## 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

## Amazon Reviews Scraper: Rating Drops & New 1-Star Reviews

**Amazon Reviews Scraper** - Watch your products and your rivals': every run shows rating and review-count changes and any new low-star review on the product page.

### What does Amazon Reviews Scraper do?

It works without an Amazon account - Amazon now asks for a sign-in to open the full review pages that classic review scrapers depend on, which is why they fail - and it reports what changed since your last run: rating moves, new reviews, new 1-2 star reviews.

- Rating and review count with the change since your last run
- Star distribution in percent
- New featured reviews and new 1-2 star reviews flagged
- Review stars, title, date, verified badge, text and helpful votes
- No Amazon account, no reviewer names collected

### Why this Amazon Reviews Scraper?

Amazon now requires a sign-in for full review pages, so they fail or need cookies. This Amazon Reviews Scraper checks every run and tells you plainly when a page could not be read, instead of returning empty or wrong rows.

### FAQ

**Does Amazon Reviews Scraper need a login, cookies or an API key?** No. It reads public pages only.

**Can I run Amazon Reviews Scraper on a schedule?** Yes - with Apify Schedules; each run returns fresh rows.

**Can I call it from Python, JavaScript or an AI agent?** Yes - through the Apify API, the Apify client libraries or the Apify MCP server.

**Is it legal?** It collects only data anyone can see without logging in. You are responsible for using it within the source site's terms and data protection law (GDPR, CCPA).

**What if the site blocks a request?** The run retries from a fresh connection and, if it still cannot read the page, stops with a clear message - never with made-up rows.

**Do I need proxies?** No setup needed - Amazon Reviews Scraper uses Apify Proxy by default where the site needs it.

### Troubleshooting

- **No results:** check the input (a public URL or a search term that returns results in a normal browser), then try the example input once.
- **Fewer results than expected:** raise the maximum in the input; some sites show only a part of their data without logging in, and Amazon Reviews Scraper never logs in.
- **The run stopped with a message:** the message says what the site answered; run it again later or with fewer items.

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).
