## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

### Use Cases

#### Find Suppliers for a Product Category
Search by product keyword (e.g., "hdmi cable", "furniture parts") to discover active manufacturers with shipment volumes and trading history.

#### Analyze Competitor Trade Patterns
Enter a competitor name to review their shipment history, top lanes, carrier choices, and trading partners.

#### Research HS Codes for Tariff Classification
Get detailed HS code breakdowns with shipment counts, weights, and TEU to understand product routing.

#### Screen Suppliers for Compliance
Check `complianceFlag` for UFLPA status. Use `extraData` fields like `uflpa` for additional screening data.

#### Map Shipping Lanes and Carriers
Review exit ports, entry ports, and carrier performance to optimize logistics planning.

#### Build Supplier Lead Lists
Get `phone`, `website`, and `notify_party_table` from `extraData` for supplier outreach.

#### Analyze Quarterly Growth Trends
Track shipment volume changes over time with `quarterlyGrowth` metrics and time-series data.

#### Research Bill of Lading Records
Access recent BOLs with product descriptions, shipper/consignee names, and HS codes.
