## 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

## OliveYoung Global Bestseller Scraper — K-Beauty in USD

Scrape bestsellers from [OliveYoung Global](https://global.oliveyoung.com) — the international store of Korea's #1 beauty retailer, serving K-beauty buyers in 150+ countries with English product names and USD prices.

Companion to our [Korean OliveYoung Ranking Scraper](https://apify.com/yohan.kim/oliveyoung-ranking-scraper): the KR actor shows what Koreans buy today; this one shows what the world buys — and the gap between the two is where the next global hit hides.

### What you get

For every bestseller across 14 categories: rank, brand, English product name, USD price and original price, discount percent, rating, review count, promo flags (BEST, HOT DEAL...), image URL, direct product URL, timestamp.

### Use cases

- **Amazon / e-commerce sellers** — spot which K-beauty SKUs are already validated with global buyers, with real USD price points.
- **Beauty brands** — competitive pricing and positioning in the global K-beauty channel.
- **Trend arbitrage** — cross-reference with the KR actor: products big in Korea but not yet on Global's bestseller list are import candidates.
- **Market research** — English-language K-beauty dataset, no translation step needed.

### Usage

```json
{
    "categories": ["Overall", "Skincare", "Makeup"],
    "maxItems": 0
}
```

Plain-HTTP scraper — fast, cheap, schedulable daily.

### Notes

- Only publicly visible product data is collected. Prices in USD.
- Source layout changes are monitored and fixed promptly — report issues in the Issues tab.
