## 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.

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

## StockX Release Calendar Scraper

Pull every upcoming and recently-released drop on StockX with release dates, pre-release bid/ask signals, and full category metadata.

### What you can do with it

- **Drop prioritization** — rank tomorrow's releases by pre-release highest bid to decide which drops are worth targeting.
- **Resell allocation** — combine `releaseDate` with pre-release ask/bid to plan inventory ahead of time.
- **Hype detection** — `preReleaseHighestBid` on items with days until release > 0 is a clean leading indicator of demand.
- **Content & editorial** — power "Drops This Week" newsletters, calendars, and apps with fresh structured data.
- **Cross-channel alerts** — trigger notifications when an upcoming item crosses a price threshold before release.

### Features

- **7 categories supported**: `sneakers`, `apparel`, `electronics`, `accessories`, `collectibles`, `shoes`, `trading-cards`.
- **Pagination** — crawls up to N pages per category; stops early when a page has no items.
- **Per-release data (20+ fields)**:
  - Identity: `productId`, `uuid`, `urlKey`, `url`, `title`, `brand`, `model`, `gender`, `primaryCategory`, `productCategory`.
  - Release timing: `releaseDate` (ISO yyyy-mm-dd), `daysUntilRelease` (negative for already-released items).
  - Pre-release demand: `preReleaseHighestBid`, `preReleaseLowestAsk`, `annualAveragePrice`, `annualSalesCount`.
  - Traits: full traits map including colorway, style ID, retail price.
  - Media: `image`, `thumbUrl`.
- **Default Dataset output** — JSON / CSV / Excel / RSS / HTML export.

### Input

```json
{
    "categories": ["sneakers", "apparel"],
    "maxPagesPerCategory": 3,
    "maxConcurrency": 2,
    "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] }
}

# 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true,
        "apifyProxyGroups": [
            "RESIDENTIAL"
        ]
    }
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("xtracto/stockx-release-calendar-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) => {
