## 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

## Greetz Scraper

Scrapes greeting cards, gifts, flowers, and chocolates from greetz.nl -- the Netherlands' largest online greeting card platform.

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `startUrls` | Array | No | Greetz.nl category or listing URLs |
| `searchQuery` | String | No | Search keyword (e.g., "verjaardag", "kerst") |
| `maxResults` | Integer | No | Max items (default: 100) |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Proxy settings |

If nothing is provided, defaults to searching "verjaardag" (birthday).

### Output

| Field | Type | Example |
|-------|------|---------|
| `name` | String | `"Verjaardagskaart met confetti"` |
| `brand` | String | `"Greetz"` |
| `price` | Number | `3.95` |
| `originalPrice` | Number | `4.95` |
| `currency` | String | `"EUR"` |
| `sku` | String | `"GRZ-12345"` |
| `productId` | String | `"12345"` |
| `rating` | Number | `4.2` |
| `imageUrl` | String | Card/product image |
| `description` | String | Product description |
| `category` | String | `"Verjaardagskaarten"` |
| `url` | String | Product page URL |

### How it works

Greetz is built on Next.js. The scraper first tries to extract product data directly from the `__NEXT_DATA__` script tag on listing pages -- this is the fastest path and avoids visiting each product page individually. When that's not available, it falls back to following product links and scraping detail pages.

Product categories on Greetz include `/kaarten/` (cards), `/cadeaus/` (gifts), `/bloemen/` (flowers), `/ballonnen/` (balloons), `/chocolade/`, and `/wijn/`.

### Cost

About **$0.20 per 1,000 products** when using `__NEXT_DATA__` extraction, more when visiting detail pages.

### Notes

- Dutch-language site. All content is in Dutch.
- Pagination uses both `rel="next"` links and `?page=N` parameter fallback.
- Birthday cards are the most popular category. Try "moederdag" (Mother's Day) or "kerst" (Christmas) for seasonal items.

# 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 = {
    "searchQuery": "verjaardag"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("studio-amba/greetz-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();
