## 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.

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).

## ASOS Scraper (Apify Actor)

Scrape ASOS product listings by keyword or category across 12 country stores.


### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `query` | string | — | Keyword search (or use `categoryId`) |
| `categoryId` | string | — | Numeric ASOS category ID OR a full category URL (cid is extracted automatically) |
| `country` | enum | `GB` | One of GB, US, AU, FR, DE, IT, ES, NL, SE, DK, IE, ROW — sets store, currency, language, size schema |
| `sort` | enum | — | `freshness` / `priceasc` / `pricedesc` / blank (relevance) |
| `minPrice` / `maxPrice` | int | — | Price range in the country's currency |
| `maxPages` | int (1–50) | `1` | Result pages to fetch |
| `pageSize` | int (12–200) | `72` | Products per page request |
| `includeDetails` | bool | `false` | Per‑product catalogue API call for sizes/stock/all images |
| `maxProducts` | int | `0` | Hard cap on items pushed |
| `impersonate` | enum | `chrome124` | curl_cffi TLS profile |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | RESIDENTIAL | Proxy settings |

You must supply either `query` or `categoryId`. With both, the keyword is searched within the category.

#### Example input

```json
{
  "categoryId": "https://www.asos.com/men/jeans/cat/?cid=4208",
  "country": "GB",
  "sort": "priceasc",
  "maxPrice": 50,
  "maxPages": 3,
  "includeDetails": true,
  "maxProducts": 100,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] }
}
````

### Output

#### Search‑only item

```json
{
  "id": 205168521,
  "product_code": "205168521",
  "name": "Levi's 501 original straight leg jeans in mid wash",

  "additional_images": ["https://images.asos-media.com/.../image2xxl.jpg", "..."],
  "product_type": "Jeans"

    { "variant_id": 9012346, "size": "32R", "brand_size": "32/32", "in_stock": true,  "low_stock": true,  "sku": "..." },
    { "variant_id": 9012347, "size": "34R", "brand_size": "34/32", "in_stock": false, "low_stock": false, "sku": "..." }

# Actor input Schema

## `query` (type: `string`):

Free-text search. Provide this OR a categoryId. If both are set, the keyword is searched within the category.

## `categoryId` (type: `string`):

Numeric ASOS category ID (e.g. '7616') OR a full ASOS category URL — the actor will extract the cid for you. Browse https://www.asos.com to find the category. Leave blank if you're using a keyword search.

## `country` (type: `string`):

Determines the ASOS store, currency, language and size schema used. ASOS ships globally but stock & prices differ.

## `sort` (type: `string`):

How ASOS orders the results.

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

Filter out products priced below this number (in the country's currency).

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

Filter out products priced above this number (in the country's currency).

## `maxPages` (type: `integer`):

How many pages of search results to fetch.

## `pageSize` (type: `integer`):

How many products to request per page. ASOS allows up to 200; their website uses 72.

## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

If true, the actor hits the catalogue API per product for full details: every size with stock level, all gallery images, care info, discount %, brand description. Roughly multiplies runtime by N products.

## `maxProducts` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many products have been pushed. 0 = no cap.

## `impersonate` (type: `string`):

curl\_cffi TLS / JA3 fingerprint. ASOS's API is fairly open but they fingerprint at the edge.

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

Apify Proxy or your own. ASOS's API tolerates datacenter IPs for light scraping; switch to residential if you start hitting 403s or get redirected to a CAPTCHA page.
