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 ## Currys Product Search Scraper: Extract Electronics Pricing & Inventory Data *** ### What Is Currys?

You can add multiple URLs. 3. **Set scrape limits** — Adjust `max_items_per_url` based on category size (200 for smaller categories, 500 for large ones). 4. **Enable resilience** — Set `ignore_url_failures: true` to ensure the run completes even if one page fails. 5. **Execute & export** — Run the scraper and download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel. **Tips & troubleshooting:** - Use category pages rather than search result URLs for more consistent data. - If a page returns fewer items than expected, Currys may have fewer products or pagination limits in place. - Clear browser cache if URLs appear to return outdated pricing or availability. *** ### Use Cases & Business Value - **Price monitoring dashboards:** Track Currys laptop, TV, and smartphone prices in real-time against competitor data - **Inventory alerts:** Detect stock changes and alert sales teams when key items become available or run out - **Competitive analysis:** Compare Currys product positioning, care plans, and payment options against John Lewis, Amazon UK, etc. - **Market research:** Analyze brand distribution, pricing trends, and adoption metrics across electronics categories - **Sales intelligence:** Feed product data into CRM or business intelligence tools for strategic decision-making The Currys Product Search Scraper eliminates manual data collection, providing fresh, actionable market intelligence that drives pricing strategies, inventory management, and competitive positioning. *** ### Conclusion The **Currys Product Search Scraper** is an essential tool for retailers, analysts, and researchers who need real-time product and pricing data from the UK's leading electronics retailer.

Start scraping today and unlock insights that manual browsing cannot provide. # Actor input Schema ## `urls` (type: `array`): Add the URLs of the product list 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. ## `max_items_per_url` (type: `integer`): The maximum number of items to scrape per URL. ## Actor input object example ```json { "urls": [ "https://www.currys.co.uk/computing/laptops/laptops" ], "ignore_url_failures": true, "max_items_per_url": 100 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "urls": [ "https://www.currys.co.uk/computing/laptops/laptops" ], "ignore_url_failures": true, "max_items_per_url": 100 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("soft_alexist/currys-product-search-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
