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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ### Jarir.com Product Scraper Scrapes product listings and detail pages from Jarir.com — Saudi Arabia's largest electronics and office supplies retailer — and returns structured JSON with prices, images, SKU, specifications, and stock status. No account or cookies required. - No Jarir.com account or cookies needed - Supports search queries (e.g., "iPhone") and direct category/search URLs - Extracts full product specs, both original and discounted prices - Captures all product images (main + gallery) - Handles infinite-scroll listing pages automatically - Exports as JSON, CSV, or Excel #### What data does it extract? Each result contains: **Product info:** `productName`, `productUrl`, `brand`, `sku`, `category` **Pricing:** `originalPrice`, `discountedPrice` **Media:** `mainImageUrl`, `additionalImages` (array of all gallery images) **Availability:** `stockAvailability` **Specs:** `specifications` (key-value object with all table rows, e.g., RAM, Storage, Color) **Meta:** `extractionDate` All data is exported as JSON, CSV, or Excel via Apify's dataset export. #### Use cases - **Price monitoring:** Track price drops and discount events on electronics across Jarir.com - **Market research:** Analyze product availability, brand distribution, and pricing in the Saudi retail market - **Competitor benchmarking:** Compare product specs and pricing for electronics importers or distributors - **Inventory enrichment:** Enrich internal product catalogs with SKUs, images, and specifications from Jarir - **E-commerce comparison:** Build comparison tools for Saudi consumers across categories (phones, laptops, TVs) - **Lead generation:** Identify brand gaps or out-of-stock products to pitch distributors or suppliers #### How to use 1. Click **Try for free** above 2. In the **Input** tab, either: - Enter a **Search Query** (e.g., `Samsung Galaxy`) — the Actor builds the search URL automatically - Or paste one or more Jarir.com **Start URLs** (search result or category pages) 3. Optionally set **Max Requests Per Crawl** to limit the run size (default: 500) 4. Click **Start** and wait for the run to complete (a typical search result page with 50 products takes 3–6 minutes) 5. Download your results as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the **Output** tab #### Input parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---|---| | `startUrls` | Array of URLs | No | — | Jarir.com search result or category page URLs. Takes priority over `searchQuery` if both are provided. Example: `https://www.jarir.com/sa-en/catalogsearch/result?search=Xiaomi` | | `searchQuery` | String | No | — | Search keyword to scrape (e.g., `iPhone`, `Samsung TV`). The Actor constructs the Jarir.com search URL. Ignored if `startUrls` are set. | | `maxRequestsPerCrawl` | Integer | No | `500` | Maximum number of pages the Actor will crawl. Set to `0` for unlimited. | | `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | `{ useApifyProxy: false }` | Proxy settings. Apify residential proxies are recommended for large runs to avoid IP blocks. | #### Output example ```json { "productName": "Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G - 8GB RAM, 256GB - Black", "productUrl": "https://www.jarir.com/sa-en/xiaomi-redmi-note-13-pro-5g-mobile-8gb-256gb-black-1115459.html", "mainImageUrl": "https://www.jarir.com/media/catalog/product/1/1/1115459_1.jpg", "additionalImages": [ "https://www.jarir.com/media/catalog/product/1/1/1115459_1.jpg", "https://www.jarir.com/media/catalog/product/1/1/1115459_2.jpg" ], "originalPrice": "SAR 799.00", "discountedPrice": "SAR 649.00", "sku": "1115459", "brand": "Xiaomi", "category": "Home Electronics Mobiles & Tablets", "stockAvailability": "In Stock", "specifications": { "Brand": "Xiaomi", "SKU": "1115459", "RAM": "8 GB", "Storage": "256 GB", "Color": "Black", "Operating System": "Android", "Battery Capacity": "5000 mAh" }, "extractionDate": "2026-04-25T08:30:00.000Z" } ```` #### Pricing This Actor is **free to use** — you only pay for Apify platform compute time and proxy usage (if enabled). A typical run scraping 100 product detail pages costs approximately **$0.05–$0.15** in Apify platform credits depending on memory and proxy settings. New Apify accounts receive **$5 in free credits** — enough for hundreds of product scrapes. #### Technical notes - **No account needed:** The Actor does not require a Jarir.com login or session cookies - **Infinite scroll:** Listing pages are fully scrolled to load all products before enqueueing - **Anti-bot measures:** The Actor spoofs navigator properties and sets realistic browser headers to reduce detection - **Large runs:** For scraping 500+ products, consider enabling Apify Proxy (residential) in the proxy configuration to avoid IP rate limits - **Saudi Arabia locale:** The Actor targets the `sa-en` (Saudi Arabia, English) locale by default; Arabic locale URLs are not currently supported - **Spec availability:** Specifications may be partial for some product types — the Actor extracts whatever is present in the spec table #### Support Have questions or found a bug?
