## 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.

## Ankorstore Product Search Scraper: Extract Wholesale Product Data at Scale

***

### What Is Ankorstore?

Ankorstore is Europe's leading B2B marketplace connecting independent retailers with thousands of brands and suppliers. It hosts millions of product listings across categories like beauty, wellness, home, fashion, and more. Retailers use it to discover inventory, compare wholesale prices, and manage orders. Manually collecting product data is impractical — the **Ankorstore Product Search Scraper** automates this, delivering rich product records with pricing, variants, images, and stock status in structured format.

***

### Overview

The **Ankorstore Product Search Scraper** extracts detailed product listings from Ankorstore category and search pages, converting them into clean, machine-readable records. It is built for:

- **Retailers** analyzing supplier inventories and pricing strategies
- **Marketplace aggregators** feeding product data into their platforms
- **Market researchers** studying wholesale trends and brand distribution
- **Price comparison tools** tracking wholesale cost fluctuations
- **E-commerce platforms** syncing supplier catalogs

Key strengths include support for paginated search results, flexible item limits per URL, and robust error handling that continues scraping even when individual URLs fail.

***

### Input Format

The scraper accepts a JSON configuration with the following parameters:

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.ankorstore.com/shop/beauty-wellness-1279/bath-shower-1280?p=2"
  ],
  "ignore_url_failures": true,
  "max_items_per_url": 200
}
```

| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `urls` | Array | Product list or category page URLs from Ankorstore. Supports paginated results (e.g., `?p=2`, `?p=3`). Add multiple URLs to scrape different categories. |
| `max_items_per_url` | Integer | Maximum products to extract per URL. Default: `500`. Use `200` for focused runs. |
| `ignore_url_failures` | Boolean | If `true`, scraper continues if a URL fails. Recommended for bulk operations. |

> **Tip:** Chain multiple category URLs to gather comparative data across departments (beauty, home, fashion, etc.).

### How to Use

1. **Identify URLs** — Navigate to Ankorstore category or search pages (e.g., Beauty > Bath & Shower). Copy the URL including any page parameters (`?p=1`, `?p=2`, etc.).

2. **Prepare input** — Add URLs to the `urls` array. If scraping multiple pages of the same category, include each page URL separately:

```json
   "urls": [
     "https://www.ankorstore.com/shop/beauty-wellness-1279/bath-shower-1280?p=1",
     "https://www.ankorstore.com/shop/beauty-wellness-1279/bath-shower-1280?p=2"
   ]
```

3. **Configure limits** — Set `max_items_per_url` based on your needs (e.g., `200` for focused data, `500` for comprehensive catalogs).

4. **Enable resilience** — Set `ignore_url_failures: true` to skip problematic pages without interrupting the run.

5. **Execute & export** — Run the scraper and download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

**Best practices:**

- Scrape during off-peak hours to minimize load on Ankorstore servers.
- Use category URLs for themed datasets (e.g., "organic beauty" across multiple suppliers).
- Combine with price monitoring tools to track wholesale margin trends over time.

***

### Use Cases & Business Value

- **Price intelligence:** Monitor wholesale pricing across suppliers and spot arbitrage opportunities
- **Inventory syncing:** Auto-update retail catalogs with live Ankorstore products and availability
- **Competitive analysis:** Compare how different brands position products and pricing in wholesale channels
