## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

### Use Cases

- **Print-on-demand suppliers** — find high-volume sellers who need fulfillment.
- **Wholesale & materials** — target makers in your supply category.
- **SaaS & tools** — build a prospect list of established, active shops.
- **Agencies** — assemble qualified seller leads for marketing services.

### How to Use

1. Enter a **Category / Keyword** (e.g. `jewelry`, `candle`).
2. Set qualification filters: **Minimum Sales**, **Rating**, **Listings**.
3. Optionally restrict by **Country**.
4. Run — leads stream to the dataset, highest-quality shops first.

#### Example Input

```json
{
    "searchQuery": "jewelry",
    "limit": 100,
    "minSales": 500,
    "minRating": 4.5,
    "minListings": 25,
    "countries": ["US", "CA"],
    "excludeVacation": true
}
````

#### Example Output

```json
{
    "shop_id": 5588285,
    "shop_name": "CandlesandFavors",
    "shop_url": "https://www.etsy.com/shop/CandlesandFavors",
    "seller_name": "candlefavors",

    "source_query": "candle",
    "scraped_at": "2026-06-09T00:00:00Z"
}
```

### Pricing

Pay Per Event — billed per qualified lead returned. Tighter filters mean you pay
only for the sellers that match your ideal-customer profile.

### Scheduling & Automation

Keep your pipeline fresh:

1. Open your run → **Schedule** tab and set a CRON expression.
2. Add a **webhook** to push new leads straight into your CRM or Google Sheet.

*"find me established US jewelry sellers with 1,000+ sales."*

### FAQ

**How is lead\_score calculated?**
A 0–100 blend of lifetime sales (log-scaled), rating, catalog size, and years on
Etsy — so established, high-volume sellers rank highest.

**Can I target a specific country?**
Yes — add country codes (e.g. `US`, `GB`) to the country filter.

**Do I need an Etsy API key?**
No.

**Is this for spamming sellers?**
No. It is for building qualified B2B prospect lists. You are responsible for
complying with anti-spam and privacy regulations when you reach out.
