## 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`).

# README

## 🛍️ Faire Wholesale Brands & Supplier Leads Scraper

> **Discover high-margin, curated wholesale makers & suppliers on Faire.com. Extract order minimums (MOQ), ratings, reviews, brand values (Not on Amazon, Made in USA), and direct off-platform contact routing to bypass marketplace commission fees.**

***

### 💡 The Opportunity: Why Scrape Faire Wholesale?

[Faire.com](https://www.faire.com) is the world's premier B2B wholesale marketplace, connecting over **100,000 independent brands** with hundreds of thousands of retail shops.

However, Faire charges brands a steep **15% to 25% commission** on every marketplace order. Because of this:

1. **Independent Brands want direct relationships** with serious retailers and e-commerce merchants to avoid marketplace fees.
2. **E-commerce & Boutique Buyers want direct wholesale accounts** to negotiate custom volume discounts, private label terms, and reliable supply chains without middleman markups.

This Actor allows you to systematically source, filter, and extract high-performing wholesale suppliers across any category in minutes.

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,automation_studio/faire-wholesale-leads-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).
