Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

Apohem.se is Sweden's leading online pharmacy and health products retailer, offering thousands of over-the-counter medications, wellness products, medical devices, and health-related goods. With frequent price changes, inventory fluctuations, and promotional updates, manually tracking products across Apohem is inefficient. The **Apohem Product Search Scraper** automates product data collection, delivering structured records that fuel competitive analysis, price monitoring, and market intelligence. --- ### Overview The **Apohem Product Search Scraper** extracts comprehensive product data from Apohem.se search result pages, converting unstructured product listings into clean, machine-readable records. It is ideal for: - **Price monitors** tracking competitor pricing and promotions - **Market researchers** analyzing health product trends in the Nordic region - **E-commerce aggregators** building multi-vendor product catalogs - **Supply chain analysts** monitoring stock levels and product availability - **Pharmaceutical analysts** studying OTC and medical device markets The scraper handles multiple search queries in a single run, respects rate limits with configurable item limits, and gracefully skips failed URLs — ensuring reliable data collection even at scale. --- ### Input Configuration The scraper accepts a JSON configuration object specifying which Apohem search results to collect: ```json { "urls": [ "https://www.apohem.se/sok?q=ome" ], "ignore_url_failures": true, "max_items_per_url": 200 } ```` #### Input Parameters Explained | Parameter | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `urls` | Array | Apohem.se search result page URLs. Each URL should contain a search query (e.g., `q=ome` for "ome" products). You can add multiple URLs to collect data from different search categories in one run. | | `max_items_per_url` | Integer | Maximum number of products to extract per URL (e.g., `200`). Set lower values to test configuration; increase for bulk data collection. | | `ignore_url_failures` | Boolean | If `true`, the scraper continues running if some URLs fail. If `false`, the entire run stops on the first error. Recommended: `true` for production runs. | **Tips:** - Use realistic search terms: `q=vitamin`, `q=antihistamine`, `q=sunscreen` - Each URL's result set can contain 50-1000+ products depending on the search - Combine `max_items_per_url: 200` with multiple URLs for efficient large-scale collection *** ### Output Format **Sample output** ```json { "link_identifier":
