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.

Extract product details including price, rating, seller information, grade levels, and more — no account required. ### What This Actor Does - **Search resources** by keyword with optional grade, subject, and format filters - **Browse by grade** — Pre-K through 12th grade, Higher Education, Homeschool - **Browse by subject** — Math, ELA, Science, Social Studies, Arts, and more - **Fetch specific product details** from TpT product URLs - **Scrape entire teacher stores** — get all products from any teacher's store page ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `mode` | Select | `search`, `byGrade`, `bySubject`, `getProduct`, `getStore` | | `searchQuery` | Text | Keyword search (mode=search) | | `startUrls` | List | TpT product or store URLs (getProduct/getStore) | | `grade` | Select | Grade level filter (also required for byGrade mode) | | `subject` | Select | Subject area filter (required for bySubject mode) | | `format` | Select | Resource format (PDF, Google Apps, PowerPoint, etc.) | | `isFree` | Boolean | Only return free resources | | `minRating` | Number | Minimum average rating (1–5 star scale) | | `minReviews` | Integer | Minimum number of ratings/reviews | | `maxItems` | Integer | Maximum records to return (default: 24) | #### Grade Options Pre-K, Kindergarten, 1st–12th Grade, Higher Education, Adult Education, Homeschool, Not Grade Specific #### Subject Options Arts & Music, English Language Arts, Foreign Language, Math, Science, Social Studies - History, Special Education, Holidays/Seasonal #### Format Options PDF, Google Apps, PowerPoint, Word Document, Excel Spreadsheets, Easel Activity, Interactive Notebooks, Lesson Plans, Task Cards, Tests, Worksheets, Workbooks ### Output | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `productId` | String | TpT numeric product ID | | `title` | String | Resource title | | `description` | String | Product description | | `price` | Number | Price in USD (0.0 = free) | | `isFree` | Boolean | Whether the resource is free | | `rating` | Number | Average rating (1–5 scale) | | `ratingCount` | Integer | Number of ratings | | `seller` | String | Teacher/seller display name | | `sellerUrl` | String | Seller's TpT store URL | | `thumbnailUrl` | String | Product preview image URL | | `url` | String | Product page URL | | `releaseDate` | String | Date product was listed | | `currency` | String | Currency code (USD) | | `grades` | Array | Grade levels (when available) | | `subjects` | Array | Subject areas (when available) | | `formats` | Array | Resource formats (when available) | | `recordType` | String | Always "product" | | `scrapedAt` | String | ISO timestamp | ### Example Output ```json { "productId": "4061393", "title": "Multiplication Color By Number Worksheets - Fact Fluency", "price": 3.50, "isFree": false, "rating": 4.8, "ratingCount": 1250, "seller": "Games 4 Learning", "sellerUrl": "https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Games-4-Learning", "thumbnailUrl": "https://ecdn.teacherspayteachers.com/thumbitem/...", "url": "https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Multiplication-Color-By-Number-Worksheets-Fact-Fluency-4061393", "currency": "USD", "recordType": "product", "scrapedAt": "2026-05-17T07:00:00+00:00" } ```` ### Modes #### `search` — Search by keyword Searches TpT's browse page with optional filters. ```json {"mode": "search", "searchQuery": "multiplication worksheets", "grade": "3rd", "maxItems": 24} ``` #### `byGrade` — Browse by grade level Returns resources for a specific grade. ```json {"mode": "byGrade", "grade": "Kindergarten", "maxItems": 50} ``` #### `bySubject` — Browse by subject Returns resources for a specific subject area. ```json {"mode": "bySubject", "subject": "Math", "grade": "5th", "maxItems": 50} ``` #### `getProduct` — Fetch specific product(s) Returns full details for specific product URLs. ```json { "mode": "getProduct", "startUrls": [ "https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Multiplication-Color-By-Number-Worksheets-4061393" ] } ``` #### `getStore` — Scrape a teacher's store Returns all products from a teacher's store. ```json { "mode": "getStore", "startUrls": ["https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Games-4-Learning"], "maxItems": 100 } ``` ### FAQ **Does this require a TpT account?** No. All product listings and details scraped are publicly accessible without login. **Does TpT use Algolia for search?** TpT uses Algolia internally for its search infrastructure, but the search results are delivered as server-rendered HTML. This actor scrapes the HTML results pages and individual product pages to extract structured data (including JSON-LD) without needing Algolia credentials. **How do I get grades, subjects, and formats for a product?** These fields are best populated by fetching product detail pages (all modes except search/byGrade/bySubject). Use `mode=getProduct` or `mode=getStore` for richest data. **What is the rating scale?** TpT uses a standard 1–5 star rating scale. The JSON-LD on product pages includes `ratingValue` on this scale. **How many products can I scrape?** Set `maxItems` up to 5000. TpT has millions of resources. **Why might some product records have fewer fields?** Listing pages provide only the product URL and title. Full details (price, rating, seller, thumbnail) require fetching individual product pages, which is done automatically by the actor. **Can I scrape an entire teacher's store?** Yes — use `mode=getStore` with the store URL. The actor paginates through all store pages automatically. ### Limitations - TpT's browse page may require a brief delay between requests to avoid rate limiting - Some product fields (grades, subjects, formats) may not always be available on listing pages and require fetching the product detail page - Product pages blocked by TpT's anti-bot systems will be skipped with a warning; try reducing request frequency if many pages fail - Preview/download files are not accessible without a TpT account # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): What to scrape. ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Keyword(s) to search for resources (mode=search). ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): TpT product or store URLs (modes: getProduct, getStore).
