## 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`).

![Lindex Sweden Scraper - Lindex Sweden fashion scraper showing price and discount percentage](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/kE36venAoVchGsE6b/records/lindex-scraper--hero.png)

### What does Lindex Sweden Scraper do?

Lindex Sweden Scraper reads any Lindex.com Sweden category page and returns, for each product, the name, current price in SEK, previous price and discount percentage when the item is on sale, and an image URL. Give it one or more category URLs and it returns the products shown on that page up to the limit you set.

### Why use Lindex Sweden Scraper?

- Covers Lindex, a major Nordic fashion retailer not covered by most product-data tools.
- Returns both current and previous price, with a ready-made discount percentage.
- Works on any category URL - sale, new arrivals, or any department.
- No account or API key.

### What makes this different

Most fashion scrapers focus on US/UK retailers. This Actor reads Lindex's own Swedish category pages directly, returning clean structured pricing and discount data for the Nordic market specifically.

### Who can use the Lindex Scraper and how?

- **Price trackers:** Monitor Lindex prices and discounts across categories over time.
- **Fashion aggregators:** Pull Lindex's catalog into a multi-retailer comparison feed.
- **Deal and coupon sites:** Source current discounted Lindex items for a Swedish audience.
- **Market researchers:** Study pricing and discount patterns in the Swedish fashion market.

### How it works

![Lindex Sweden Scraper workflow: your input, collection, output](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/kE36venAoVchGsE6b/records/lindex-scraper--how-it-works.png)

1. **Your input** — add one or more Lindex.com Sweden category URLs, plus a max results count
2. **The Actor collects it** — the Actor reads each category page's own product listing
3. **Your output** — you get one row per product, with price, previous price and discount

### What data can you extract?

The dataset has 8 fields per row:

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `id` | string | Lindex's product identifier, taken from the product URL. |
| `name` | string | Product name. |
| `url` | string | Product page URL. |
| `priceSek` | number | Current price in SEK. |
| `previousPriceSek` | number | Previous (non-discounted) price in SEK, when on sale. |
| `onSale` | boolean | True when a previous price is shown, meaning the item is discounted. |
| `discountPercent` | number | Discount percentage, when on sale. |
| `imageUrl` | string | Product image URL. |

### How to use Lindex Sweden Scraper

![Lindex Sweden Scraper input form](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/kE36venAoVchGsE6b/records/lindex-scraper--input.png)

1. Open the Actor and go to the **Input** tab.
2. Add one or more category URLs under Start URLs (e.g. a sale or department page).
3. Optionally set filters and a **Max results** limit.
4. Click **Start**. A default run finishes in under a minute.
5. Open the **Output** tab, then download the dataset or connect it to your tools.

| `startUrls` | array | No | `[{"url":"https://www.lindex.com/se/rea/dam"}]` | One or more Lindex.com Sweden category URLs, e.g. https://www.lindex.com/se/rea/dam. |
| `maxItems` | integer | No | `30` | Maximum number of products to return, per category URL. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | No | `{"useApifyProxy":false}` | Lindex's category pages work without a proxy for moderate volumes. Enable Apify Proxy for larger runs. |

A real dataset item:

```json

  "id": "3009613-766-bla-flare-karen-cropped-jeans-med-medelhog-midja",
  "name": "FLARE Karen cropped jeans med medelhög midja",
  "url": "https://www.lindex.com/se/p/3009613-766-bla-flare-karen-cropped-jeans-med-medelhog-midja?hl=sv",
  "priceSek": 299.5,

  "discountPercent": 40,
  "imageUrl": "https://i8.amplience.net/i/Lindex/3009613_766_PS_F/bla-flare-karen-cropped-jeans-med-medelhog-midja?w=600&h=800&fmt=auto&qlt=70&fmt.jp2.qlt…"
}
```

### Usage Examples

#### Scrape the sale section

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.lindex.com/se/rea/dam"
    }
  ],
  "maxItems": 30
}
```

#### Scrape a department

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.lindex.com/se/dam/ytterklader"
    }
  ],
  "maxItems": 30
}
```

### Tips for Best Results

- Use a specific sale or department category URL rather than the homepage for the most relevant results.
- Re-run on a schedule and compare discountPercent over time to catch new markdowns.
- Default is 5 results for a fast test. Set the max to 0 to return everything available.

### Known Limitations

- Returns the products shown on the page itself rather than deep category pagination.
- Size and color variant-level stock is not included.

### Integrations

Run it from the Apify API, on a schedule, or from a webhook. Send results straight to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, Slack or your own database with Apify's built-in integrations.

### Export Formats

Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML table or RSS from the **Output** tab or the API.

### Frequently Asked Questions

#### Does it need a Lindex account?

No. The Actor reads Lindex's public category pages and needs no account or key.

#### Can I target the sale section?

Yes - use any Lindex.com Sweden sale category URL, e.g. the women's or men's sale page.

#### How many products does one run return?

Up to the number shown on that category page (typically around 30-40), capped by your Max results.

#### Do I need an account or login?

No. The Actor reads public data and needs no account or key.

#### Am I charged for failed runs or empty results?

You are only charged for results that are actually written to the dataset.

#### Can I run it on a schedule?

Yes. Create a Task with your input and add a schedule in Apify Console. With monitor mode on, each scheduled run returns only what changed since the previous one.

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).
