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 ## JBC Scraper Scrapes clothing and fashion products from jbc.be, a popular Belgian family fashion chain. Supports both Dutch and French storefronts. ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Description | |-------|------|----------|-------------| | `categoryUrl` | String | No | JBC category page URL | | `searchQuery` | String | No | Search term (e.g., "jeans", "winterjas") | | `maxResults` | Integer | No | Max products (default: 100) | | `language` | String | No | `nl` (default) or `fr` | | `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Proxy settings | Without input, scrapes the four main clothing categories (dames, heren, meisjes, jongens). ### Output | Field | Type | Example | |-------|------|---------| | `name` | String | `"Slim fit jeans"` | | `brand` | String | `"JBC"` | | `price` | Number | `39.95` | | `originalPrice` | Number | `49.95` | | `currency` | String | `"EUR"` | | `sku` | String | `"314071"` | | `inStock` | Boolean | `true` | | `imageUrl` | String | Product image | | `imageUrls` | Array | All variant images | | `description` | String | Product description | | `color` | String | `"Donkerblauw"` | | `category` | String | `"Dames > Kleding > Jeans"` | | `categories` | Array | Breadcrumb trail | | `language` | String | `"nl"` | ### How it works Product discovery on listing pages uses a clever trick: JBC embeds CQuotient tracking scripts on each product tile with `cq_params.products = [{ id: '314071BLD' }]`. The scraper extracts these product IDs, strips the color suffix to get the base product ID, and constructs product detail URLs. Product pages use JSON-LD Product data for extraction. Color variants and sale prices come from HTML elements. Pagination uses `start=` and `sz=` URL parameters (Salesforce Commerce Cloud pattern). The scraper reads the "X van Y items" text to know when to stop paginating. ### Cost About **$0.35 per 1,000 products** (visits detail pages for each product). ### Notes - Belgian fashion chain with only own-brand products - URL structure: `/nl-be/` for Dutch, `/fr-be/` for French - Default page size is 72 items per listing page - Product IDs like "314071BLD" consist of a numeric base + color code suffix # Actor input Schema ## `categoryUrl` (type: `string`): A JBC.be category page URL to scrape. Example: https://www.jbc.be/nl-be/dames/kleding/. If empty and no search query, scrapes main categories. ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Search for products by keyword (e.g., 'jeans', 't-shirt'). Uses JBC search. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of products to return. ## `language` (type: `string`): Language for product data. Affects URL prefix (/nl-be/ or /fr-be/). ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. Usually not needed for JBC.be. ## Actor input object example ```json { "categoryUrl": "https://www.jbc.be/nl-be/dames/kleding/", "maxResults": 100, "language": "nl" } ```` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "categoryUrl": "https://www.jbc.be/nl-be/dames/kleding/" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("studio-amba/jbc-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
