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 ## Helly Hansen Scraper -- Norwegian Outdoor & Sailing Apparel Data Scrape product data from HellyHansen.com -- the legendary Norwegian brand trusted by sailors, skiers, and outdoor professionals since 1877. Extract prices, technical specs, ratings, and availability from their complete catalog of waterproof jackets, sailing gear, base layers, and ski apparel. ### What is Helly Hansen Scraper? Helly Hansen (HH) is a Norwegian performance brand rooted in professional-grade protection against the elements. Their product line spans sailing gear (offshore jackets, trousers, boots), ski apparel, hiking clothing, urban rainwear, and workwear. From a EUR 50 base layer to a EUR 900 offshore sailing jacket, this scraper gives you structured access to their catalog. Who needs this data: - **Sailing & marine gear monitoring** -- Helly Hansen is a dominant brand in competitive sailing. Track pricing on their AEGIR, Newport, and Skagen Pro lines. Know when offshore gear goes on sale before race season. - **Ski apparel price tracking** -- HH supplies ski teams worldwide. Monitor their ski jackets, insulated pants, and base layers for seasonal markdowns and new model launches. - **Outdoor brand competitive analysis** -- If you sell outdoor apparel (Patagonia, Arc'teryx, The North Face), Helly Hansen is a direct competitor. Track their pricing, catalog depth, and promotional calendar. - **Technical spec comparison** -- HH provides detailed technical specs (waterproof ratings, breathability, HELLY TECH membrane types). Scrape specs for gear comparison databases. - **Affiliate marketing & content** -- Build data-driven sailing gear guides, ski apparel round-ups, or deal alerts using structured product data with specs and pricing. ### What data does Helly Hansen Scraper extract? - 🧥 **Product name** -- full product title - 🏷️ **Brand** -- always "Helly Hansen" - 💰 **Price** and currency - 💸 **Original price** -- for sale items - 🔢 **SKU and product ID** - ✅ **Stock availability** - ⭐ **Customer rating** and review count - 🖼️ **Product images** -- primary and gallery - 📝 **Description** -- product details and technology highlights - 🔧 **Technical specs** -- waterproof rating, breathability, membrane type, weight - 📂 **Category** and breadcrumb hierarchy ### How to scrape HellyHansen.com #### Search for products ```json { "searchQuery": "sailing jacket", "maxResults": 50 } ```` Good search terms: "sailing jacket", "ski pants", "base layer", "rain jacket", "offshore", "workwear". #### Browse a category Target a specific section of the HH catalog: ```json { "categoryUrl": "https://www.hellyhansen.com/en_gb/men/jackets-and-coats", "maxResults": 100 } ``` Common category URLs: - `/en_gb/men/jackets-and-coats` -- men's jackets - `/en_gb/women/jackets-and-coats` -- women's jackets - `/en_gb/sailing` -- sailing gear - `/en_gb/ski` -- ski apparel - `/en_gb/hiking` -- hiking clothing #### Default behavior If no search or category is provided, the scraper searches for all products. **Note:** HellyHansen.com runs on Magento 2. The scraper handles Magento-style pagination automatically. ### Output A typical Helly Hansen sailing jacket: ```json { "name": "AEGIR Ocean Jacket", "brand": "Helly Hansen", "price": 650.00, "currency": "GBP", "url": "https://www.hellyhansen.com/en_gb/aegir-ocean-jacket-30335", "scrapedAt": "2025-04-03T15:00:00.000Z", "originalPrice": 750.00, "sku": "30335", "productId": "30335-598", "inStock": true, "rating": 4.7, "reviewCount": 43, "imageUrl": "https://www.hellyhansen.com/media/catalog/product/30335_598_main.jpg", "imageUrls": [ "https://www.hellyhansen.com/media/catalog/product/30335_598_main.jpg", "https://www.hellyhansen.com/media/catalog/product/30335_598_back.jpg", "https://www.hellyhansen.com/media/catalog/product/30335_598_detail.jpg" ], "description": "The AEGIR Ocean Jacket is our most technically advanced offshore sailing jacket.

The scraper uses CheerioCrawler for efficient, browser-free extraction. ### Can I integrate? Route Helly Hansen data where you need it: - **Google Sheets** -- track sailing gear pricing in a spreadsheet - **Webhooks** -- alerts when sailing jackets go on sale before race season - **Zapier / Make** -- automate gear price monitoring - **Slack** -- notifications for price drops on ski apparel - **Amazon S3 / Google Cloud Storage** -- seasonal data archiving - **Databases** -- power your outdoor gear comparison platform ### Can I use it as an API? #### Python ```python from apify_client import ApifyClient client = ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN") run = client.actor("studio-amba/hellyhansen-scraper").call(run_input={ "searchQuery": "ski jacket", "maxResults": 25, }) for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items(): specs = item.get('specs', {}) wp = specs.get('Waterproofness', '') print(f"{item['name']} -- {item['currency']} {item['price']} -- {wp}") ``` #### JavaScript ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' }); const run = await client.actor('studio-amba/hellyhansen-scraper').call({ searchQuery: 'ski jacket', maxResults: 25, }); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach(item => { const wp = item.specs?.Waterproofness || ''; console.log(`${item.name} -- ${item.currency} ${item.price} -- ${wp}`); }); ``` ### FAQ **Which Helly Hansen store does this target?** The scraper targets the UK English store (en\_gb). This gives prices in GBP. Other regional stores (US, EU, Nordics) are not directly supported. **Can I scrape sailing gear specifically?** Yes. Use a sailing category URL like `https://www.hellyhansen.com/en_gb/sailing` or search for "sailing jacket", "offshore", or "regatta". **Does it extract HELLY TECH membrane info?** Yes, when available. Technical specs including waterproof ratings, breathability, and membrane type are extracted from product attribute tables on the detail page. **How often does HH update prices?** Helly Hansen typically runs two major sale periods (summer and winter). Mid-season promotions happen occasionally. Weekly or bi-weekly scraping captures most price changes. **Are workwear products included?** Yes. Helly Hansen's workwear line appears in search results and can be targeted via category URLs. **Can I filter by activity (sailing, skiing, hiking)?** Use activity-specific category URLs or search terms. The category field in the output also indicates the product's activity classification. ### Limitations - The scraper targets hellyhansen.com/en\_gb (UK store). Other regional stores have different URLs and pricing. - HellyHansen.com runs on Magento 2, which can be slow. Large scrapes may take proportionally longer than sites with APIs. - Technical specs are extracted from HTML attribute tables. The available specs vary by product category and how completely HH has filled in product data. - Some product listing pages use JavaScript rendering for product grids. The scraper handles this by looking for multiple link patterns including Magento-standard selectors. - Product availability reflects online stock only. ### Other retail and fashion scrapers Complete your outdoor and sports retail data set: - [AS Adventure Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/asadventure-scraper) -- Belgium's biggest outdoor retailer - [Bergfreunde Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/bergfreunde-scraper) -- German climbing and hiking specialist - [Intersport Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/intersport-scraper) -- Europe's largest sports retail chain - [Action Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/action-scraper) -- Pan-European discount retailer - [Kruidvat Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/kruidvat-scraper) -- Belgian drugstore and beauty - [ICI PARIS XL Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/iciparisxl-scraper) -- Belgian beauty and perfume - [Rituals Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/rituals-scraper) -- Premium cosmetics and home fragrance - [Mytheresa Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/mytheresa-scraper) -- Luxury designer fashion ### Your feedback Issues, feature requests, or questions?
