## 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

### What does iHerb Reviews Scraper do?

iHerb Reviews Scraper collects customer reviews from iHerb product pages and delivers them as structured data for product analysis, sentiment tracking, and market research. Provide a product URL or product ID, set a review limit, and the Actor returns ratings, review text, reviewer profiles, language and country context, and image attachments in a clean dataset.

### Why use iHerb Reviews Scraper?

- **Structured review datasets** - Collect ratings, review text, helpful votes, verified purchase status, reviewer badges, and profile activity fields without manual copy-paste.
- **Reviewer context included** - Each record carries reviewer country, language, badge level, review count, helpful count, image count, and profile image when available.
- **Multi-purpose output** - Export results to JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML for dashboards, BI tools, AI training, or competitive reports.
- **Duplicate-safe collection** - Duplicate review IDs and records missing core content are skipped automatically.
- **Image-aware collection** - Optionally limit results to reviews that include images.

### Usage Examples

#### Basic review extraction

Collect the first set of reviews from a product page:

```json
{
  "productUrl": "https://pk.iherb.com/pr/california-gold-nutrition-bee-propolis-2x-concentrated-extract-500-mg-90-veggie-caps/61839",
  "maxReviews": 20
}
```

#### Product ID only

Run with just the numeric product ID when you do not have a full URL:

```json
{
  "productId": "61839",
  "maxReviews": 100
}
```

#### Filtered by language and country

Collect English reviews from a specific country with the most helpful sort order:

```json
{
  "productUrl": "https://pk.iherb.com/pr/california-gold-nutrition-bee-propolis-2x-concentrated-extract-500-mg-90-veggie-caps/61839",
  "maxReviews": 50,
  "sortBy": "helpful",
  "languageCode": "en-US",
  "countryCode": "US"
}
```

#### Image-only reviews

Collect only reviews that include customer images:

```json
{
  "productUrl": "https://pk.iherb.com/pr/california-gold-nutrition-bee-propolis-2x-concentrated-extract-500-mg-90-veggie-caps/61839",
  "maxReviews": 30,
  "withImagesOnly": true
}
```

#### Messy URL with auto detection

The Actor extracts the product ID from URLs that contain extra query parameters or surrounding text:

```json
{
  "productUrl": "Check this link: https://www.iherb.com/pr/california-gold-nutrition-bee-propolis-2x-concentrated-extract-500-mg-90-veggie-caps/61839?rcode=ABC123&utm_source=test",

### Tips for Best Results

- Start with `maxReviews: 20` to validate the output shape before scaling up.
- Use `pageSize: 20` for stable runs. Increase gradually only when you need larger batches.
- Provide either `productUrl` or `productId`. Both are not required.
- Messy product URLs with extra query parameters or surrounding text are normalized automatically.
- Schedule regular runs to monitor sentiment shifts and compare review snapshots over time.
- Some fields may be empty when the source page does not publish that information. Check multiple results before assuming the Actor failed.

### Frequently Asked Questions

#### Does this Actor collect product listings?

No. This Actor collects product reviews only. For product data, use an iHerb product scraper.

#### How many reviews can I collect in one run?

Set `maxReviews` up to `10000`, or use `0` for no explicit limit.

#### Can I use messy product URLs?

Yes. The Actor auto-detects the product ID from URLs with extra query parameters, tracking codes, or surrounding text.

#### Why are some fields missing for certain reviews?

Not every review includes all optional metadata. Records contain only available values. Empty and null fields are removed from the output.

#### Can I filter reviews by language or country?

Yes. Use `languageCode` and `countryCode` to narrow results by locale.

#### Can I sort reviews by rating or date?

Yes. Use `sortBy` with values such as `mostRecent`, `oldest`, `helpful`, `highestRating`, or `lowestRating`.

#### Do I need both product ID and product URL?

No. Either one is enough. When both are provided, `productId` takes priority.

#### Where are run statistics stored?

Run-level metrics are saved in the default key-value store under the key `statistics`.
