## 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`).

- **Category slice** — paste one category link instead of the whole store
- **Single album** — pass one album URL when you only need that gallery

### Integration examples

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

#### Node.js

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

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor("crawloop/yupoo-album-scraper").call({
  startUrls: ["https://STORE.x.yupoo.com/albums"],
  maxAlbums: 40,
});
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/yupoo-album-scraper").call(run_input={
    "startUrls": ["https://STORE.x.yupoo.com/albums"],
    "maxAlbums": 40,
})
items = client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).list_items().items
print(items)
```

#### cURL

```bash
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/crawloop~yupoo-album-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{\"startUrls\":[\"https://STORE.x.yupoo.com/albums\"],\"maxAlbums\":40}"
```

### MCP and AI assistants

Use this Actor from AI tools via [Apify MCP](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp). Connect your Apify account, then call this Actor by its Store name.

Example prompts:

- "Run Yupoo Album Scraper for this category URL and return title, price, photo count, and image URLs as JSON"
- "Scrape the first 20 Yupoo albums from this store link and list titles that contain a price"
- "Pull Yupoo album rows, then run 1688 Scraper for the same product keywords to compare factory prices and MOQ"

### Suite next step

After the photo catalog, run [1688 Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/1688-scraper) for China wholesale price ladders, MOQ, and supplier flags. For a single factory product page, use [Alibaba Product Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/alibaba-product-scraper).

### FAQ

**Does this download the image files?**
No. Each row stores the image URLs already published on the album page. The files stay on the original host.

**What if the album title has no price?**
`price` and `priceText` are empty. The title, photo count, and gallery URLs are still saved.

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

**Can I pass a password-protected album?**
Set `password` when the page shows a password form. Public albums do not need it.

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Yupoo store, category, or album links. A bare store name is treated as that store's album list. Each saved album is one result.

## `maxAlbums` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many albums across all URLs. Default 40. Prefill is small so Apify Store QA finishes within 5 minutes.

## `includeGallery` (type: `boolean`):

When on, each album page is fetched and image URLs are added to the row. When off, only the catalog card is saved (title, price, photo count, cover). Store QA prefill leaves this off for the 5-minute health check.

## `maxImagesPerAlbum` (type: `integer`):

Cap gallery URLs on each album. Default 40. Use 0 to keep up to 200.

## `password` (type: `string`):

Optional password when the store or album shows a password form. Public albums do not need it.

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

Yupoo often blocks bare Apify datacenter egress. Enable Apify Proxy on the platform for Store QA and cloud runs.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://chaosmade20.x.yupoo.com/categories/5280382"

  "maxAlbums": 3,
  "includeGallery": true,
  "maxImagesPerAlbum": 5,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }

## MCP server setup

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).
