Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## K-Beauty Rankings Feed πŸ’„ Snapshot the **top-ranked K-beauty products across three sources in one run**: [OLIVE YOUNG Global](https://global.oliveyoung.com) **best sellers** (USD prices), [Glowpick](https://www.glowpick.com) (κΈ€λ‘œμš°ν”½) **category rankings** (KRW prices, ratings, review counts) and [Hwahae](https://www.hwahae.com/en) (ν™”ν•΄) **trending rankings** (USD prices, ratings, review counts) β€” as one clean, unified JSON/CSV/Excel dataset. Instead of running three scrapers and gluing schemas together, you get one call, one schema: `source`, `rank`, `name`, `brand`, `price_usd` / `price_krw`, `rating`, `review_count`, `url`, `image_url`, `scraped_at`. > **Try it free.** Apify's free plan includes $5 of monthly platform credit β€” roughly **2,000 results** from this actor, no credit card required. Set your input, click Start, and export JSON/CSV/Excel. --- ### πŸš€ What it does One run collects the **top N products from each requested source**: | Source | List | Prices | Ratings & reviews | |--------|------|--------|-------------------| | `oliveyoung` | OLIVE YOUNG Global **best sellers** (what's actually selling to global buyers) | `price_usd` | β€” (not in the best-seller feed) | | `glowpick` | Glowpick **category rankings** (consumer-review-driven ranking per beauty category) | `price_krw` | `rating` + `review_count` | | `hwahae` | Hwahae **trending rankings** (Korea's biggest beauty-review app, English site) | `price_usd` | `rating` + `review_count` | Cross-referencing the three answers questions a single source can't: *is this product selling (Olive Young), loved (Glowpick/Hwahae ratings), or both?* --- ### πŸ“₯ Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |-------|------|---------|-------------| | `sources` | array | all three | Any subset of `["oliveyoung", "glowpick", "hwahae"]`. | | `topN` | integer | `30` | Top-ranked products to collect from **each** source (max 100). | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | off | Optional Apify proxy. Not required for Glowpick/Hwahae; RESIDENTIAL helps if the OLIVE YOUNG source comes back empty. | **Input example β€” top 30 from all three sources:** ```json { "sources": ["oliveyoung", "glowpick", "hwahae"], "topN": 30 } ```` *** ### πŸ“€ Output Each ranked product is one dataset record (real samples from a live run): ```json { "source": "oliveyoung", "product_id": "GA260741671", "rank": 1, "name": "MEDI-PEEL Red Lacto Collagen Hand Cream 50ml (UV/Moisture) (2 Options)", "brand": "MEDIPEEL", "price_usd": 14.4, "price_krw": null, "rating": null, "review_count": null, "category": "best-sellers", "url": "https://global.oliveyoung.com/product/detail?prdtNo=GA260741671", "image_url": "https://cdn-image.oliveyoung.com/prdtImg/1782/18bc40a5-0f29-4499-96ec-01d999926f5b.jpg", "scraped_at": "2026-07-10T15:19:13+09:00" } ``` ```json { "source": "hwahae", "product_id": "1918760", "rank": 1, "name": "MUNG BEAN pH-BALANCED CLEANSING FOAM", "brand": "beplain", "price_usd": 9.96, "price_krw": null, "rating": 4.63, "review_count": 49481, "category": "trending", "url": "https://www.hwahae.com/en/products/MUNG-BEAN-pH-BALANCED-CLEANSING-FOAM/1918760", "image_url": "https://img.hwahae.co.kr/products/1918760/1918760_20230628115919.jpg", "scraped_at": "2026-07-10T15:19:15+09:00" } ``` **Field notes** - `source` β€” which platform the record came from: `oliveyoung`, `glowpick` or `hwahae`. - `rank` β€” the product's rank **within its source list** (the list is named in `category`, e.g. OLIVE YOUNG `best-sellers`, a Glowpick category, a Hwahae ranking). Ranks are the platforms' own β€” never re-numbered across sources. - `price_usd` β€” populated for `oliveyoung` (global storefront USD display price; the sale price when discounted) and `hwahae` (exchange-rate USD price). `null` for `glowpick`. - `price_krw` β€” populated for `glowpick` where the page provides it. `null` for the USD sources. - `rating` / `review_count` β€” populated for `glowpick` and `hwahae`. `null` for `oliveyoung` (see Known limitations). - `brand` β€” the **public commercial brand name**, like a shop name. No personal data is collected. - A 39-record real sample (13 per source) lives in [`samples/sample-output.json`](samples/sample-output.json). *** ### πŸ’‘ Use cases - **K-beauty market research** β€” one dataset that shows what's *selling* (Olive Young best sellers) next to what consumers *rate highest* (Glowpick, Hwahae). - **Trend tracking** β€” schedule daily/weekly runs and diff `rank` by `source` + `product_id` to catch risers before they peak. - **Brand monitoring** β€” filter by `brand` across all three lists to see where a brand ranks, at what price, with what rating. - **Sourcing / dropshipping** β€” cross-check a candidate product's USD retail price, KRW domestic price and review sentiment volume in one place. - **AI agents & LLM pipelines** β€” a compact, unified JSON feed of Korea's beauty rankings for RAG or a market-analysis assistant. *** ### 🌐 Data source This actor reads the same **public** data each platform's own website serves β€” OLIVE YOUNG Global's best-seller JSON feed, Glowpick's server-rendered category ranking pages, and Hwahae's server-rendered trending ranking pages. No login, no private API. It is a **derivative** of this maintainer's single-source actors ([oliveyoung-scraper](https://apify.com/kdatafactory/oliveyoung-scraper), [glowpick-scraper](https://apify.com/kdatafactory/glowpick-scraper), [hwahae-scraper](https://apify.com/kdatafactory/hwahae-scraper)) β€” same verified client logic, one unified schema, one bill (the sibling actors are never invoked). **Partial-failure tolerant:** if one source is temporarily blocked or empty, the run still returns the other sources' rankings (per-source counts are written to the run's `SOURCE_REPORT` key-value record). It fails only when *all* sources return nothing. *** ### ⚠️ Known limitations (honest notes) - **No ratings/review counts for `oliveyoung`.