## 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

## Crown & Caliber Watch Scraper - Pre-Owned Luxury Watches

Scrape pre-owned luxury watch listings from the **Crown & Caliber** marketplace. Get clean, structured data for each watch: title, brand, model, reference number, price, condition, year, box & papers, images, and listing URL.

> **Note on the source:** Crown & Caliber's own shop (`crownandcaliber.com`) has become an editorial newsletter, and its storefront now redirects to **European Watch Company** (`europeanwatch.com`) — the live pre-owned luxury watch marketplace that carries the inventory. This Actor scrapes that live storefront, so you always get real, in-stock listings.

### Features

- 🔎 **Search by brand/model** — e.g. `rolex submariner`, `omega speedmaster`, `patek`, or browse the entire catalog
- 🏷️ **Structured fields** from each listing's schema.org Product data
- 💰 **Price, condition, availability** captured directly from the offer
- 📦 **Box & papers** and **year** parsed from the watch description
- 🖼️ **Full image gallery** URLs per watch
- ⚡ **Fast & reliable** — reads structured JSON-LD, no fragile CSS scraping

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `searchQueries` | array of strings | Brand/model terms to filter listings. All terms in a query must appear in the listing. Leave empty to browse the full catalog. |
| `maxResults` | integer | Max listings to scrape across all queries. `0` = unlimited. Default `50`. |
| `scrapeDetails` | boolean | Include each watch's full description text. Default `true`. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Optional proxy. Not required — the source serves clean data without anti-bot protection. |

#### Example input

```json
{
    "searchQueries": ["rolex submariner", "omega speedmaster"],
    "maxResults": 50,
    "scrapeDetails": true
}
```

To scrape everything, pass an empty `searchQueries` and set `maxResults` to `0`.

### Output

Each dataset item is one watch listing:

```json
{
    "name": "Rolex 114060 Submariner No Date SS Black Dial",
    "brand": "Rolex",
    "referenceNumber": "114060",
    "sku": "69241",
    "model": "114060 Submariner No Date SS Black Dial",
    "price": 12300,
    "priceCurrency": "USD",
    "condition": "Used",
    "availability": "InStock",
    "year": "2018",
    "boxAndPapers": "Box and papers",
    "hasBox": true,
    "hasPapers": true,
    "description": "The Rolex 114060 Submariner No Date...",
    "imageUrl": "https://images.europeanwatch.com/images/69/69241-1.jpg",
    "imageUrls": ["https://images.europeanwatch.com/images/69/69241-1.jpg", "..."],
    "listingUrl": "https://www.europeanwatch.com/watch/rolex-114060-...-69241",
    "query": "rolex submariner",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-07-03T12:00:00.000Z"
}
```

### Use cases

- Track pre-owned luxury watch prices and inventory
- Build watch price indexes and arbitrage tools
- Populate resale / collector dashboards and alerts
- Market research on Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Omega, and more

### Notes

- Data comes from each product page's schema.org `Product` markup (name, brand, mpn/reference, sku, price, condition, images).
- `year` and box/papers flags are inferred from the description text and may be `null` when not stated.
- Please scrape responsibly and comply with the target site's terms of service.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

Brand and/or model terms to filter listings, e.g. 'rolex submariner', 'omega speedmaster', 'patek'. All terms in a query must appear in the listing. Leave empty to browse the entire catalog.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of watch listings to scrape across all queries. Set to 0 for unlimited (all matching listings). Default is 50.

## `scrapeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Include each watch's full description text in the output. Year and box/papers are still parsed either way. Enabled by default.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Optional proxy settings. The target serves clean structured data without anti-bot protection, so no proxy is required; datacenter or residential proxies can be enabled here if desired.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "searchQueries": [
    "rolex submariner"
  ],
  "maxResults": 50,
  "scrapeDetails": true,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
