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 ## README.md ### Abus Discovery Scraper #### Introduction The **Abus Discovery Scraper** is an Apify Actor designed to efficiently extract product information from the Abus website based on user-defined search queries. This tool provides high-quality, structured data that can be used for various analytical and business purposes. #### Features - **Automated Data Extraction**: Seamlessly scrape product details using customizable search parameters. - **High-Quality Data Output**: Reliable and accurate extraction of product names, URLs, categories, images, and color variants. - **Proxy Support**: Utilizes Apify Proxy to ensure anonymity and prevent IP blocking during scraping activities. - **Scalable Performance**: Capable of handling large volumes of data with configurable limits on the number of items scraped. - **User-Friendly Configuration**: Easy-to-use input parameters for customizing search queries and proxy settings. #### Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | Example | |----------------------|----------|----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------| | `searchQuery` | string | Yes | Enter the Search Keywords. | `"bike"` | | `maxItems` | integer | No | Maximum number of items to scrape. | `100` | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | No | Specifies proxy servers for hiding scraper origin, with default Apify Proxy. | `{ "useApifyProxy": true }` | #### Example Usage ##### Input JSON ```json { "searchQuery": "bike", "maxItems": 100, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } } ``` ##### Output JSON ```json [ { "product_name": "ADAPTOR CHAIN Superior 7KS/100 bike packing green", "product_url": "https://www.abus.com/int/Consumer/Bicycle-locks/Frame-Locks/ADAPTOR-CHAIN-Superior-7KS-100-bike-packing-green", "category": "Frame Locks", "image_url": "https://c1.abus.com/akg-pim-assets-01/Mobile%20Sicherheit/Kettenschloesser/ACH%20Superior/47334_ACH_SUPERIOR_bike_packing_green_SK_abus_640.png", "colors": [ { "name": "black", "hex": "#000000", "variant_url": "https://www.abus.com/int/Consumer/Bicycle-locks/Frame-Locks/ADAPTOR-CHAIN-Superior-7KS-100-black-bag-ST-5950-2.0" }, { "name": "blue", "hex": "#1665aa", "variant_url": "https://www.abus.com/int/Consumer/Bicycle-locks/Frame-Locks/ADAPTOR-CHAIN-Superior-7KS-100-metal-blue" }, { "name": "green", "hex": "#6cbd00", "variant_url": "https://www.abus.com/int/Consumer/Bicycle-locks/Frame-Locks/ADAPTOR-CHAIN-Superior-7KS-100-bike-packing-green" } ], "has_more_colors": null, "search_query": "bike", "page": 1, "source": "abus", "scraped_at": "2026-07-02T11:16:21.934Z" } ] ``` #### Use Cases - **Market Research and Analysis**: Gather comprehensive product data for competitive analysis. - **Competitive Intelligence**: Monitor competitor offerings and pricing strategies. - **Price Monitoring**: Track changes in product prices over time. - **Content Aggregation**: Compile detailed product information for content creation or marketing purposes. - **Academic Research**: Use structured data for research projects related to consumer goods. - **Business Automation**: Integrate with business processes for automated inventory management. #### Installation and Usage 1. Search for "Abus Discovery Scraper" in the Apify Store. 2. Click "Try for free" or "Run". 3. Configure input parameters as needed. 4. Click "Start" to begin extraction. 5. Monitor progress in the log. 6. Export results in your preferred format (JSON, CSV, Excel). #### Output Format The output is a JSON array containing objects with fields such as `product_name`, `product_url`, `category`, `image_url`, and `colors`. Each color object includes `name`, `hex` code, and `variant_url`. #### Rate Limiting and Best Practices - **Rate Limiting**: Ensure compliance with Abus's terms of service by configuring appropriate delays between requests. - **Best Practices**: Use Apify Proxy to distribute requests across multiple IP addresses and avoid being blocked. #### Error Handling Information The Actor logs errors encountered during the scraping process. Common issues include network failures or changes in the target website structure, which can be addressed by adjusting input parameters or updating selectors. #### Limitations and Considerations - **Website Changes**: The scraper may require updates if Abus alters its site layout. - **Proxy Configuration**: Ensure proxy settings are correctly configured to prevent IP blocking. ### Support For custom/simplified outputs or bug reports, please contact: - Email: support@getdataforme.com - Subject line: "custom support" - Contact form: [Contact Us](https://getdataforme.com/contact/) We're here to help you get the most out of this Actor! *** ## Description Discover product insights with ease using the **Abus Discovery Scraper**.
