## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

## Zappos Scraper — Shoes and Apparel with Prices, Ratings and Brands from Zappos

**Scrape zappos.com without the Zappos API.** Enter keywords or paste Zappos search, category or product links and get every product with its price, discount, rating, review count and images as clean rows.  No account, no browser, no start fee. Pay per product.

> ⭐ 100 products per page · brand, colour and style · price and discount · ratings and review counts · stock per colour · sort by new, rating, best sellers or price · product-page sizes, colours and description as an add-on · API and MCP ready

### What does Zappos Scraper do?

| You enter | You get |
|---|---|
| Keywords, one per line | The products zappos.com shows for each search, page after page |
| A Zappos search or category link | The same results, with the link's own filters and sorting kept |
| A Zappos product link | That product's full details |

### What data does it extract?

#### Every product

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `title`, `id`, `url` | Product name, Zappos product ID and link |
| `price`, `originalPrice`, `currency` | Current price, the price before discount when there is one, and currency |
| `rating`, `reviewCount` | Average rating and number of reviews |
| `brand`, `seller` | Brand and seller or store, when Zappos shows them |
| `image` | Main product image |
| `inStock`, `availability` | Stock status as shown in the results |
| `sponsored` | `true` for paid placements, so you can filter them out |
| `position`, `query`, `source` | Rank in the results and the keyword or link it came from |
| `discountPercent`, `color`, `colorId`, `styleId` | Discount, colour and Zappos style IDs |
| `stockCount`, `isLowStock`, `isNew`, `onSale` | Stock and badge flags |
| `gender`, `category` | Audience and product type |

#### With the details add-on

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `description` | Product description |
| `images` | All product images |
| `sizes`, `colors` | Available options, when shown |

Product links you paste always return the full details.

### A Zappos API alternative

Zappos has no public API; its catalogue is reachable only through the website.

This Actor is a **Zappos API alternative** for public product data. It works **without the Zappos API**: no developer account, no keys, no approval.

| | Zappos API | This Actor |
|---|---|---|
| Access | No public API | Anyone |
| Data | - | Any public search, category or product |
| Setup | Application, keys, token handling | Keywords or links, press Start |
| Output | API objects | Flat rows: CSV, Excel, JSON |

### Why use this Zappos scraper

#### Page after page

Set how many products you want per keyword and the Actor follows Zappos's own pagination until it has them, removing repeats.

#### Prices you can compare

Current price, pre-discount price and currency are numbers, ready for a spreadsheet or a price-tracking database.

#### Your own links work

Set any filter or sort on zappos.com, copy the address and paste it. The Actor keeps it as it is and pages through it.

#### No start fee, and failures are free

You pay per product delivered. Bad links and empty searches return a free error row.

### How to scrape Zappos

1. Open the Actor and type **Keywords**, one per line, or paste **Zappos links**.
2. Set **Max products per keyword**, and a sort order or price range if you want them.
3. Turn on **Add product-page details** if you need descriptions, specifications, all images and the other product-page fields.
4. Press **Start**, then export as CSV, Excel, JSON or XML, or read the dataset through the API.

### Input example

```json
{
  "keywords": [
    "running shoes",
    "boots"
  ],
  "maxItemsPerQuery": 100,
  "sort": "best_seller"
}
```

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `keywords` | array | Search terms, one per line, as you would type them into Zappos's search box. |
| `startUrls` | array | Zappos search or product links, one per line, for example `https://www.zappos.com/search?term=running+shoes` or `https://www.zappos.com/p/.../product/10068154`. |
| `maxItemsPerQuery` | integer | The Actor pages through the results until it has this many products for each keyword or link. Default `100`. |
| `sort` | string | Order of the results. Default `"best_match"`. |
| `includeDetails` | boolean | Opens each product page and adds the description, all images and the available sizes and colours. Charged as a separate event per product. |
| `maxItems` | integer | Hard cap on products for the whole run. 0 means no cap. |

### FAQ

**Do I need a Zappos account or API key?**
No. It works without the Zappos API and without logging in.

**Is scraping Zappos legal?**
This is general information, not legal advice. The Actor collects only product information that zappos.com shows publicly to every visitor, and never logs in. Product listings are not personal data, but Zappos's terms restrict automated access, and how you use the data depends on the laws where you are. Use it for research, price monitoring and analysis, and ask a lawyer before building a commercial product on it.

**How many products can I get per keyword?**
As many as Zappos shows. The Actor follows the site's own pagination, up to 100 pages per keyword, and removes repeats.

**Are the prices the ones shown on the site?**
Yes, as shown to a visitor in the United States at the time of the run. Member prices, cart discounts and taxes at checkout are not included.

**Why are some products marked sponsored?**
Zappos sells positions in its results. The `sponsored` flag lets you keep or drop them.

**Can I run it on a schedule?**
Yes. Daily runs over the same keywords give you price and ranking history.
