Barcode Search Scraper

Scrapes product data from barcodelookup.com using a barcode number or a general search term. Returns detailed product listings including brand, manufacturer, and category information.

Key Features

• Flexible Search: Use a numeric barcode or a text query (e.g., "coffee cup").
• Detailed Data: Fetches product title, brand, manufacturer, category hierarchy, and image URL.
• Result Control: Configurable limit on the number of items returned.
• Pagination Support: Automatically navigates through multiple pages of search results.

How to Use

Provide a query (your barcode or search term) via the actor's input. Optionally, set maxItems to control the result count. The actor will scrape the site and return a structured JSON array of product objects.

• query (required): The barcode (e.g., 818288292563) or search term (e.g., cup) to look up.
• maxItems (optional): The maximum number of product items to return. Default is 10.

Example Input:

{
  "query": "cup",
  "maxItems": 20
}

Output

The actor outputs an array of objects, each containing the following fields for a product:

• barcode: The product's barcode number.
• title: The full product title.
• brand: The brand name (may be null).
• manufacturer: The manufacturer name.
• category: An array of category strings, from general to specific.
• image: URL of the product image.
• author: Author information, typically null for products.
• scrapedAt: ISO timestamp of when the data was scraped.
