## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Ashford Scraper — Discount Luxury & Fashion Watches

Scrape **[Ashford.com](https://www.ashford.com)**, the long-running discount luxury watch retailer, and get clean, structured JSON for thousands of watches from **Movado, Tissot, Invicta, Versace, Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, Marc Jacobs, Porsche Design, Paul Smith** and 100+ other brands.

For every watch you get the **sale price**, the manufacturer **List Price (MSRP)** and the computed **discount percentage** — the exact data you need for deal monitoring, repricing and market analysis.

### What you get

| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| `title` | `Movado Bold Watch 3601340` |
| `brand` | `Movado` |
| `model` | `Bold` |
| `reference` | `3601340` (manufacturer reference / SKU) |
| `gender` | `men` / `women` / `unisex` |
| `price` | `229.99` (current sale price, USD) |
| `listPrice` | `695.00` (manufacturer List Price / MSRP) |
| `discountPercent` | `66` |
| `available` | `true` / `false` (in stock) |
| `gtin` | `885997135887` (UPC/EAN barcode) |
| `image` | Product image URL |
| `url` | Direct product URL |
| `tags`, `productType`, `publishedAt`, `updatedAt` | Extra metadata |

### Use cases

- **Deal & discount monitoring** — track when a specific reference drops below a target price or discount threshold.
- **Price comparison / arbitrage** — compare Ashford's heavily discounted prices against eBay, Amazon, Jomashop or grey-market resellers.
- **MSRP database** — Ashford exposes the manufacturer List Price per reference, great for building retail-price baselines.
- **Inventory & assortment analytics** — track which brands/models are in stock, added, or sold out over time.
- **Repricing feeds** — feed competitor pricing into your own store's repricer.

### Input

```json
{
    "brands": ["Movado", "Tissot"],
    "maxItems": 100,
    "fetchListPrice": true,
    "onlyAvailable": false,
    "minPrice": 100,
    "maxPrice": 1000
}
```

- **brands** — optional list of brand names, each scraped via its Ashford brand collection. Leave empty to scrape the whole catalog.
- **maxItems** — cap on the number of records (0 = everything).
- **fetchListPrice** — when on (default), each product page is fetched to extract the List Price (MSRP), discount % and GTIN. Turn off for a faster price/stock-only crawl.
- **onlyAvailable** — only in-stock watches.
- **minPrice / maxPrice** — price range filter in USD.

### Output example

```json
{
    "listingId": 10338171814183,
    "title": "Movado Bold Watch 3601340",
    "brand": "Movado",
    "model": "Bold",
    "reference": "3601340",
    "gender": null,
    "productType": "Watch",
    "price": 229.0,
    "listPrice": 695.0,
    "discountPercent": 67,
    "currency": "USD",
    "available": true,
    "gtin": "885997135887",
    "image": "https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0909/1625/8087/files/3601340_F.jpg",
    "url": "https://www.ashford.com/products/movado-3601340",
    "publishedAt": "2026-08-12T10:11:08-04:00",
    "updatedAt": "2026-08-12T16:46:17-04:00",
    "sourceCollection": "Movado",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-08-12T21:00:00.000Z"
}
```

### Why this actor

- **Fast and cheap** — reads Ashford's open product JSON directly; no browser, no proxies.
- **MSRP + discount included** — the List Price shown on Ashford product pages is extracted and the discount computed for you.
- **Pay per result** — you are only charged for the records actually delivered.

### Notes

- Prices are in USD. Ashford frequently runs extra coupon codes on top of the listed sale price; the scraped `price` is the listed sale price before coupons.
- If a run returns no records, check the `DIAGNOSTIC` key in the run's key-value store for the reason (empty brand collection, filters too strict, or a site change).

# Actor input Schema

## `brands` (type: `array`):

Optional list of watch brands to scrape (e.g. 'Movado', 'Tissot', 'Invicta', 'Versace', 'Dolce & Gabbana'). Each maps to an Ashford brand collection. Leave EMPTY to scrape the entire catalog.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of watches to scrape. Set to 0 for as many as available.

## `fetchListPrice` (type: `boolean`):

Fetch each product page to extract the manufacturer List Price (MSRP), the discount percentage off retail, and the GTIN/UPC barcode. Slower, but this is Ashford's headline data — the discount off retail.

## `onlyAvailable` (type: `boolean`):

Only include watches currently in stock. Leave OFF to also capture out-of-stock listings.

## `minPrice` (type: `integer`):

Only include watches priced at or above this amount (USD).

## `maxPrice` (type: `integer`):

Only include watches priced at or below this amount (USD).

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Proxy settings. Ashford serves its Shopify JSON and product pages openly — no proxy is needed by default.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "brands": [
    "Movado"
  ],
  "maxItems": 15,
  "fetchListPrice": true,
  "onlyAvailable": false,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
```

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "brands": [
    "Movado"
  ],
  "maxItems": 15
}' |
apify call lulzasaur/ashford-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,lulzasaur/ashford-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
