## 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

## Zara Scraper

Pull product data from zara.com, the Inditex flagship fashion retailer. This scraper reads directly from Zara's own category-listing API, so it returns clean, structured data — name, price, stock, category, images — for every product in a category, not just what's visible without scrolling.

### How to scrape Zara data

Give the actor one or more Zara category page URLs (copy them straight from your browser, e.g. `https://www.zara.com/be/en/woman-dresses-l1066.html`) and it resolves the site's internal category id, calls Zara's own listing endpoint, and returns every product in that category up to `maxResults`. There's no pagination to configure — Zara's category grid loads as a single response per category, and the actor fetches it in one call.

Zara sits behind Akamai's bot-management layer: a plain request to any `zara.com` path, including `robots.txt`, gets blocked at the edge with no challenge even offered. This actor routes every request through Bright Data's Web Unlocker, which clears the block, so you don't need your own proxy or browser-automation setup.

Under the hood, a Zara category page doesn't server-render its product grid — only a 10-item SEO snippet ships in the HTML. The real grid loads client-side from `zara.com/{country}/{lang}/category/{id}/products?ajax=true`, where `{id}` is an internal category id, not the id shown in the page URL. This actor resolves that mapping itself via Zara's own category-tree endpoint, so you only ever need to paste in a normal category URL.

If you don't provide any input, it defaults to scraping Zara Belgium's "Dresses — View All" category as a demo.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `categoryUrls` | array of strings | Zara category page URLs, e.g. `"https://www.zara.com/be/en/woman-dresses-l1066.html"`. Up to 25 per run. |
| `maxResults` | integer | Cap on number of products returned across all category URLs (default: 100) |
| `brightDataApiKey` | string | Your own Bright Data API key, if you want to use your own Web Unlocker zone instead of the actor's built-in one |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Not used — this actor reaches zara.com exclusively through Bright Data, which handles unblocking on its own. Kept for input-shape compatibility. |

### What you get back

| Field | Type | Example |
|-------|------|---------|
| `name` | string | `"DRESS WITH CONTRASTING STRAPS AND STUDS - THE ITEM"` |
| `brand` | string | `"Zara"` |
| `price` | number | `149` |
| `originalPrice` | number | null | Pre-discount price, only present when Zara marks a markdown |
| `currency` | string | `"EUR"` |
| `sku` | string | null | `"00450150-I2026"` |
| `productId` | string | null | `"545494535"` |
| `inStock` | boolean | null | `true` (null only when Zara doesn't state in/out of stock, e.g. "coming soon") |
| `url` | string | Full product page URL |
| `imageUrl` | string | null | Primary product image |
| `imageUrls` | array | Up to 8 product images for the first available color |
| `category` | string | null | Family / subfamily label, e.g. `"DRESS / W.DRESS"` |
| `description` | string | null | Product description, when Zara publishes one on the listing |
| `specs` | object | Currently the primary color name, e.g. `{"color": "Ecru"}` |
| `scrapedAt` | string | ISO timestamp |

### Sample output

```json
{
  "name": "DRESS WITH CONTRASTING STRAPS AND STUDS - THE ITEM",
  "brand": "Zara",
  "price": 149,
  "currency": "EUR",
  "url": "https://www.zara.com/be/en/dress-with-contrasting-straps-and-studs---the-item-p00450150.html",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-09-04T09:23:03.273Z",
  "sku": "00450150-I2026",
  "productId": "545494535",
  "inStock": true,
  "imageUrl": "https://static.zara.net/assets/public/4cf5/aa49/2ffb45f08c8d/2977360bd876/00450150712-p/00450150712-p.jpg",
  "imageUrls": [
    "https://static.zara.net/assets/public/4cf5/aa49/2ffb45f08c8d/2977360bd876/00450150712-p/00450150712-p.jpg",
    "https://static.zara.net/assets/public/8e18/df42/1a3040e8bf79/4db70e869bea/00450150712-a1/00450150712-a1.jpg"
  ],
  "category": "DRESS / W.DRESS",
  "specs": { "color": "Ecru" },
  "scrapedAt": "2026-09-04T09:23:03.273Z"
}
```

### Use cases

- **Price monitoring** — track Zara's own price and markdown changes over time on the styles you sell against.
- **Assortment research** — see which categories, families and colorways Zara is pushing at any given moment, across markets.
- **Market comparison** — Zara is the largest single fashion retailer in Europe, making it a standard reference point when benchmarking fast-fashion pricing.
- **Stock tracking** — `inStock` flags items Zara has pulled from a category before you have to check by hand.

### Coverage

Category ids are shared across Zara's European storefronts — the same category id returns localized names and prices under any `{country}/{lang}` path (e.g. `/be/en/`, `/de/de/`, `/fr/fr/`). Point `categoryUrls` at the storefront you need; there's no separate country setting.

### Performance and cost

Every request goes through Bright Data's Web Unlocker, but a category listing returns 300–500+ products in a single call, so the Bright Data cost per result is a small fraction of a cent. A 100-product run typically completes in under a minute. Your run's usage cost only settles after the run reports SUCCEEDED — checking cost mid-run will undercount it.

### Limitations

- Input is category URLs, not free-text search — Zara's own site search endpoint wasn't confirmed during this build, so search isn't supported yet.
- `originalPrice` is only populated when Zara marks an item as discounted on the listing itself; full-price categories will show it as absent on every item, which is correct, not missing data.
- Ratings and review counts aren't exposed on the listing endpoint, so they're not included in the output.
- Per-size stock isn't included — only an overall `inStock` flag for the product's default color.
- If Zara restructures its category-tree or product-listing endpoints, the actor will need updating — it depends on the exact shape of `categories?ajax=true` and `category/{id}/products?ajax=true`.

## `categoryUrls` (type: `array`):

Zara category page URLs to scrape, e.g. "https://www.zara.com/be/en/woman-dresses-l1066.html". Copy any category URL straight from zara.com — the actor resolves the site's internal category id itself. Leave empty to use the default (Women's Dresses, Belgium).

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

Maximum number of products to scrape across all category URLs

## `brightDataApiKey` (type: `string`):

Bright Data API key (Web Unlocker zone) used to reach zara.com behind its Akamai anti-bot protection. Falls back to the actor's own BRIGHT\_DATA\_API\_KEY environment variable if left empty.

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

Not used — this actor reaches zara.com exclusively through Bright Data Web Unlocker (Akamai-protected, confirmed live), which handles unblocking on its own. Kept for input-shape compatibility.
