## 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).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Fnac MCP Server

Give your AI assistant **live access to Fnac.com** (French electronics, books
& entertainment retailer). This actor runs as a **Model Context Protocol
(MCP) server** so **Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, n8n** and other agents can search
products, pull full detail with marketplace offers, get autocomplete
suggestions, and fetch recommendations — in real time. It also runs as a
**classic scraper** when you just want a dataset.

Powered by a self-contained hybrid client: no external paid unblocking
subscription required.

### Who it's for

- **AI-assistant / agent builders** — add live Fnac product and price lookup
  to a shopping or price-comparison agent.
- **Analysts using Claude/Cursor** — ad-hoc price/availability/marketplace
  checks in chat without building a scraper.
- **Automation (n8n/Make) builders** — MCP tool nodes for price-monitoring or
  repricing workflows.

### MCP tools

| Tool                          | What it does                                                              |
| ------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `search_fnac_products`         | Keyword search → normalized rows, optionally enriched with full detail    |
| `get_fnac_product`              | Full detail for one product, including per-seller marketplace offers      |
| `fnac_autocomplete`             | Search-box autocomplete suggestions                                       |
| `get_fnac_recommendations`      | "Customers also bought" / related products for a given product            |

### Output fields (per product)

`prid`, `title`, `brand`, `price`, `base_price`, `currency`, `gtin`, `sku`,
`mpn`, `condition`, `seller`, `seller_type`, `availability`, `category`,
`rating`, `reviews_count`, `num_offers`, `offers` (full per-seller
breakdown), `characteristics`, `images`, `url`.

### Connect it

1. Start the actor in **Standby mode** on Apify.
2. Point your MCP client at `https://<your-actor-standby-url>/mcp` (Streamable HTTP).
3. The tools above appear automatically in your AI assistant.

Example (Claude Desktop / Cursor MCP config):

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "fnac": {
            "url": "https://<your-actor-standby-url>/mcp"
        }
    }
}
````

### Classic scraper mode

Prefer a plain dataset? Run the actor normally with an input like:

```json
{
    "searchQueries": ["iphone"],
    "maxPagesPerQuery": 1,
    "fetchOffers": true
}
```

It pushes normalized product rows to the dataset — identical fields to the tools.

### High-value use cases

- **Conversational price checks** — "what's the cheapest marketplace offer
  for this PlayStation 5?" answered live by your assistant.
- **Competitive intelligence agents** — an agent pulls every seller's offer
  for a product before recommending where to buy.
- **Procurement/monitoring automation** — an n8n/Make workflow polls prices
  and marketplace offers for tracked products.

### FAQ

**Do I need proxies or an API key?** No — the actor solves Fnac's anti-bot
challenge itself with a built-in stealth browser.

**How fresh is the data?** Live on every tool call.

**Is `search_fnac_products` 100% reliable?** Fnac's search page sits behind
its strictest anti-bot tier and can occasionally return zero results on a
given call even with automatic retries. `get_fnac_product` (by product ID or
URL) uses a separate, consistently reliable channel and is not affected.

**Can it return a dataset too?** Yes — run it in normal mode for a classic
scrape, using the same fields as the tools.

**Is scraping legal?** The actor collects only publicly available product
data. You are responsible for complying with Fnac's terms and applicable
laws.
