It has two run modes. 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. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## 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. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ## Contact If you encounter any issues or need to exchange information, please feel free to contact us through the following link: [My profile](https://apify.com/ecomscrape) ## Bol.com Review Scraper - Automated Review Extraction ### Introduction Bol.com stands as the Netherlands' largest e-commerce platform, serving 13.6 million active customers across the Netherlands and Belgium with over 41 million unique products.

Rarement senti aussi trompé. Ce sont des oreilles d'imitation. Mon iPhone ne les reconnaît pas non plus comme originaux. Les écouteurs sont annoncés comme réels et livrés dans une boîte Apple qui ne peut pas être distinguée des vrais. Différence de son à gauche et à droite. Dommage que cela soit vendu par Bol.
