## 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

**Home Depot Scraper** creates a structured dataset of Home Depot product records collected from category, brand, and search result pages. Each dataset item can include the product name, brand, model and SKU numbers, price and discount fields, rating and review counts, images, category hierarchy, and location-specific availability. Query the source using start URLs or search terms, control the result limit with `maxItems`, and retrieve records through the Apify Dataset API or export them as JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML.

### Dataset at a glance

| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Source | homedepot.com |
| Record unit | One product |
| Input methods | Start URLs, search queries, store ID, delivery ZIP |
| Main identifiers | `itemId`, `url`, `modelNumber` |
| Delivery | Apify Dataset and API |
| Export formats | JSON, CSV, Excel, XML |
| Update model | Fresh records per Actor run |
| Pricing | Pay per event, $15 per 1,000 products |

### Coverage and available records

The Actor collects product records from:

- **Category and brand pages** passed as `startUrls`.
- **Search result pages** from `searchQueries`, with an optional `sort` order.

Records include pricing and fulfillment information that varies by store and delivery ZIP. Setting `storeId` pins a store number for pricing and stock; otherwise the nearest store is used. `deliveryZip` supplies a ZIP for delivery estimates. `includeRawData` optionally attaches the full unprocessed source object under `rawData`. Home Depot blocks non-US and datacenter traffic, so a US residential proxy is required.

### Example dataset record

```json
{
  "itemId": "203672257",
  "parentId": "334489230",
  "name": "5 in. Red Polyurethane and Steel Swivel Plate Locking Caster Wheel with 330 lb. Load Rating",
  "url": "https://www.homedepot.com/p/.../203672257",
  "brand": "Everbilt",
  "modelNumber": "4120945EB",
  "storeSkuNumber": "194925",
  "price": 20.97,
  "originalPrice": 20.97,
  "currency": "USD",
  "rating": 4.6141,
  "reviewsCount": 495,
  "category": "Casters",
  "categoryHierarchy": ["Furniture", "Furniture Accessories & Replacement Parts", "Casters"],
  "hasVariants": true,
  "isSpecialBuy": false,
  "availabilityType": "Shared"
}
```

The record above was produced by a search for `cordless drill` with a US residential proxy.

### Query and input reference

| Input | Type | Required | Default | Accepted values | Description |
|---|---:|---|---|---|---|
| `startUrls` | array | No | `[]` | Home Depot category/brand/search URLs | URLs to scrape |
| `searchQueries` | array | No | `[]` | Search terms | Search terms to look up |
| `maxItems` | integer | No | `48` | `0` = all | Maximum products across all inputs |
| `sort` | string | No | `topsellers` | `topsellers`, `relevance`, `price_asc`, `price_desc`, `rating` | Result sort order |

Minimal request:

```json
{
  "searchQueries": ["cordless drill"],
  "maxItems": 48
}
```

Advanced request:

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.homedepot.com/b/Tools-Hand-Tools-Hammers/N-5yc1vZc98g" }
  ],
  "searchQueries": ["cordless drill"],
  "sort": "topsellers",
  "storeId": "1402",
  "deliveryZip": "30339",
  "maxItems": 200,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "US"
  }
}
```

### Retrieve the data through the API

1. Start the Actor with a JSON input containing `startUrls` and/or `searchQueries`.
2. Wait for the run to finish.
3. Read records from the run's default dataset.
4. Paginate or export the dataset.

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("datascrapers/homedepot-scraper").call(
    run_input={
        "searchQueries": ["cordless drill"],
        "maxItems": 48,
        "proxyConfiguration": {"useApifyProxy": True, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]},
    }
)
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["itemId"], item["name"], item.get("price"))
```

Apify's generated API tab documents the equivalent calls for other languages.

### Data quality and record handling

- **Completeness** — most fields are nullable; `itemId`, `name`, and `url` are always present.
- **Location dependence** — `price`, `promotionName`, and availability fields vary by store and delivery ZIP.
- **Deduplication** — the Actor does not deduplicate across runs; use `itemId` as the stable key for downstream deduplication.
- **Retry/error behavior** — products that cannot be resolved are skipped; the run continues.
- **Normalization** — prices are numbers in USD; ratings are numeric averages.

### Export and pipeline examples

| Destination | Recommended method | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| PostgreSQL/Supabase | Dataset API or webhook consumer | Product and price history |
| Google Sheets | Apify integration | Competitive price tracking |
| S3/cloud storage | Scheduled export or integration | Catalog snapshots |

### Pricing and cost examples

Billing is **pay per event**: each product record pushed to the dataset is one charge. Platform compute is included in the actor usage fee.

| Records | Estimated base cost |
|---:|---:|
| 1,000 | $15.00 |
| 10,000 | $150.00 |
| 100,000 | $1,500.00 |

Estimates depend on the verified pricing model and the number of products you request.

### Limitations and responsible data use

- Only publicly accessible Home Depot product data is returned.
- Pricing and stock are location-specific and can change between stores and ZIP codes.
- Fields may be missing or conditional depending on the product.
- No historical snapshots are stored unless you keep them yourself.
- You are responsible for complying with Home Depot's terms and applicable laws.

### Dataset questions

#### What does one dataset item represent?

One Home Depot product record.

#### Which field should I use as a unique identifier?

Use `itemId`, the Home Depot item identifier.

#### Are fields nullable or conditional?

Yes. Only `itemId`, `name`, and `url` are always present; pricing, ratings, and availability fields are conditional.

#### Can I retrieve the records as CSV or JSON?

Yes. Export the default dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML, or read it through the Apify Dataset API.

#### How do I paginate large datasets?

Set `maxItems` to cap output, or paginate the dataset through the Dataset API.

#### What counts as a billable result?

Each product record pushed to the dataset is one event charge.
