## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. 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

## OBI, HORNBACH & reichelt Price Monitor

Track prices, availability and delivery time for OBI, HORNBACH and reichelt article numbers or URLs: price, list price, stock, delivery days, rating and seller. Schedule it daily and get one dataset per run.

### What does it do?

Looks up **OBI, HORNBACH and reichelt** products by article number or URL and returns price, list price,
availability, delivery time, rating and seller, one row per product. Made for daily price monitoring of DIY and
electronics assortments in Germany.

### Use cases

- Monitor your products' prices at OBI, HORNBACH and reichelt every day
- Get alerts when an item goes out of stock or its delivery time changes
- Compare DIY store prices with Amazon, idealo and Geizhals

### How to use it

1. Enter your article numbers or product URLs per shop (one run can take many).
2. Start the run and download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or get them through the Apify API.
3. Schedule the Actor for daily monitoring, or connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n or Google Sheets.

### Input example

```json
{
  "obiIds": [
    "9543190"
  ],
  "reicheltIds": [
    "359846"
  ]
}
```

### Output example

One result (shortened):

```json
{
  "shop": "obi",
  "productId": "9543190",
  "productTitle": "LUX-TOOLS Akku-Bohrschrauber 1 PowerSystem A-BS-20",
  "price": 29.99,
  "retailPrice": 0,
  "available": true,
  "deliveryDays": 3,
  "productRating": "4.7"
}
```

### Pricing

Pay per result, no monthly fee:

- **$1.40 per 1,000 products** from OBI and reichelt
- **$1.75 per 1,000 products** from HORNBACH (runs through residential proxies)

Not found and failed lookups are free. Set a maximum cost per run in the run options and the Actor stops there.

### FAQ

**Do I need proxies or an account?** No. Blocking, retries and proxies are handled for you.

**How fresh is the data?** It is fetched live when the Actor runs.

**Is it legal?** The Actor only reads publicly visible pages. You are responsible for how you use the data,
including the site's terms and data protection law such as the GDPR.

**Something is missing or broken?** Open an issue on the Issues tab or write to support@everydata.io.

### Prefer a REST API?

The same data is available as a plain JSON API at [everydata.io](https://everydata.io), with a free plan.

# 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "obiIds": [
        "9543190"
    ],
    "reicheltIds": [
        "359846"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("everydata/obi-reichelt-hornbach-price-monitor").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);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "obiIds": ["9543190"],
    "reicheltIds": ["359846"],
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("everydata/obi-reichelt-hornbach-price-monitor").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "obiIds": [
    "9543190"
  ],
  "reicheltIds": [
    "359846"
  ]

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,everydata/obi-reichelt-hornbach-price-monitor"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
