## 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.

### Frequently Asked Questions
**What recalls does this scraper cover?**\
It covers consumer product recalls published by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission through the official SaferProducts.gov web service. This includes toys, electronics, appliances, furniture, sporting goods and other consumer products, but not vehicles or food and drugs, which other agencies handle.
**What does each recall record include?**\
Every record carries the recall number and dates, product names, models and UPCs, hazards and injuries, the responsible manufacturers, importers, retailers and distributors, country of manufacture, consumer-contact details, images, the full remedy text, and a structured list of remedy actions (for example Refund, Repair, Replace or Dispose) so you can filter recalls by the resolution offered.
**How many recalls can I pull in one run?**\
The CPSC service returns the entire matching set in a single response, so you can pull thousands of recalls. Use the Max Items field to cap the run, or narrow with a date range or keyword to keep each pull focused.
**How do I filter recalls by date or keyword?**\
Set Recall Date From and Recall Date To with YYYY-MM-DD dates to pull a window of recalls. You can also match a keyword against the recall title (for example fire or lithium) or against the product name (for example stroller or heater).
**Does a recall include the products, hazards and the remedy?**\
Yes. Every record carries the recalled products with unit counts, the hazards, any reported injuries, the manufacturers, importers and retailers, the country of manufacture, and the refund, repair or replacement remedy offered to consumers.
**What happens to fields a recall does not list?**\
Fields the CPSC does not provide for a record, such as a UPC, a manufacturer or a product model, are returned as null or an empty array. The scraper never invents values, so imported goods with no listed manufacturer simply show the importer instead.

Export the scraped data to **JSON, CSV or Excel**, pull it as a **dataset** through the Apify **API**, or wire it into your app with **no code**. This web scraper and data extractor also works for bulk data extraction and scheduled runs.
For AI agents: this Actor is available on **x402**, Apify's agentic payment standard built with Coinbase. An AI agent can discover, pay for and run it on its own with a funded wallet and a single HTTP request: no account, no subscription, no API key and no human in the loop. It also runs as an **MCP** tool inside Claude, Cursor and other AI clients out of the box. Learn more about [x402 agentic payments on Apify](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/x402).
