Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README 🌎 Supported countries: United States of America, Canada, Australia, Germany, Spain, France, United Kingdom, Italy. 💡 You can still check prices by ASIN for products not in stock. The last known price will be returned if available. ### Input - **Process** (select) * Check Prices by ASIN ``` { "asin": string, "price_amazon": float, "price_3rd_party": float, "price_used_3rd_party": float, "updated_at": string, "tag": string, // Best or Good "currency": string "country": string "priceAlert": boolean // Input "alert" is required } ``` * Find Prices Drops / Popular Deals Returns deals based on filters. Run this actor on schedule to track prices and promotions. ``` { "title": string, "asin": string, "link": string, "updatedAt": string, "current_price": float, "original_price": float, "average_price": float, "tag": string, "country": string } ``` - **Country** (select) Target market. "Automatic" is only supported by the process "Check Prices". It will try each country until at least one price is found (not recommended). - **ASIN** (array) Only for "Check Prices by ASIN". List of valid ASINs to be checked. - **Alert Price** (integer) Only for "Check Prices by ASIN". Will set "priceAlert" to true when reached. - **Category/Sort By** (select) Only for Find Deals. Categories on US-based and may not be available for other countries (e.g., gardening is only available in US/DE). - **Search text** (string) Only for Find Deals. Applied AFTER data collection. For example, if the maximum of pages is 3, the filters will remove entries for those 3. - **Minimum discount** (integer) Only for Find Deals. ### Examples **Check Prices** returns: 💡 This process does not check whether a product is in stock. It returns the last known price. ```` \[ { "title": "Logitech G915 LIGHTSPEED RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Low Profile GL Clicky Key Switch, LIGHTSYNC RGB, Advanced LIGHTSPEED Wireless and Bluetooth Support - Clicky, Black", "asin": "B07NY9ZT92", "link": "htttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NY9ZT92", "updatedAt": "2025-02-04T06:35:16.000Z", "current\_price": 141.33, "original\_price": 249.99, "average\_price": 149.5, "discount": 43, // Percent "country": "US" }, ... ] ``` **Find Deals** returns: ``` \[ { "title": "Logitech G915 LIGHTSPEED RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Low Profile GL Clicky Key Switch, LIGHTSYNC RGB, Advanced LIGHTSPEED Wireless and Bluetooth Support - Clicky, Black", "asin": "B07NY9ZT92", "link": "htttps://amazon.com/dp/B07NY9ZT92", // Extension depends on country "updatedAt": "2025-02-04T06:35:16.000Z", "current\_price": 141.33, "original\_price": 249.99, "average\_price": 149.5, "tag": "good", "country": "US" }, ... ] ```` ### Support Always use a proxy and reasonable waiting times.
