## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## WooCommerce Products Catalog Scraper: prices, stock, categories

Product catalogue of any WooCommerce store from its public Store API, up to 200 stores a run and 5,000 products each: name, URL, SKU, price, sale price, currency, stock and on-sale flags, rating, categories, tags, brands, attributes, images and description. Robots-aware. Pay per product.

### Why this scraper

- **Only delivered results are charged.** Inputs that fail come back as clear error
  records at no cost.
- Straight from the store's own public Store API, 100 products per call, no browser, no key and no start fee. Measured on the platform: 80 products from two stores in 11 seconds for a hundredth of a cent. The store's exact product total comes from the API's own count header.
- One complete row per product: name, URL, SKU, type, price, regular and sale price in the store's currency (minor units correctly converted: 195 with two decimals is 1.95), price range for variable products, on-sale, in-stock and purchasable flags, stock text and low-stock count where shown, average rating and review count, categories, tags, brands, attributes with their values, variation count, image count and URLs, weight, and short and full description as plain text when asked.
- Robots-aware and merchant-only: each store's robots.txt is read first (measured: woocommerce.com itself closes the path and is skipped for free), and no reviewer or customer data is ever delivered.

### Who this is for

Paste store domains or any URL on the store in `stores` (up to 200 per run), set `maxProductsPerStore` (default 500, ceiling 5,000), switch `includeDescription` on when you want the text, and `onlyInStock` on to skip sold-out products without paying for them. Built for price and assortment monitoring of WooCommerce competitors, catalogue exports into feeds and marketplaces, and stock or discount tracking across many stores.

### Who this is not for

Only stores with the public Store API are covered (WooCommerce 3.x and newer, not disabled by the merchant); a store on another platform, or one that has closed the API, comes back as a free `NOT_WOOCOMMERCE` row. Some hosts block datacenter traffic with 403 or 429, which is a free `BLOCKED` row. Variable products give the parent row with a price range; the individual variations (sizes, colours) are counted, not listed. Stock is the flag and text the store shows, not a quantity unless the store publishes a low-stock number. Prices are in the store's own currency, without conversion.

### Input example

```json
{
    "stores": [
        "barefootbuttons.com",
        "porterandyork.com"
    ],
    "maxProductsPerStore": 500,
    "includeDescription": false,
    "onlyInStock": false
}
```

### Pricing

Pay per event: one `product-listed` event per delivered result. No charge for inputs
that fail, no separate platform-usage surcharge.

**Free Apify plan:** this actor delivers up to 25 rows per run for accounts on the Apify free
plan, and then stops with a message. That limit is set by us, not by Apify. It exists so the
actor keeps paying for itself for the people who do pay. Any paid Apify plan runs it at full
size, billed per delivered row, with failed rows never charged.

**Reviews:** if this actor saves you time, a short review on this page is the one thing that
helps most. Ratings are what other buyers look at first, and we have no other way to ask.

### FAQ

**Is personal data collected?**
No. Products, prices, stock, categories, brands and the review count and average are delivered; reviewer names, customer data and the merchant's contact details are not read.

**Why is `price` 1.95 when the API says 195?**
The Store API writes prices in minor units with a separate decimals field. This actor converts them, so the row carries what the customer pays.

**How do I get only discounted products?**
Filter on `onSale` true; `regularPrice` minus `salePrice` is the discount. Combine with `onlyInStock` to see what is both discounted and available.

**How does this differ from the WooCommerce store report actor?**
The report gives one row per store (size, price range, stock share, signals); this actor gives every product. Use the report to pick stores, this one to read them.

**What does a run cost when a store fails?**
Nothing. `NOT_WOOCOMMERCE`, `NO_PRODUCTS`, `ROBOTS_DISALLOWED`, `INVALID_STORE`, `FETCH_FAILED` and `BLOCKED` rows are free; only delivered products are charged.

**What happens when the source changes?**
Sources change from time to time; that is the nature of this work. The actor is
monitored daily and fixed fast, and while it is broken you are not charged, because
only delivered results cost anything.
