## 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

## Fnac Product Scraper

Extract Fnac.com (French electronics, books & entertainment retailer) product
data at scale — **price, stock, GTIN/SKU, and full per-seller marketplace
offers** — by keyword search or direct product URL. Returns clean, structured
JSON ready for spreadsheets, dashboards, or your pricing system.

Unlike other Fnac scrapers, this actor is **self-contained**: no external
paid unblocking subscription (e.g. scrape.do) is required to get real
results — the actor solves Fnac's anti-bot challenge itself.

### Who it's for

- **Price/repricing & competitive intelligence teams** — track Fnac's own
  price and every marketplace seller's competing offer (price, condition,
  seller) on the same product, from a simple keyword search.
- **Marketplace sellers on Fnac** — monitor buy-box position and rival offers
  on your own listings.
- **E-commerce / brand & merchandising teams** — catalog, ratings, assortment,
  and category structure.
- **Researchers** — French retail market structure and pricing studies.

### High-value use cases

- **Competitive price monitoring** — schedule daily runs on key products or
  keywords and diff prices, availability, and marketplace offers over time.
- **Buy-box / seller competition tracking** — see every seller's price and
  condition for a product in one row, no need to already know product IDs.
- **Catalog & assortment tracking** — pull a keyword's full result set to see
  what's listed, rated, and in stock.
- **Product enrichment** — turn a list of product URLs into full structured
  records with specs and images for your PIM/CRM.

    "maxPagesPerQuery": 2,
    "fetchOffers": true
}
```

### Example output

```json

    "brand": "Apple",
    "price": 1229.0,

    "num_offers": 15,
    "offers": [
        { "seller": "FNAC.COM", "seller_type": "fnac", "condition": "new", "price": 1229.0 },

    ],
    "url": "https://www.fnac.com/a21960880/..."
}
```

### Scheduling & integrations

Run on a schedule (hourly/daily) and push results to Google Sheets, Make,
Zapier, S3, or your webhook using Apify's built-in integrations — ideal for
continuous price and marketplace-offer monitoring.

### Use with AI assistants (MCP)

Prefer to query Fnac live from Claude, Cursor, or your own agent? Use the
companion **Fnac MCP Server** actor, which exposes product search, detail
(with offers), autocomplete, and recommendations as Model Context Protocol
tools.

### FAQ

**Do I need my own proxy or API key?** No — the actor solves Fnac's
DataDome/Akamai challenge itself with a built-in stealth browser, using Apify
Residential proxies by default.

**Is the data fresh?** Every run pulls live pricing, stock, and marketplace
offers directly from Fnac at run time.

**Is the keyword search 100% reliable?** Fnac's search page sits behind its
strictest anti-bot tier and can occasionally return zero results on a given
attempt even with automatic retries — the actor retries with a fresh browser
session when this happens. Product detail lookups by URL or product ID (and
BOM-style batches of them) use a separate, consistently reliable channel and
are not affected.

**Why is this more reliable than other Fnac scrapers?** It doesn't depend on
a third-party paid unblocking subscription to function beyond a crippled free
tier, and it exposes the full per-seller marketplace offers array from a
simple keyword search — most rivals require already knowing the product ID.

**Is scraping legal?** The actor collects only publicly available product
data. You are responsible for complying with Fnac's terms and applicable
laws.

**Support?** Issues and requests are typically answered within a couple of
business days.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

Keywords to search on fnac.com (one search per keyword).

## `productUrls` (type: `array`):

Direct Fnac product URLs (or bare numeric product IDs) to fetch full detail for.

## `maxPagesPerQuery` (type: `integer`):

Search pages per keyword query (20 results per page).

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Global cap across all queries and URLs. The run stops once this many products are pushed.

## `fetchOffers` (type: `boolean`):

## `headless` (type: `boolean`):

Run the bootstrap browser headless. Leave true for production runs.

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