## 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.

# README

## Azerty Scraper

Scrape PC components and electronics from azerty.nl, a Dutch retailer specializing in GPUs, CPUs, motherboards, RAM, SSDs, monitors, and networking gear.

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `startUrls` | Array | No | Category or product URLs, e.g. `https://www.azerty.nl/componenten/videokaarten` |

| `maxResults` | Integer | No | Product limit (default: 100) |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Proxy settings |

Without input, the scraper browses the videokaarten (GPU) category.

```json
{
    "name": "MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ti GAMING X TRIO",
    "brand": "MSI",
    "price": 899.00,
    "currency": "EUR",
    "inStock": true,
    "specs": {
        "Chipset": "NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti",

    "scrapedAt": "2026-03-15T10:00:00.000Z"
}
````

### Technical details

- Product pages on azerty.nl have `/product/` in the URL
- JSON-LD `Product` data is the primary extraction source (including `@graph` arrays)
- HTML fallback for pages without JSON-LD uses `.product-price`, `.brand`, and `og:image`
- Specs table rows are parsed from `table.specifications` and `.product-specs`
- Dutch browser headers (`nl-NL`) are sent for correct locale

### Cost

CheerioCrawler. About **$0.10 per 1,000 products**.

### Why use Azerty Scraper

- **Price monitoring** — Track prices, stock, and promotions across Azerty at scale
- **Competitive intelligence** — Compare your catalog against Azerty pricing and assortment
- **Market research** — Analyze category trends, new arrivals, and rating distributions
- **Lead generation** — Build product datasets for affiliate sites, comparison tools, or feeds
- **No login or cookies required** — Authenticated access not needed; works out of the box

### How to use Azerty Scraper

1. Open the **Input** tab and provide a search query, category URL, or product list
2. Adjust optional filters such as `maxResults` or proxy settings
3. Click **Start** and wait for the run to complete
4. Download results from the **Output** tab in JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or HTML
5. Schedule recurring runs from the **Schedule** tab if you need ongoing data

### How to scrape Azerty data

This Actor automates the process of extracting structured product data from Azerty.
You can run it directly from the Apify console, the Apify API, or any of the
official SDKs (JavaScript, Python). The scraper handles pagination, retries, and
rate limiting so you can focus on the data, not the plumbing.

Typical workflows:

- **One-off export**: paste a category URL or keyword, set `maxResults`, and run
- **Scheduled monitoring**: set a daily cron in the Schedule tab to track prices over time
- **Programmatic integration**: trigger runs from your backend via the Apify API and
  pull the dataset when finished
- **Webhook automation**: receive a callback the moment a run completes and pipe
  the results into Zapier, Make, n8n, BigQuery, or Google Sheets

### Tips for best results

- **Start small** — run with `maxResults: 10` before launching large jobs
- **Use proxies** — residential proxies reduce blocking on protected sites
- **Throttle on big jobs** — keep `maxConcurrency` modest (5–10) for stability
- **Schedule runs** — daily runs are usually enough for price monitoring
- **Inspect the dataset schema** — the Storage tab shows the full output structure

### FAQ and support

**Is it legal to scrape Azerty?** This Actor extracts publicly available data.
Always review the website's Terms of Service before scraping at scale, and
respect rate limits.

**Why am I getting fewer results than expected?** Some categories have hidden
pagination or load more on scroll. Increase `maxResults` and verify your filters.

**Can I extract data for a single product?** Yes — provide the full product URL
in `startUrls` and the scraper will return one item.

**The site blocks me — what should I do?** Enable Apify residential proxies in
the input. Datacenter IPs are blocked by many e-commerce sites.

For issues, feature requests, or bug reports, open a ticket in the Issues tab on
the Actor page or contact support@apify.com. We monitor every actor and ship
fixes quickly when sites change.
