## 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.

### Frequently Asked Questions
**Which Dia store does this scraper cover?**
It reads the public online catalog of Dia Argentina at diaonline.supermercadosdia.com.ar. Prices and stock are the ones shown on the Argentine site, in Argentine pesos.
**How many products can I collect in one run?**
You set a maxItems limit. The Dia catalog returns up to about 2,500 products per single search window, so for large pulls split the work across several search terms or categories.
**Can I search by keyword and by category?**
Yes. Provide search terms like leche or fideos, numeric category ids like 164 for Bebidas, or category paths like Bebidas/Gaseosas. You can combine both in one run.
**Why do some records have no description?**
Dia does not publish a description for every product. When the catalog has no description text for a SKU the field is left empty rather than filled with placeholder text.
**Does it need a proxy?**
No. The Dia catalog API is public and works from datacenter IPs, so a proxy is optional. If you ever see geo-blocking from your region you can enable Apify Residential proxy with country Argentina.

Restrict results to one or more Dia departments. Use either a numeric VTEX category id or a category path. Top-level department ids: 1 Almacén, 53 Bebés y Niños, 71 Mascotas, 80 Desayuno, 121 Frescos, 164 Bebidas, 200 Congelados, 216 Perfumería, 256 Hogar y Deco, 282 Limpieza, 334 Indumentaria y Calzado, 441 Electro Hogar.
