Crawloop Rockwell Automation Suite

Structured data extraction for Rockwell Automation and Allen-Bradley hardware catalog. Built for procurement teams, system integrators, and BOM engineering workflows.

All actors run on Apify — serverless, API-ready, pay-per-result.

Rockwell's public catalog is an Adobe AEM site backed by Elasticsearch via the product-details servlet. There is no global OneSearch-style API — the Full Catalog Crawler walks sitemap family pages and paginates PIM category IDs.

Estimated catalog size: ~20k–50k unique hardware SKUs (US), after deduplication across overlapping PIM categories.

Which actor do I need?

Your goal	Start here
Build a full Allen-Bradley SKU list from catalog families	Full Catalog Crawler
Get specs, literature PDFs, dimensions, accessories per catalog number	Product Scraper
Bulk BOM check: lifecycle phase + replacement catalog numbers (fast, low cost)	Lifecycle Tracker
Download TD PDFs, manuals, and drawings to Key-Value Store	Document Downloader
Parse TD PDFs into structured JSON specs (no browser)	Datasheet Parser

---

Use cases

BOM obsolescence audit — Run Lifecycle Tracker on your catalog number list. Filter discontinued parts and successors. Enrich only replacements with Product Scraper.

Procurement catalog build — Discover SKUs with Full Catalog Crawler. Export deduplicated catalog numbers with breadcrumbs for ERP or PIM import.

Technical documentation pack — Download literature PDFs via Document Downloader. Parse specification tables with Datasheet Parser.

High-volume TD extraction — Document Downloader → Datasheet Parser. HTTP download + parse-only chain, no browser on the parse step.

Pricing overview

Pay-per-event on Apify. You are billed only for successful results — not for NOT_FOUND or FAILED rows.

Actor	Typical price
Full Catalog Crawler, Product Scraper, Lifecycle Tracker, Document Downloader	from $2–5 / 1,000 results
Datasheet Parser (parse-only)	$10 / 1,000 parsed PDFs

Exact pricing is shown on each Actor page in Apify Store before you run.

Quick start

1. Create a free Apify account.
2. Open the Actor you need from the table above.
3. Paste your Allen-Bradley catalog numbers or configure discovery mode.
4. Run — results appear in Dataset (JSON/CSV) or Key-Value Store (PDFs).

Example — check one catalog number lifecycle:

{
  "catalogNumbers": ["1756-L81E"],
  "concurrencyLimit": 1
}

Run on: Lifecycle Tracker

Example — full product record:

{
  "catalogNumbers": ["1756-L81E", "25B-E027N104"],
  "includeAccessories": true,
  "concurrencyLimit": 5
}

Run on: Product Scraper

---

API integration

All actors support the Apify API and official clients (apify-client for Python/JS).

pip install apify-client

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("crawloop/rockwell-lifecycle-tracker").call(
    run_input={"catalogNumbers": ["1756-L81E"], "concurrencyLimit": 1}
)
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["lifecyclePhase"], item.get("replacementCatalogNumber"))
