## 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.

### What does Ubuy Scraper do?

Ubuy Scraper extracts structured price comparison metrics, spec sheets, brand ratings, and country of origin details from Ubuy, the major global cross-border e-commerce platform. It provides a complete export of listing rows, category catalogs, and detailed specifications.

This tool uses unblocked platform connection channels to load data rapidly and reliably. It operates continuously in the background without needing any browser automation, keeping operational costs exceptionally low. You can configure scheduled runs, integrate the data directly into your workflows, or download output datasets in standard formats like Excel, CSV, or JSON.

# Actor input Schema

## `mode` (type: `string`):

Choose how to find items: keyword search, a category page, or a direct list of product URLs.

## `domain` (type: `string`):

Select the specific Ubuy country site domain (and local currency) to crawl.

## `keywords` (type: `string`):

The search query term to look up across Ubuy's directory (only applicable in search mode).

## `categoryUrl` (type: `string`):

Scrape a specific Ubuy category page (e.g. https://www.ubuy.co.in/category/electronics-10172). Only applicable in category mode.

## `productUrls` (type: `array`):

A list of specific Ubuy product page URLs to scrape directly (e.g. https://www.ubuy.co.in/product/SKU-slug). Only applicable in product URLs mode. Each URL is fetched as a full detail record.

## `sortBy` (type: `string`):

Order the listing results before scraping. Useful to grab the cheapest or top-rated items first (search and category modes only).

## `minPrice` (type: `number`):

Filter results to only include products with a price greater than or equal to this value in local currency.

## `maxPrice` (type: `number`):

Filter results to only include products with a price less than or equal to this value in local currency.

## `scrapeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

If enabled, navigates to each product detail page to extract the original list price, discount, full specs table, and review counts. Leaving this disabled is faster and cheaper.

## `convertToUsd` (type: `boolean`):

Add a price\_usd field converted from the local currency using a live exchange rate. The value is a labeled estimate for cross-country comparison, not the price you pay at checkout.

## `flattenOutput` (type: `boolean`):

Spread the nested specifications object into separate spec\_\* columns. Turn this on for clean CSV, Excel, and Google Sheets exports where each specification gets its own column instead of one JSON blob.

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

Maximum total product records to extract during this crawl run.

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

Residential proxies (the default) are needed to pass Ubuy's Cloudflare protection reliably. Datacenter works intermittently but gets blocked under load, so it is not recommended.

{
  "mode": "search",
  "domain": "ubuy.us",
