## 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

## 🏷️ Delcampe Scraper

Want [Delcampe](https://www.delcampe.net/) collectible lots in a spreadsheet? This scraper makes it easy.

Use **structured filters** (keyword, category, buy now vs auction, price, seller country) — structured filters work better for AI agents — **or** paste an **`input_url`** from Delcampe once you've already filtered in the browser. When `input_url` is set it overrides the filters below.

Delcampe is a large collectibles marketplace (stamps, postcards, coins, vinyl). A stamp search has thousands of pages. This actor returns up to 2000 rows per run.

### 💡 Perfect for...

- **Collectors:** Export lot titles, prices, and URLs for a topic.
- **Dashboards:** Track new Delcampe hits without paging the site.
- **Market research:** Slice collectibles by category, sale type, or seller country.
- **Data analysts:** Export structured Delcampe rows with public lot URLs.
- **🤖 AI Agents:** Power Claude, Cursor, Codex, the Hermes Agent, and OpenClaw workflows with live Delcampe results.
- **📚 RAG Systems:** Feed titles and prices into retrieval pipelines.
- **🔗 AI Workflows:** Plug into LangChain, AutoGPT, CrewAI, and similar stacks.

### ✨ Why you'll love this scraper

- 🔗 **Input URL or Filters:** Paste a Delcampe search URL (`input_url`) if you already filtered in the browser, or use structured filters (better for AI agents). `input_url` always wins when set.
- 🎯 **Website-Matched Filters:** Same keyword, category, listing type, ongoing vs sold, price, seller location, sort, store deals, and free shipping as Delcampe.
- 🌐 **Listing cards:** Title, price, sale type, seller type, category, bids, photo, and lot URL.

### 📦 What's inside the data?

Every row includes all of these fields:

- **Core:** `id`, `url`, `title`, `category`, `subcategory`, `source`
- **Price:** `price`, `currency`
- **Sale:** `listing_type`, `bids`, `free_shipping`, `is_ad`, `is_new`
- **Seller / media:** `seller_type`, `image_url`

### 🚀 Quick start

**Option A — Input URL**

1. Open [Delcampe search](https://www.delcampe.net/en_US/collectibles/search?term=stamp), apply filters, copy the URL.
2. Paste it into `input_url`.
3. Set `max_results` and click **Start**.

**Option B — Structured filters (better for AI agents)**

1. Leave `input_url` empty.
2. Type a keyword and optionally pick category, listing type, price, and seller country.
3. Set `max_results` (up to 2000) and click **Start**.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call dadhalfdev/delcampe-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,dadhalfdev/delcampe-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).
