## What's an Apify Actor?

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.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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.

# README

## Zoozavr Pet Store Scraper

Scrape the **Zoozavr** (`zoozavr.ru`) pet catalog by category and get clean, structured data for every product — **name, price, old price, discount, rating and review count** — ready for competitor price monitoring in the Russian pet market.

No login, no API key. Export to **JSON, CSV, Excel or Google Sheets**.

---

### What it extracts

For every product in a category it returns:

- 🏷️ **Name**
- 💰 **Price** (₽) and **old price** + **discount %** when the item is on sale
- ⭐ **Rating** and **review count**
- 🔗 **Product URL** and **product ID**
- 🗂️ The **category** it came from and a **scrapedAt** timestamp

Run it on a schedule and diff the results to watch competitor prices move.

---

### How to use it

1. Add one or more **category URLs** (or just their slugs):
   - Full URL: `https://zoozavr.ru/catalog/index/name/dry_food_for_cats/`
   - Slug only: `dry_food_for_cats`
   - Find slugs in the site menu, e.g. `cats`, `dogs`, `korm_dly_koshek`, `dry_food_for_cats`, `canned_dog_food`, `rodents`, `birds`, `fish_reptiles`, `vetapteka`.
2. Set **max pages per category** (36 products per page) and an optional total **max items** cap.
3. Run it, then download or pull the results via API.

---

### ⚠️ Proxy: RU residential required

Zoozavr **blocks datacenter IPs** (it returns an "access restricted" page to them). This actor therefore defaults to **Apify Residential proxy from a Russian IP**, which works reliably. You can also plug in **your own RU residential/mobile proxies** in the proxy field.

Because residential traffic is metered, large catalog sweeps use more proxy data than a typical datacenter scraper — scope your categories and page limits to what you need.

---

### Input parameters

| Parameter | Type | Description | Default |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `categoryUrls` | array | Category page URLs or slugs to scrape | one example category |
| `maxPagesPerCategory` | integer | Result pages per category (36 items each); 0 = until the category ends | 10 |
| `maxItems` | integer | Stop after this many products in total (0 = unlimited) | 0 |
| `monitorMode` | boolean | Compare this run to the previous one (same categories) and tag price changes — see below | false |
| `onlyChanges` | boolean | With monitor mode on, return only the products that changed | false |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Proxy — defaults to Apify Residential, country RU | RU residential |

---

### Output fields

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `store` | Always `"zoozavr"`. |
| `id` | Zoozavr product ID. |
| `name` | Product name (includes the brand). |
| `price` | Current price, ₽. |
| `oldPrice` | Pre-discount price, ₽, when on sale (else `null`). |
| `discountPct` | Discount percentage when on sale (else `null`). |
| `currency` | Always `"RUB"`. |
| `rating` | Average product rating (else `null`). |
| `reviewsCount` | Number of reviews (else `null`). |
| `url` | Direct link to the product page. |
| `categoryUrl` | The category the product was scraped from. |
| `scrapedAt` | Timestamp of the run. |

---

### Price monitor (track changes over time)

Turn on **`monitorMode`** and run it on a schedule: each run is compared to the previous
one (same categories), so you see **what actually changed** instead of a fresh dump every
time. Each row gains:

- `changeType` — `new`, `price_up`, `price_down` or `unchanged`
- `previousPrice` — the price at the last run (`null` for new products)
- `firstSeenAt` / `lastConfirmedAt` — data-freshness stamps (tell fresh data from stale)
- `priceLow30` / `priceHigh30` — rolling 30-day low and high (spot fake discounts)

Add **`onlyChanges`** to output just the products that moved — a clean delta for alerts or
a dashboard. Off by default, so normal runs are unaffected.

---

### Notes

- Only public catalog data is collected. Respect Zoozavr's Terms of Service and your local regulations.
- Stock/quantity is not exposed in the catalog listing, so it is not included.

# Actor input Schema

## `categoryUrls` (type: `array`):

Zoozavr category pages to scrape. Paste full URLs like https://zoozavr.ru/catalog/index/name/dry_food_for_cats/ or just the slug (dry_food_for_cats). Find slugs in the site menu: cats, dogs, korm_dly_koshek, dry_food_for_cats, canned_dog_food, rodents, birds, fish_reptiles, vetapteka, etc.
## `maxPagesPerCategory` (type: `integer`):

How many result pages (36 products each) to fetch per category. 0 = until the category ends.
## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many products in total (0 = unlimited).
## `monitorMode` (type: `boolean`):

Compare this run to the previous one (same categories) and tag each product with what changed: changeType (new / price_up / price_down / unchanged), previousPrice, firstSeenAt / lastConfirmedAt (data-freshness stamps), and priceLow30 / priceHigh30 (rolling 30-day low & high). Turns the scraper into a price monitor you run on a schedule. Off by default — normal runs are unaffected.
## `onlyChanges` (type: `boolean`):

With monitor mode on, output only the products whose price changed (or that are new) since the last run — a clean delta for alerts or a dashboard.
## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Zoozavr blocks datacenter IPs, so RESIDENTIAL proxy from a Russian IP is required (this is the default). You can also plug in your own RU residential/mobile proxies here.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "categoryUrls": [
    "https://zoozavr.ru/catalog/index/name/dry_food_for_cats/"
  ],
  "maxPagesPerCategory": 10,
  "maxItems": 0,
  "monitorMode": false,
  "onlyChanges": false,
