## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

# README

## Wine API Scraper

Search and browse wine data from a public wine database — no API key, no login, no paid proxies required. Covers red, white, sparkling, rosé, dessert wines, and port wines from top wineries worldwide.

### What you can do

- **Search wines** by name keyword (e.g., "cabernet", "chardonnay", "bordeaux")
- **Browse by type** — reds, whites, sparkling, rosé, dessert wines, or port
- **Filter by country** — France, Italy, United States, Spain, Australia, and more
- **Filter by region** — Bordeaux, Napa Valley, Tuscany, Champagne, Barossa Valley, and more
- **Filter by winery** — narrow results to a specific producer
- **Filter by rating** — only return wines above a minimum community score
- **Filter by vintage year** — find wines from a specific era or decade

### Output fields

Each record includes:

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `wineName` | Full wine name (may include vintage year and varietal) |
| `winery` | Name of the producer/winery |
| `vintage` | Vintage year extracted from the wine name (if present) |
| `country` | Country of origin |
| `region` | Wine region or appellation |
| `ratingAverage` | Community average rating (1.0–5.0 scale) |

| `imageUrl` | Wine bottle image URL |
| `sourceUrl` | Direct link to the wine record |
| `scrapedAt` | ISO timestamp of when the record was collected |
| `recordType` | Always `"wine"` |

### Input parameters

| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `mode` | select | `search` (filter by name/winery/etc), `byType` (browse a category), `all` (all types) |
| `searchQuery` | text | Keyword to match against wine name or winery (mode=search) |
| `wineType` | select | Wine category for `byType` mode: reds, whites, sparkling, rose, dessert-wines, port |
| `filterCountry` | text | Only wines from this country (partial, case-insensitive) |
| `filterRegion` | text | Only wines from this region (partial, case-insensitive) |
| `filterWinery` | text | Only wines from this winery (partial, case-insensitive) |
| `minRating` | number | Minimum community rating (1.0–5.0) |
| `vintageMin` | integer | Minimum vintage year |
| `vintageMax` | integer | Maximum vintage year |
| `maxItems` | integer | Maximum number of records to return (default: 100, max: 5000) |

### Example use cases

**Find Bordeaux red wines rated 4.5+:**

- mode: `search`, searchQuery: `bordeaux`, minRating: `4.5`, filterCountry: `France`

**Browse all port wines:**

- mode: `byType`, wineType: `port`

**Find Italian Barolo wines from the 1990s:**

- mode: `search`, filterCountry: `Italy`, filterRegion: `Barolo`, vintageMin: `1990`, vintageMax: `1999`

**Get all sparkling wines:**

- mode: `byType`, wineType: `sparkling`, maxItems: `500`

### FAQs

**Does this require an API key or login?**
No. The data source is a fully public API — no registration, no API key, no paid plan needed.

**How many wines are available?**
The database contains approximately 3,500+ wines across all six categories: reds (~700), whites (~500), sparkling (~700), rosé (~500), dessert wines (~600), and port (~400).

**Are prices included?**
No — the public database does not include pricing data.

**How often is the data updated?**
The underlying database is maintained by the public API. The actor fetches fresh data on each run.

**Can I search for a specific wine by exact name?**
Use `mode=search` with `searchQuery` set to part of the wine name. The match is case-insensitive and searches both the wine name and winery field.

**What does the vintage field contain?**
The vintage year (e.g., 2015) is extracted from the wine name string. Wines labeled "N.V." (non-vintage) will not have a vintage field.

**How are ratings scored?**
Ratings are community scores on a 1.0–5.0 scale, aggregated from wine enthusiast reviews.

### Data source

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,crawlergang/wine-api-scraper"

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
