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.

QVC.com is a major online retail platform specializing in beauty, electronics, home goods, fashion, and lifestyle products. With thousands of active listings updated regularly, QVC is a valuable source for price intelligence, product trend analysis, and competitive benchmarking. Manual data collection from QVC search results is labor-intensive — the **QVC Product Search Scraper** automates this, delivering structured product data at scale with minimal effort. --- ### Overview The **QVC Product Search Scraper** extracts comprehensive product information from QVC search and category pages. It transforms paginated product listings into clean, machine-readable records suitable for: - **Price monitors & aggregators** tracking QVC products against competitors - **E-commerce researchers** analyzing product trends and assortment strategies - **Data analysts** building retail intelligence datasets - **Inventory managers** monitoring stock and availability signals - **Marketers** studying product positioning and promotional activity Key strengths include handling pagination automatically, extracting rich product metadata, configurable item limits per URL, and robust error handling via `ignore_url_failures`. --- ### Input Format The scraper accepts a JSON configuration with three main parameters: ```json { "urls": [ "https://www.qvc.com/c/beauty/makeup/-/rhuy/c.html?currentPage=2#plModule" ], "ignore_url_failures": true, "max_items_per_url": 200 } ```` | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `urls` | Array | Direct links to QVC product search/category pages. Accepts pagination URLs with page numbers and filters. Paste one URL per entry or use bulk edit for multiple URLs. | | `ignore_url_failures` | Boolean | If `true`, the scraper continues running if some URLs fail or return no results. If `false`, any failure stops the entire run. Default: `true` for reliability. | | `max_items_per_url` | Integer | Maximum products to extract from each URL (e.g., `200`). Controls volume and cost. Recommended range: 20–500 depending on needs. | > **Pro tip:** Use category or search URLs with specific filters (e.g., price range, brand) to narrow data collection and reduce costs. *** ### Output Format **Sample output** ```json { "product_number": "A723607", "item_number": "A723607-A723607-000-000", "type": "INVENTORY", "short_description": "Kevyn Aucoin Contour Book Face Palette Vol IV with Brush", "available_to_sell_indicator": "Y", "base_image_url": "http://qvc.scene7.com/is/image/QVC/a/07/", "primary_class_code": "6325", "swatch_indicator": false, "max_orderable_quantity": 0, "reviews": { "count": 1, "average_rating": 5.0 }, "pricing": { "current_minimum_selling_price": 54.0, "current_maximum_selling_price": 54.0, "qvc_minimum_price": 54.0, "qvc_maximum_price": 54.0, "product_credit_terms": [ { "code": "C3", "number_of_installments": 3, "text": "Available for 3 Easy Payments", "min_installment_amount": 18.0, "max_installment_amount": 18.0 } ], "supress_qvc_price_indicator": false }, "shipping_and_handling": { "shipping_handling_charge": 3.5, "discount_code": "N", "two_man_handling": false, "default_shipping_method_code": "GR" }, "attributes": { "display_image_url": "http://qvc.scene7.com/is/image/QVC/a/07/a723607.001", "last_on_air_date": "2026-01-17T01:52:35Z", "first_a_t_s_date": "2026-01-17T00:00:00Z", "img_color_url": "http://qvc.scene7.com/is/image/QVC/a/07/a723607.001", "best_seller": "0", "sales_div_code": "QVC", "manstop_i_q_v_c": "false", "manstop_internet": "false", "more_colors_available": "0", "more_options_available": "0" }, "assets": [ { "type": "video", "url": "http://www.qvc.com/6387855433112" } ], "from_url": "https://www.qvc.com/c/beauty/makeup/-/rhuy/c.html?currentPage=2#plModule" } ``` Each scraped product returns a rich record with 12+ fields covering identification, pricing, assets, and attributes: #### Product Identification | Field | Description | |---|---| | `Product Number` | Unique QVC identifier for the product, often alphanumeric (e.g., `Q-12345`) | | `Item Number` | Internal SKU or item code used in QVC systems for inventory tracking | | `Type` | Product category classification (e.g., "Beauty", "Electronics", "Home") | #### Product Content & Description | Field | Description | |---|---| | `Short Description` | Brief product name and key feature summary displayed on search results | | `Attributes` | Structured product metadata including color, size, brand, material, specifications, and other variant options | #### Availability & Ordering | Field | Description | |---|---| | `Available To Sell Indicator` | Flag showing whether the product is currently in stock and purchasable (true/false or status code) | | `Max Orderable Quantity` | Maximum units a customer can order per transaction (e.g., `5`, `10`, or unlimited) | #### Visual Assets | Field | Description | |---|---| | `Base Image URL` | URL to the primary product image displayed in search results and detail pages | | `Assets` | Collection of additional product images, video URLs, or multimedia content for the listing | | `Swatch Indicator` | Flag indicating whether color/pattern swatches are available for visual comparison | #### Merchant Data | Field | Description | |---|---| | `Primary Class Code` | Internal classification code mapping the product to QVC's taxonomy for reporting and analysis | #### Customer & Pricing Intelligence | Field | Description | |---|---| | `Reviews` | Aggregated customer review data including rating count, average score, and review links | | `Pricing` | Current price(s), original price (if on sale), currency, and promotional pricing if applicable | | `Shipping And Handling` | Shipping costs, estimated delivery time, and handling fees based on product weight and destination | *** ### How to Use 1. **Find category or search URLs** — On QVC.com, navigate to a category (e.g., Beauty > Makeup) or run a search. Copy the URL from your browser, including pagination parameters if needed. 2. **Prepare your input** — Create a JSON configuration with your URLs. Set `max_items_per_url` to balance data volume and cost (e.g., `50–200` for broad searches). 3. **Configure resilience** — Set `ignore_url_failures: true` for bulk runs to prevent failures from stopping the entire job. 4. **Run the scraper** — Start the actor and monitor progress via the log. The scraper will extract all products from each URL up to the item limit. 5. **Export and analyze** — Download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel. Use for price tracking, competitive analysis, or data pipeline ingestion. **Common use cases:** - Extract products from a specific category across multiple pages - Monitor seasonal promotions by scraping the same URLs weekly - Compare pricing across search filters (e.g., price ranges, brands) *** ### Use Cases & Business Value - **Price intelligence:** Track QVC product prices and promotional activity over time - **Competitive benchmarking:** Compare pricing, descriptions, and imagery against your own product catalog - **Assortment analysis:** Identify trending categories, new product launches, and discontinuations - **Review monitoring:** Collect and analyze customer feedback at scale - **Aggregator platforms:** Feed QVC data into comparison shopping engines or data enrichment services The **QVC Product Search Scraper** eliminates hours of manual browsing, delivering actionable retail intelligence in minutes. *** ### Conclusion The **QVC Product Search Scraper** is an efficient, cost-effective solution for anyone needing structured e-commerce data.
