## 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.

# README

## Turkey Gold Prices — Gram, Quarter, Ons + Banks & Jewelers

Live Turkish gold market in one clean dataset: **gram altın, çeyrek (quarter), yarım, tam, Cumhuriyet, Ata, Reşat, bilezik karats, ons, silver, platinum, palladium** — with buy/sell, spread, daily change and quote time.

### Multi-source comparison — the unique part

Turkey has no single gold price. This actor scrapes them side by side:

- **serbest-piyasa** — the free-market reference everyone quotes
- **Jewelers:** harem, altinkaynak, odaci, venus
- **Banks (~35):** ziraat-bankasi, isbankasi, garanti-bbva, akbank, halkbank, vakifbank, yapikredi, kuveyt-turk, qnb-finansbank, enpara, denizbank, ing-bank, ...
- **Fintechs:** papara, hepsipay, getirfinans

One item per instrument per source → instant buy/sell comparison across the whole market.

### Example item

```json
{
  "source": "serbest-piyasa",
  "instrument": "Gram Altın",
  "buy": 6693.82,
  "sell": 6694.69,
  "spread": 0.87,
  "changePct": 0.05,
  "currency": "TRY",
  "quotedAtLocal": "12:04"
}
```

### Use cases

- Price widgets for Turkish finance/news sites
- Best-rate finders: which bank/jeweler has the lowest gram-gold spread right now
- Arbitrage & spread monitoring across 35+ sources
- Historical archiving of the Turkish retail gold market (schedule daily)
- Alerts when çeyrek/gram crosses a threshold

### Input

- **sources** — list of source slugs (see above). Empty = free market only.
- Proxy: Apify automatic.

### Notes

Prices are as published by the source pages (market data can be delayed by up to ~15 minutes). One run with 3 sources ≈ 40–60 rows.

# Actor input Schema

## `sources` (type: `array`):

Price sources: "serbest-piyasa" (free market), jewelers ("harem", "altinkaynak", "odaci", "venus") and banks ("ziraat-bankasi", "garanti-bbva", "isbankasi", "akbank", "halkbank", "vakifbank", "yapikredi", "kuveyt-turk", ...). Empty = serbest-piyasa only.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Apify Proxy (automatic) is recommended.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "sources": [
    "serbest-piyasa",
    "harem",
    "altinkaynak"
  ],
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}
```

# 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "sources": [
        "serbest-piyasa",
        "harem",
        "altinkaynak"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("gmpsignal/turkey-gold-prices").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);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "sources": [
        "serbest-piyasa",
        "harem",
        "altinkaynak",
    ] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("gmpsignal/turkey-gold-prices").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "sources": [
    "serbest-piyasa",
    "harem",
    "altinkaynak"
  ]
}' |
apify call gmpsignal/turkey-gold-prices --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,gmpsignal/turkey-gold-prices"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
