## 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

## Iceland UK Grocery Scraper

Scrapes product search results from [Iceland Foods UK](https://www.iceland.co.uk).

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `queries` | string\[] | — | Search terms (e.g. `["frozen chips", "fish fingers"]`) |
| `maxResultsPerQuery` | integer | 20 | Max products per query |

### Output

Each result item:

```json
{
  "store": "iceland",
  "query": "frozen chips",
  "name": "Iceland Straight Cut Chips 1.5Kg",
  "brand": "Iceland",
  "price": 2.50,
  "unitPrice": 1.67,
  "unitPriceMeasure": "per kg",
  "unitSize": "1.5Kg",
  "onOffer": false,
  "offerDescription": null,
  "imageUrl": "https://...",
  "productUrl": "https://www.iceland.co.uk/...",
  "gtin": null,
  "scrapedAt": "2026-04-14T12:00:00.000Z"
}
```

### Notes

- No proxy required.
- GTINs (`gtin`) are not available from the Iceland website — always `null`.

# Actor input Schema

## `queries` (type: `array`):

List of product search queries (e.g. \["frozen chips", "fish fingers", "ice cream"])

## `maxResultsPerQuery` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of products to return per search query

## `algoliaApiKey` (type: `string`):

Override the default Algolia search-only API key. Use this if Iceland rotates their public client key — extract the new value from view-source:https://www.iceland.co.uk/ and pass it here without redeploying the actor.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "queries": [
    "frozen chips",
    "fish fingers",
    "ice cream"
  ],
  "maxResultsPerQuery": 10
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `products` (type: `string`):

Dataset of scraped Iceland product listings — each row contains name, brand, price, unitPrice, unitPriceMeasure, unitSize, onOffer, offerDescription, imageUrl, productUrl, gtin, and scrapedAt.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "queries": [
        "frozen chips",
        "fish fingers",
        "ice cream"
    ],
    "maxResultsPerQuery": 10
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("illehius/iceland-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "queries": [
        "frozen chips",
        "fish fingers",
        "ice cream",
    ],
    "maxResultsPerQuery": 10,
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("illehius/iceland-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "queries": [
    "frozen chips",
    "fish fingers",
    "ice cream"
  ],
  "maxResultsPerQuery": 10
}' |
apify call illehius/iceland-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,illehius/iceland-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).
