## 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

## Teepublic Scraper

**Teepublic Scraper** is a lightweight and efficient service designed to extract product data from Teepublic URLs. This service is perfect for developers, marketers, and businesses seeking to automate data collection from Teepublic for analysis, inventory management, or market research.

### Features

- **Simple Input**: Provide a list of Teepublic product URLs to scrape.
- **Detailed Output**: Extracts product titles, prices, and all associated images.
- **Durable and Trustworthy**: The first and only service on Apify specifically designed for Teepublic product data scraping, ensuring reliability and robustness.

### Input Format

The input is a JSON object containing a list of Teepublic product URLs.

#### Example:

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/12345678"
  ]
}
```

### Output Format

The output is a JSON array with the extracted product information, including the product title, image URLs, and price.
If you need additional data fields, please get in touch, and I will update the service accordingly.

#### Example:

```json
[
  {
    "title": "Funny Cat Meme T-Shirt - Perfect Gift for Cat Lovers",
    "images": [
      "https://images.teepublic.com/t-shirt-12345678-1.jpg",
      "https://images.teepublic.com/t-shirt-12345678-2.jpg",
      // Additional images here
    ],
    "price": "$20.00"
  }
]
```

### Better Memory Performance

By default, the service uses 4GB of memory. You can enable higher memory usage by adding a query parameter to the API URL.
For example, to increase the maximum to 32GB:

```
https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/excavator~teepublic-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>&memory=32768
```

By default, up to 10 URLs are processed simultaneously. You can increase this limit for faster processing, but it may require more memory. The chunk setting divides the list of URLs into smaller groups for processing. Larger chunks allow more URLs to be processed in parallel, but they can increase memory usage and risk slowdowns.

#### Example Configuration:

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/12345678"
  ],
  "concurrency": 20,
  "chunk": 200
}
```

- `chunk`: 200 — The input URLs are divided into chunks of 200 URLs each, processed by multiple threads.
- `concurrency`: 20 — Within each chunk, up to 20 URLs are processed simultaneously.

#### Default Performance Metrics:

Processing 1,000 URLs typically takes ~60 seconds and uses ~4.4GB of memory. To handle more URLs at a time, you may need to increase your available RAM.
