Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Screwfix Scraper Apify Actor to scrape products from Screwfix websites (.com, .eu, .fr). ### Supported Sites | Site | Domain | Technology | Listing | Product Detail | |------|--------|-----------|---------|----------------| | UK | screwfix.com | Next.js | BFF API | Next.js JSON | | EU (Shopify) | shop.screwfix.eu | Shopify | HTML pages | HTML pages | | France | screwfix.fr | Magento | HTML pages | HTML pages | ### Features - **Listing scraping** — fetches product data from category listings - **Product page detail** — enriches with full specifications, content, variants - **Reviews** — Bazaarvoice reviews for .com products - **Q&A** — Bazaarvoice questions & answers for .com products - **Pay-per-event pricing** — product-listing, product-page, review, question-answer ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |-------|------|---------|-------------| | `start_urls` | array | required | Screwfix URLs (website, category, or product) | | `scrape_product_page` | boolean | false | Enrich with full product page detail | | `max_products` | integer | 48 | Maximum total products to scrape | | `max_products_per_category` | integer | 100 | Max products per category | | `max_reviews` | integer | 0 | Max reviews per product (0 = off) | | `max_question_answers` | integer | 0 | Max Q&A per product (0 = off) | | `max_categories` | integer | all | Max categories when scraping whole site | ### Example Start URLs ```` https://www.screwfix.com/ # whole UK site https://www.screwfix.com/c/tools/drills/cat830704 # UK category https://www.screwfix.com/p/dewalt-dcd778d2/420pu # UK product https://shop.screwfix.eu/en-be/ # whole EU site https://www.screwfix.fr/ # whole FR site ```` ### Output Fields Core fields output for every product: - `sku`, `name`, `description`, `brand` - `price`, `rrp`, `currency` - `link`, `imageUrl` - `category`, `breadcrumb`, `availability` Additional fields when `scrape_product_page` is enabled (.com): - `bullets`, `technicalSpecifications`, `content` - `images`, `videoUrl`, `skuVariants` - `collectionOnly`, `stockedInTc`, `fulfilmentAvailability` - `itemCondition`, `greenStarData`, `has360View`, `hazardous` - `productBadge`, `brandLogo`, `starRating`, `reviewCount` - `reviews`, `questionsAnswers` # Actor input Schema ## `start_urls` (type: `array`): Screwfix .com (UK), .eu (Shopify), or .fr (Magento).
