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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 ## Sideshow Collectibles Scraper Scrape premium pop-culture collectibles from [Sideshow.com](https://www.sideshow.com) — statues, sixth-scale figures, Hot Toys, Premium Format figures, art prints, busts, replicas and more from Marvel, DC Comics, Star Wars and dozens of other licenses. The Actor reads Sideshow's storefront search (powered by Bloomreach Discovery) and returns clean, structured JSON — no browser, fast and reliable. ### What it extracts Per product: | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `productId` | Sideshow product ID | | `title` | Product name | | `brand` | Brand / license (e.g. "DC Comics", "Marvel", "Star Wars") | | `category` | Product type (e.g. "Statues", "Sixth Scale Figure", "Art Print") | | `price` | Current price (sale price if on sale) | | `regularPrice` | Regular list price | | `salePrice` | Sale price when discounted, else `null` | | `onSale` | Whether the item is discounted | | `specialOffer` | Special-offer text, if any | | `status` / `availability` | In Stock / Pre-Order / Sold Out / Waitlisted | | `inStock` | Boolean convenience flag | | `isExclusive` | Sideshow Exclusive edition | | `lowStock` | Low-stock flag | | `sku` / `parentSku` | Product SKU(s) | | `image` | Product image URL | | `url` | Product page URL | | `searchQuery` | The query that produced this row | | `scrapedAt` | ISO timestamp | ### Input ```json { "searchQueries": ["batman", "star wars"], "maxListings": 100, "onlyInStock": false, "sort": "Featured" } ```` - **searchQueries** — one or more keywords to search. - **maxListings** — max products per query (0 = all available). - **onlyInStock** — return only In Stock items. - **minPrice / maxPrice** — price range filter in USD. - **sort** — Featured, Newest, Popular, Price: Low to High, Price: High to Low. - **proxyConfiguration** — optional; the endpoint works without a proxy. ### Use cases - Collectible price tracking and drop alerts - Resale / arbitrage research (compare Sideshow retail vs. secondary market) - Monitoring pre-orders, exclusives and restocks - Building catalogs of statues / figures by license or category ### Output Results are stored in the default dataset. Export to JSON, CSV, Excel or via the API. *This Actor is not affiliated with Sideshow, Inc. Respect Sideshow's Terms of Service and use responsibly.* # Actor input Schema ## `searchQueries` (type: `array`): List of search terms to scrape on Sideshow.com (e.g., 'batman', 'star wars', 'hot toys iron man'). Each query produces a separate set of results. ## `maxListings` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of products to scrape per search query. Set to 0 for maximum available. ## `onlyInStock` (type: `boolean`): If enabled, only returns products with status 'In Stock' (skips Pre-Order, Sold Out and Waitlisted items). ## `minPrice` (type: `integer`): Minimum price filter in US dollars. Only products at or above this price are returned. ## `maxPrice` (type: `integer`): Maximum price filter in US dollars. Only products at or below this price are returned. ## `sort` (type: `string`): Result ordering. 'Featured' is the site default. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. Sideshow's JSON search endpoint is generally accessible without proxies; enable only if you hit rate limiting at scale. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQueries": [ "batman" ], "maxListings": 100, "onlyInStock": false, "sort": "Featured", "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
