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.

Default: `false`. | | `proxy_configuration`| `string`| No | Proxy strategy: `direct`, `apify`, `custom`, `auto`. Default: `auto`. | ### Example Inputs #### Search for "chair" ```json { "operation": "search", "search_query": "chair", "page": 1, "page_size": 24 } ```` #### Browse Category ```json { "operation": "category", "category_id": "st001", "page": 1 } ``` #### Get specific Item by URL ```json { "operation": "item", "url": "https://www.ikea.com/au/en/p/poang-armchair-skold-black-s49285135/", "include_variants": true } ``` ### Output Fields The scraper returns a list of product objects.
