## 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

## Anker Reviews Scraper

The Anker Reviews Scraper is a powerful Apify Actor designed to extract customer reviews from Anker product pages on their official website. It provides reliable, structured data for analyzing product feedback, enabling businesses and researchers to gain insights into customer satisfaction and market trends. This tool simplifies the process of gathering authentic reviews without manual effort, saving time and ensuring data accuracy.

### Features

- **Comprehensive Review Extraction**: Scrapes detailed review data including ratings, timestamps, reviewer details, and full review text from Anker product pages.
- **High Reliability**: Utilizes robust scraping techniques with proxy support to handle anti-bot measures and ensure consistent data retrieval.
- **Customizable Limits**: Allows setting maximum item limits to control the volume of scraped reviews, optimizing performance and costs.
- **Structured Output**: Delivers clean, JSON-formatted data ready for integration into databases, analytics tools, or reporting systems.
- **Proxy Integration**: Supports Apify's residential proxies for anonymous and efficient scraping, reducing the risk of IP blocks.
- **Fast and Scalable**: Built on Python Scrapy for high-speed extraction, capable of handling multiple URLs simultaneously.
- **Error-Resilient**: Includes built-in error handling to manage network issues, page changes, or incomplete data gracefully.

### Input Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description | Example |
|-----------|------|----------|-------------|---------|
| urls | array | Yes | List of Anker product URLs to scrape reviews from. Each URL should point to a product page with a reviews section. | \["https://www.anker.com/products/a1289?variant=41974285041814\&collections_power-banks-for-apple=undefined\&Sort_by=Recommended#reviews-jdgm"] |
| item_limit | integer | No | The maximum number of reviews to scrape per URL. Set to 0 for unlimited (though practical limits apply). | 30 |
| proxyConfiguration | object | No | Configuration for proxy servers to anonymize requests. Uses Apify Proxy by default with residential groups for better success rates. | {"useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": \["RESIDENTIAL"]} |

### Example Usage

To run the Anker Reviews Scraper, provide input in JSON format like this:

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.anker.com/products/a1289?variant=41974285041814&collections_power-banks-for-apple=undefined&Sort_by=Recommended#reviews-jdgm"
  ],
  "item_limit": 30,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
  }
}
```

Example output in JSON format:

```json
[
  {
    "product_id": "7531496243350",
    "review_id": "6ec807bd-eb53-4046-9e79-d1dd17877891",
    "product_title": "Anker 737 Power Bank (PowerCore 24K)",
    "product_url": "/products/a1289",
    "verified_buyer": "true",
    "rating": "5",
    "timestamp": "N/A",
    "reviewer_name": "Christian W.",
    "reviewer_location": "US",
    "title": "Great product, terrible service",
    "body": "The product works. Does everything fantastic, even lasts long. But when I was purchasing it, there is a bunch of confusion with the shipping and their support was absolutely unhelpful. I kept getting confusion with their support, I would reply to their emails, and they would never respond to that. Their support is automated and just kept saying the estimated date of normal shipping yet i had next day shipping. They only became helpful that 2 times I actually spoke to real people and they didn't help until after it was already shipped late."
  }
]
```

### Use Cases

- **Market Research**: Analyze customer sentiments to identify trends in product quality and preferences for Anker devices.
- **Competitive Intelligence**: Compare Anker reviews with competitors to benchmark performance and pricing strategies.
- **Price Monitoring**: Track review volumes and ratings to inform dynamic pricing or promotional campaigns.
- **Content Aggregation**: Collect reviews for content creation, such as blog posts or social media insights on tech products.
- **Academic Research**: Gather data for studies on consumer behavior in e-commerce, focusing on electronics reviews.
- **Business Automation**: Integrate scraped reviews into dashboards for automated reporting on customer feedback.

### Installation and Usage

1. Search for "Anker Reviews Scraper" in the Apify Store.
2. Click "Try for free" or "Run".
3. Configure input parameters as described above.
4. Click "Start" to begin extraction.
5. Monitor progress in the log.
6. Export results in your preferred format (JSON, CSV, Excel).

### Output Format

The output is an array of JSON objects, each representing a single review. Key fields include:

- `product_id`: Unique identifier for the product.
- `review_id`: Unique identifier for the review.
- `product_title`: Name of the product.
- `product_url`: Relative URL to the product page.
- `verified_buyer`: Boolean indicating if the reviewer is verified.
- `rating`: Numerical rating (e.g., 1-5).
- `timestamp`: Date of the review (may be "N/A" if unavailable).
- `reviewer_name`: Name of the reviewer.
- `reviewer_location`: Location of the reviewer.
- `title`: Title of the review.
- `body`: Full text of the review.

Data is clean and structured for easy parsing and analysis.

### Error Handling

The Actor handles common errors such as network timeouts, invalid URLs, or page structure changes by logging issues and attempting retries. If a URL fails, it will be noted in the logs, and partial data may still be output. For persistent issues, check the Apify console for details and consider adjusting proxy settings or reducing item limits.

### Rate Limiting and Best Practices

Apify enforces rate limits to prevent abuse; this Actor respects them by default. Best practices include:

- Use residential proxies for better success rates on e-commerce sites.
- Limit item counts to avoid overloading servers and reduce costs.
- Run during off-peak hours to minimize detection risks.
- Monitor logs for errors and adjust inputs accordingly.
- Export data promptly to avoid storage limits.

### Limitations and Considerations

- Only scrapes from Anker's official website; custom or third-party sites are not supported.
- Review timestamps may be unavailable for some entries.
- High-volume scraping may require premium Apify plans for extended proxy usage.
- Data accuracy depends on website changes; updates may be needed if Anker alters their page structure.
- Not intended for real-time monitoring; best for batch extractions.

## MCP server setup

```

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).
