How to use it

1. Set maxItems — how many products to scrape (default: 10; keep low for test runs).
2. Set categoryFilter (optional) — a keyword that matches against product URL slugs. Examples:
   • dog-food — dry food, wet food, food containers (all slugs containing "dog-food")
   • cat-toys — cat toy products
   • Leave empty to scrape from the full product catalog.
3. Run the actor. Each product appears as one record in the dataset.

Input example

{
  "maxItems": 50,
  "categoryFilter": "dog-food"
}

Technical notes

Chewy.com uses Kasada bot protection on all product pages. This scraper uses Bright Data Web Unlocker (IceBreaker) to resolve the protection server-side — no browser is launched in your run. Product data is extracted from the Next.js Apollo GraphQL cache embedded in the page, giving clean structured data without DOM fragility.

Discovery is sitemap-driven: the scraper walks Chewy's public PDP sitemap to discover product URLs, then fetches each via Web Unlocker.
