## 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.

## Iceland.co.uk Product Scraper: Extract Frozen Food Data at Scale

***

### What Is Iceland.co.uk?

Iceland is a leading UK frozen food retailer offering thousands of products across frozen meals, vegetables, seafood, desserts, and more. With regular price updates, promotional campaigns, and seasonal offerings, the platform contains valuable data for retailers, researchers, and market analysts. Manually harvesting product details is impractical — the **Iceland.co.uk Product Scraper** automates collection, turning product pages into structured, analysis-ready datasets.

***

### Overview

The **Iceland Product Scraper** extracts comprehensive product information from Iceland's frozen food catalog, returning 76+ fields per item. It's built for:

- **Price monitoring services** tracking frozen food costs across retailers
- **Market researchers** analyzing frozen food trends and product positioning
- **Aggregator platforms** building competitive product databases
- **E-commerce analysts** benchmarking Iceland's assortment and pricing strategy

The scraper supports paginated product listings, respects rate limits, and can gracefully skip failed pages without interrupting the run.

***

### Input Format

The scraper accepts a configuration specifying target pages and collection limits:

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.iceland.co.uk/frozen?page=2"
  ],
  "max_items_per_url": 200,
  "ignore_url_failures": true
}
```

| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `urls` | array | Product listing page URLs from Iceland.co.uk (supports category, search, or filtered pages) |
| `max_items_per_url` | integer | Maximum products extracted per page (e.g., `200`) — adjust for larger or smaller runs |
| `ignore_url_failures` | boolean | If `true`, continues scraping if a page fails; if `false`, stops on first error |

> **Best practice:** Start with `max_items_per_url: 50` to test, then scale up for production runs.

***

### How to Use

1. **Gather URLs** — Navigate to Iceland.co.uk, apply filters (category, price range, dietary), and copy the product listing URL. Example: `https://www.iceland.co.uk/frozen?page=2`
2. **Configure input** — Paste URLs into the `urls` array and set `max_items_per_url`. Start with 50–100 for testing.
3. **Run the scraper** — Trigger the actor; it will fetch product pages and extract all 76+ fields per item.
4. **Monitor progress** — Check the run log for any URL failures (if `ignore_url_failures` is `true`, failed pages are logged but don't stop the run).
5. **Export results** — Download output as JSON, CSV, or Excel for analysis in spreadsheets or databases.

**Tips:**

- Use category-filtered URLs (e.g., `?category=frozen-vegetables`) to collect specific product segments.
- For large runs, set `ignore_url_failures: true` to avoid interruptions.
- Respect Iceland's `robots.txt` and rate limits; space requests appropriately.

***

### Use Cases & Benefits

- **Product assortment analysis:** Benchmark Iceland's product range against competitors
- **Promotion tracking:** Capture bundle deals and flash pricing for market research

- **Content aggregation:** Feed product data into recipe, meal-prep, or nutrition apps

The **Iceland.co.uk Product Scraper** saves weeks of manual data entry, delivering machine-ready product records that plug directly into analytics, BI tools, or e-commerce systems.

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,soft_alexist/iceland-product-search-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
