## Pricing

from $2.00 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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`).

## Nykaa Products Search Scraper: Extract Beauty & Skincare Data at Scale

***

### What Is Nykaa.com?

Nykaa is one of India's largest beauty and personal care e-commerce platforms, hosting hundreds of thousands of products across skincare, haircare, makeup, and wellness. With constantly shifting prices, flash sales, and new launches, tracking product data manually is impractical. The **Nykaa Products Search Scraper** automates this, turning category and search pages into structured, analysis-ready datasets.

***

### Overview

The **Nykaa Products Search Scraper** collects product cards from Nykaa's category and search result pages — everything visible in a product grid. It is suited for:

- **Price comparison platforms** aggregating beauty product pricing
- **Brand managers** monitoring their listings and competitor positioning
- **Market researchers** analyzing product availability, ratings, and discount trends
- **Data engineers** building beauty retail datasets

***

### Input Format

The Actor supports **two scraping modes** — use only **one at a time**:

1. **Scrape by URLs** — scrape data directly from a list of Nykaa category or search result page URLs.

```json
{
  "ignore_url_failures": true,
  "max_items_per_url": 200,
  "urls": [
    "https://www.nykaa.com/skin/moisturizers/night-cream/c/8395?page_no=2&sort=popularity"
  ]
}
```

2. **Scrape by search filters** — scrape data using a keyword and additional filters (sort order, price, discount, rating, gender, color) instead of providing URLs.

```json
{

  "keyword": "ab",
  "sort_by": "discount",
  "price_range": "500-1000",
  "discount": "",
  "rating": "",
  "gender": "",
  "color": "",
  "page": 1,
  "max_items_per_url": 200,
}

```

There is also a **General settings** group that applies to both modes.

#### 1. Scrape by URLs

Use this mode when you already have specific category or search result URLs. When this mode is used, all options in the "Scrape by search filters" section will be disabled.

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `urls` | `array` of strings | *(required)* | One or more Nykaa category or search result page URLs to scrape. Add URLs one by one, or use the Bulk edit section to paste a prepared list. Example: `https://www.nykaa.com/skin/moisturizers/night-cream/c/8395?page_no=2&sort=popularity` |
| `ignore_url_failures` | `boolean` | `true` | If `true`, the scraper skips failed URLs and continues running rather than stopping the entire job. Recommended for bulk runs. |

#### 2. Scrape by search filters

Use this mode when you want to search using a keyword and additional filter attributes instead of scraping by URLs. If you use this mode, leave the `urls` field above empty.

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `keyword` | `string` | — | The keyword to search for. |
| `sort_by` | `string` (`relevance_new`, `discount`, `name`, `customer_top_rated`, `new_arrival`, `price_desc`, `price_asc`) | — | Sort results by Relevance, Discount, Name, Customer Top Rated, New Arrival, Price: High to Low, or Price: Low to High. |
| `price_range` | `string` (`""`, `0-499`, `500-999`, `1000-1999`, `2000-3999`, `4000-*`) | — | Filter by price range in Rs.: All, 0–499, 500–999, 1000–1999, 2000–3999, or 4000 & Above. |
| `discount` | `string` (`""`, `70-*`, `60-*`, `50-*`, `40-*`, `30-*`, `20-*`, `10-*`, `0-*`) | — | Filter by minimum discount: All, 70% and above, down to 10% and above, or all discounted products. |
| `rating` | `string` (`''`, `4`, `3`, `2`, `1`) | — | Filter by minimum customer rating: All, 4 stars & above, down to 1 star & above. |
| `gender` | `string` (`""`, `10711`, `10710`, `10712`) | — | Filter by target gender: All, Female, Male, Unisex. |
| `color` | `string` | — | Filter by product color. Select from the available Nykaa color options (e.g., Black, Blue, Grey, Pink, Multi-Color, White, Red, Brown, and many more — see the dropdown for the full list). |
| `page` | `integer` | — | The page number to start scraping from. |

#### 3. General settings

Applies to both scraping modes above.

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `max_items_per_url` | `integer` | `20` | The maximum number of products to collect per URL/search. Set higher (e.g., `200`) for full category sweeps. |

> **Tip:** To scrape multiple pages of a category, add each paginated URL separately (e.g., `?page_no=1`, `?page_no=2`). You can also vary the `sort=` parameter (`popularity`, `price_asc`, `new_arrivals`) for different slices of the same category.

### How to Use

1. **Find your target URL** — Navigate to any Nykaa category, brand, or search results page and copy the URL.
2. **Adjust pagination** — Modify `?page_no=` in the URL to target specific pages.
3. **Configure input** — Paste URLs into the `urls` array; set `max_items_per_url` based on how many products you need.
4. **Run the scraper** — Start the actor and wait for completion.
5. **Export** — Download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

**Best practices:**

- For full category coverage, generate paginated URLs for all available pages.
- Use `sort=price_asc` or `sort=new_arrivals` to capture different product orderings.
- Set `ignore_url_failures: true` whenever running more than a few URLs.

***

### Use Cases & Business Value

- **Price monitoring:** Track MRP vs. selling price fluctuations and discount patterns across categories
- **Competitor benchmarking:** Compare brand positioning, ratings, and offer strategies
- **Inventory intelligence:** Monitor stock availability and backorder trends
- **New launch tracking:** Use `Is Early Access` and `Dynamic Tags` to surface new product introductions
- **Retail analytics:** Feed structured data into BI dashboards for beauty market reporting

***

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,stealth_mode/nykaa-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).
