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.

This actor collects product data from Crutchfield listing pages and product detail pages. ### Introduction The Crutchfield scraper starts from listing/search URLs or detail URLs, crawls listing pages, opens product detail pages, and extracts structured product data such as name, description, brand, SKU, ratings, offers, pricing, and shipping details. ### Use Cases - **Market research**: Track product assortment, prices, and ratings by category. - **Lead generation**: Collect structured product data for sales, enrichment, or catalog pipelines. - **Monitoring**: Watch product availability and pricing changes over time. - **Analytics pipelines**: Feed BI tools, dashboards, and internal warehousing. ### Input Provide the following fields: - `startUrls` (array, required): Crutchfield listing/search or detail URLs. - `maxItems` (integer, required): Maximum number of detail products to extract per start URL. - `proxyConfiguration` (object, optional): Apify proxy settings. Notes: - If a `startUrl` is a detail URL, the actor extracts that detail directly. - Crawling stops per source URL when `maxItems` is reached. ### Input Examples **1) Start URLs** ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.crutchfield.com/g_300/Car-Stereos.html" }, { "url": "https://www.crutchfield.com/p_104BE7ACP/BOSS-Audio-BE7ACP.html" } ], "maxItems": 10, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ```` ### Output Each dataset item contains fields like: ```json { "url": "https://www.crutchfield.com/p_104BE7ACP/BOSS-Audio-BE7ACP.html", "name": "BOSS Audio BE7ACP", "description": "Digital multimedia receiver (does not play discs)", "category": "Digital Multimedia Video Receivers", "sku": "104BE7ACP", "mpn": "BE7ACP", "gtin": "791489128940", "reviewCount": 1056, "ratingValue": 4.5, "bestRating": 5, "worstRating": 1, "brand": "BOSS Audio", "offers": [ { "price": 189.99, "priceCurrency": "USD", "sellerName": "Crutchfield" } ] } ``` The scraper paginates through listing results and stops when `maxItems` is reached per start URL or when no more result links are found. ### Why use the Crutchfield Scraper? - **Focused**: Built specifically for Crutchfield listing and detail flows. - **Structured output**: Ready-to-use JSON records for automation and analysis. - **Per-URL limits**: `maxItems` is enforced per start URL. - **Flexible input**: Supports listing URLs and direct detail URLs. - **Apify-native**: Works with Apify datasets, request queue, and proxy config. ### FAQ - **How many products can it extract?**\ Controlled by `maxItems` per source URL. - **Do I need proxies?**\ Not always, but proxies are recommended for larger runs and stability. - **Can I start from a product detail URL?**\ Yes. Detail URLs are supported directly in `startUrls`. - **What if Crutchfield changes their page structure?**\ The actor may require updates to selectors/field parsing. ### Need to scrape other e-commerce platforms?
