## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

Extract verified **Amazon Canada (`Amazon.ca`) seller profiles, legal corporate entities, business names, customer service addresses, and contact phone numbers** with automated proxy rotation and anti-bot bypass.

***

### ⚡ The 503 Robot Check Problem & Solution

Amazon's anti-bot system detects repetitive scraping patterns and flags datacenter IP pools with **HTTP 503 Robot Check CAPTCHA** interstitials after just 30–50 consecutive requests.

Our **Fast HTTP Extraction Engine** solves this by:

- **Rotating Proxy Pools**: Distributing requests across residential and Canadian/US IP ranges (`countryCode: "CA"`, `"US"`).
- **Direct Storefront Targeting**: Extracting directly from `/sp?seller={SELLER_ID}` storefront profiles without heavy, slow headless browsers.
- **Cheerio/HTTP Parsing**: Consumes **<120 MB RAM** and parses seller metadata in sub-second speeds.

### ❓ Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: Can I look up specific Amazon Seller IDs?**\
A: Yes! Use the `sellerIds` input parameter and supply an array of Merchant IDs (e.g., `["A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB", "A1K21FY432HKDH"]`) to scrape their legal entity records directly.

**Q: Does this scraper capture Chinese or US sellers operating on Amazon.ca?**\
A: Yes. Many international sellers sell on the Canadian marketplace. The `country` and `businessAddress` fields accurately reflect where the seller's corporate entity is legally registered.

**Q: Can I integrate this directly into HubSpot, Salesforce, or Airtable?**\
A: Yes. Use Apify Webhooks or Make/Zapier connections to push new seller leads directly into your sales pipelines.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call automation_studio/amazon-ca-seller-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,automation_studio/amazon-ca-seller-scraper"
        }
    }
}

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
