## 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

### What does Menards Product Scraper do?

**Menards Product Scraper** extracts detailed product data from [Menards](https://www.menards.com) product pages. Give it a list of Menards product URLs and it returns one record per product: name, SKU, model number, brand, descriptions, price, list price, sale price, rebate, availability, store inventory, images, bullet points and the full specifications. It works as a simple **Menards product API alternative** that you can schedule and call from your own tools.

### Why scrape Menards products?

- **Price monitoring:** track price, list price, sale price and rebates over time.
- **Stock tracking:** see availability, the stock message and the store inventory count.
- **Catalog data:** collect SKUs, model numbers, brands, bullets and specifications for comparison or enrichment.
- **Apify platform benefits:** schedule runs, start them through the API, export the data in several formats, connect it to other tools and use proxy rotation without managing anything yourself.

### What data can Menards Product Scraper extract?

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `url` | string | Product page URL |
| `timestamp` | string | When the page was scraped |
| `success` | boolean | Whether the product data was found |
| `itemId`, `sku`, `modelNumber` | number / string | Menards item ID, SKU and manufacturer model number |
| `name`, `brand` | string | Product name and brand |
| `description`, `longDescription` | string | Short and long product description |
| `image`, `images` | string / array | Main image and all image URLs |
| `bullets` | array | Feature bullet points |
| `specifications` | object | Product specifications as name/value pairs |
| `price`, `listPrice`, `salePrice` | number | Current, list and sale price |
| `priceCurrency`, `priceValidUntil` | string | Currency and the date the price is valid until, if given |
| `rebateAmount` | number | Rebate amount |
| `availability`, `stockMessage` | string | Availability status and stock message |
| `storeInventory`, `availableAt`, `soldOut` | number / boolean | Store inventory count, store ID and sold-out flag |
| `familyName`, `departmentName` | string | Product family and department |
| `weight` | number | Product weight |

### How to scrape Menards products

1. Open the Actor on Apify and go to the **Input** tab.
2. Add one or more Menards product page URLs under **Start URLs**.
3. Keep the default proxy setting (Apify residential proxy, US).
4. Click **Start**.
5. When the run finishes, open the **Output** tab to view the products or download them.

### How much will it cost to scrape Menards?

You pay for the Apify platform usage of the run. A product page takes only a few seconds, so small runs are cheap. See the pricing information on this Actor's page for the current model.

### Input

See the **Input** tab for all options.

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `startUrls` | array, required | Menards product page URLs, each as `{"url": "..."}` |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Proxy settings, residential (US) by default |

Example:

```json
{
    "startUrls": [
        { "url": "https://www.menards.com/main/grocery-home/furniture/office-desks/uncaged-ergonomics-reg-black-swivel-desk-stand-kit/slsps-black/p-4420330306965420-c-12676.htm" }
    ],
    "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" }
}
```

### Tips

- Use full product page URLs copied from Menards.
- One URL gives one product record, so the number of records equals the number of URLs that load.
- Keep the US residential proxy setting; Menards is a US site.

### FAQ, disclaimers and support

**Is it legal to scrape Menards?** Our Actors are ethical and do not extract any private user data, such as email addresses, gender or location. They only extract what the user has chosen to make public on Menards. Always make sure your use of the data complies with Menards' terms and the laws that apply to you.

**A record has `success: false` or is missing.** The page may not be a product page or was blocked. Check the URL and run again. If it keeps happening, open an issue on the **Issues** tab with the run link.

**Can I use it through the API?** Yes, see the **API** tab of this Actor.

### Item limit

Set `item_limit` (default 10, `0` = no limit) to cap the number of product URLs per run.

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Menards product page URLs to scrape. The product id is taken from the `p-<id>-c-<id>.htm` part of the URL.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Proxy servers used to rotate the scraper's IP. The Menards API rate-limits per IP and starts returning an HTML block page after a few requests in a row, so US residential proxies are recommended for anything but a handful of URLs.

## `item_limit` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of product URLs to scrape per run. 0 means no limit.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.menards.com/main/grocery-home/furniture/office-desks/uncaged-ergonomics-reg-black-swivel-desk-stand-kit/slsps-black/p-4420330306965420-c-12676.htm"
    }
  ],
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "US"
  },
  "item_limit": 10
}
```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,getdataforme/menards-profile-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
