## 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

### How does Home Depot Questions & Answers Scraper work?

The Home Depot Questions & Answers Scraper retrieves real-time customer questions and answers for Home Depot products. It extracts detailed data including the question text, submission time, author details, and every answer attached to a question, including brand replies, moderation status, and helpful votes. This data can be used to analyze customer concerns, recurring product issues, and how manufacturers respond to them.

This Actor fetches live data directly from Home Depot, ensuring that the information provided is always current and accurate, with no caching involved.

The extraction process takes an array of input objects where each specifies parameters for a request to fetch the questions and answers of a particular product. Each request returns one page of eight questions, with optional sorting and keyword search. The Actor returns structured data with comprehensive question and answer information according to the input criteria.

### Input data

The input must be provided in JSON format. It requires one mandatory array field named "input". Each element of this array is an object representing parameters for a single questions and answers retrieval task.

Input fields for each item:

- `itemId` (Required): The Home Depot item number of the product for which to retrieve questions and answers, e.g. 328794821.
- `startPage` (Optional): First page of questions to fetch, starting at 1. Defaults to 1. Each page contains eight questions.
- `endPage` (Optional): Last page to fetch, defaults to the value of `startPage`. Set a higher value to fetch a page range in one go, or `-1` to fetch all available pages - the Actor paginates automatically.
- `sortBy` (Optional): The sorting criteria for questions. Valid values are "newest" (default), "oldest" and "mosthelpfull".
- `searchTerm` (Optional): Filters questions and answers by a keyword or phrase, returning only entries containing the specified term, e.g. "plumbing".

Multiple questions and answers requests can be processed in one run by including multiple objects in the input array.

#### Example input

```json
{
  "input": [
    {
      "itemId": 326247344,
      "startPage": 1,
      "endPage": 2,
      "sortBy": "newest"
    },

### How much does Home Depot Questions & Answers Scraper cost?

Estimating the resources required for data extraction can vary depending on the number and complexity of requests. It is recommended to perform a test run using a limited set of input data and generate a small amount of output to estimate the cost. This estimation can then be scaled according to the total usage planned.

### What to consider when using this Actor?

We have extensive experience in web crawling embedded in this Actor, so users do not need to handle common web scraping challenges.

Key aspects covered:

- **Proxy Rotation:** The Actor uses a large proxy pool distributed across multiple countries to avoid IP blocking and ensure smooth data extraction.
- **Geo Targeting:** Requests are routed through proxies matched to the Home Depot domain's geographical location to ensure accurate data retrieval.
- **Captcha and Blocking Handling:** Captchas and temporary blocking responses are managed automatically to maintain uninterrupted extraction.
- **Stability and Reliability:** The Actor includes retry and rotation logic to provide a stable and reliable scraping process.

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,axesso_data/homedepot-questions-answers-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).
