The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have. Learn more: https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/running/actors-in-store#pay-per-usage ## 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. 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 ## B\&H Photo Video Product Scraper: Extract Electronics Data at Scale *** ### What Is B\&H Photo Video? B\&H Photo Video is a major U.S.-based electronics retailer offering cameras, lenses, computers, audio equipment, and thousands of other tech products. Their website (bhphotovideo.com) hosts millions of product listings with detailed specifications, pricing, stock status, and customer reviews. Manual data collection from individual product pages is labor-intensive — the **B\&H Photo Video Product Scraper** automates this process, delivering rich, structured product data suitable for price tracking, market research, and e-commerce integrations. *** ### Overview The **B\&H Photo Video Product Scraper** extracts comprehensive product detail data from individual B\&H product pages, transforming complex HTML layouts into clean, structured records. It is designed for: - **Price monitoring tools** tracking competitor pricing and promotions - **E-commerce aggregators** building multi-retailer product databases - **Market researchers** analyzing electronics pricing trends - **Resellers and dropshippers** monitoring inventory and profitability - **Data analysts** conducting competitive landscape studies Key strengths include high-fidelity data extraction with 40+ fields per product, support for bulk URL processing, and error resilience via `ignore_url_failures`. *** ### Input Format The scraper accepts a JSON configuration object specifying which products to scrape: ```json { "urls": [ "https://www.bhphotovideo.com/iphone-12-256gb-certified-pre-owned-best-quality-nova-il-case/PLID96354673", "https://www.bhphotovideo.com/iphone-12-pro-max-256gb-certified-pre-owned-better-quality-nova-il-case/PLID96355433" ], "max_items_per_url": 200, "ignore_url_failures": true } ``` | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `urls` | Array | Direct links to B\&H Photo Video product detail pages. Copy URLs from the product page directly (e.g., `https://www.bhphotovideo.com/[product-name]/PLID[product-id]`). | | `max_items_per_url` | Number | Maximum records extracted per URL. Set to `200` for full data extraction (or lower to test). | | `ignore_url_failures` | Boolean | If `true`, the scraper continues running if individual URLs fail to load (recommended for bulk runs). If `false`, the entire job stops on first failure. | **Pro tip:** Use product links directly from your browser's address bar or from B\&H's category pages to ensure accuracy. *** ### Output Format **Sample output** ```json { "item_key": { "sku_no": 1748813, "item_source": "REG" }, "articles": [], "core": { "short_description": "Canon EOS R8 Mirrorless Camera", "item_code": "CAER8",

Copy the full product URL from your browser's address bar (must include the PLID parameter). 2. **Prepare your list** — Add URLs to the `urls` array. You can add single URLs or batch-paste multiple URLs using the bulk edit feature. 3. **Configure settings** — Set `max_items_per_url` to `200` for complete data extraction, or lower for a preview run. Set `ignore_url_failures: true` for robust bulk scraping. 4. **Start the scraper** — Run the actor and monitor the log for progress. The scraper will fetch data from each URL sequentially. 5. **Export results** — Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel for analysis or integration into other systems. **Best practices:** - Test with 2–3 product URLs first to verify output quality - Use `ignore_url_failures: true` for runs with 20+ URLs to avoid stalling - Store results in a database or data warehouse for ongoing analysis - Respect B\&H's Terms of Service regarding data usage and scraping frequency *** ### Real-World Applications - **Price tracking:** Monitor competitor pricing on identical or similar products - **Market research:** Analyze product availability, promotions, and review sentiment across categories - **E-commerce aggregation:** Feed B\&H data into multi-channel product feeds or price comparison sites - **Inventory monitoring:** Track stock levels for high-demand items or discontinued products - **Reseller analytics:** Identify high-margin products and pricing trends for resale - **Promotion tracking:** Capture seasonal sales, bundle offers, and financing promotions The detailed output (40+ fields per product) enables sophisticated analysis: from simple price comparisons to complex trend modeling using reviews, specifications, and stock data. *** ### Conclusion The **B\&H Photo Video Product Scraper** transforms unstructured product listings into machine-readable data. With 40+ output fields covering pricing, specifications, media, inventory, and reviews, it streamlines data collection and unlocks insights for competitive analysis, market research, and e-commerce operations. # Actor input Schema ## `urls` (type: `array`): Add the URLs of the Specific product urls you want to scrape. You can paste URLs one by one, or use the Bulk edit section to add a prepared list. ## `ignore_url_failures` (type: `boolean`): If true, the scraper will continue running even if some URLs fail to be scraped. ## Actor input object example ```json { "urls": [ "https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1748813-REG/canon_eos_r8_mirrorless_camera.html", "https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1900551-REG/fujifilm_16949882_x_e5_mirrorless_camera_with.html", "https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1748813-REG/canon_eos_r8_mirrorless_camera.html", "https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1933661-REG/canon_powershot_elph_360_camera.html", "https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1899782-REG/fujifilm_16953962_x_m5_body_silver_with.html" ], "ignore_url_failures": true } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
