# Sephora Catalog Price & Rating Finder

Use this skill to fetch Sephora data with the Apify Actor `dataspryva/sephora-catalog-price-and-rating-finder` and work with the returned rows.

## Before running

1. Check that `APIFY_TOKEN` is set in the environment. Never print it or write it to a file.
2. Build `input.json` from the user's request using the fields below. Keep limits small for a first run.
3. Confirm the search terms or URLs with the user if the request is ambiguous.

## Input fields

| Field | Type | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `mode` | string, required | What to fetch: keyword search, category or brand browse, product URLs, bestsellers, new arrivals, sale, reviews or questions. |
| `searchQueries` | array | Keywords to search (mode=search). Enter one or more terms, e.g. `moisturizer`, `vitamin c serum`. |
| `categories` | array | Category slugs, `cat...` IDs or Sephora category URLs (mode=category, bestsellers, newArrivals, sale; also a filter in search). Empty browse modes use the six top-level categories. |
| `brands` | array | Brand names, slugs or Sephora brand URLs (mode=brand; also an optional filter in other listing modes). Example: `Rare Beauty` or `/brand/rare-beauty-by-selena-gomez`. |
| `productUrls` | array | Sephora product URLs or `P...` IDs (mode=product, reviews, questions). A `?skuId=` in the URL selects that variant. |
| `market` | one of `us`, `ca-en`, `ca-fr` | Storefront and currency: United States (USD), Canada English (CAD) or Canada French (CAD). |
| `sortBy` | one of `relevance`, `bestSelling`, `topRated`, `priceLowToHigh`, `priceHighToLow`, `newArrivals` | Result ordering for listing modes. Bestsellers and sale default to best selling; new arrivals default to newest. |
| `includeNewOnly` | boolean | Only include products Sephora flags as new. |
| `includeBestsellersOnly` | boolean | Only include products flagged as bestsellers in listing modes. Not available in product-URL mode. |
| `saleOnly` | boolean | Only include products currently discounted by Sephora. |
| `refinements` | array | Optional Sephora facet values, e.g. `filters[skinType]=drySk` or `filters[ingredientPreferences]=crueltyFree`. Up to 20. |
| `includeDetails` | boolean | Fetch descriptions, ingredients, highlights, variants, stock, category path and brand information for every product in listing modes. Product-URL mode always includes details. |
| `includeImages` | boolean | Copy product images into the run's key-value store so the image links stay publicly accessible. |
| `maxImagesPerProduct` | integer | Maximum number of product images to keep and rehost for each product. |

Example `input.json` (the Actor's published prefill):

```json
{
  "mode": "search",
  "searchQueries": [
    "moisturizer"
  ],
  "market": "us",
  "sortBy": "relevance",
  "includeNewOnly": false,
  "includeBestsellersOnly": false,
  "saleOnly": false,
  "includeDetails": false,
  "includeImages": false,
  "maxImagesPerProduct": 3,
  "includeReviews": false,
  "maxReviewsPerProduct": 20,
  "reviewsSort": "mostHelpful",
  "includeReviewStats": false,
  "includeQuestions": false,
  "maxQuestionsPerProduct": 10,
  "maxItems": 1,
  "maxItemsPerQuery": 0,
  "onlyNewProducts": false,
  "stateKey": "default",
  "resetState": false,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
```

## Run

```bash
curl -sS -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/dataspryva~sephora-catalog-price-and-rating-finder/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d @input.json > results.json
```

The call waits for the run to finish and returns the dataset items as a JSON array. If the run needs more than 300 seconds the API answers with HTTP 408; then start the run with `POST /v2/acts/dataspryva~sephora-catalog-price-and-rating-finder/runs`, poll `GET /v2/actor-runs/{runId}` until `SUCCEEDED`, and read `GET /v2/datasets/{defaultDatasetId}/items`.

## Output

Each item is one record. Published fields include: `productId`, `brandName`, `displayName`, `rating`, `reviews`, `price`, `priceMin`, `priceMax`, `salePrice`, `inStock`, `variantsCount`, `market`, `productUrl`, `recordType`, `reviewId`, `productName`, `title`, `author`, `submittedAt`, `isVerifiedPurchase`.

Summarise what was found, cite the record URLs when present, and say how many items came back. Do not invent values for empty fields.
