## 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

## Grailed Scraper

Apify Actor for scraping Grailed.com designer fashion marketplace listings. Uses the Grailed Algolia search API for fast, reliable data extraction without browser rendering.

### Features

- Search Grailed listings by keyword (designer names, item types, styles)
- Filter by price range, department (menswear/womenswear), and condition
- Two modes: quick search results or full detail scraping via listing API
- Extracts designer names, prices, sizes, conditions, photos, and seller info
- Paginates through Algolia API results (up to 1000 listings per query)
- Detail mode fetches complete listing data including full descriptions and all photos

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `searchQueries` | string\[] | `["jordan 1"]` | Search terms to scrape |
| `maxListings` | integer | `100` | Max listings per query (0 = max available, up to 1000) |
| `scrapeDetails` | boolean | `false` | Fetch full details from listing API |
| `minPrice` | integer | - | Minimum price filter |
| `maxPrice` | integer | - | Maximum price filter |
| `department` | string | `""` | `menswear`, `womenswear`, or empty for all |
| `condition` | string | `""` | `is_new`, `is_gently_used`, `is_used`, `is_very_worn`, or empty for all |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | `{}` | Proxy settings (optional) |

#### Example Input

```json
{
    "searchQueries": ["rick owens ramones", "supreme box logo"],
    "maxListings": 50,
    "scrapeDetails": true,
    "minPrice": 100,
    "maxPrice": 500,
    "department": "menswear"
}
```

### Output

#### Search-only mode (`scrapeDetails: false`)

```json
{
    "listingId": 12345678,
    "title": "Rick Owens Ramones Low",
    "price": 350,
    "designer": "Rick Owens",
    "designerNames": ["Rick Owens"],
    "department": "menswear",
    "category": "footwear",
    "subcategory": "low-top-sneakers",
    "size": "43",
    "condition": "Gently Used",
    "imageUrl": "https://process.fs.grailed.com/...",
    "sold": false,
    "sellerUsername": "fashionseller",
    "url": "https://www.grailed.com/listings/12345678",
    "searchQuery": "rick owens ramones",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-03-17T12:00:00.000Z"
}
```

#### Detail mode (`scrapeDetails: true`)

Includes all search fields plus:

```json
{
    "description": "Rick Owens Ramones low-top sneakers in black...",
    "photos": [
        "https://process.fs.grailed.com/photo1.jpg",
        "https://process.fs.grailed.com/photo2.jpg"
    ],
    "photoCount": 5,
    "sellerLocation": "New York, NY",
    "sellerRating": 4.9,
    "sellerListingCount": 42,
    "createdAt": "2026-03-10T08:30:00.000Z",
    "updatedAt": "2026-03-15T14:20:00.000Z"
}
```

### How It Works

1. Queries the Grailed Algolia search API directly (no browser needed)
2. Builds Algolia POST requests with search terms, numeric filters, and facet filters
3. Paginates through results (100 per page, up to 10 pages = 1000 max per query)
4. Optionally fetches individual listing detail API for richer data
5. Uses CheerioCrawler for detail page requests (handles retries, proxies, concurrency)

### Technical Details

Grailed uses Algolia for its search infrastructure with publicly accessible API keys. This scraper calls the Algolia API directly for search, which is significantly faster and more reliable than scraping HTML. For detail pages, it uses the Grailed listing API endpoint.

### Quick Start

```bash
apify run --purge
```

### Deploy to Apify

```bash
apify login
apify push
```

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

List of search terms to scrape (e.g., 'jordan 1', 'rick owens ramones', 'supreme box logo'). Each query will produce a separate set of results.

## `maxListings` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of listings to scrape per search query. Algolia API returns up to 1000 results per query (100 per page, 10 pages max). Set to 0 for maximum available.

## `scrapeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

If enabled, fetches each listing's detail API endpoint for full description, all photos, and complete seller info. Slower but provides richer data including full description text and all photo URLs.

## `minPrice` (type: `integer`):

Minimum price filter in dollars. Uses Algolia numeric filters to only return listings at or above this price.

## `maxPrice` (type: `integer`):

Maximum price filter in dollars. Uses Algolia numeric filters to only return listings at or below this price.

## `department` (type: `string`):

Filter by department. Leave empty to search all departments.

## `condition` (type: `string`):

Filter by item condition. Leave empty to include all conditions.

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

Proxy settings. The Algolia API is generally accessible without proxies, but proxies may be useful for detail page scraping or to avoid rate limiting at scale.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "searchQueries": [
    "jordan 1"
  ],
  "maxListings": 100,
  "scrapeDetails": false,
  "department": "",
  "condition": "",
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
```

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).
