## 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.

const run = await client.actor('crawloop/siemens-datasheet-downloader').call({{ searchTerms: ['6ES7214-1AG40-0XB0'], language: 'en', downloadFile: true, maxConcurrency: 3 }});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items.slice(0, 5));
```

#### Python

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

)
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item.get("partNumber"), item.get("status"), item.get("fileName"))
```

#### cURL

```bash
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/crawloop~siemens-datasheet-downloader/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchTerms":["6ES7214-1AG40-0XB0"],"language":"en","downloadFile":true,"maxConcurrency":3}'

# Actor input Schema

## `searchTerms` (type: `array`):

Siemens MLFB / order numbers. One official TED product data sheet PDF is downloaded per value via mall.industry.siemens.com/teddatasheet.

## `language` (type: `string`):

TED datasheet language code passed to the Siemens Industry Mall endpoint (e.g. en, de, fr).

## `downloadFile` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, saves the PDF to the run Key-Value Store. When disabled, returns metadata and download URL only.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

Parallel TED requests. Lower values reduce WAF 403 rate limits on Apify datacenter IPs.

## `requestDelayMs` (type: `integer`):

Minimum delay between TED HTTP requests.

## `maxRetries` (type: `integer`):

Retries for transient HTTP 403/429/5xx responses with exponential backoff.

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

Usually not required. TED PDFs are fetched directly from mall.industry.siemens.com over HTTP.
