## 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`).

### Input fields

| Field                | Type    | Default                    | Description                                        |
| -------------------- | ------- | -------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| `startUrls`          | array   | —                          | Tamimi Markets category, brand, tag or search URLs |
| `maxItems`           | integer | 5                          | Maximum number of products to scrape per start URL |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object  | `{"useApifyProxy": false}` | Your proxy configuration from Apify                |

### Example input

```json
{
  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://shop.tamimimarkets.com/tag/detergents-95" }],
  "maxItems": 5,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false }
}
```

### Output

Each scraped item is stored as one record in the default dataset, matching one product shown on the page. All sizes and packs of a product are listed in its `variants` array, each with its own price, stock, SKU and barcodes. The top-level price, discount and image mirror the variant the product page opens on (the one with the biggest discount percent, otherwise the cheapest). Variants are listed in the same order as on the product page, cheapest first.

### ❓ FAQ

**Which URLs can I use?**
Category, brand, tag and search URLs from shop.tamimimarkets.com. Copy them from your browser address bar.

**Does it support Arabic?**
Yes. Add `/ar` after the domain, for example `https://shop.tamimimarkets.com/ar/category/laundry-detergent`, `/ar/hot-deals` or `/ar/search?query=ليمون`. Titles, brands, categories, descriptions and variant names are then returned in Arabic and product URLs include `/ar`. The `language` field tells you which language a record is in.

**How does `maxItems` work?**
It limits the number of products per start URL. Pagination continues automatically until the limit or the end of the listing is reached.

**Why does the product count differ from the count shown on the site?**
Items the shop does not list as available are not returned, so counts can be a few lower than the number shown on the website.

**How fresh is the data?**
Each run reads the live shop, so prices and stock reflect the moment of the run.

**Are prices VAT inclusive?**
`price` is the shelf price shown on the website. The VAT rate is provided in `vatPercent`.

**Does it support the Hot Deals page?**
Yes. Use `https://shop.tamimimarkets.com/hot-deals`. It lists products currently on offer that are in stock and have an image. Each product includes all of its sizes in `variants`; check each variant's `onSale` to see which are discounted.

**Can I filter by brand or other facets?**
Yes. Apply the filter on the website and copy the resulting URL, including its `filter` parameter.

**Can I sort the results?**
Yes. Add a `sorting` parameter to the URL, for example `?sorting=PRICE_LOW_TO_HIGH`.
