## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

# README

## ZEB Scraper

Scrape fashion products, prices, sizes, and variants from [ZEB.be](https://www.zeb.be) — Belgium's popular multi-brand clothing retailer. No cookies or login required.

### Why use this actor?

ZEB carries Tommy Hilfiger, Jack & Jones, Levi's, Only, and dozens of other fashion brands at competitive prices. If you need fashion price comparisons, brand availability tracking, size/color variant data, or product feeds for the Belgian fashion market, this actor delivers structured data via Shopify's JSON API — fast and reliable.

### Features

- **Three scraping modes** — search by keyword, browse by collection (e.g. "dames", "heren"), or scrape the full product catalog
- **Variant-level data** — every size/color combo with individual pricing, SKU, and stock status
- **Fast API-based scraping** — uses Shopify's native JSON endpoints, no HTML parsing needed
- **Rich product data** — names, brands, prices, sale prices, SKUs, images, descriptions, and product types
- **No cookies, no login required** — works out of the box

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `searchQuery` | String | No | Product search term (e.g. `"tommy hilfiger polo"`) |
| `collection` | String | No | Shopify collection handle (e.g. `"dames"`, `"heren"`, `"sale"`) |
| `maxResults` | Integer | No | Maximum products to return (default: 100) |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Proxy settings (recommended for large runs) |

Without input, all products are scraped via `/products.json`.

### Output

Each result contains:

| Field | Type | Example |
|-------|------|---------|
| `name` | String | `"Tommy Hilfiger Core Slim Fit Polo"` |
| `brand` | String | `"Tommy Hilfiger"` |
| `price` | Number | `79.90` |
| `originalPrice` | Number | `99.90` |
| `currency` | String | `"EUR"` |
| `sku` | String | `"MW0MW30750-DW5"` |
| `productId` | String | `"8234567890"` |
| `inStock` | Boolean | `true` |
| `url` | String | Full product URL |
| `imageUrl` | String | Primary product image URL |
| `imageUrls` | Array | All product image URLs |
| `description` | String | Cleaned product description |
| `category` | String | `"Polo's"` |
| `variants` | Array | Size/color combos with pricing and availability |

### Cost estimate

This actor uses approximately **0.5 compute units per 1,000 products**. It calls Shopify's JSON API directly (250 products per request), making it one of the fastest scrapers in this catalog. A full catalog scrape costs roughly **$0.25**.

### How it works

ZEB runs on Shopify. The scraper uses three native Shopify API endpoints:

1. `/products.json?limit=250&page=N` for full catalog browsing
2. `/collections/{handle}/products.json` for collection-specific browsing
3. `/search/suggest.json` for keyword search, with fallback to catalog filtering

Descriptions are cleaned of hidden `display:none` divs that ZEB uses to store internal barcode data.

### Limitations

- Search mode uses Shopify's suggest endpoint (max 10 initial results), then scans the full catalog for additional matches
- Shopify's products.json API has a built-in page limit; very large catalogs may not return every product
- Data is scraped from the public website and may change without notice

# Actor input Schema

});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("studio-amba/zeb-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) => {