** The best-seller feed does not carry them, so those fields are `null` on `oliveyoung` records. Ratings come from the `glowpick` and `hwahae` sources (that contrast is the point of the feed). For Olive Young review data use the dedicated [oliveyoung-scraper](https://apify.com/kdatafactory/oliveyoung-scraper) (search mode). - **`price_krw` can be `null` on some `glowpick` records** when the page omits the price for a product; likewise a Glowpick brand name can occasionally be missing. - **One currency per source.** The actor reports prices exactly as each platform shows them (USD for the global storefronts, KRW for Glowpick) β€” it does not convert currencies. - **OLIVE YOUNG may filter datacenter IPs.** If the `oliveyoung` source comes back empty (other sources unaffected), re-run with an Apify **RESIDENTIAL** proxy. - **No ingredients / review texts.** This is a rankings feed. For ingredient and review-text data use [hwahae-scraper](https://apify.com/kdatafactory/hwahae-scraper). *** ### βš–οΈ Rate & legality note - Only **public, non-personal** catalog data is collected β€” ranking lists anyone can see without logging in. **No personal data** (no reviewer names, nicknames, profiles, or review texts). `brand` is a public commercial brand name, like a shop name. - Requests are **rate-limited** (sequential pages, β‰₯500 ms delay; a full default run is about 5 light requests) to stay light on the sites. - You are responsible for complying with each platform's Terms of Service and applicable law in your jurisdiction. Use the data for research, monitoring, and analytics β€” not to replicate the platforms. *** ### ❓ FAQ **Is it legal to scrape this data?** This actor collects only public, non-personal catalog data β€” the same ranking lists any visitor sees without logging in. No personal data is collected (no reviewer names, nicknames, or profiles). You are responsible for how you use the data; see the rate & legality note above. **What does it cost in practice?** $2.50 per 1,000 results (launch pricing) + a few cents of platform usage. Example: a daily all-source snapshot at `topN: 30` (~90 results) costs about $0.23/day. Apify's free $5 monthly credit covers ~2,000 results. **Do I need to configure proxies?** No β€” the default settings work out of the box. If only the `oliveyoung` source comes back empty, enable an Apify RESIDENTIAL proxy and re-run. **How fresh is the data?** Every run scrapes the live ranking lists at run time. Schedule the actor for recurring snapshots β€” rank-over-time is where the value is. **Why do some fields come back `null`?** Each platform exposes different fields, and the actor never fakes what a source doesn't provide: `oliveyoung` has USD prices but no ratings; `glowpick` has KRW prices, ratings and review counts; `hwahae` has USD prices, ratings and review counts. See Known limitations. **Can I run just one source?** Yes β€” set `"sources": ["glowpick"]` (or any subset). Note the dedicated single-source actors offer deeper options (search, categories, ingredients). *** ### πŸ€– Use with AI agents (MCP) Call this Actor as a tool from Claude or any MCP-compatible AI agent β€” no glue code. Point your MCP client at Apify's server, scoped to this Actor: ```json { "mcpServers": { "apify": { "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=kdatafactory/kbeauty-rankings-feed", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer " } } } } ``` Your agent can then pull K-beauty rankings across Olive Young, Glowpick & Hwahae on demand β€” no scraping code in your app. Grab a free token from [Apify β†’ Integrations](https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations). ### πŸ‡°πŸ‡· More Korean data actors This actor is part of a suite of Korean-platform scrapers by the same maintainer: - [oliveyoung-scraper](https://apify.com/kdatafactory/oliveyoung-scraper) β€” OLIVE YOUNG Global: best sellers, keyword search and category browse with review counts. - [glowpick-scraper](https://apify.com/kdatafactory/glowpick-scraper) β€” Glowpick beauty rankings by category with KRW prices. - [hwahae-scraper](https://apify.com/kdatafactory/hwahae-scraper) β€” Hwahae trending rankings with ingredient/review enrichment options.

Found an issue? Open it in the Issues tab β€” I respond fast.* # Actor input Schema ## `sources` (type: `array`): Which K-beauty ranking sources to snapshot in this run. Default: all three. Each source contributes its own top list β€” OLIVE YOUNG Global best sellers (USD prices), Glowpick category rankings (KRW prices, ratings, review counts) and Hwahae trending rankings (USD prices, ratings, review counts). ## `topN` (type: `integer`): How many top-ranked products to collect from EACH source (so 3 sources x topN 30 = up to 90 records). Maximum 100 per source. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Optional Apify proxy. The Glowpick and Hwahae ranking pages are readable from most IPs; OLIVE YOUNG Global occasionally WAF-filters datacenter IPs β€” if the oliveyoung source comes back empty, re-run with a RESIDENTIAL proxy. If a proxy tunnel fails, the actor retries the request directly. ## Actor input object example ```json { "sources": [ "oliveyoung", "glowpick", "hwahae" ], "topN": 30, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
