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.

Search for "Chi Product Urls Listing" in the Apify Store. 2. Click "Try for free" or "Run". 3. Configure input parameters as needed. 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 a JSON array where each object contains: - `product_name`: The name of the product. - `post_image`: URL of the product image. - `price`: Price of the product as a string. - `currency`: Currency code for the price. - `url`: Direct link to the product page. - `input_source_key`: Identifier for the source URL used in scraping. - `actor_id`: Unique identifier for the actor instance. - `run_id`: Unique identifier for the run. ### Error Handling The Actor includes robust error handling mechanisms. If a URL is unreachable or data extraction fails, it logs detailed error messages to help diagnose issues. Users can adjust configurations and retry as needed. ### Rate Limiting and Best Practices To avoid being blocked by the target website, adhere to best practices such as: - Respecting `robots.txt` directives. - Implementing delays between requests if necessary. - Monitoring for any rate limiting responses from the server. ### Limitations and Considerations - Ensure URLs are valid and accessible. - Be aware of potential changes in website structure that may affect data extraction. - The Actor is optimized for Chi's website; performance may vary with other sites. ### Support For custom/simplified outputs or bug reports, please contact: - Email: support@getdataforme.com - Subject line: "custom support" - Contact form: [Get Data For Me](https://getdataforme.com/contact/) We're here to help you get the most out of this Actor! # Actor input Schema ## `Urls` (type: `array`): The urls for the spider. ## `item_limit` (type: `integer`): Maximum items to scrape per actor run.
