## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

# README

## The RealReal Luxury Consignment Scraper

Scrape authenticated luxury consignment listings from [The RealReal](https://www.therealreal.com) — the largest online marketplace for pre-owned designer fashion, handbags, fine jewelry, and watches.

Browse by category and extract clean, structured product data: **title, brand, current price, original/MSRP price, size, condition, color, material, availability, product URL, and image gallery.**

### What you get

For every listing:

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `title` | Product name (e.g. "Swift Kelly II Retourne 25") |
| `brand` | Designer / maker (e.g. "Hermès", "Chanel", "Rolex") |
| `price` | Current selling price in USD |
| `priceFormatted` | Price as displayed (e.g. "$20,000.00") |
| `originalPrice` | Original listing price in USD |
| `msrp` | Manufacturer's suggested retail price (when available) |
| `discount` | Discount info (when on sale) |
| `size` | Shoe/clothing/ring size (varies by category) |
| `condition` | Item condition (e.g. "Excellent", "Good", "Pristine") |
| `color` | Color(s) |
| `material` | Primary material (e.g. "Leather", "Suede") |
| `gender` | Gender/department |
| `availability` | Stock status (e.g. "AVAILABLE") |
| `quantity` | Units available |
| `obsessionCount` | Number of shoppers who "obsessed" (favorited) the item |
| `sku` | The RealReal SKU |
| `url` | Direct product page URL |
| `imageUrl` | Primary product image |
| `images` | Full array of product image URLs |
| `sourceUrl` | The category page this record came from |
| `scrapedAt` | ISO 8601 timestamp of the scrape |

### Input

```json
{
  "searchQueries": ["women/handbags", "women/shoes", "men/watches"],
  "maxResults": 100,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] }
}
````

| Input | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `searchQueries` | array | Category **paths** to scrape, e.g. `"women/handbags"`, `"women/shoes/pumps"`, `"men/watches"`, or full shop URLs. Leave empty for popular defaults. |
| `maxResults` | integer | Max records across all categories. `0` = no limit. Default `100`. |
| `scrapeDetails` | boolean | Reserved — full detail is already returned per record. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Proxy settings. **RESIDENTIAL is recommended and default.** |

#### Finding category paths

The path is whatever appears in the site URL after `/shop/`. For example:

- `https://www.therealreal.com/shop/women/handbags` → `"women/handbags"`
- `https://www.therealreal.com/shop/women/handbags/shoulder-bags` → `"women/handbags/shoulder-bags"`
- `https://www.therealreal.com/shop/men/watches` → `"men/watches"`

Browse the site, copy the URL of any category you like, and drop it into `searchQueries`.

### How it works

The RealReal is a Next.js site protected by **PerimeterX (HUMAN)** bot defense. Each category page server-renders up to **120 fully-detailed product records** inside its embedded `__NEXT_DATA__` JSON. This Actor fetches those pages with a realistic browser fingerprint (and residential proxy) and extracts the structured product data directly — no fragile HTML parsing.

> Note: The RealReal's free-text keyword search and deep pagination run through a bot-gated GraphQL API and are **not** server-rendered, so this scraper browses by **category path** (which is stable and reliable) rather than by keyword.

### Use cases

- **Resale arbitrage** — compare The RealReal prices vs. retail/MSRP to spot deals.
- **Designer price monitoring** — track pre-owned Hermès, Chanel, Rolex, Louis Vuitton pricing.
- **Market research** — analyze luxury resale inventory, condition mix, and demand signals.
- **Inventory feeds** — power dashboards, alerts, or comparison tools.

### Pricing

Pay-per-result: a small charge per listing returned, plus a tiny actor-start fee. You only pay for the data you get.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

Category paths to scrape on The RealReal. Provide shop paths like "women/handbags", "women/shoes", "men/watches", "women/handbags/shoulder-bags", or full shop URLs like "https://www.therealreal.com/shop/women/shoes". Each category returns up to 120 luxury listings. Leave empty to scrape popular default categories (handbags, shoes, watches).

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of listing records to return across all categories. The RealReal server-renders up to 120 products per category page. Use 0 for no limit (returns up to 120 x number of categories). Default 100.

## `scrapeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Reserved. The RealReal already server-renders full product detail (brand, price, MSRP, size, condition, material, color, images) on the category page, so every record is complete without extra requests.

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

Proxy settings. The RealReal uses PerimeterX (HUMAN) bot defense, so RESIDENTIAL proxy is strongly recommended and used by default.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "searchQueries": [
    "women/handbags",
    "women/shoes",
    "men/watches"
  ],
  "maxResults": 100,
  "scrapeDetails": false,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ]
  }
}
