## 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`).

#### Output example

  "title": "Novalgina Dipirona 1g 20 comprimidos",
  "brand": "Novalgina",
  "packSize": "20 Comprimidos",

}
```

### Use cases

- **Price check** — export the current BRL price, regular price, and Pix price for one keyword
- **Assortment** — keep brand, pack size, category, and the prescription flag
- **Sponsored watch** — use `sponsored` to separate paid placements from organic cards

### Integration examples

Replace `APIFY_TOKEN` with your Apify token. The Actor name is `crawloop/drogasil-scraper`.

#### Node.js

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from "apify-client";

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor("crawloop/drogasil-scraper").call({
  queries: ["dipirona"],
  maxItems: 24,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);
```

#### Python

```python
import os
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(os.environ["APIFY_TOKEN"])
run = client.actor("crawloop/drogasil-scraper").call(run_input={
    "queries": ["dipirona"],
    "maxItems": 24,
})
items = client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).list_items().items
print(items)
```

#### cURL

```bash
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/crawloop~drogasil-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{\"queries\":[\"dipirona\"],\"maxItems\":24}"
```

Example prompts:

- "Run Drogasil Scraper for dipirona and return title, brand, price, Pix price, and stock as JSON"
- "Scrape Drogasil search for vitamina C and list products that require a prescription"
- "Pull 24 Drogasil dipirona rows and keep only rows where the current price is below the regular price"

### FAQ

**Does this open each product page?**
No. It reads the search card and the live price for those SKUs. The barcode is not on the search card.

**What if the keyword matches nothing?**
The run finishes with an empty dataset. Other keywords in the same input still run.

**How many products are on a page?**
Up to 48. Raise `maxPages` when you need more than one page. `maxItems` caps the combined rows.

# Actor input Schema

## `queries` (type: `array`):

Pharmacy search terms, for example dipirona or a Drogasil search URL that contains w=.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many products across all keywords.

## `maxPages` (type: `integer`):

Search pages to open for each keyword. A page holds up to 48 products.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Apify Proxy. Drogasil blocks datacenter IPs, so the default is Unblocker in Brazil.

  "queries": [
    "dipirona"

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).
