## Pricing

from $0.90 / 1,000 result records

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`).

### ❓ FAQ

##### Does it need a TradeKorea account or login?

No. It reads public pages only. Buyer emails, phone numbers and inquiry forms are not touched, and personal contact details that a buyer typed into a request text are removed.

##### How do I get only new buying leads every day?

Give the run a `monitorName`, set the keywords, category or countries you care about and schedule it daily. Each run marks leads as new, updated or expired, and `onlyChanges` returns only those.

##### How do I know which leads are still open?

Every lead carries `expiresAt`, `daysUntilExpiry` and `isOpen`. Open leads only is on by default, and `expiringWithinDays` keeps the ones closing soon.

##### What happens when TradeKorea does not publish a field?

It is left out of the row. Nothing is guessed or filled in.

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).
