## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

***

### 🚀 How to scrape Crocs Catalogue (3 steps)

1. **Set your input** — provide `mode` or `market` (see the table below; defaults work out of the box).
2. **Pick options** — filters, a `proxyConfiguration`, and a `maxItems` cap.
3. **Run & export** — click **Start**, then download the dataset as JSON/CSV/Excel or fetch it via the API.

### ⚙️ Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `mode` | enum | `search` | 'Search' finds products by keyword. 'Category' browses a category. 'Category tree (free)' lists the categories you can browse — no per-row charge. — one of `search`, `category`, `categories` |

| `searchTerm` | string | `classic clog` | SEARCH MODE. A keyword, e.g. `classic clog`, `sandals`. |
| `category` | string | – | CATEGORY MODE. Pick a category from the Crocs US taxonomy (ids are shared across markets; the free 'Category tree' mode lists a specific market's own). |
| `maxItems` | integer | `100` | Cap the number of product rows (0 = all). |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify Proxy | Optional. The catalogue APIs are public; a proxy only helps with rate limits at scale. |

### 🔌 Use the Crocs Catalogue Scraper via API

Run it programmatically with the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2):

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/crocs-api-scraper/runs?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
  "mode": "search",
  "market": "us",
  "searchTerm": "classic clog",
  "maxItems": 100,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [

}'
```

Or with the Apify CLI: `apify call crocs-api-scraper -i input.json -o`.

### ❓ FAQ

**Do I need an account or API key for Crocs Catalogue?**

No. The actor talks to Crocs Catalogue's public/mobile API for you — you only need an Apify account.

**Do I need a proxy?**

A proxy is recommended for reliable runs; set `proxyConfiguration` (Residential is safest for geo-restricted or bot-protected sites).

**What export formats are supported?**

JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, JSONL, RSS, or live via the Apify API and dataset endpoints.

**Is scraping this legal?**

You are responsible for how you use the data. Scrape only public product data and comply with Crocs Catalogue's Terms and applicable law (e.g. GDPR/CCPA for personal data).

***

### 🛠️ How it works

The actor impersonates Crocs Catalogue's official app/site and calls its private API the same way the app does, then normalises each response into the flat record above. No browser, no HTML scraping — just clean, structured data.

***

### 📌 Good to know

- Scrape only public product data and respect Crocs Catalogue's Terms of Service and robots policy.
- For personal data, comply with GDPR/CCPA and applicable law — you are the data controller.
- Fields can be `null` when Crocs Catalogue doesn't expose them for a given record.

### Notes on the data

- **Prices and catalogue are per market.** The `market` you pick sets the storefront, language,
  currency and assortment — verify against that same market's site.
- **Per-size availability IS included** (turn on *Include per-size availability*). It comes from the
  SFCC `/product_search?expand=availability,variations` resource, which is not bot-gated, and gives
  an **orderable flag per size and per colour** — e.g. 16 size entries for a Classic Clog.
- **Stock COUNTS are not available.** The `/products/{id}` resource that carries quantities is
  Kasada-protected (`unverified-blocked-by-kasada` in the reversing report). So you get *can you buy
  this size right now*, not *how many are left*. `sizes` (always present) is the catalogue's size
  list; `size_availability` (detail mode) is the orderability.
- **Product URLs are absolute for the US storefront** and fall back to the API's relative path for
  markets whose web host has not been confirmed — no fabricated URLs.
- **Ground-truthed:** a US product's name and price were confirmed against the live crocs.com page
  (`Classic Clog`, $29.99).

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).
