## 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.

### ❓ FAQ

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

No. The actor talks to Vans Brazil 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 www.vans.com.br's Terms and applicable law (e.g. GDPR/CCPA for personal data).

***

### 🛠️ How it works

The actor impersonates Vans Brazil 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 www.vans.com.br'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 Vans Brazil Catalogue doesn't expose them for a given record.

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).
