## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Rossmann.de Price Scraper

Ein spezialisierter Apify Actor, der Produktpreise von Rossmann.de extrahiert.

### Funktionsweise

Der Scraper navigiert zu einer Rossmann-Produktseite und extrahiert den aktuellen Preis. Er berücksichtigt JavaScript-generierte Inhalte und gibt den Preis im europäischen Format zurück.

### Input

Der Actor unterstützt zwei Input-Formate:

#### Format 1: Direct product_url

```json
{
  "product_url": "https://www.rossmann.de/de/pflege-und-duft-philips-oneblade-360-blade-rasierer-qp272423/p/8720689029070"
}
```

#### Format 2: start_urls (kompatibel mit Standard-Apify-Scrapern)

```json
{
  "start_urls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.rossmann.de/de/pflege-und-duft-philips-oneblade-360-blade-rasierer-qp272423/p/8720689029070",
      "method": "GET"
    }
  ]
}
```

#### Parameter

- **product_url** (string, optional): Die URL einer Rossmann-Produktseite
  - Muss eine gültige rossmann.de URL sein
  - Beispiel: `https://www.rossmann.de/de/pflege-und-duft-philips-oneblade-360-blade-rasierer-qp272423/p/8720689029070`
- **start_urls** (array, optional): Array von URL-Objekten (nur die erste URL wird verwendet)
  - Kompatibel mit Standard-Apify-Scraper-Format
  - Beispiel: `[{"url": "https://www.rossmann.de/de/...", "method": "GET"}]`

### Output

Der Actor gibt folgende Daten zurück:

```json
{
  "url": "https://www.rossmann.de/de/pflege-und-duft-philips-oneblade-360-blade-rasierer-qp272423/p/8720689029070",
  "price": "34,99 €",
  "currency": "EUR",
  "extracted_at": "2024-01-01T12:00:00.000Z",
  "success": true
}
```

#### Output-Felder

- **url** (string): Die verarbeitete Produkt-URL
- **price** (string): Der extrahierte Preis im europäischen Format (z.B. "12,99 €")
- **currency** (string): Die Währung (immer "EUR")
- **extracted_at** (string): Zeitstempel der Extraktion (ISO format)
- **success** (boolean): Ob die Extraktion erfolgreich war
- **error** (string, optional): Fehlermeldung bei Misserfolg

### Technische Details

#### Extraktion

Der Scraper verwendet den folgenden XPath zur Preis-Extraktion:

```
/html/body/div[2]/div[1]/div/main/section/div/div[2]/div[2]/div/div[3]/div[2]/button
```

Innerhalb dieses Elements wird nach der Klasse `data-product-price` gesucht.

#### Fallback-Strategie

Falls der Hauptselektor nicht funktioniert, werden alternative Selektoren verwendet:

- `button[class*="price"]`
- `[data-product-price]`
- `.price`
- `[class*="product-price"]`

#### Browser-Konfiguration

- **JavaScript-Unterstützung**: Aktiviert für dynamische Inhalte
- **Wartezeit**: 2 Sekunden nach Seitenladen für JavaScript-Ausführung
- **User-Agent**: Realistischer Desktop-Browser
- **Headless Mode**: Aktiviert für Performance

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "start_urls": [
        {
            "url": "https://apify.com"
        }
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("marvinkruell/rossmann-price-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "start_urls": [{ "url": "https://apify.com" }] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("marvinkruell/rossmann-price-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "start_urls": [
    {
      "url": "https://apify.com"
    }
  ]
}' |
apify call marvinkruell/rossmann-price-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,marvinkruell/rossmann-price-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).
