## 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).


# README

## Nordstrom Search Scraper

Scrapes product listings from any Nordstrom.com search or category page. For each input URL, returns every product record visible on that page — id, brand, title, color/size variants, prices, images, web path, and the full nested data Nordstrom hydrates into its front-end.



### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `searchUrls` | array of strings | yes | — | Nordstrom search or category URLs |
| `maxPagesPerUrl` | integer | no | `1` | Each page returns up to ~80 products |
| `proxyConfiguration` | proxy object | no | no proxy | UC Mode usually bypasses PerimeterX from datacenter IPs |
| `headless` | boolean | no | `false` | UC Mode is more stealthy with the container's Xvfb display |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "searchUrls": [
    "https://www.nordstrom.com/browse/women/clothing/dresses",
    "https://www.nordstrom.com/browse/men/clothing/jeans",
    "https://www.nordstrom.com/sr?keyword=running+shoes"
  ],
  "maxPagesPerUrl": 2
}
````

### Output

Each product is pushed to the default dataset as a separate record. The shape comes verbatim from Nordstrom's `productsById` object — typical keys include:

```json
{
  "id": 7842931,
  "brandId": 4521,
  "brandName": "Theory",
  "sellingBrand": "Theory",
  "styleNumber": "B0501212",
  "copyProductTitle": "Wool Blend Sheath Dress",
  "copyDescription": "Clean lines and luxurious wool-blend fabric ...",
  "colorCount": 4,
  "colorDefaultId": "BLK001",
  "webPathAlias": "/s/theory-wool-blend-sheath-dress/7842931",
  "defaultCoreChoice": { "...": "..." },
  "media": { "...": "carousels by color, with image URLs" },
  "filters": { "color": { "byId": { "...": "..." } } },
  "skus": { "byId": { "...": "all SKU variants with sizes" } },
  "price": { "bySkuId": { "...": "per-SKU pricing" } },
  "_searchUrl": "https://www.nordstrom.com/browse/women/clothing/dresses"
}
```

The `_searchUrl` field is the only thing added by the actor — everything else comes straight from Nordstrom's internal data.

A summary is written to the **key-value store** under `RUN_SUMMARY`:

```json
{
  "total_items": 160,
  "urls_requested": ["...", "..."],
  "urls_failed": [],
  "max_pages_per_url": 2,
  "elapsed_seconds": 24.7
}
```

### Where to find Nordstrom URLs

Any Nordstrom search or browse page works. Examples:

- `https://www.nordstrom.com/browse/women/clothing/dresses`
- `https://www.nordstrom.com/browse/men/shoes/sneakers-athletic`
- `https://www.nordstrom.com/browse/beauty/skincare`
- `https://www.nordstrom.com/sr?keyword=cashmere+sweater`

# Actor input Schema

## `searchUrls` (type: `array`):

Nordstrom search or category-listing URLs. Examples: https://www.nordstrom.com/browse/women/clothing/dresses, https://www.nordstrom.com/sr?keyword=jeans. Each page typically returns ~80 products.

## `maxPagesPerUrl` (type: `integer`):

How many pagination pages to walk per URL. Each page has up to ~80 products.

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

No proxy by default. Nordstrom is PerimeterX-protected; UC Mode usually handles this from datacenter IPs. If you start seeing the PerimeterX challenge page, switch to Apify Proxy (residential US works best).

## `headless` (type: `boolean`):

Run Chrome in headless mode. Disable for better UC Mode stealth (uses Xvfb in container).

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "searchUrls": [
    "https://www.nordstrom.com/browse/women/clothing/dresses",
    "https://www.nordstrom.com/browse/men/clothing/jeans"
  ],
  "maxPagesPerUrl": 1,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  },
  "headless": false
}
```
