Rockwell catalog crawler — discover Allen-Bradley hardware catalog numbers by walking family pages and paginating the product-details API. Build SKU inventories for procurement databases, then enrich with Lifecycle Tracker / Product Scraper. HTTP-only; use from Python, Node.js, or MCP.

When to use this Actor

Use the Rockwell Full Catalog Crawler when you need to discover Allen-Bradley catalog numbers across family / PIM categories (large unique SKU sets after deduplication).

For full PDP specifications on a known list, use Rockwell Product Scraper. For bulk lifecycle screening only, use Rockwell Lifecycle Tracker.

Key Features

• Family / PIM discovery — Enumerate categories and paginate product lists
• Live API rows — Catalog numbers fetched from product-details servlet
• Deduped output — Optional deduplication of discovered SKUs
• Lifecycle hints — Brand, series, document counts when present
• HTTP-only — No browser required

Input Parameters

Parameter	Description	Default
discoveryMode	Discovery strategy (e.g. full_sitemap, pim_ids).	full_sitemap
pimCategoryIds	Optional PIM category IDs for targeted discovery.	—
maxFamilyPages	Max family pages (0 = until exhausted in some modes).	3
deduplicateOutput	Deduplicate catalog numbers in output.	true

Integration examples

Node.js

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('crawloop/rockwell-full-catalog-crawler').call({{ discoveryMode: 'pim_ids', pimCategoryIds: ['PIM_vfd/25b-powerflex-525,PIM_PF525'], maxFamilyPages: 0, deduplicateOutput: true }});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items.slice(0, 5));

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(token)
run = client.actor("crawloop/rockwell-full-catalog-crawler").call(
    run_input={{"discoveryMode": "pim_ids", "pimCategoryIds": ["PIM_vfd/25b-powerflex-525,PIM_PF525"], "maxFamilyPages": 0, "deduplicateOutput": True}}
)
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item.get("catalogNumber"), item.get("title"), item.get("lifecycle"))

MCP and AI assistants

Use this Actor from AI tools via Apify MCP. Connect your Apify account, then call crawloop/rockwell-full-catalog-crawler.

Example prompts:

• "Run Rockwell Full Catalog Crawler for PowerFlex 525 PIM ids and return catalogNumber, title, lifecycle"
• "Discover Allen-Bradley SKUs for a product family and summarize counts by lifecycle"
• "Chain Full Catalog Crawler then Rockwell Lifecycle Tracker for obsolescence screening"

Suite next step

Screen discovered SKUs with Rockwell Lifecycle Tracker, then enrich with Rockwell Product Scraper.
