## 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

## Best Buy Product Scraper — Prices, Ratings & SKUs (No API Key)

A Best Buy scraper that turns any BestBuy.com search into a clean product dataset — prices, ratings, SKU IDs, and more. Extract best buy product data and electronics pricing in bulk with no API key, no login, and pay per result. Built for developers, price analysts, and AI pipelines that need structured Best Buy catalog data without building or maintaining a Best Buy API integration. Public catalog facts only.

This actor uses Chrome TLS impersonation plus residential US proxies with automatic session rotation to clear anti-bot walls, so you don't manage proxies or logins.

### ⚡ Quick start

Paste this into the Actor's **Input** (JSON view) and hit **Start**:

```json
{
  "searchQuery": "laptop",
  "maxResults": 40
}
```

Each result row looks like:

```json
{
  "skuId": "6509650",
  "name": "MacBook Air 13.6\" Laptop - Apple M2 chip - 8GB Memory - 256GB SSD",
  "price": 849.99,
  "regularPrice": 999.99,
  "onSale": true,
  "rating": 4.8,
  "reviewCount": 1287,
  "url": "https://www.bestbuy.com/site/apple-macbook-air-13-6-laptop-m2-chip/6509650.p?skuId=6509650"
}
```

Or run it from the API:

```
POST https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/jamhimself~bestbuy-search-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN
```

### What you get

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `name` | Product title |
| `price` | Current customer price |
| `regularPrice` / `onSale` | List price and whether it's discounted |
| `rating` / `reviewCount` | Average star rating and number of reviews |
| `condition` | `new`, `open-box`, etc. |
| `categories` | Best Buy's own product-type tags |
| `skuId` | Best Buy SKU (stable product ID) |

### Use cases

- **Competitor and MAP monitoring** — watch list price vs. sale price to spot discounts and pricing changes.
- **Market research** — analyze ratings and review counts to size demand across product categories.
- **Feed an LLM or RAG pipeline** — supply structured product data to AI agents and assistants.
- **Dropshipping and sourcing** — pull SKUs, images, and prices to build product catalogs.
- **Dataset building** — assemble electronics datasets for analysis or benchmarking.

### Input

- **searchQuery** — what to search BestBuy.com for, e.g. `wireless headphones`, `4k tv`, `nintendo switch` (prefilled with `wireless headphones`).
- **maxResults** — maximum number of products to return, paginates automatically (default `60`, up to `1000`).

### Pricing
