## 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`).

## Cult Beauty Product Scraper (Apify Actor)

### What does Cult Beauty Product Scraper do?

Cult Beauty Product Scraper searches [Cult Beauty](https://www.cultbeauty.com/) -
a leading UK multi-brand beauty retailer known for stocking hard-to-find and
exclusive skincare, makeup, and haircare brands - for any keyword and returns
each matching product's title, price, star rating, review count, image, and
whether it's flagged as a Cult Beauty exclusive. No login or API key needed.

Try it with the default search ("serum") and see real results in seconds.
Run it on a schedule via Apify's Scheduler to track price and range changes
over time, or call it from your own app through the Apify API.

### Why use Cult Beauty Product Scraper?

- **Price and range monitoring.** Track prices, ratings, and exclusivity
  across Cult Beauty's skincare, makeup, haircare, and fragrance catalogue.
- **Exclusive-launch tracking.** Spot which products are flagged as
  Cult Beauty exclusives before they appear elsewhere.
- **Competitor research.** Compare Cult Beauty's pricing and customer
  ratings against other beauty retailers.
- **No manual searching.** Give it a list of keywords and get every match
  back as structured data in one run.

### Pricing

Each run charges a small start fee plus one charge per product returned -
you pay for the result, not for how the search was performed.

### Tips and disclaimers

This Actor reads Cult Beauty's own publicly available search results - it
does not require an account or bypass any access controls. Prices, ratings,
and exclusivity flags change frequently; treat results as a snapshot at the
time of the run. For support or a custom version of this Actor, use the
Issues tab.

# Actor input Schema

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

Keywords to search for on Cult Beauty, e.g. "serum", "moisturiser", "exclusive".

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of products to return in total across all search queries. Default 20, so a default run stays small and cheap - raise it yourself for more.

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

Optional. Recommended for larger runs to reduce the chance of rate-limiting.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "searchQueries": [
    "serum"
  ],
  "maxItems": 20,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true

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).
