Rockwell product scraper / Allen-Bradley API alternative — enrich catalog numbers with full PDP data: technical specifications, lifecycle status, document links, dimensions, and optional accessories. HTTP-only (no browser). Use from Python, Node.js, or MCP.

When to use this Actor

Use the Rockwell Product Scraper when you already have Allen-Bradley catalog numbers and need full product detail JSON — specs, lifecycle, literature links, and related products.

For bulk lifecycle screening only, use Rockwell Lifecycle Tracker first. For PDF downloads, use Rockwell Document Downloader. Chain after Rockwell Full Catalog Crawler to enrich discovered SKUs.

Key Features

• HTTP-only — Direct product-details API; no browser or proxy required for typical runs
• Full specs — Classification features normalized to name/value pairs
• Lifecycle data — Status, replacement URL, and successor catalog number
• Document links — Technical data, manuals, and drawings
• Accessories — Optional related products
• Bulk-friendly — Parallel requests with configurable concurrency

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-product-scraper').call({{ catalogNumbers: ['1756-L81E', '25B-E027N104'], includeAccessories: true, concurrencyLimit: 5 }});
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-product-scraper").call(
    run_input={{"catalogNumbers": ["1756-L81E", "25B-E027N104"], "includeAccessories": True, "concurrencyLimit": 5}}
)
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item.get("catalogNumber"), item.get("lifecycle"), item.get("title"))

cURL

curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/crawloop~rockwell-product-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"catalogNumbers":["1756-L81E","25B-E027N104"],"includeAccessories":true,"concurrencyLimit":5}'

MCP and AI assistants

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

Example prompts:

• "Run Rockwell Product Scraper for 1756-L81E and return catalogNumber, lifecycle, title, specifications"
• "Enrich these Allen-Bradley catalog numbers with specs and document links"
• "Chain Lifecycle Tracker then Rockwell Product Scraper for discontinued parts only"

Suite next step

For literature PDFs, use Rockwell Document Downloader. To parse TD PDFs into JSON specs, use Rockwell Datasheet Parser.
