## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Frisco Scraper — Poland Grocery Prices & Products

Scrape product data from [Frisco.pl](https://www.frisco.pl), Poland's
leading pure-online grocer, by keyword: names, brands, prices in PLN, EAN
codes, unit prices, promotions and stock availability.

### Why use this actor?

Frisco is Poland's oldest and largest online-only grocer — it runs no
physical stores, delivering to Warsaw and most of Poland from its own
warehouses. If you're building a Polish grocery price-comparison tool,
tracking PLN grocery inflation, monitoring your own products' pricing and
promotions on Frisco, or feeding grocery data into a meal-planning or
budgeting app, this actor gives you structured product data without writing
any scraping code yourself.

### How to scrape Frisco data

1. Enter a Polish search keyword (`searchQuery`), e.g. `mleko`, `kawa`,
   `chleb`, `ser`. Leave it blank and the actor falls back to a sensible
   default so it still returns data.
2. Set `maxResults` to the number of products you want (default 100).
3. Run the actor. It calls Frisco's own public search API directly — no
   browser, no login, no cookies required.
4. Download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Dataset tab, or pull
   them via the Apify API.

Under the hood, this actor calls Frisco's public JSON search endpoint
(`frisco.pl/app/commerce/api/v1/offer/products/query`) rather than parsing
rendered HTML — it's faster, cheaper to run, and returns cleaner, more
reliable data than scraping the page.

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `searchQuery` | String | No | Polish search keyword (e.g. `"mleko"`, `"kawa"`, `"chleb"`). Falls back to `"mleko"` if left empty so a blank run still returns data. |
| `maxResults` | Integer | No | Maximum number of products to return (default: 100, hard cap: 5000). |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Apify proxy settings. Frisco's search API has no anti-bot and is not geo-locked, so the free automatic proxy pool is enough — no residential proxy needed. |

### Output

Each result contains:

| Field | Type | Example |
|-------|------|---------|
| `name` | String | `"Mleko 2% w butelce (świeże)"` |
| `brand` | String | `"ŁACIATE"` |
| `price` | Number | `3.99` |
| `currency` | String | `"PLN"` |
| `originalPrice` | Number | `3.45` (only present on discounted items — the pre-discount price) |
| `pricePerUnit` | String | `"3.99 PLN/l"` |
| `discount` | String | `"1,99zł/szt. kupując 3 szt."` (only present on discounted items) |
| `ean` | String | `"5900820012212"` |
| `sku` / `productId` | String | `"13746"` |
| `inStock` | Boolean or null | `true` — `false` = out of stock, `null` = the source didn't state availability |
| `stockLevel` | Integer | `297` (exact units in stock, when available) |
| `rating` | Number | `4.9` (0-5 scale) |
| `reviewCount` | Integer | `512` |
| `category` | String | `"Mleko świeże"` (most specific category) |
| `categories` | Array of strings | `["Nabiał, jaja, sery", "Mleko, kefiry i napoje mleczne", "Mleko", "Mleko świeże"]` |
| `imageUrl` | String | Primary product image URL |
| `url` | String | Full product page URL |
| `scrapedAt` | String | ISO 8601 timestamp |

### Example output

```json
{
    "name": "Mleko 2% w butelce (świeże)",
    "brand": "ŁACIATE",
    "price": 3.99,
    "currency": "PLN",
    "pricePerUnit": "3.99 PLN/l",
    "ean": "5900820012212",
    "sku": "13746",
    "productId": "13746",
    "inStock": true,
    "stockLevel": 297,
    "rating": 4.9,
    "reviewCount": 512,
    "category": "Mleko świeże",
    "categories": ["Nabiał, jaja, sery", "Mleko, kefiry i napoje mleczne", "Mleko", "Mleko świeże"],
    "imageUrl": "https://res.cloudinary.com/dj484tw6k/image/upload/v1634597279/13746.png",
    "url": "https://www.frisco.pl/pid,13746/n,mleko-2-w-butelce-swieze/stn,product",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-09-12T14:10:15.983Z"
}
```

A discounted item also carries `originalPrice` and `discount`:

```json
{
    "name": "Jogurt kremowy z wiśniami",
    "brand": "FANTASIA",
    "price": 1.99,
    "currency": "PLN",
    "originalPrice": 3.45,
    "pricePerUnit": "16.86 PLN/kg",
    "discount": "1,99zł/szt. kupując 3 szt.",
    "ean": "5900643047347",
    "sku": "136697",
    "productId": "136697",
    "inStock": true,
    "stockLevel": 251,
    "rating": 4.9,
    "reviewCount": 274,
    "category": "Wiśnia",
    "categories": ["Nabiał, jaja, sery", "Jogurty", "Jogurt smakowy", "Wiśnia"],
    "url": "https://www.frisco.pl/pid,136697/n,jogurt-kremowy-z-wisniami/stn,product",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-09-12T14:14:44.239Z"
}
```

### Cost estimate

This actor uses roughly **$0.002 per result plus a small per-run start fee**
(pay-per-event pricing, no compute-unit billing to track). A run of 1,000
products costs about $2. Each result is one Frisco API call amortized across
a 250-item page — there is no per-product detail fetch, so cost scales
linearly and predictably with `maxResults`. Note: a run's usage cost only
settles after the run reports SUCCEEDED — checking the dataset mid-run will
show a cost far below the eventual total.

### Limitations

- The product page URL is reconstructed from the product ID and name
  (Frisco's own slug is cosmetic — any text after `/n,` redirects to the
  canonical page), so the exact slug text may differ slightly from the
  live site's own link.
- Prices reflect Frisco's standard Warsaw-area delivery pricing at scrape
  time; Frisco does not expose region-specific pricing through this public
  endpoint.
- Data is scraped from the public website and may change without notice.
- Respect Frisco's terms of service and use responsibly.

### Need this data on a schedule, or a custom version?

We run this scraper as a managed service for businesses: scheduled runs,
deduplication, delta detection, and delivery to your inbox, Google Sheets,

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQuery` (type: `string`):

Keyword to search the Frisco catalogue in Polish (e.g. 'mleko', 'kawa', 'chleb'). Leave empty to browse the full catalogue.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of products to return across all result pages. Hard-capped at 5000 per run to keep runs predictable.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Apify proxy settings. Frisco's search API has no anti-bot and is not geo-locked (verified: it returns full data with zero proxy at all) — the free automatic proxy pool is enough.

  "searchQuery": "mleko",
  "maxResults": 20,

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).
