## 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

## Amazon Seller Intelligence – BSR Watchlist, Buy Box & Price Monitor

**Daily Amazon product monitoring at $0.004 per ASIN. No subscription.**

Monitor your entire Amazon ASIN watchlist daily. Know instantly when your Buy Box changes, when a competitor drops their price, or when your BSR tanks overnight — without paying $99–$279/month for Helium 10 or Jungle Scout.

### What it tracks per ASIN

- Best Sellers Rank (current + change since last run)
- Buy Box owner (flags when it changes hands)
- Price (current + % change since last run)
- Review count and velocity (new reviews since last run)
- Stock status
- Competing seller count

### Who it's for

- FBA sellers monitoring their own catalogue
- Retail arbitrage operators watching competitor prices
- Amazon agencies running daily reporting for clients
- Tools builders adding Amazon intelligence to their product

### Pricing

| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| Run started | $0.05 |
| ASIN checked | $0.004 |
| Buy Box change detected | +$0.002 |
| ASIN failed | $0.001 |

**100 ASINs daily = $0.45/day = ~$13.50/month**
**Helium 10 Starter: $99/month**

### Input

| Field | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| asins | required | Array of ASINs to monitor (max 500) |
| marketplace | amazon.co.uk | Which Amazon marketplace |
| trackBsrHistory | true | Store snapshots to track changes over time |
| alertOnBuyBoxChange | true | Flag Buy Box ownership changes |
| alertOnPriceDropPercent | 10 | Flag drops over this % (0 = disabled) |
| includeOfferCount | true | Include competing seller count |
| includeReviewVelocity | true | Track new reviews since last run |

### Output fields

- `asin`, `marketplace`, `productTitle`, `productUrl`, `imageUrl`
- `currentPrice`, `currency`, `previousPrice`, `priceChange`, `priceChangePercent`, `priceFlagged`
- `buyBoxWinner`, `buyBoxWinnerPrevious`, `buyBoxChanged`, `isBuyBoxAmazon`, `offerCount`
- `bsr`, `bsrCategory`, `bsrPrevious`, `bsrChange`, `bsrChangePercent`
- `reviewCount`, `reviewRating`, `reviewCountPrevious`, `reviewVelocity`
- `inStock`, `stockStatus`, `checkedAt`, `lastRunAt`, `status`

### Setup note

No API keys required. Provide your ASIN list and marketplace. Use Apify Residential Proxies for best results — Amazon's bot detection is aggressive on datacenter IPs.

### n8n integration

Schedule this actor daily → filter `buyBoxChanged: true` or `priceFlagged: true` → send Slack or email alert.
