## What's an Apify Actor?

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 Livre Product Detail - Scrape Products by URL

Give it Mercado Livre / Mercado Libre product URLs, get back full product detail per URL: name, description, price, discount, variants, seller info, ratings, attributes, full image gallery, shipping. Supports **Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Uruguay, Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador**.

No login, no cookies, no setup. Works out of the box on a paid Apify plan.

### Why a dedicated PDP actor?

The companion [Mercado Livre Scraper](https://apify.com/gio21/mercado-livre-scraper) is built for **discovery** (keyword/category searches returning many products with card-level fields). This actor is built for **detail** (you already have product URLs; you need the rich PDP data: full description, attributes, full image gallery, seller profile, reviews).

If you paste a product URL into the discovery actor, you'll get a search instead. This actor does what you actually want: one URL in, one product detail record out.

### Free vs. paid Apify plans

This actor relies on residential proxies funded by the actor author. **Free Apify accounts cannot pull live Mercado Livre data.**

- **Free plan:** returns a clearly-labelled **MOCK sample** (every record has `_mock: true` and a `_notice` field) so you can inspect the exact output shape before committing.
- **Paid plan:** real, live Mercado Livre data.

Upgrade at <https://apify.com/pricing> and re-run.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `productUrls` | Array (required) | List of Mercado Livre product URLs. |
| `debug` | Boolean | Verbose logs. |

#### Supported URL formats

All of these work:

````

https://www.mercadolivre.com.br/p/MLB4410983832
https://www.mercadolivre.com.br/iphone-15-128gb/p/MLB4410983832
https://produto.mercadolivre.com.br/MLB-1234567890-slug-name
https://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/MLA-1234567890-slug-name
https://www.mercadolibre.com.mx/p/MLM4410983832
MLB4410983832                                            ## bare ID also accepted

````

Countries auto-detected from the URL prefix:
- `MLB` → Brazil (mercadolivre.com.br)
- `MLA` → Argentina (mercadolibre.com.ar)
- `MLM` → Mexico (mercadolibre.com.mx)
- `MLC` → Chile / `MCO` → Colombia / `MLU` → Uruguay / `MPE` → Peru / `MLV` → Venezuela / `MEC` → Ecuador

### Output

One record per URL:

```json
{
  "itemId": "MLB4410983832",
  "country": "BR",
  "name": "Apple iPhone 15 128 GB Rosa - Distribuidor Autorizado",
  "description": "Full product description as listed on Mercado Livre...",
  "brand": "Apple",
  "categoryPath": ["Celulares e Telefones", "Celulares e Smartphones", "Apple iPhone"],
  "attributes": [
    { "name": "Capacidade", "value": "128 GB" },
    { "name": "Cor",        "value": "Rosa"   }
  ],
  "price": 4299.00,
  "originalPrice": 5499.00,
  "discountPercent": 22,
  "isOnSale": true,
  "currency": "BRL",
  "available": 50,
  "soldQuantity": 1284,
  "rating": 4.8,
  "reviewCount": 312,
  "sellerName": "Apple Distribuidor",
  "sellerReputation": "platinum",
  "freeShipping": true,
  "imagesCount": 8,
  "images": ["https://http2.mlstatic.com/D_NQ_NP_...", "..."],
  "videoUrl": null,
  "url": "https://www.mercadolivre.com.br/p/MLB4410983832"
}
````

On a **free plan**, every record additionally carries `_mock: true` and an `_notice` upgrade message.

#### Field notes

- `price`: current sale price.
- `originalPrice`: listed price before discount. `null` when not on sale.
- `discountPercent`: integer percent off, computed from `originalPrice` and `price`. `null` when not on sale.
- `isOnSale`: boolean. `true` only when `originalPrice > price`.
- `available`: total available stock when Mercado Livre exposes it.
- `soldQuantity`: lifetime sold count where available. Mercado Livre sometimes hides this.
- `sellerReputation`: `platinum` / `gold` / `silver` / `bronze` / `null`.
- `freeShipping`: `true` when Mercado Livre flags this product for free shipping.
- `attributes`: list of `{name, value}` pairs from the listing's spec table.
- `categoryPath`: breadcrumb from root category to leaf.
- `images`: up to 12 full-resolution images.

### Pricing

Billed **per dataset item returned**. One URL processed successfully = one billed record. URLs that fail to scrape (404, removed listing, Akamai block) emit an `error` record and are **not** billed as products.

### How fast?

Each product takes roughly 8-15 seconds. 100 URLs ≈ 15-20 minutes.

### Companion actor

Need to **find** products by keyword instead of scraping known URLs? Use [Mercado Livre Scraper](https://apify.com/gio21/mercado-livre-scraper).

### Limitations

- Mercado Livre is fronted by Akamai Bot Manager. The actor uses residential proxies + browser fingerprinting to bypass it. Aggressive runs (hundreds of URLs back-to-back) may hit transient blocks; the actor retries up to 2 times per URL before giving up.
- `soldQuantity` is sometimes `null` because Mercado Livre hides it on some listings.

### Support

If you hit an issue, open an issue on the Apify Store. Include the input URL, the run ID, and the error message.

If this actor helped you, please leave a review on the Apify Store.
