## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

**Etsy Store Scraper** is an Apify Actor that **scrapes every product listing from any Etsy store** — titles, prices, images, and seller details — using a **Camoufox** stealth browser with **residential proxies** to bypass anti-bot protection. Enter a shop name and get structured JSON with automatic pagination across the whole store, including ratings and review data where available.

### What Is Etsy Store Scraper?

Etsy Store Scraper is a cloud-based Etsy scraping API that crawls an entire shop by name. It simulates human behavior with random delays, masks its browser fingerprint, and handles dynamic content loading and multi-page shops automatically. Results land in a structured dataset, and a run summary is stored in the key-value store, so you can monitor exactly what was scraped.

### Key Features

- **Comprehensive Data Extraction** — product titles, descriptions, prices, images, and seller info
- **Anti-Detection Technology** — overcomes Etsy's bot protection using the Camoufox browser
- **Rich Media Collection** — extract all product images in high quality
- **Automatic Pagination** — handles multi-page shops; supports unlimited scraping with `maxItems: 0`
- **Residential Proxy Support** — built-in residential proxy for reliable scraping
- **Flexible Configuration** — adjustable item limits and proxy settings
- **Structured Output** — clean JSON data ready for analysis or integration
- **Pay-Per-Event Pricing** — transparent, usage-based pricing model

### Supported Product Data

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `title` | Product title |
| `sellerName` | Shop/seller name |
| `shopUrl` | Etsy shop URL |
| `price`, `currency` | Product price and currency |
| `images` | Product image URLs |
| `scrapedUrl` | Source listing URL |
| `scrapedAt` | Scrape timestamp |
| `status`, `error` | Per-item success/error status |

A run summary is also stored in the key-value store as the `OUTPUT` record.

### Use Cases

- **Market Research** — analyze product trends, pricing strategies, and seller performance
- **Price Monitoring** — track competitor pricing and automate repricing strategies
- **Catalog Building** — create comprehensive product databases for affiliate marketing
- **Inventory Tracking** — monitor product availability and seller inventory changes
- **Competitor Analysis** — compare product offerings and features

### Input Parameters

| `shopName` | string | Yes | — | Etsy shop name to scrape (e.g. `yesintelligent`) |
| `maxItems` | integer | No | `5` | Maximum number of items to scrape (0 = no limit) |
| `proxyConfig` | object | No | Residential, GB | Proxy configuration: `useApifyProxy`, `apifyProxyGroups`, `apifyProxyCountry` |

Example input:

```json
{
  "shopName": "yesintelligent",

```

### How to Use the Etsy Store Scraper

1. Open the [Actor page on Apify Store](https://apify.com/akash9078/etsy-store-scraper) and click **Start Actor**.
2. Enter the Etsy `shopName` you want to scrape.
3. Optionally set `maxItems` (0 for unlimited) and `proxyConfig`.
4. Run the Actor and download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the dataset.

#### Connect via API

cURL:

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/akash9078/etsy-store-scraper/runs" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"shopName":"yesintelligent","maxItems":50,"proxyConfig":{"useApifyProxy":true,"apifyProxyGroups":["RESIDENTIAL"],"apifyProxyCountry":"GB"}}'
```

Python:

```python
import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/akash9078/etsy-store-scraper/runs",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"},
    json={
        "shopName": "yesintelligent",
        "maxItems": 50,
        "proxyConfig": {"useApifyProxy": True, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "GB"},
    },
)
print(response.json())
```

Node.js with the [Apify Client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js):

```javascript
const { ApifyClient } = require('apify-client');

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });

const run = await client.actor('akash9078/etsy-store-scraper').call({
    shopName: 'yesintelligent',
    maxItems: 50,
    proxyConfig: { useApifyProxy: true, apifyProxyGroups: ['RESIDENTIAL'], apifyProxyCountry: 'GB' },
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);
```

### Etsy Store Scraper Pricing

This actor uses Apify's **Pay-Per-Event (PPE)** pricing model for transparent, usage-based costs:

| Event | Price | Description |
|-------|-------|-------------|
| `apify-actor-start` | $0.005 | Charged once when the Actor starts |
| `apify-default-dataset-item` | $0.002 | Charged for each product successfully scraped |
| `page-loaded` | $0.02 | Charged for each shop page loaded during pagination |

**Example Cost Calculation**

Scraping a shop with 200 products across 6 pages:

- Actor start: 1 × $0.005 = **$0.005**
- Pages loaded: 6 × $0.02 = **$0.12**
- Products scraped: 200 × $0.002 = **$0.40**
- **Total: $0.525**

Users can set a **maximum spending limit** per run in the Apify Console. The actor automatically respects this limit and stops when reached.

### Why Use This Instead of Browsing Stores Manually?

| Capability | Etsy Store Scraper | Manual browsing |
|------------|--------------------|-----------------|
| Coverage | Full store with automatic pagination | Page by page |
| Anti-bot handling | Camoufox fingerprint masking + residential proxies | Blocked easily |
| Output | Structured JSON + run summary | Copy-paste |
| Limits | `maxItems: 0` for unlimited | Time-bound |
| Spending control | Max charge limit respected automatically | None |

### Limitations

- Scrapes one shop per run, by shop name
- Minimum memory is 512 MB (auto-scales based on requirements)
- UK-based residential proxies are recommended for `etsy.com/uk` URLs
- Shops with anti-scraping enabled may return no products
- Pagination speed is deliberately rate-limited to avoid detection

#### For Developers

1. **Local testing with PPE**: `ACTOR_TEST_PAY_PER_EVENT=true npm start`
2. **View charging log locally**: `ACTOR_TEST_PAY_PER_EVENT=true ACTOR_USE_CHARGING_LOG_DATASET=true npm start` — the charging log appears in `storage/datasets/charging_log/`
3. **Backward compatibility**: the actor supports both PPE (Pay-Per-Event) and PPR (Pay-Per-Result) pricing models automatically
4. **Respect user limits**: the `Actor.charge()` method automatically enforces user-configured spending limits
5. **Idempotency**: each charge is idempotent when using the Apify SDK

### Error Responses

| Issue | Solution |
|-------|----------|
| "Could not load shop page" | Verify the shop name exists; check the proxy configuration |
| No products found | Shop may be empty or have anti-scraping enabled |
| Timeout errors | Increase `maxItems` or use better proxies |
| High costs | Set a max charge limit in the Console |

Failed items are written to the dataset with `status: "error"` and an error message, and are visible in the dedicated errors view.

### FAQ

#### How do I scrape an entire store?

Set `maxItems: 0` — the scraper paginates through the whole shop automatically while respecting rate limits.

#### Which proxies should I use?

Keep `proxyConfig` on Apify residential proxies. UK-based residential proxies (`apifyProxyCountry: "GB"`) are recommended for scraping UK Etsy sites (`etsy.com/uk`).

#### How much does a store scrape cost?

Pricing is pay-per-event: $0.005 per actor start, $0.002 per successfully scraped product, and $0.02 per page loaded — see the pricing section for a worked example.

#### Can I control spending?

Yes — set a maximum spending limit per run in the Apify Console; the actor stops automatically when the limit is reached.

#### How should I start with a big shop?

Test with a small `maxItems` (e.g. 10) before large scrapes, and run during off-peak hours for better reliability.
