## 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

![Systembolaget Scraper - Systembolaget scraper showing price, alcohol percentage and taste profile](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/kE36venAoVchGsE6b/records/systembolaget-scraper--hero.png)

### What does Systembolaget Scraper do?

Systembolaget Scraper reads Systembolaget's own product search and returns, for each product, the name, producer and supplier, price in SEK, volume, alcohol percentage, country and region, category, stock status, taste description and serving suggestion, organic/vegan/new-arrival flags, and an image URL. Choose a category (wine, beer, spirits, cider, alcohol-free) or give a search term, and it paginates automatically up to the limit you set.

### Why use Systembolaget Scraper?

- Covers Systembolaget, Sweden's sole legal retailer for wine, beer and spirits over 3.5% - a uniquely important and frequently-requested data source.
- Real-time price in SEK, volume and alcohol percentage per product.
- Taste profile and serving suggestions included, not just price.
- Organic, vegan and new-arrival flags for filtering.
- No account or API key.

### What makes this different

Systembolaget is a government monopoly with no official public product API. This Actor reads the same product search Systembolaget's own website uses, returning structured data (price, taste profile, flags) that's otherwise only available by browsing the site manually.

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

- **Price trackers:** Monitor Systembolaget prices across categories over time.
- **Drink and recipe apps:** Match wines or spirits to recipes using taste profile and country data.
- **Retailers and importers:** Track competitor assortment and pricing at the state monopoly.
- **Market researchers:** Study Swedish alcohol pricing, origin and category trends.

### How it works

1. **Your input** — choose a category or enter a search term, plus a max results count
2. **The Actor collects it** — the Actor calls Systembolaget's own product search and paginates automatically
3. **Your output** — you get one row per product, with price, taste profile and stock status

}
```

### Usage Examples

#### Browse a category

```json
{
  "category": "Vin",
  "maxItems": 30
}
```

#### Search by term

```json
{
  "search": "barolo",
  "maxItems": 20
}
```

### Tips for Best Results

- Use a search term for a specific producer or wine style rather than browsing a whole category.
- Combine country and subCategory to build a focused origin-and-style filter.
- Default is 5 results for a fast test. Set the max to 0 to return everything available.

### Known Limitations

- Store-specific physical stock is not included - inStock reflects general availability in the assortment.
- Age-restricted purchase flows and delivery options are not part of this dataset.

### 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 Systembolaget account?

No. The Actor reads Systembolaget's public product search and needs no account or key.

#### Does the price change by location?

No - Systembolaget has a single national price list, so priceSek is consistent across Sweden.

#### Can I search by producer or grape?

Yes - set Search term to a producer, grape or product name instead of choosing a category.

#### 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.

### Enterprise and custom work

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).
