Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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.

# README

## Meat N' Bone Product Scraper

**Meat N' Bone** ([meatnbone.com](https://meatnbone.com)) is a premium online butcher. This Actor scrapes its full catalog — **wagyu & premium beef, seafood, pork and poultry** — into clean, structured data: prices, discount/old prices, per-unit prices, variants, categories, images and descriptions. Run it on the [Apify platform](https://apify.com) to get API access, scheduling, integrations, proxy rotation and run monitoring out of the box.

Try it by pasting a category/collection URL from meatnbone.com into **Start URLs** and clicking **Start** — or just run it with the defaults to crawl the whole store.

### Features

- ⚡ Fast async HTTP crawling (no headless browser)
- 🧊 Full product catalog: wagyu & premium beef, seafood, pork and poultry
- 💵 Current price, old/compare-at price and per-unit price (per lb / oz / serving)
- 🧬 Every product variant expanded into its own record
- 🗂️ Category breadcrumbs, images, specifications and descriptions
- 🔄 Persistent product cache — repeat runs refresh prices without re-crawling everything
- 🎯 `maxItems` control for quick test runs
- 📊 Export as JSON, CSV, Excel, or via API
- 🤖 Ready for AI, n8n, Zapier, Make and RAG workflows
- 🌐 Optional Apify Proxy support

### Why use Meat N' Bone Product Scraper?

Track competitor pricing, monitor discounts, build price-comparison datasets, feed product
catalogs into AI/RAG pipelines, or power market research on the premium meat & seafood
market. The Actor turns Meat N' Bone's storefront into a structured feed you can schedule and
integrate anywhere.

### How to use Meat N' Bone Product Scraper

1. Open the Actor and go to the **Input** tab.
2. (Optional) Paste one or more Meat N' Bone category/collection URLs into **Start URLs**. Leave empty to crawl the default catalog.
3. (Optional) Set **Max items** for a quick test (default `10`; set `0` for unlimited).
4. (Optional) Enable **Apify Proxy** (a US proxy is recommended).
5. Click **Start**. When the run finishes, open the **Dataset** tab to preview and export.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `startUrls` | array | Category / collection URLs to scrape. Empty = default catalog. |
| `maxItems` | integer | Stop after N products (default `10`, `0` = unlimited). |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Proxy settings (Apify Proxy recommended). |

### Output

Each dataset item is one product variant. Example:

```json
{
    "productUrl": "https://meatnbone.com/products/example#123",
    "listingUrl": "https://meatnbone.com/collections/beef",
    "sku": "123-456",
    "name": "Example Product - 16 oz",
    "brand": "Meat N' Bone",
    "category": ["Beef", "Steaks"],
    "price": 79.0,
    "oldPrice": 99.0,
    "unitPrice": 4.94,
    "unitType": "oz",
    "images": ["https://meatnbone.com/img/example.jpg"],
    "description": "Product description text..."
}
```

You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel.

### Data table

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `name` | Product / variant title |
| `brand` | Brand / vendor |
| `price` | Current selling price |
| `oldPrice` | Previous / compare-at price (or null) |
| `unitPrice` / `unitType` | Price per single unit and its unit (lb / oz / serving / pcs) |
| `category` | Category breadcrumb path |
| `productUrl` / `listingUrl` | Product and source listing URLs |
| `sku` | Product / variant identifier |
| `images` | Product image URLs |
| `specsTable` | Key/value specifications (when available) |
| `description` | Product description text |

### Pricing / Cost estimation

This Actor uses lightweight HTTP requests (no browser), so scraping Meat N' Bone is cheap. Cost
scales with the number of products and pages crawled; use **Max items** to cap a run. The
persistent cache makes repeat runs cheaper by refreshing known products' prices without
re-fetching every detail page.

### Free User Limitations

Runs started on a **free plan are hard-limited to 10 products per run**. Setting `maxItems` higher than 10 (or to `0` for unlimited) has no effect on a free plan — the run still stops at 10 items and a warning is written to the log. Values below 10 are respected as usual.

Upgrade to any **paid plan** to lift the cap: `maxItems` then controls the run exactly, and `0` scrapes every product found. No other feature, output field, or data source is restricted for free users.

### Tips or Advanced options

- Narrow **Start URLs** to specific categories to cut runtime and cost.
- Use **Max items** for a quick sample before a full crawl.
- Schedule the Actor to keep a price dataset fresh; the cache keeps repeat runs efficient.
- Enable a US Apify Proxy if you hit rate limiting.

### FAQ, disclaimers, and support

**Is scraping Meat N' Bone legal?** Scraping publicly available data is generally legal, but you
are responsible for complying with Meat N' Bone's Terms of Service and applicable laws. This
Actor collects only public product data — no personal information.

**Something looks off?** Sites change their markup; open an issue on the Actor's **Issues** tab
and we'll take a look. Custom scraping solutions are available on request.

```

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).
