## 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.

### 🎯 Turn public catalog changes into a useful signal

Monitor public WooCommerce catalogs for current products, pricing, availability, new items, restocks, updates, and confirmed removals. Each record stays connected to the public listing so an operator, analyst, or sourcing team can verify the context before acting.

#### Who gets value

- **I am a ecommerce pricing analyst** looking to turn a competitor store list into an auditable price and availability feed.
- **I am a catalog operations lead** looking to keep current public product data without opening every store by hand.
- **I am a market researcher** looking to compare availability and pricing across a defined seller or store list.

### ⚡ Get results in three steps

Start with a small public source to confirm the output fits your workflow. Repeat the same setup on an Apify schedule when you need ongoing catalog visibility.

### ❓ Frequently asked questions

These answers cover the safest way to get a reliable first result. Start with a small public source and confirm its scope before setting up recurring monitoring.

#### Can I start with a normal public source link?

Yes. Paste the public source described in the input form, then use the available filters to narrow the collection.

#### Can I use this for recurring monitoring?

Yes. Run it on an Apify schedule and choose the change-focused output when you only need records that have meaningfully changed.

#### How are removed products handled?

A product is only treated as removed after complete checks confirm it is no longer present. This reduces false removal events caused by incomplete source results.

#### Do I need a seller or store account?

No. This Actor is designed for publicly available information and does not request seller, shopper, or owner account access.

### 🛡️ Use public information responsibly

Use the records for legitimate competitor research, catalog operations, and price analysis. Respect the source’s terms and intended use, minimize retention, and do not use the data for deceptive or harmful practices.
