## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

### What you get

One row per product:

| Field | Description |

| `product_id` | Cashify catalogue id |
| `title` | Product name (e.g. `Apple iPhone 11 - Refurbished`) |
| `url` | Product page URL |

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `startUrls` | array | Listing URLs to scrape — a brand (`…/buy-refurbished-mobile-phones/apple`), everything (`…/all-phones`), or a price band (`…/under-14999`). |
| `categoryUrl` | string | Convenience: a single listing URL added to the list. |
| `maxItems` | integer | Max products to return across all listings (default 60; `0` = unlimited). |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.cashify.in/buy-refurbished-mobile-phones/apple" }
  ],
  "maxItems": 60
}
```

### Access & reliability

Cashify renders its catalogue with React Server Components behind a bot-defence
edge. This actor reaches the site through a **built-in managed residential exit
(India)** and a real browser, then reads the structured product payload the page
ships — **no proxy account, key, or setup is required on your side.** Parsing
keys on the site's own data fields (not styling classes), so it stays robust
across front-end redeploys.

### Pricing

Pay per product returned (pay-per-result). You are charged only for products
actually delivered to your dataset — failed or empty pages cost nothing.

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Cashify refurbished-phone listing URLs to scrape — e.g. https://www.cashify.in/buy-refurbished-mobile-phones/apple (a brand), /buy-refurbished-mobile-phones/all-phones (everything), or /buy-refurbished-mobile-phones/under-14999 (a price band). Site-relative paths also work.

## `categoryUrl` (type: `string`):

Convenience field — a single listing URL, added to the list above. Leave blank if you used Listing URLs.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of products to return across all listings. Default 60. Set to 0 for unlimited (you are charged per product returned).

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Access to Cashify is handled by a managed residential exit (India) baked into the actor — no proxy account or setup is needed on your side. This field is kept for compatibility and can be left at its default.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.cashify.in/buy-refurbished-mobile-phones/apple"
