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.

Woot.com is a leading flash-sale and deals marketplace owned by Amazon, specializing in electronics, home goods, apparel, and various other products at deeply discounted prices. The platform rotates daily deals, featured products, and category-specific sales, making it a goldmine for bargain hunters and data analysts alike. However, manually tracking products across Woot's search pages and monitoring deal status is laborious — the **Woot.com Product Search Scraper** automates this workflow, delivering structured product and deal data in seconds. *** ### Overview The **Woot Product Search Scraper** extracts comprehensive product and deal information from Woot.com search and category pages, converting unstructured listings into clean, machine-readable records. It is ideal for: - **Deal aggregators** building real-time deal feeds and price comparison sites - **E-commerce researchers** analyzing Woot's product catalog and pricing trends - **Price monitors** tracking deal status, availability, and featured placement - **Marketplace analysts** studying flash-sale dynamics and inventory turnover - **Inventory managers** monitoring sold-out indicators and restocking patterns Key advantages include flexible pagination support, configurable item limits, and fault tolerance through `ignore_url_failures` for reliable bulk data collection. *** ### Input Format The scraper accepts a JSON configuration object to control data collection: ```json { "urls": [ "https://www.woot.com/alldeals?ref=w_ngh_et_1&page=2" ], "max_items_per_url": 200, "ignore_url_failures": true } ``` | Parameter | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `urls` | Array | Direct links to Woot product list pages (e.g., search results, category pages, or paginated deal lists). Supports multiple URLs for batch scraping. | | `max_items_per_url` | Integer | Maximum number of products to extract per URL (e.g., `200`). Useful for controlling data volume and scraping costs. | | `ignore_url_failures` | Boolean | If `true`, the scraper continues running even if individual URLs fail. Recommended for robust, uninterrupted bulk operations. | **Example usage:** - Single URL: Scrape page 2 of all deals - Multiple URLs: Mix category pages (`/deals/electronics`) with search results - Pagination: Include URLs with different page numbers to collect sequential results > **Tip:** Start with `max_items_per_url: 100` for testing, then increase to `200` for production runs to balance speed and data completeness. *** ### Output Format **Sample output record:** ```json { "id": "94754af7-041e-49af-a3ca-12275ab28a3a", "is_app_featured": false, "is_featured": false, "sold_out": false, "title": "(4 PACK) Energizer 2032 Batteries -

Adjust `max_items_per_url` based on your data needs (default: 100, max recommended: 200). 3. **Set failure handling** — Enable `ignore_url_failures: true` for large batches to avoid interruptions from occasional page timeouts. 4. **Execute the scrape** — Start the actor and monitor progress in the run log. 5. **Download results** — Export data as JSON, CSV, or Excel for analysis, integration, or database import. **Best practices:** - Test with a single URL and small `max_items_per_url` (50) before running large batches. - Stagger requests across different times of day to avoid rate-limiting. - Use paginated URLs to systematically collect entire categories. *** ### Use Cases & Business Value - **Deal aggregation:** Build a unified feed combining Woot deals with other flash-sale sites for maximum reach - **Price intelligence:** Track Woot's pricing strategies and compare against competitor discounts - **Inventory analysis:** Monitor sold-out rates to identify trending, high-demand products - **Mobile optimization:** Segment products by `Is App Featured` to understand Woot's app-first strategy - **Historical tracking:** Collect deal data over time to study seasonality and promotional patterns The **Woot Product Search Scraper** eliminates manual browsing and copy-paste work, enabling data-driven decisions around deal sourcing, price benchmarking, and market insights. *** ### Conclusion The **Woot.com Product Search Scraper** is an efficient, flexible solution for anyone needing structured product and deal data from Woot at scale.
