Current Inventory Search by LA Green Engineer

Retrieve recently queried AutomationDirect industrial product prices and seller-listed availability in one agent-friendly report.

Price

$3 per completed report, covering one to 100 exact supplier product codes. No completed-report event is requested when a required lookup or report delivery fails. Supplier-listed out-of-stock results are useful report results and are included in the completed-report price.

Input

{"mode":"current","product_codes":["C0-00DD2-D","C0-00DR-D","C0-00DD1-D","DW-AD-711-M8"],"limit":4}

Use exact AutomationDirect codes. Broad searches and historical fallback are not supported in this pilot. Set the spending limit to $3. Default memory is 256 MB and recommended timeout is 600 seconds.

What agents receive

The default dataset contains the returned product observations. The run key-value store contains REPORT (JSON), REPORT-CSV (CSV), and OUTPUT (completion receipt and file hashes). A successful paid report requires the run to succeed and OUTPUT to show completed=true, charged=true, billing=charged. Retrieve saved files from that run without starting another paid run.

Each observation includes the supplier code, published part number and brand, USD unit_price amount, seller availability statement, shipping note when provided, source link and retrieval time. Supplier price last_updated is separate from the retrieval time. Unknown quantity, warehouse location and inventory fact timestamp remain unknown.

Coverage and freshness

This pilot queries the supplier's documented public product API for the requested codes during the run. Retrieval is not a guarantee that the response came from an uncached origin server; available cache metadata is retained. Seller availability is not independently confirmed or reserved warehouse stock. Source failures stop the report rather than substitute old snapshots.

Supplier codes are not independently corroborated manufacturer ordering codes. The API price is its unit_price field; the unit of measure may be unknown. Verify purchase terms and availability with the seller before ordering. This service supplies information and makes no purchases.

Agent integration

Use Apify's standard Actor run API or its MCP tools, supplying this Actor and the input above. Read the resulting dataset or the existing run's key-value files. A retry to retrieve a completed report should reuse its run ID rather than start a new comparison.

Owner/development tests are excluded from customer sales, repeat-customer counts, earnings and profit.

Requests across hosted runs share one durable supplier lane, with at least two seconds between dispatches and an earliest grant cadence of three seconds. Every attempted request logs sanitized status and latency. A rate-limit response stops the report before its fee and applies a shared cooldown. Interrupted attempts are reconciled only when non-dispatch or source settlement is established; unknown outcomes stay held for review. Recovery records are encrypted and excluded from report files.

A 100-code report normally needs at least five minutes under shared pacing; the default timeout is ten minutes. During overlapping demand or supplier failures, a run may stop without a report fee. This pilot provides a complete report only when every requested code and delivery check succeeds.
