## 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.

# README

## Turkish GTIP / HS Code Lookup API — Customs Tariff Search

The **Turkish GTIP / HS Code Lookup API** lets you look up and search **GTIP** and **WCO Harmonized System (HS)** customs codes by code or by keyword. It ships with an embedded dataset of 6,900+ codes and returns tariff descriptions as clean JSON — no login required.

### What the GTIP / HS code lookup does

- **`/lookup`** — return the description for an exact GTIP / HS code (2, 4 or 6 digits).
- **`/search`** — find codes by keyword, with Turkish character folding (ç, ğ, ı, ö, ş, ü) for forgiving matches.

### API usage

```
GET /lookup?code=090111
GET /search?q=kahve
```

### Use cases

Classify products for customs and foreign-trade declarations, enrich e-commerce catalogs with tariff codes, and power HS-code pickers in trade software.

### Pricing

Pay-per-event: **$0.001 per API call**.

- [e-Fatura Validator API (UBL-TR)](https://apify.com/caulleonard/efatura-validator)

### Notes

Descriptions reflect the embedded dataset. For binding tariff classification, always confirm against the official Turkish customs tariff (Gümrük Tarife Cetveli).
