## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

### Frequently Asked Questions

**What is the difference between eBay and Etsy for watches?**
eBay is the largest marketplace with active Rolex, Omega, and Seiko listings at every price point. Etsy specializes in handmade, restored, and unique vintage watches from independent sellers. eBay is best for mainstream models; Etsy is best for unique finds.

**Can I scrape both eBay and Etsy in one run?**
Yes. By default, the actor scrapes both marketplaces. You can configure `marketplaces: ["ebay"]` or `marketplaces: ["etsy"]` to limit to one.

**Can I get sold listing prices from eBay?**
Limited. eBay sold data (last 30 days) requires the LH\_Complete=1 parameter which is currently throttled by Bright Data. For sold prices, use our Chrono24 actor (asking prices) or check eBay directly.

**How accurate are the prices?**
Prices are the listing's current asking price (eBay) or shop price (Etsy). For sold/transactional data, supplement with other sources.

**Does this work for non-watch products?**
Yes. While designed for watches, the actor works for any product on eBay or Etsy. The 8 pre-built categories are watch-focused but the smart search handles any product.

**Is this better than the yesintelligent Etsy scraper?**
This actor ($3.50/1k) is cheaper than yesintelligent ($4/1k) and includes both eBay AND Etsy in one run. yesintelligent focuses on Etsy only.

**Can I track a specific seller?**
Not directly. But you can use `customSearchTerms` with seller-specific keywords or use the eBay seller URL in custom search.
