## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

## Shoprite Parser Spider

The Shoprite Parser Spider is a powerful Apify Actor designed to extract detailed product information from Shoprite's online store. It efficiently scrapes product data such as titles, prices, images, and variants from specified URLs, enabling seamless data collection for various applications. This tool is ideal for businesses and researchers needing reliable, structured data from one of the leading grocery retailers in the US.

### Features

- **Comprehensive Data Extraction**: Captures key product details including breadcrumbs, titles, prices, unit prices, variants, images, and attributes.
- **Multi-URL Support**: Processes multiple product URLs in a single run for batch scraping.
- **Proxy Integration**: Utilizes residential proxies to ensure reliable access and avoid IP blocks.
- **Structured Output**: Delivers clean, JSON-formatted data ready for integration into databases or analysis tools.
- **High Performance**: Optimized for speed and efficiency, handling large volumes of data without compromising quality.
- **Error Resilience**: Built-in handling for common scraping challenges like dynamic content and rate limits.
- **Apify Ecosystem Compatibility**: Seamlessly integrates with Apify's platform for scheduling, monitoring, and exporting results.

### Input Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description | Example |
|-----------|------|----------|-------------|---------|
| Urls | array | Yes | A list of URLs to scrape product data from. Each URL should point to a specific Shoprite product page. | ["https://www.shoprite.com/sm/pickup/rsid/3000/product/00050000756223"] |
| proxy | object | No | Proxy configuration for the spider, including options to use Apify Proxy with residential groups and country selection. | {"useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "US"} |

### Example Usage

To run the Shoprite Parser Spider, provide input parameters in JSON format. Below is an example input:

```json
{
  "Urls": [
    "https://www.shoprite.com/sm/pickup/rsid/3000/product/00050000756223"
  ],
  "proxy": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "US"
  }
}
````

The Actor will output structured JSON data like this:

```json
[
  {
    "breadcrumbs": [
      "Beverages",
      "Coffee",
      "Coffee Creamers"
    ],

    "image": "https://assets.wakefern.com/is/image/wakefern/5000075622-001?$Mi9Product_zoom$",
    "add_to_cart": "Submit search query",
    "gallery_image": "https://assets.wakefern.com/is/image/wakefern/5000075622-001?$Mi9Product_detail$",
    "gallery_srcset": "https://assets.wakefern.com/is/image/wakefern/5000075622-001?$Mi9Product_cell$ 200w,https://assets.wakefern.com/is/image/wakefern/5000075622-001?$Mi9Product_detail$ 500w",
    "attributes": []
  }
]
```
