How to scrape supported list pages

This Actor accepts individual product links in productUrls. It accepts collection pages in categoryUrls.

1. Open a supported list page in your browser.
2. Open a collection you need.
3. Copy the final URL from the address bar and paste it into categoryUrls.

The Actor follows the products shown on that page.

Add one or more List URLs to scrape. categoryUrls is labelled List URLs in the Console and accepts collection pages.

Scrape Barnes & Noble Collection Pages

Pass a collection URL and the Actor collects the products listed in that collection. Example: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/pages/bestsellers

The scrapeProductDetails option (labelled Include product details) decides what each List URL produces. When it is enabled, the Actor visits each product page and returns the full detail records; when it is disabled, the Actor returns one list-level record per product card with the fields that are always included.

Features

• Scrapes detailed books, media, toys, games, and other retail product information from Barnes & Noble product pages
• Accepts individual product URLs and collection pages
• Lets you limit the number of saved products and choose whether to continue through additional result pages
• Returns structured current and regular prices, availability and ISBN, formats and variants, ratings and reviews, and product images for viewing, export, and analysis

Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. Its running costs are included.

• Actor start: $0.03 once per run — One fixed charge for starting a run.
• Result: $0.00099 each ($0.99 per 1,000) — A product record collected directly from a supported list page.
• Product detail: $0.00399 each ($3.99 per 1,000) — A full product record collected from its product page.

The start charge applies once per run. Each saved product is charged either as a Result or a Product detail, never both.
