No warranty is given as to accuracy, completeness, or continued availability of third-party data. Use at your own risk.

Rockwell lifecycle scraper — bulk-check Allen-Bradley lifecycle status and replacement catalog numbers via the product-details API, without full specs or document scraping. Fast BOM obsolescence screening for Python, Node.js, and MCP.

When to use this Actor

Use the Rockwell Lifecycle Tracker when you have a large catalog number list and need lifecycle phase, discontinuation status, and successor SKUs — without full PDP data.

For complete specifications and document links, use Rockwell Product Scraper on a filtered subset (e.g. discontinued parts with replacements).

Key Features

• Lifecycle-only fields — Faster and cheaper than full PDP enrichment
• Successor mapping — Replacement catalog number and URL when published
• Bulk screening — Hundreds or thousands of SKUs per run
• HTTP-only — No browser required

Input Parameters

Parameter	Description	Default
catalogNumbers	Required. Allen-Bradley catalog numbers to check.	—
concurrencyLimit	Parallel SKU workers.	10

Input Example

{
  "catalogNumbers": ["1756-L81E", "25B-E027N104"],
  "concurrencyLimit": 10
}

{
  "catalogNumber": "1756-L81E",
  "lifecycle": "ACTIVE",
  "lifecyclePhase": "active",
  "isDiscontinued": false,
  "hasReplacement": false,
  "replacementCatalogNumber": null,

AI / MCP workflows	Run via Apify API, clients, or MCP

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-lifecycle-tracker').call({{ catalogNumbers: ['1756-L81E', '25B-E027N104'], concurrencyLimit: 10 }});
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-lifecycle-tracker").call(
    run_input={{"catalogNumbers": ["1756-L81E", "25B-E027N104"], "concurrencyLimit": 10}}
)
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item.get("catalogNumber"), item.get("lifecycle"), item.get("replacementCatalogNumber"))

cURL

curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/crawloop~rockwell-lifecycle-tracker/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"catalogNumbers":["1756-L81E","25B-E027N104"],"concurrencyLimit":10}'

MCP and AI assistants

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

Example prompts:

• "Run Rockwell Lifecycle Tracker for these catalog numbers and list discontinued with replacements"
• "Screen Allen-Bradley BOM for lifecyclePhase and hasReplacement"
• "Chain Lifecycle Tracker then Rockwell Product Scraper for discontinued SKUs only"

Suite next step

Enrich discontinued / successor SKUs with Rockwell Product Scraper. For PDF literature, use Rockwell Document Downloader.
