## 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.

# README

## Tire Market Pulse — Price, Spec & EU Label Data, All Brands

Look up any tyre size across 5 sources in one run: EU official spec + mandatory label registry (**EPREL**), 3 multi-brand retail price comparisons (**Tyre-Shopper**, **Blackcircles**, **Euromaster**) so you can compare prices across brands, models and retailers side by side, and industry news (**Tyrepress**). No login, no API key.

### Why 3 price sources in one actor

A single retailer only shows its own stock and margin. Running Tyre-Shopper and Blackcircles (UK) alongside Euromaster (France) in the same call gives a real cross-retailer, cross-country price comparison for the exact same size — brand vs brand, model vs model — instead of one shop's price list.

### Input

- **Tyre width / aspect ratio / rim diameter** (required) — the 3 numbers of a tyre size, e.g. `205`/`55`/`16` for 205/55R16. Required for the 4 size-based sources (eprel, tyreshopper, blackcircles, euromaster).
- **Brands** — keep only these brands (e.g. `Michelin`, `Continental`), matched case-insensitively. Applies to the 4 size-based sources.
- **News keywords** — filter Tyrepress headlines by title/category (e.g. a brand name, `recall`, `launch`). Leave empty for the latest unfiltered news.
- **Sources** — pick a subset of `eprel`, `tyreshopper`, `blackcircles`, `euromaster`, `tyrepress`, or leave empty to query all 5.
- **Max results per source**, **Request timeout** — advanced tuning.

### Output

Rows carry a `record_type` (`label_spec`, `price`, or `news`) plus the fields that make sense for it — they're not forced into one artificial shape.

Price rows (tyreshopper/blackcircles/euromaster) share a common `price` + `currency` pair so they can be sorted and compared directly across retailers and countries:

```json
{
  "record_type": "price",
  "source": "euromaster",
  "brand": "Michelin",
  "model": "CROSSCLIMATE 3",
  "size": "205/55R16",
  "price": 95.9,
  "currency": "EUR",
  "season": "toutes saisons",
  "url": "https://www.euromaster.fr/michelin/crossclimate-3/205-55-r16-91-v"
}
```

Spec/label rows (eprel) carry the mandatory EU tyre label alongside the spec:

```json
{
  "record_type": "label_spec",
  "source": "eprel",
  "brand": "Michelin",
  "size": "205/55R16",
  "energy_class": "B",
  "wet_grip_class": "A",
  "noise_class": "B",
  "noise_db": 68,
  "eprel_id": "123456",
  "url": "https://eprel.ec.europa.eu/screen/product/tyres/123456"
}
```

### Coverage per source

| Source | What it covers | Region |
|---|---|---|
| EPREL | Official EU spec + mandatory energy/wet-grip/noise label | EU-wide, all brands sold in the EU |
| Tyre-Shopper | Retail price comparison | UK |
| Blackcircles | Retail price comparison | UK |
| Euromaster | Retail price comparison (installer network) | France |
| Tyrepress | Trade-press industry news | Global |

### Notes

- Pricing is pay-per-result: you're charged per row returned, nothing for empty runs.
- No manufacturer-direct-sale source is included: Michelin, Bridgestone and Goodyear have no consumer shop in France (they sell through distributor/installer networks — Euromaster above is one such network), and Pirelli's online store sells merchandise, not tyres. Checked live, not assumed.
- EPREL's wet-grip/noise/energy label classes are the closest honest substitute for "independent test results" — no live, non-paywalled independent test source was found (TireRack blocks all requests, TyreReviews returns a bot-wall 403, Which.co.uk is a paywalled subscription service).

# Actor input Schema

## `width` (type: `integer`):

First number of the tyre size, e.g. 205 in 205/55R16. Required for the eprel and tyreshopper sources.

## `aspect_ratio` (type: `integer`):

Second number of the tyre size, e.g. 55 in 205/55R16. Required for the eprel and tyreshopper sources.

## `rim_diameter` (type: `integer`):

Third number of the tyre size, e.g. 16 in 205/55R16. Required for the eprel and tyreshopper sources.

## `brands` (type: `array`):

Only keep results from these tyre brands (e.g. 'Michelin', 'Continental'), matched case-insensitively as a substring. Leave empty for all brands. Applies to the eprel, tyreshopper, blackcircles and euromaster sources only.

## `news_keywords` (type: `array`):

Only keep tyrepress news items whose title/category matches one of these keywords (e.g. a brand name, 'recall', 'launch'). Leave empty to return the latest industry news unfiltered.

## `sources` (type: `array`):

Which sources to query. Leave empty to query all 5: eprel (EU spec + label registry), tyreshopper/blackcircles (UK retail price comparison), euromaster (FR retail price comparison), tyrepress (industry news).

## `max_results_per_source` (type: `integer`):

Cap on how many rows to keep from each individual source, after filtering.

## `request_timeout_secs` (type: `integer`):

HTTP request timeout.

  "aspect_ratio": 55,
  "rim_diameter": 16,
