Bedbathandbeyond Parser Spider

Overview

This is an Apify Actor that runs a Scrapy spider to parse data from Bed Bath & Beyond. It's automatically generated and maintained from a central template repository. The actor is designed for e-commerce, real estate, and jobs data extraction.

Key Features

• Automated Deployment: The spider code, configuration, and input schema are automatically synchronized from a central repository when changes are made.
• Input Schema Generation: The actor's input parameters (defined in the spider's __init__ method) are automatically parsed to create a JSON input schema for the Apify platform.
• Integrated Configuration: Main execution script and actor metadata are updated to match the specific spider.
• Scrapy Framework: Built on Scrapy for robust and efficient web scraping.

How to Use

Run the actor on the Apify platform. Provide the required input parameters via the Apify console, API, or a scheduled run. The actor will execute the Scrapy spider with your configuration and return the extracted data.

Input

Configure the run using input parameters. These are defined by the spider's __init__ method and will appear as form fields in Apify. For example, a spider might accept:
* location (string, required): The target location for data parsing.
* item_limit (integer, default=100): Maximum number of items to scrape.
* county (string, default="Japan"): A specific county filter.

The exact parameters are auto-generated. Refer to the Input Schema tab in the Apify console for the specific fields required by this Bedbathandbeyond parser.

Output

The actor outputs items scraped by the spider (e.g., product details, listings, or job postings) into the Apify dataset associated with the run. You can then export this data in formats like JSON, CSV, or Excel via the Apify platform.

Technical Notes

• Repository Structure: The actor's code is maintained in src/spiders/. The main execution logic is in src/main.py.
• Dependencies: Python package requirements are listed in requirements.txt.
• Automation Source: This actor is updated via a GitHub Actions workflow in the central repository (getdataforme/central_repo). Changes to the spider file there trigger a sync to this actor repository.
