## 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.

**Siemens TED datasheet parser** — parse compact TED catalog PDFs into structured JSON: specifications, tables, limits, and diagrams. Chain after [TED Datasheet Downloader](https://apify.com/crawloop/siemens-datasheet-downloader). Use from Python, Node.js, or MCP.

### When to use this Actor

Use when you have TED PDFs in Key-Value Store (or direct TED URLs) and need structured specs. For SIOS document parsing, use [Siemens Document PDF Parser](https://apify.com/crawloop/siemens-sieportal-product-datasheet-pdf-crawler).

### Key Features

- **TED PDF → JSON** — Specs, tables, limits, diagrams
- **KV Store or URL input** — Chain after TED Downloader
- **Parse status** — PARSED / PARTIAL / FAILED visibility
- **Browser-free parsing** — No SiePortal session for parse-only mode

### Input Parameters

| Parameter | Description | Default |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| `keyValueStoreId` | Store ID from TED Downloader run. | — |
| `items` | List of partNumber + keyValueStoreKey / downloadUrl / fileName. | — |
| `extractDiagrams` | Extract diagram metadata. | `false` |
| `maxConcurrency` | Parallel parse workers. | `3` |

#### Input Example

```json
{
  "keyValueStoreId": "YOUR_TED_DOWNLOADER_STORE_ID",
  "items": [{
    "partNumber": "6ES7193-6BP00-0DA0",
    "downloadUrl": "https://mall.industry.siemens.com/teddatasheet/?format=PDF&mlfbs=6ES7193-6BP00-0DA0&language=en&caller=SiePortal",
    "fileName": "6ES7193-6BP00-0DA0_datasheet_en.pdf"
  }],
  "extractDiagrams": false,
  "maxConcurrency": 3
}
```

### Output Format

```json
{
  "partNumber": "6ES7193-6BP00-0DA0",
  "fileName": "6ES7193-6BP00-0DA0_datasheet_en.pdf",
  "status": "PARSED",
  "pageCount": 2,
  "tableCount": 3,
  "specificationCount": 24,
  "diagramCount": 0,
  "parsedAt": "2026-08-03T12:00:00Z"
}
```

### Use cases

| Use case | What you get |
| :--- | :--- |
| **TED digitization** | Specs/tables as JSON |
| **BOM enrichment** | Structured attributes from catalog PDFs |
| **Compare vs SIOS parse** | Compact TED vs full manuals |
| **AI / MCP workflows** | Run via Apify API, clients, or MCP |

### Integration examples

#### Node.js

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('crawloop/siemens-datasheet-pdf-crawler').call({{ keyValueStoreId: 'YOUR_STORE_ID', items: [{{ partNumber: '6ES7193-6BP00-0DA0', fileName: '6ES7193-6BP00-0DA0_datasheet_en.pdf' }}], extractDiagrams: false, maxConcurrency: 3 }});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items.slice(0, 5));
```

#### Python

```python

client = ApifyClient(token)
run = client.actor("crawloop/siemens-datasheet-pdf-crawler").call(
    run_input={{"keyValueStoreId": "YOUR_STORE_ID", "items": [{"partNumber": "6ES7193-6BP00-0DA0", "fileName": "6ES7193-6BP00-0DA0_datasheet_en.pdf"}], "extractDiagrams": False, "maxConcurrency": 3}}
)
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item.get("partNumber"), item.get("specificationCount"), item.get("status"))
```
