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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 ## Atico Export Laboratory Equipment Scraper Collect public laboratory, scientific, civil-engineering, and educational-equipment catalog data from [Atico Export](https://www.aticoexport.com/). This actor is intended for procurement research, supplier discovery, catalog comparison, and building internal equipment databases. It does not submit enquiry forms, obtain quotes, log into any service, or retrieve private data. ### What it collects Each dataset item represents one unique public product page and includes: - Product name, product URL, and published product code - Short description and optional full specification text - Category labels and main public image URL - Source URL and collection timestamp Atico's product pages commonly contain technical details such as material, voltage, frequency, dimensions, or model number. Those fields vary by product, so the actor preserves the published specification text rather than inventing a fixed technical schema. ### Input `startUrls` accepts only public `www.aticoexport.com` product or category URLs. Leave it empty to use the Civil Engineering Laboratory Equipment category prefill. ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.aticoexport.com/product_category/civil-engineering-instruments/" } ], "maxResults": 100, "includeSpecifications": true, "maxConcurrency": 3 } ```` Use individual `/product/` URLs when you need selected items, or `/product_category/` URLs when you need a category. `maxResults` is a hard cap over all provided URLs. Keep concurrency low to be considerate of the source website. ### Output example ```json { "product_name": "Electrical Sterilizer (SS) with Grating & Lid", "product_url": "https://www.aticoexport.com/product/electrical-sterilizer-ss-with-grating-lid/", "product_code": "AELB110", "description": "We are the leading manufacturer and supplier of Electrical Sterilizer (SS) with Grating & Lid.", "specifications": "Construction of Stainless steel; Power source 220v/50hz; Material: Stainless Steel", "categories": ["Biology Lab Equipment Manufacturers, Supplier & Exporters in India"], "image_url": "https://www.aticoexport.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/1111-300x210.jpg", "source_url": "https://www.aticoexport.com/product/electrical-sterilizer-ss-with-grating-lid/", "scraped_at": "2026-07-22T12:00:00.000Z" } ``` ### Pricing This actor uses Pay Per Event. One `product-result` event is charged only after a unique product has been saved to the default dataset. The configured price is **$0.01 per product**; use `maxResults` to set an upper bound on result-event charges. ### API usage Run with the Apify API or CLI and read the default dataset for results. The `OUTPUT` key in the default key-value store provides the final status, product count, estimated result-event total, and any crawl warnings. ### Limits and responsible use Only scrape public pages and comply with the source website's terms and applicable law. This actor intentionally stays within the Atico Export catalog domain. If a page is unavailable or its markup changes, the run succeeds with a truthful warning whenever possible, preserving products already collected. # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Use this when scraping a specific public Atico category or product. Leave empty to scrape the Civil Engineering catalog prefill. URLs must be on www.aticoexport.com and begin /product\_category/ or /product/. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Use this to cap unique products saved across all supplied URLs. Defaults to 100; range 1–5,000. Result-event charges cannot exceed maxResults × $0.01. ## `includeSpecifications` (type: `boolean`): Use this when the product-page description and technical specifications are needed. Defaults to true; turn it off for smaller records. ## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`): Use this to limit simultaneous public-page requests. Defaults to 3; range 1–10. Lower values are gentler on the source website. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.aticoexport.com/product_category/civil-engineering-instruments/" } ], "maxResults": 25, "includeSpecifications": true, "maxConcurrency": 3 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `products` (type: `string`): Structured laboratory equipment records. ## `summary` (type: `string`): Product count, event-charge count and warnings. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.aticoexport.com/product_category/civil-engineering-instruments/" } ], "maxResults": 25, "includeSpecifications": true, "maxConcurrency": 3 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("muhammadafzal/atico-export-laboratory-equipment-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
