Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Mercado Libre Scraper Scrape products from **Mercado Libre** across all Hispanic Latin American markets — Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Paraguay, and more. > For Brazil (`mercadolivre.com.br`), use the dedicated **Mercado Livre Scraper** instead. ### What it extracts | Field | Description | |---|---| | `productId` | Mercado Libre item ID (MLA/MLM/MCO/MLC/MPE/MLU/etc.) | | `title` | Product title | | `price` | Current price | | `currency` | Local currency (ARS, MXN, COP, CLP, PEN, UYU, VES, USD, BOB, PYG) | | `originalPrice` | Original price before discount | | `discount` | Discount label (e.g. "20% OFF") | | `installments` | Installments info ("12x sin interés") | | `rating` | Product rating (0-5) | | `seller` | Seller name | | `condition` | "Nuevo", "Usado", "Reacondicionado" | | `shipping` | Shipping label | | `freeShipping` | True if "Envío gratis" or "Full" | | `highlight` | Promotional highlight (e.g. "MÁS VENDIDO") | | `coupon` | Coupon label | | `variations` | Variations summary | | `image` | Product image URL | | `url` | Product URL | | `country` | ISO country code (echoed from input) | | `scrapedAt` | ISO timestamp | ### How to use #### Input | Field | Required | Description | |---|---|---| | `keyword` | yes | Search keyword (e.g. `iphone`, `notebook`, `refrigerador`) | | `country` | yes | ISO country code: `AR`, `MX`, `CO`, `CL`, `PE`, `UY`, `VE`, `EC`, `BO`, `PY`, `PA`, `DO`, `CR`, `GT`, `HN`, `NI`, `SV` | | `maxItems` | no | Max products to scrape (default: 50) | | `maxPages` | no | Max search-result pages to crawl (default: 5; ~48 products per page) | | `sort` | no | `relevance` / `price_asc` / `price_desc` / `newest` | #### Example: 30 iPhones from Mexico, cheapest first ```json { "keyword": "iphone", "country": "MX", "maxItems": 30, "sort": "price_asc" } ```` #### Example: 50 laptops from Argentina ```json { "keyword": "notebook", "country": "AR", "maxItems": 50 } ``` ### Pricing Pay-per-event: **$0.005 per product scraped**. No platform usage cost — predictable per-row pricing. Free users get up to 15 products per run (Apify free plan). ### How it works - PlaywrightCrawler with browser fingerprinting (Chrome 120+, desktop, Windows/macOS, target-country locale). - RESIDENTIAL proxy in the target country to defeat Akamai Bot Manager (Mercado Libre's anti-bot layer; serves a 2.5 KB micro-landing to non-browser clients regardless of country). - Each search page returns up to 48 cards; we paginate via `_Desde_N` offset. - Ad placements (`click1.mercadolibre`) have their `productId` recovered from `wid=` / `item_id=` URL params. # Actor input Schema ## `keyword` (type: `string`): Product keyword to search on Mercado Libre (e.g. iphone, notebook, refrigerador) ## `country` (type: `string`): ISO country code of the Mercado Libre marketplace to scrape. Each country has its own catalog, currency, and prices. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of products to scrape (default: 50) ## `maxPages` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of search result pages to scrape (default: 5, each page has ~48 products) ## `sort` (type: `string`): How to sort search results ## Actor input object example ```json { "keyword": "iphone", "country": "AR", "maxItems": 20, "maxPages": 3, "sort": "relevance" } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): All scraped Mercado Livre products with title, price, rating, reviews, seller, shipping, image, and URL. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "keyword": "iphone", "country": "AR", "maxItems": 20, "maxPages": 3, "sort": "relevance" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("gio21/mercado-libre-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
