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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## AVA Scraper Scrape products from ava.be, a Belgian retailer for home goods, garden supplies, party decorations, school and office materials, and seasonal items. Available in Dutch and French. ### Tweakwise API AVA.be uses Tweakwise for its search and navigation backend. The scraper can query this API directly for fast results with product names, prices, images, and item numbers. If you enable `enrichProductPages`, it additionally visits each product page to collect EANs, descriptions, full image galleries, and stock status. ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Description | |-------|------|----------|-------------| | `searchQuery` | String | No | Keyword, e.g. `"stoel"`, `"verf"`, `"kerstverlichting"` | | `categoryUrl` | String | No | Category URL, e.g. `https://www.ava.be/nl/c/school-en-bureau` | | `maxResults` | Integer | No | Product cap (default: 100) | | `enrichProductPages` | Boolean | No | Visit product pages for full detail (slower but more fields) | | `language` | String | No | `"nl"` (default) or `"fr"` | | `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Proxy settings (usually not needed) | Without input, scrapes the garden (`/tuin`) category. ### Output | Field | Type | Example | |-------|------|---------| | `name` | String | `"Tuinstoel Lucca antraciet"` | | `brand` | String | `"Aveve"` | | `price` | Number | `49.99` | | `originalPrice` | Number | `59.99` | | `currency` | String | `"EUR"` | | `sku` | String | Product code | | `ean` | String | EAN barcode (with enrichment) | | `inStock` | Boolean | `true` | | `imageUrl` | String | Primary image | | `imageUrls` | Array | All product images (with enrichment) | | `description` | String | Product description (with enrichment) | | `category` | String | `"Tuin > Tuinmeubelen"` from breadcrumbs | ```json { "name": "Tuinstoel Lucca antraciet", "brand": "Aveve", "price": 49.99, "currency": "EUR", "inStock": true, "sku": "12345", "url": "https://www.ava.be/nl/p/tuinstoel-lucca-antraciet", "category": "Tuin > Tuinmeubelen", "scrapedAt": "2026-03-15T10:00:00.000Z" } ```` ### Cost API-only mode (no enrichment): **~$0.05 per 1,000 products**. With product page enrichment: **~$0.25 per 1,000**. ### Notes - Category pages also discover and follow subcategory links for deeper crawling - The scraper identifies product URLs by path depth (5+ segments) when specific selectors don't match - JSON-LD on product pages provides fallback pricing when HTML selectors fail # Actor input Schema ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Search for products by keyword (e.g., 'stoel', 'verf', 'kerstverlichting'). Uses Tweakwise search API. ## `categoryUrl` (type: `string`): An AVA.be category page URL to scrape. Example: https://www.ava.be/nl/c/school-en-bureau. If empty and no search query, browses all products. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of products to return. ## `enrichProductPages` (type: `boolean`): Visit each product page to get full details (description, EAN, images, stock). Slower but more complete. When disabled, only returns data from the Tweakwise API (name, brand, price, image, URL). ## `language` (type: `string`): Language for product data. Affects URL prefix (/nl/ or /fr/). ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. Usually not needed for AVA.be. ## Actor input object example ```json { "categoryUrl": "https://www.ava.be/nl/c/school-en-bureau", "maxResults": 100, "enrichProductPages": true, "language": "nl" } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "categoryUrl": "https://www.ava.be/nl/c/school-en-bureau" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("studio-amba/ava-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
