Type:string

Example:Ray-Ban

Your official domains

officialDomains

Optional

Every domain you legitimately own: your shop, your country sites, your brand microsites. These are excluded from the results and are used as the baseline for lookalike domain detection. Add them without https://.

Type:array

Example:

[
  "ray-ban.com",
  "rayban.com"
]

What to look for

checks

Optional

Pick the abuse types to sweep for. Each one costs candidates, so start with the first two and widen once you see the results.

Type:string[]

Default:

[
  "fake_shops",
  "marketplace_listings",
  "typosquat_domains"
]

Product lines to focus on

productKeywords

Optional

Optional. Model names or product lines counterfeiters copy most, for example Wayfarer or Aviator. Each keyword adds a few targeted searches.

Type:array

Example:

[
  "Wayfarer",
  "Aviator"
]

Notes for the AI reviewer

brandContext

Optional

Optional. Anything that helps the AI judge borderline cases: who your authorized retailers are, which regions you sell in, your usual price range, or names that clash with yours.

Type:string

Example:Sold only through opticians and our own site. Any standalone shop offering 70% off is not authorized.

Confirm an infringement at risk score

minRiskScore

Optional

A hit is only counted and billed as a confirmed infringement at or above this AI risk score. Lower it to catch more, raise it to cut false positives.

Type:integer

Minimum:0

Maximum:100

Default:60

Maximum candidates to screen

maxCandidates

Optional

Hard cap on how many discovered URLs and domains get AI-screened in one run. This is the main cost control.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:2000

Default:120

Search result pages per query

pagesPerQuery

Optional

How deep to read each search. Page 1 holds the sites shoppers actually reach; deeper pages find more but are lower quality.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:5

Default:2

Lookalike domains to generate per official domain

domainVariants

Optional

Misspellings, character swaps, hyphenations, added words and alternative TLDs are generated from each official domain, then checked for live DNS. Only registered ones cost anything to screen.

Type:integer

Minimum:0

Maximum:400

Default:120

Search from country

countryCode

Optional

Two-letter country code the searches run from. Counterfeit storefronts are often targeted by region, so sweep your key markets separately.

Type:string

Default:us

Example:gb

Marketplaces to sweep

marketplaces

Optional

Leave empty to use the built-in list of marketplaces where counterfeits concentrate. Add your own to target a specific platform.

Type:array

Example:

[
  "aliexpress.com",
  "dhgate.com"
]

Social platforms to sweep

socialPlatforms

Optional

Leave empty to use the built-in list. Only used when social media impersonation is enabled.

Type:array

Example:

[
  "facebook.com",
  "instagram.com"
]

Domains to ignore

ignoredDomains

Optional

Domains you never want screened: your authorized retailers, your distributors, press sites you already trust. Major news, encyclopedia and review sites are ignored by default.

Type:array

Example:

[
  "sunglasshut.com"
]

Open each candidate page for evidence

fetchPages

Optional

Loads the page so the AI judges the real content, not just a search snippet, and so signals like fake official claims and deep discounts are detected. Turn off for a faster, cheaper, shallower sweep.

Type:boolean

Default:true

Save a page snapshot for confirmed infringements

saveEvidence

Optional

Stores the raw HTML of every confirmed infringement in the key-value store, so you have dated proof to attach to a takedown notice.

Type:boolean

Default:true

Only output problem results

onlyInfringements

Optional

Keeps confirmed infringements and grey-area hits in the dataset and drops the clean ones. Screening is still charged for everything checked.

Type:boolean

Default:false

AI model

model

Optional

The model that judges each candidate. A cheap fast model is enough for most sweeps. AI usage is billed separately by Apify's model integration, not by this Actor, and the price per million tokens is shown next to each option.

Type:string

Default:google/gemini-2.5-flash

Optional

Optional. Overrides the dropdown with any model ID available through the gateway, for example openai/gpt-4.1-mini.

Type:string

OpenRouter API key

openrouterApiKey

Optional

Optional. Bring your own OpenRouter key and calls go straight to OpenRouter, billed by them on your own OpenRouter account instead of through Apify. Leave empty to use the built-in access, which needs no key at all.

Type:string

Concurrency

concurrency

Optional

How many candidates are fetched and classified at once. Higher is faster; lower is gentler on the sites being checked.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:25

Default:8

How many times a failed classification is retried before the candidate is reported as unclassified.

Type:integer

Minimum:0

Default:3

Proxy

proxyConfiguration

Optional

Proxy used to open candidate pages. Residential exits are recommended: fake shops routinely block datacenter traffic. This setting does not affect searching, which always goes through Apify's dedicated Google SERP proxy.

  "useApifyProxy": true,
  "apifyProxyGroups": [
    "RESIDENTIAL"
  ]
}

Apify token
