# Whisky & Spirits Catalog + Auction Price Index (WhiskyDB) (`dataengineered/whiskydb-spirits-catalog`) Actor Query a provenance-tracked catalog of 1,290+ whiskies & fine spirits from 3,200+ distilleries, with cask/flavor taxonomies and a 19-year monthly auction price index. Filter by type, age, cask style, or flavor tag; outputs clean JSON/CSV. - **URL**: https://apify.com/dataengineered/whiskydb-spirits-catalog.md - **Developed by:** [DataEngineered](https://apify.com/dataengineered) (community) - **Categories:** E-commerce, AI, Developer tools - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing from $0.00005 / actor start This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## WhiskyDB Core (private) Private data engine for **WhiskyDB** — a structured, provenance-tracked relational catalog of whiskies & fine spirits with cask/flavor taxonomies and a 19-year monthly auction price index. - **Public portal:** https://github.com/WhiskyyDB/whisky-database - **Pipeline:** `python run_pipeline.py` (ingest all sources → `data/whiskydb.sqlite` + CSV exports + public samples) - **Deep retrieval:** `python scripts/deep_ingest.py [breadth|prices|ttb|finalize]` - **API server:** `uvicorn whiskydb.api.server:app` (X-API-Key via `WHISKYDB_API_KEY`) - **Apify actor:** `.actor/` + `apify/` — self-contained, serves the bundled dataset - **Tests:** `python -m pytest -v` (fully offline) - **CI:** monthly COLA Cloud refresh (`.github/workflows/monthly-cola-refresh.yml`) Secrets live in `.env` (gitignored): `WHISKYDB_COMPANIES_HOUSE_API_KEY`, `WHISKYDB_COLACLOUD_API_KEY`, `WHISKYDB_API_KEY`. # Actor input Schema ## `api_key` (type: `string`): Your WhiskyDB licensed API key Unlicensed runs are capped at 10 items. ## `distillery_id` (type: `integer`): Filter spirits by specific distillery ID. ## `spirit_type` (type: `string`): Filter by category (e.g. Single Malt Scotch, Bourbon, Rye Whiskey, Cognac). ## `min_age` (type: `integer`): Filter bottles with at least this age statement. ## `max_age` (type: `integer`): Filter bottles with at most this age statement. ## `cask_style` (type: `string`): Filter by cask type (e.g. Sherry, Pedro Ximenez, Oloroso, First-Fill Ex-Bourbon, Mizunara). ## `flavor_tag` (type: `string`): Filter by tasting profile (e.g. Peat Smoke, Vanilla, Dried Figs, Medicinal, Honey). ## `limit` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of spirit records to export to your dataset. ## Actor input object example ```json { "limit": 100 } ```` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("dataengineered/whiskydb-spirits-catalog").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
