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.

Covers **16 European countries** plus the US — fashion, home, beauty, and kids products from Europe's largest fast-fashion retailer. ### Why use this scraper? Primark has **no e-commerce** and **no public API**. This is the only way to get structured product data at scale: - **Price monitoring** across 16 countries and multiple currencies (GBP, EUR, USD, PLN, CZK, RON) - **Catalog tracking** — new arrivals, discontinued items, seasonal changes - **Competitive intelligence** — compare Primark pricing vs H&M, Zara, SHEIN - **Market research** — product assortment differences between countries - **Click & Collect availability** tracking ### Features - Scrape by **category** (e.g., Women > Clothing > Dresses) or **search query** - **16 countries** supported: UK, Ireland, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Czech Republic, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, USA - Automatic **pagination** — "Load More" handling - **Deduplication** — no duplicate products in output - Product **name, price, currency, color, image URL, category** - Click & Collect availability detection ### Input | Parameter | Type | Description | Default | |-----------|------|-------------|---------| | `startUrls` | array | Category or product page URLs | Women's Dresses | | `searchQuery` | string | Search keyword (overrides startUrls) | — | | `country` | enum | Country store (determines locale + currency) | `gb` | | `maxResults` | integer | Max products to return (1–10,000) | 100 | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Proxy settings for reliability | — | #### Supported countries `gb` (UK), `ie` (Ireland), `be-en` / `be-nl` / `be-fr` (Belgium), `nl` (Netherlands), `de` (Germany), `at` (Austria), `fr` (France), `es` (Spain), `pt` (Portugal), `it` (Italy), `cz` (Czech Republic), `pl` (Poland), `ro` (Romania), `sk` (Slovakia), `si` (Slovenia), `us` (USA) #### Example input ```json { "searchQuery": "summer dress", "country": "gb", "maxResults": 50 } ```` Or scrape a specific category: ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.primark.com/en-gb/c/women/clothing/dresses" } ], "maxResults": 200 } ``` ### Output Each product in the dataset contains: ```json { "name": "Midi Shirt Dress", "brand": "Primark", "price": 18, "currency": "GBP", "url": "https://www.primark.com/en-gb/p/midi-shirt-dress-navy-991163842528", "imageUrl": "https://cdn.media.amplience.net/i/primark/991163842528_01", "color": "navy", "colorCount": 3, "clickAndCollect": true, "scrapedAt": "2026-04-03T12:00:00.000Z" } ``` #### Output fields | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `name` | string | Product name | | `brand` | string | Always "Primark" | | `price` | number | Current price in local currency | | `currency` | string | Currency code (GBP, EUR, USD, etc.) | | `url` | string | Direct link to product page | | `imageUrl` | string | Product image URL | | `color` | string | Color variant (extracted from URL) | | `colorCount` | number | Number of available colors | | `clickAndCollect` | boolean | Whether Click & Collect is available | | `category` | string | Product category path | | `description` | string | Product description (product pages only) | | `scrapedAt` | string | ISO timestamp | ### Tips - **Start with categories** for structured data collection. Search is better for finding specific items. - **Use proxies** for runs over 200 products to avoid rate limiting. - **Country matters** — prices, availability, and even product assortment differ between countries. - Primark uses Akamai bot protection, so this actor uses a full browser (Playwright). ### Cost estimate - \~50 products/minute with a single browser - 100 products ≈ 2 minutes ≈ $0.02 on Apify platform - 1,000 products ≈ 20 minutes ≈ $0.20 on Apify platform ### Changelog #### v0.1 (2026-04-03) - Initial release - Category and search scraping - 16 country support - Pagination via "Load More" # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Primark category or product pages to scrape. Example: https://www.primark.com/en-gb/c/women/clothing/dresses ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Search for products by keyword (e.g., 'summer dress', 'trainers', 'bedding'). If provided, overrides Start URLs. ## `country` (type: `string`): Country store to scrape. Determines locale, currency, and product availability. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of products to return. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. Recommended for large runs to avoid blocking. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.primark.com/en-gb/c/women/clothing/dresses" } ], "country": "gb", "maxResults": 100 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
