An example Scrapy project wrapped as an Apify Actor. It scrapes book data (title, price, rating, availability) from books.toscrape.com and stores each book in the run's default dataset.

It shows how to run an existing Scrapy spider on the Apify platform β€” see Integrating Scrapy projects.

Run locally

This is a uv-managed project. You'll also need the Apify CLI.

uv sync# install dependencies into .venv/
apify run --purge# run as an Apify Actor (reads local INPUT.json)

It also still runs as a plain Scrapy project:

$uv run scrapy crawl book_spider -o books.json

Deploy to Apify

apify login # once, with your API token
apify push # build and deploy the Actor

Find your deployed Actor under Actors β†’ My Actors.
