## 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

## Etsy Shop Scraper

Scrapes product data from Etsy shops, search results, and individual listings. Feed it a shop URL, a search URL, or a direct listing link and get structured product data back in your Apify dataset.

### What it grabs

- Title, price, and currency
- Product description
- Image URLs
- Seller name and shop link
- Rating and review count
- Materials and category (when available)

It parses LD+JSON structured data first (more reliable) and falls back to HTML selectors when needed.

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `start_urls` | array | yes | - | One or more Etsy URLs: shop, search, or listing pages |
| `max_items` | integer | no | 100 | Cap on total listings to scrape (1-10000) |
| `include_reviews` | boolean | no | false | Extract individual review text |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "start_urls": [
    { "url": "https://www.etsy.com/shop/SomeShopName" }
  ],
  "max_items": 50,
  "include_reviews": false
}
```

### How it works

1. Classifies each start URL as a shop page, search results page, or listing page.
2. For shop/search pages: collects listing URLs, then follows pagination.
3. For each listing page: extracts structured data from LD+JSON and HTML.
4. Pushes each product to the dataset and charges per item (PPE model).

### Output

Each dataset item has these fields: `url`, `title`, `price`, `currency`, `description`, `images`, `seller_name`, `seller_url`, `rating`, `reviews_count`, `materials`, `category`.

### Running locally

```bash
cd etsy-shop-scraper
pip install -r requirements.txt
PYTHONPATH="" apify run
```

### Running on Apify

Push this project to Apify and run the actor from the console or via API. The input schema provides a form UI for configuring the run.

### Limitations

- Etsy may serve CAPTCHAs or block heavy scraping. This actor makes standard HTTP requests without browser automation.
- Review text extraction is basic; Etsy loads reviews dynamically in many cases.
- Price detection uses regex as a fallback, which may misparse unusual formats.

# Actor input Schema

## `start_urls` (type: `array`):

One or more Etsy URLs to scrape. Supports shop pages (etsy.com/shop/ShopName), search pages (etsy.com/search?q=keyword), or individual listing pages (etsy.com/listing/123456).

## `max_items` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of product listings to scrape.

## `include_reviews` (type: `boolean`):

Whether to extract individual review text from listing pages.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "start_urls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.etsy.com/search?q=handmade+pottery"
    }
  ],
  "max_items": 100,
  "include_reviews": false
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "start_urls": [
        {
            "url": "https://www.etsy.com/search?q=handmade+pottery"
        }
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("ghostgrid/etsy-shop-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "start_urls": [{ "url": "https://www.etsy.com/search?q=handmade+pottery" }] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("ghostgrid/etsy-shop-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)
