## Pricing

from $1.00 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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

## Phones Database Actor

A comprehensive Actor for extracting phone and device data from a phones database. This Actor allows you to search for mobile devices either by brand or release year, providing detailed specifications and technical information for each device.

### Features

- **Search by Brand**: Get all phones from a specific manufacturer (e.g., Apple, Samsung, Nokia)
- **Search by Release Year**: Get all phones released in a specific year
- **Complete Device Data**: Returns comprehensive specifications including hardware, software, display, connectivity, and more
- **No Pagination Limits**: Automatically fetches all available results for your search criteria
- **Clean Data Output**: Structured JSON output ready for analysis or integration

### Input

The Actor accepts the following input parameters:

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `searchType` | String | Yes | Choose search method: `"brand"` or `"releaseYear"` |
| `brand` | String | Conditional | Brand name to search for (required when `searchType` is `"brand"`) |
| `releaseYear` | String | Conditional | Release year to search for (required when `searchType` is `"releaseYear"`) |

#### Input Examples

**Search by Brand:**

```json
{
  "searchType": "brand",
  "brand": "Apple"
}
```

**Search by Release Year:**

```json
{
  "searchType": "releaseYear", 
  "releaseYear": "2023"
}
```

### Output

The Actor outputs a structured dataset containing detailed phone specifications. Each device record includes:

- **Basic Info**: ID, brand, model, release date, hardware designer
- **Physical**: Dimensions, weight, build materials
- **Display**: Screen size, resolution, display type, pixel density
- **Hardware**: CPU, RAM, storage, chipset details
- **Connectivity**: Cellular bands, WiFi, Bluetooth, USB specifications
- **Camera**: Camera specifications, video recording capabilities
- **Battery**: Battery type, capacity, charging specifications
- **Software**: Operating system, platform details
- **Market**: Supported countries and regions

echo '{
  "brand": "Apple",
  "releaseYear": "2023"
}' |
apify call fetchcraftlabs/phones-specs-db --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,fetchcraftlabs/phones-specs-db"

    }
}
```

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).
