## 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

## Walmart Product Scraper

Scrape product data from Walmart.com — search results and individual product details. Extract prices, ratings, reviews, brand information, stock status, and more.

Lightweight HTTP-only scraper — no browser required. Uses Apify residential proxies to bypass Walmart's anti-bot protection.

### Features

- **Product Search** — Search Walmart's catalog by keyword and extract structured product data
- **Product Details** — Get full details for any Walmart product by URL
- **No browser needed** — Pure HTTP requests, fast and lightweight
- **Proxy support** — Built-in Apify proxy integration (residential proxies recommended)

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `action` | string | `search` or `product` |
| `query` | string | Search term (for `search` action) |
| `url` | string | Product URL (for `product` action) |
| `maxItems` | integer | Maximum products to return (default: 20) |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Proxy settings (residential proxies strongly recommended) |

#### Example: Search

```json
{
    "action": "search",
    "query": "laptop",
    "maxItems": 20,
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true,
        "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
    }
}
```

#### Example: Product Detail

```json
{
    "action": "product",
    "url": "https://www.walmart.com/ip/HP-15-6-Laptop/123456789",
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true,
        "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
    }
}
```

### Output

Each product includes:

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `productId` | Walmart product ID |
| `title` | Product name |
| `price` | Current price (USD) |
| `originalPrice` | Original price before discount |
| `rating` | Average rating (out of 5) |
| `reviewCount` | Number of reviews |
| `url` | Product page URL |
| `imageUrl` | Product image URL |
| `brand` | Brand name |
| `inStock` | Stock availability |
| `seller` | Seller name |

### Important: Proxy Configuration

Walmart uses PerimeterX bot detection that blocks datacenter IP addresses. **You must use residential proxies** for reliable results:

```json
{
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true,
        "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
    }
}
```

Without residential proxies, the scraper will likely return no product data.

### Cost

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You are charged per product result returned.

# Actor input Schema

## `action` (type: `string`):

Action to perform: 'search' to search for products, 'product' to get details of a specific product.

## `query` (type: `string`):

Search term for Walmart products (used when action is 'search').

## `url` (type: `string`):

Full Walmart product URL (used when action is 'product'). Example: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Product-Name/123456789

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of products to scrape.

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

IMPORTANT: Walmart blocks datacenter IPs. Use Apify residential proxies for best results. Set useApifyProxy=true and apifyProxyGroups=\["RESIDENTIAL"].

```json
{
  "action": "search",
  "query": "laptop",
  "maxItems": 20,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
