## 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.

#### ⭐ Review signals

Average rating and review count for every item that has them.

#### 🖼️ Photos

Photo URLs for every product where the source publishes them.

#### 📄 Full item content

Complete description and title for every record, with a direct link back to the source.

Four ways to choose what to scrape. Combine any of them.

#### Search queries

Best for specific products. Broad single words (like "laptop") redirect to a category page on Coolblue — use the **Categories** field for those.

```json
{
  "searchQueries": ["sony wh-1000xm5", "dyson v15"],
  "maxResults": 20,
  "fetchDetails": true
}
```

#### Categories

Pulls every product in a category from Coolblue's own catalogue, then scrapes each one. Use a category slug or keyword.

```json
{
  "categories": ["laptops", "koptelefoons", "wasmachines"],
  "maxResults": 100
}
```

#### Product URLs

Scrape specific product pages directly.

```json
{
  "productUrls": [
    "https://www.coolblue.nl/product/913731/samsung-990-pro-2tb-nvme-ssd.html"
  ]
}
```

#### Start URLs

Product pages or `/zoeken` search URLs.

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://www.coolblue.nl/zoeken?query=koffiezetapparaat"
  ]
}
```

### 💰 Pricing

**$0.89 per 1,000 results** — you only pay for successfully retrieved products. Failed retries are never charged.

| Results | Cost |
|---|---|
| 100 | ~$0.09 |
| 1,000 | ~$0.89 |
| 10,000 | ~$8.90 |
| 100,000 | ~$89.00 |

> Flat-rate alternatives typically charge $29–$49/month regardless of usage.

Subscription tiers lower the rate further, down to $0.69 per 1,000 at the highest tier. Use the **Max results** cap in the input to control your spend exactly.

***

### Performance

| Run size | Typical time |
|---|---|
| 100 results | under 1 minute |
| 1,000 results | 2–4 minutes |
| 10,000 results | 20–35 minutes |

***

### Known limitations

- Some fields (brand, condition, shipping) are only returned when the seller or source publishes them — expect `null` on a share of records.
- Prices and stock change constantly; records reflect the moment of scraping.
- Very large result sets are bounded by the source's own paging limits.
- Items can sell or be withdrawn at any time, so a small share of URLs may expire shortly after scraping.

***

### Technical details

- **Source:** coolblue.nl
- **Coverage:** everything the public search exposes, filterable via the input parameters above
- **Retry:** automatic retry on network errors with exponential backoff
