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 ## Forever21 Product Scraper Extract Forever21 product data from collection pages, product pages, search URLs, or keywords. Collect product titles, prices, variants, availability, images, tags, descriptions, and source URLs for catalog monitoring, ecommerce research, and price analysis. ### Features - **Collection scraping** - Collect products from Forever21 collection URLs such as `/collections/all`. - **Product URL support** - Extract a single product with full variant and image data. - **Keyword search** - Gather products from a keyword when you do not have a URL, using the same full product data shape for every saved record. - **Pagination control** - Set result and page limits for quick tests or larger catalog runs. - **Clean dataset output** - Empty and always-null values are removed from saved records. --- ### Use Cases #### Price Monitoring Track Forever21 prices, compare-at prices, and availability across product variants. Use repeated runs to spot markdowns, new promotions, and sold-out items. #### Product Research Build a structured product catalog for analysis. Review titles, categories, tags, images, descriptions, colors, sizes, and variant counts. #### Ecommerce Benchmarking Compare product assortments, price ranges, and category coverage against other fashion retailers. Export the dataset for dashboards or internal reporting. #### Inventory Checks Monitor whether products have available variants. This helps identify fast-moving items and out-of-stock patterns. --- ### Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | |-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------| | `startUrl` | String | No | `https://www.forever21.com/collections/all` | Forever21 collection, product, search, or products JSON URL. | | `keyword` | String | No | `dress` | Search keyword used when URL is empty. Keyword mode scans paginated product data until the result or page limit is reached. | | `results_wanted` | Integer | No | `20` | Maximum number of products to save. | | `max_pages` | Integer | No | `3` | Maximum number of collection pages to request. | | `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Apify Proxy disabled | Optional proxy settings for larger runs. | --- ### Output Data Each product can include: | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `product_id` | Integer | Forever21 product identifier. | | `title` | String | Product title. | | `handle` | String | Product handle. | | `url` | String | Product page URL. | | `vendor` | String | Product vendor. | | `product_type` | String | Product category or type. | | `tags` | Array | Product tags. | | `available` | Boolean | Whether at least one variant is available. | | `price` | Number | Current product price or lowest variant price. | | `price_min` | Number | Lowest variant price. | | `price_max` | Number | Highest variant price. | | `compare_at_price_min` | Number | Lowest original price when available. | | `compare_at_price_max` | Number | Highest original price when available. | | `primary_image` | String | Main product image URL. | | `images` | Array | Product image URLs. | | `options` | Array | Product option names and values. | | `variants` | Array | Variant IDs, SKUs, sizes, colors, prices, and availability. | | `description_text` | String | Clean product description. | | `source_url` | String | URL or keyword source used for extraction. | --- ### Usage Examples #### Collection URL ```json { "startUrl": "https://www.forever21.com/collections/all", "results_wanted": 50, "max_pages": 2 } ```` #### Single Product URL ```json { "startUrl": "https://www.forever21.com/products/01287808", "results_wanted": 1 } ``` #### Keyword Search ```json { "keyword": "dress", "results_wanted": 200, "max_pages": 10 } ``` *** ### Sample Output ```json { "product_id": 8001079083042, "title": "Poplin Babydoll Mini Dress", "handle": "01287808", "url": "https://www.forever21.com/products/01287808", "vendor": "Forever 21", "product_type": "Dresses", "tags": ["apparel", "dress", "f21", "mini", "women"], "available": true, "price": 21.99, "price_min": 21.99, "price_max": 21.99, "primary_image": "https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0702/7847/9906/files/Large-01287808-01-2_side.jpg", "variants_count": 5, "description_text": "Details A poplin mini dress featuring a square-cut neckline and back...", "source_url": "keyword:dress" } ``` *** ### Tips for Best Results #### Start Small - Use `results_wanted` around `20` for test runs. - Increase limits after checking the dataset shape. #### Use Specific URLs - Collection URLs are best for larger product exports. - Product URLs are best for detail checks on one item. - Keyword mode is best for quick product discovery. #### Proxy Configuration - Use residential proxies for large recurring runs. - Keep page limits reasonable to avoid unnecessary requests. *** ### Integrations Connect your data with: - **Google Sheets** - Review product lists and prices. - **Airtable** - Build a searchable product catalog. - **Webhooks** - Send fresh product records to your systems. - **Make** - Automate reporting and alerts. - **Zapier** - Trigger workflows from completed runs. #### Export Formats - **JSON** - For applications and APIs. - **CSV** - For spreadsheet analysis. - **Excel** - For business reporting. - **XML** - For system imports. *** ### Frequently Asked Questions #### Can I scrape a Forever21 collection URL? Yes. Provide a collection URL such as `https://www.forever21.com/collections/all` and set your result limit. #### Can I scrape one product only? Yes. Provide a Forever21 product URL and set `results_wanted` to `1`. #### Can I search by keyword? Yes. Leave `startUrl` empty and provide a keyword such as `dress`, `jeans`, or `jacket`. Keyword mode can collect beyond the first 10 suggestions by scanning product pages up to your `max_pages` value. #### Why do some fields not appear in every item? Fields are included only when Forever21 provides a value. Empty and null values are removed from the dataset. #### How many products can I collect? Collection URLs support pagination. The final count depends on your `results_wanted`, `max_pages`, and the number of products available in the source collection. *** ### Support For issues or feature requests, contact support through the Apify Console. #### Resources - [Apify Documentation](https://docs.apify.com/) - [API Reference](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) - [Scheduling Runs](https://docs.apify.com/schedules) *** ### Legal Notice This actor is designed for legitimate data collection purposes.
