Net-A-Porter Scraper

This Apify Actor scrapes product data from Net-A-Porter.
It navigates through listing pages (with pagination) and then visits each product’s detail page to extract key information such as:

• Designer
• Product Name
• Price
• Color
• Product Code

Features

• Scraping of both listing pages and product detail pages.
• Automatic pagination based on the pagination_max parameter.
• Limitation on the total number of scraped products via the products_max parameter.
• Use of proxies (Apify) to reduce the risk of blocking.

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description	Default Value
startUrls	array	Start URLs for scraping.	["https://www.net-a-porter.com/fr-fr/shop/chaussures"]
pagination_max	integer	Maximum number of pages to scrape.	5
products_max	integer	Maximum number of products to scrape.	50
proxyConfiguration	object	Proxy configuration for scraping (using Apify proxies is recommended).	{ "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] }

Output

The Actor generates a JSON dataset containing, for each product, an object similar to:

{ "url": "https://www.net-a-porter.com/fr-fr/shop/product/gianvito-rossi/...", "designer": "GIANVITO ROSSI", "productName": "Flat shoes with pointed toe in suede", "price": "690", "color": "Black", "productCode": "1647597357846081" }

Additional Explanations

• Pagination and Limitation:
  The routes.js file checks on each listing page if the page number (defined via the pageNumber parameter in the URL) is less than pagination_max and adds the next page. Additionally, before adding a product detail page for processing, it verifies that the total number of scraped products does not exceed products_max.

• Page Differentiation:
  The logic in handleRequest determines whether the URL corresponds to a listing page or a detail page. On listing pages, product detail links are extracted using the selector .ProductList0__productItemContainer a.

• Proxy Usage:
  The proxy configuration is managed via the proxyConfiguration parameter in the input schema and is applied when launching the crawler.
