## 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 can I search on Plaza Vea?**\
You can search the full catalog by keyword (for example "arroz", "leche gloria", or "televisor"), or restrict results to a department like Abarrotes, Bebidas, or Tecnologia. You can also paste a full Plaza Vea catalog search URL to reuse its exact filters and sorting.
**How many results can I get per run?**\
You set the limit with Max Items. Any single search or department returns up to roughly 2,500 products, so very broad queries are best narrowed with a keyword, department, or sort order for full coverage.
**Can I sort or filter the results?**\
Yes. You can sort by price low to high, price high to low, best sellers, top rated, newest, biggest discount, or name. Combine a search term with a department to search within a specific section of the store.
**Does it report prices in soles?**\
Yes. Every price field is in Peruvian soles and each record carries a currency code of PEN, so you can load the data without guessing the currency.
**What happens to products with missing data?**\
Fields like brand or EAN are only filled when the store publishes them, so they may be empty on some products. Every record always includes the price, availability, identifiers, category, and a direct product link.
**What extra product detail is included?**\
Beyond price and stock, each record also carries the product description, a full specifications table, the loyalty reward value, the tax amount, and the promotional campaign groups the product currently belongs to, so you can track discounts, attributes, and promo placement in one pass.
