## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

### Supported Amazon Domains

- amazon.com (US)
- amazon.co.uk (UK)
- amazon.de (Germany)
- amazon.fr (France)
- amazon.it (Italy)
- amazon.es (Spain)
- amazon.ca (Canada)
- amazon.com.au (Australia)
- amazon.co.jp (Japan)
- amazon.in (India)
- amazon.com.br (Brazil)
- amazon.com.mx (Mexico)
- And more...

### Usage Tips

1. **Fast Mode**: Set `scrapeProductDetails: false` to only extract data visible on category pages. This is much faster but provides less detail.

2. **Rate Limiting**: Increase `rateLimitDelay` if you encounter CAPTCHAs or blocks.

3. **Proxy**: The scraper automatically selects the appropriate proxy country based on the Amazon domain.

4. **Pagination**: Amazon typically shows 20-60 products per page. Set `maxPages` accordingly.

### Local Development

```bash
## Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

## Install Playwright browsers
playwright install chromium

## Run the scraper
python -m src
```

# Actor input Schema

## `categoryUrls` (type: `array`):

List of Amazon category or search result URLs to scrape. Supports search pages (e.g., amazon.com/s?k=laptops) and browse nodes (e.g., amazon.com/b?node=123).

## `maxItemsPerCategory` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of products to scrape per category URL

## `maxPages` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of pages to scrape per category

## `scrapeProductDetails` (type: `boolean`):

If true, scrapes full product details from individual product pages. If false, returns only data visible on category pages (faster).

## `proxyCountry` (type: `string`):

Proxy country for geo-targeting. Use AUTO to automatically select based on Amazon domain.

## `useResidentialProxy` (type: `boolean`):

Use residential proxies (more reliable but more expensive ~$12.50/GB). If disabled, uses datacenter proxies (~$0.50/GB) which may get blocked more often.

## `rateLimitDelay` (type: `integer`):

Base delay between requests in seconds to avoid rate limiting
