## 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`).

![Argos Product Scraper — Scrape Argos UK Products, Prices, Ratings and Details by Search, Category or Product ID](https://i.postimg.cc/zvKX0srW/argos-banner.png)

## Argos Product Scraper

### What does Argos Product Scraper do?

**Argos Product Scraper** is an [Apify actor](https://apify.com/actors) that extracts product data from [Argos UK](https://www.argos.co.uk/). Give it **search terms**, **categories** or **product IDs**, and it returns every matching product — with **name, brand, price, was-price, discount, star rating, review count, EAN, images and delivery flags** — as structured data ready for analysis or integration.

No coding experience is needed. Enter a search term, click **Start**, and download the results in JSON, CSV, Excel, or other formats.

### Why scrape Argos product data?

Copying Argos prices and product details by hand doesn't scale. This actor automates Argos product extraction so you can:

- 💷 **Track prices and deals** — Capture current price, previous price and discount for any product, then [schedule recurring runs](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) to watch how they change
- 🗂️ **Scrape whole categories** — Paste a category and pull every product in it, page after page
- ⭐ **Analyse ratings and reviews** — Compare average star rating and review count across products and brands
- 📇 **Match products across retailers** — Use the EAN barcode to line Argos products up with other shops for price comparison
- 📊 **Feed data into dashboards** — Export structured product data to Google Sheets, Slack, or your own systems via [Apify integrations](https://apify.com/integrations)
- 🔗 **Build retail pipelines** — Use the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) to plug Argos product data into pricing, arbitrage, or catalogue tools

### What data can you extract from Argos?

For every product the scraper returns one structured item:

| Data Field | Description | Availability |
|---|---|---|
| **sku** | The Argos product ID | Always |
| **name**, **brand** | Product title and brand | Always |
| **price**, **wasPrice**, **onSale**, **offerText** | Current price, previous price, whether it is reduced, and the offer label | Always |
| **avgRating**, **reviewsCount** | Average star rating and number of reviews | Always |
| **deliverable**, **reservable**, **freeDelivery**, **deliveryPrice**, **collectable** | Delivery and Click & Collect flags | Always |
| **url** | Link to the product on Argos | Always |
| **ean** | Barcode (GTIN‑13) | With details |
| **description**, **images**, **breadcrumb** | Full description, image URLs and category path | With details |
| **currency**, **maximumQuantity**, **globallyOutOfStock**, **ageRestricted** | Extra product attributes | With details |

Search and category results return the core fields quickly. Turn on **Include full product details** to add EAN, description, images and the category breadcrumb (one extra request per product). Products requested by ID always return full details.

### Ready-to-Run Examples

- **[Scrape Argos Category Products](https://apify.com/muhammetakkurtt/argos-product-scraper/examples/scrape-argos-category-products)** — paste an Argos category URL or ID and scrape every product in it with prices, was-prices, ratings, reviews, and delivery flags.
- **[Fetch Argos Product Details by ID](https://apify.com/muhammetakkurtt/argos-product-scraper/examples/fetch-argos-product-details-by-id)** — fetch specific products by ID (SKU) and extract full details, price, was-price, rating, reviews, EAN barcode, images, and description.
- **[Scrape Argos Products with Full Details](https://apify.com/muhammetakkurtt/argos-product-scraper/examples/scrape-argos-products-with-full-details)** — search Argos and return full product detail: EAN barcode, description, images, and category breadcrumb, plus price, rating, and reviews.
- **[Track Argos Prices and Discounts](https://apify.com/muhammetakkurtt/argos-product-scraper/examples/track-argos-prices-and-discounts)** — monitor Argos prices and discounts on a schedule and capture current price, previous price, and offer text for any product search.

### How to scrape Argos products step by step

1. Add one or more **Search terms**, **Categories** (ID or Argos browse URL), or **Product IDs**.
2. Set **Maximum products**, and turn on **Include full product details** if you need EAN, description and images.
3. Click **Start**.
4. When the run finishes, download the products from the **Storage** tab as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML — or fetch them through the API.

#### Example input

```json
{
  "searchTerms": ["laptop", "air fryer"],
  "categories": ["https://www.argos.co.uk/browse/technology/televisions/c:33017148/"],
  "productIds": ["7942381"],
  "includeDetails": true,
  "maxItems": 500
}
```

#### Argos product input parameters

| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `searchTerms` | array | Keywords to search on Argos. Each is paged to the depth allowed by **Maximum products**. |
| `categories` | array | Category IDs or Argos browse URLs (e.g. `.../c:33017148/`) to list every product in. |
| `productIds` | array | Specific Argos SKUs or product URLs; always returned with full details. |
| `includeDetails` | boolean | Add EAN, description, images and breadcrumb to search/category results. Slower, costs more. |
| `maxItems` | integer | Stop after this many products. `0` collects everything. |

### Argos Product Scraper output example

```json
{
  "sku": "7942381",
  "name": "LEGO Speed Champions Back to the Future Time Machine 77256",
  "brand": "LEGO",
  "ean": "5702018068229",
  "url": "https://www.argos.co.uk/product/7942381",
  "price": 17.0,
  "wasPrice": 23.0,
  "currency": "GBP",

  "deliverable": true,
  "collectable": true,
  "freeDelivery": false,
  "deliveryPrice": 4.95,
  "source": "product"
}
```

The dataset opens in the **Products** view — SKU, name, brand, price, was-price, rating, reviews and link — and exports to JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML.

### Integrations and Argos product API

Send Argos product data wherever you work: **Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, Slack, Airbyte and more** via [Apify integrations](https://apify.com/integrations), or your own endpoint through webhooks. Every run can also be started and read through the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) — the **API** tab on this page shows ready-made requests for your account.

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("muhammetakkurtt/argos-product-scraper").call(run_input={
    "searchTerms": ["laptop"],
    "maxItems": 100,
})
for product in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(product["name"], product["price"], product["avgRating"])
```

### Frequently asked questions

#### Is it legal to scrape Argos?

The scraper collects product information that Argos publishes openly, without logging in. Use the data in line with Argos's terms and the laws that apply to you.

#### Can I scrape a whole Argos category?

Yes. Paste the category's Argos browse URL (or its ID) into **Categories** and the scraper pages through every product in it, up to **Maximum products**.

#### How do I get the barcode (EAN), description and images?

Turn on **Include full product details**, or pass the products in **Product IDs** — those always return the full record.

#### Why is a product missing a price or rating?

A few listings have no published price (for example, reserve-in-store only) or no reviews yet. Every product still carries its `sku`, `name` and the fields Argos does publish.

#### Does it check store stock by postcode?

This actor is for product data — prices, ratings and catalogue. For per-store Click & Collect stock and delivery by postcode, use the [Argos Stock & Availability Scraper](https://apify.com/muhammetakkurtt/argos-stock-availability-scraper).

#### How do I get support or report issues?

Open an issue on the actor's **Issues** tab with the run link and what you expected. Requests for new fields or filters are welcome there too.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "searchTerms": [
    "laptop"
  ]
}' |
apify call muhammetakkurtt/argos-product-scraper --silent --output-dataset

}
```

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).
