## 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

## Pinehurst Coins Scraper — Gold & Silver Bullion Prices

Scrape live product data from [PinehurstCoins.com](https://pinehurstcoins.com), an online precious-metals and coin retailer. Search any bullion or numismatic product and get clean, structured JSON: prices, metal, product type, weight, purity/fineness, **premium over live spot**, payment-method pricing tiers, availability, and more.

### What you get

Per product:

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `title` | Product name |
| `metal` | Gold / Silver / Platinum / Palladium |
| `productType` | Coin / Bar / Round |
| `productSeries` | Product line (e.g. American Eagle) |
| `weight` | Troy oz of metal content (per unit) |
| `totalMetalOz` | Total metal content (per-unit × lot/roll quantity) |
| `weightLabel` | Display weight (e.g. "1 oz") |
| `purity` / `fineness` | Fineness (e.g. 0.999) |
| `metalPercentage` | Metal purity as a percentage (e.g. 99.9) |
| `price` | Current selling price, USD (Check/Wire base price) |
| `paymentPricing` | Price by payment method: `checkWire`, `bitcoin` (+2%), `creditCardPaypal` (+3%) |
| `premiumOverSpot` | Price minus melt value (live spot × total metal oz) |
| `premiumPercent` | Premium as % over melt value |
| `spotPriceUsed` | Live spot price used for the premium calc |
| `grade`, `certification`, `mintYear`, `mint`, `country`, `strikeType`, `denomination`, `diameter` | Numismatic attributes |
| `inStock`, `availability`, `onSale`, `lowStockRemaining` | Availability |
| `rating`, `reviewCount` | Reviews |
| `sku`, `image`, `url`, `productId` | Identifiers, media & links |

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `searchQueries` | array | Search terms (e.g. `["silver eagle", "gold bar"]`). Defaults to `["silver eagle"]`. |
| `metal` | select | Filter by metal: Any / Gold / Silver / Platinum / Palladium |
| `productType` | select | Filter by form: Any / Coin / Bar / Round |
| `maxResults` | integer | Max products per query (default 100) |
| `minPrice`, `maxPrice` | number | Price range filter (USD) |
| `inStockOnly` | boolean | Only return in-stock products |
| `proxyConfiguration` | proxy | Optional. Not needed — the open WooCommerce Store API returns 200 directly. |

### How it works

Pinehurst Coins runs on WooCommerce. This actor uses the site's open **WooCommerce Store API** (`/wp-json/wc/store/v1/products`) for fast, robust, structured product data — no HTML parsing, no proxy required. Live spot prices are pulled from the site's own price feed to compute premium over melt. Payment-method tiers (Check/Wire, BitCoin +2%, Credit Card/PayPal +3%) mirror the pricing shown on each product page.

### Pricing

Pay per result via Apify's Pay-Per-Event model.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

Search terms to look up on PinehurstCoins.com (e.g. 'silver eagle', 'gold bar', 'morgan dollar', 'krugerrand'). Leave empty to use the default.

## `metal` (type: `string`):

Filter results by metal.

## `productType` (type: `string`):

Filter results by product form.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of products to scrape per query (each API page returns up to 100).

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

Filter: only return products at or above this price (USD).
