## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

## Amazon Product Description Actor Documentation

### Introduction

The Amazon Product Description Actor is a powerful tool that allows you to extract detailed product information from Amazon product pages. This actor scrapes essential details such as pricing, features, specifications, ratings, and more, transforming them into structured JSON data for your use.

This documentation will guide you through setting up and using the actor, even if you're new to Apify or web scraping.

### What This Actor Does

The actor takes an Amazon product URL as input and returns comprehensive product data including:

- Basic product information (title, ASIN, brand)
- Current pricing and deals
- Customer ratings and review count
- Product availability
- Features and specifications
- Images
- Color/style variants
- Seller information
- Shipping details
- And more!

### Prerequisites

- An Apify account (register at [apify.com](https://apify.com))
- Basic understanding of JSON format

### Getting Started

#### Step 1: Access the Actor

1. Log in to your Apify account
2. Navigate to the Amazon Product Description Actor page
3. Click "Try Actor" to test it without deploying

#### Step 2: Configure Input

The actor requires a simple JSON input:

```json
{
  "productUrl": "https://www.amazon.com/your-product-url"
}
````

If no URL is provided, the actor will use a default example URL.

#### Step 3: Run the Actor

Click the "Run" button to start the actor. The actor will:

1. Visit the specified Amazon product page
2. Extract all available product data
3. Structure the data into JSON format
4. Save the results to your Apify storage

#### Step 4: View Results

Once the run completes:

1. Go to the "Storage" tab
2. Find your run in the "Dataset" section
3. View or download the extracted data in JSON format

### Input Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
| productUrl | String | Yes | The full URL of the Amazon product page you want to scrape |

### Output Data Structure

The actor returns a comprehensive JSON object with the following structure:

```json
{
  "asin": "B0BRKPVZB4",
  "title": "Product title...",
  "prices": {
    "price": { "currency": "$", "value": 43.99, "formatted": "$43.99" },
    "regular_price": { ... },
    "deal_price": { ... },
    "prime_with_price": { ... },
    "price_without_prime": { ... }
  },
  "rating": "4.4",
  "review_count": 23236,
  "purchase_count": "10K+ bought in past month",
  "availability": "In Stock Only 2 left in stock - order soon.",
  "features": [ "Feature 1", "Feature 2", ... ],
  "main_image": "https://image-url.jpg",
  "images": [ "url1", "url2", ... ],
  "variants": [ { ... variant details ... } ],
  "brand": "Brand name",
  "categories": [ { ... category details ... } ],
  "specifications": { ... detailed specs ... },
  "prime_eligible": false,
  "amazon_choice": true,
  "best_seller": false,
  "shipping": { ... shipping details ... },
  "seller": { ... seller info ... },
  "source_url": "original-url",
  "timestamp": "2025-04-18T12:35:39.836Z"
}
```

### Use Cases

- Price monitoring and comparison
- Product research and analysis
- E-commerce data enrichment
- Market research
- Building product catalogs
- Competitive analysis

### Integration Examples

#### Using with Node.js

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

const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN',
});

const input = {
    productUrl: 'https://www.amazon.com/your-product-url',
};

// Run the actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor('pintostudio/amazon-product-description').call(input);

// Fetch and print actor results
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log('Products:', items);
```

#### Using with Python

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(token='YOUR_API_TOKEN')

run_input = {
    'productUrl': 'https://www.amazon.com/your-product-url'
}

## Run the actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor('pintostudio/amazon-product-description').call(run_input=run_input)

## Fetch and print actor results
items = client.dataset(run['defaultDatasetId']).list_items().items
print('Products:', items)
```

### Example Output

```json
{
  "asin": "B0BRKPVZB4",
  "title": "Bluetooth Speaker with HD Sound, Portable Wireless, IPX5 Waterproof, Up to 20H Playtime, TWS Pairing, BT5.3...",
  "prices": {
    "price": {"currency": "$", "value": 43.99, "formatted": "$43.99"},
    "prime_with_price": {"currency": "$", "value": 24.61, "formatted": "$24.61"}
  },
  "rating": "4.4",
  "review_count": 23236,
  "availability": "In Stock Only 2 left in stock - order soon.",

    "Immersive Sound Experience & Dual Connectivity",
    "Tough & Weather-Resistant",
    "Long-lasting Playtime & Extended Bluetooth Connectivity",
    "Vibrant Light Effects",
    "Everything You Need"
  ],
  "specifications": {
    "Model Name": "C27C",
    "Speaker Type": "Built-In",
    "Battery Life": "24 Hours",
    "Is Waterproof": "True",
    "Maximum Range": "33 Feet"
  }
}
```

### Limitations

- Some product information may vary based on region, user account, or time of scraping

### Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues:

1. **Actor fails to run**: Verify the product URL is valid and accessible
2. **Missing data**: Some products may not have all fields available (e.g., no variants)

### Best Practices

- Use the actor for legitimate research purposes
- Don't make excessive concurrent requests to Amazon
- Consider adding delays between requests if running multiple times

### Support
