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 ## Amazon Best Sellers Monitor Monitor Amazon Best Sellers, New Releases, and Movers and Shakers pages by URL. The actor returns ranked product rows with rank, ASIN, title, product URL, price, rating, list type, and run summaries. Best first run: ```json { "listUrls": ["https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers/zgbs"], "maxProducts": 25, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } } ```` Use this for product-trend scouting, marketplace category research, launch monitoring, and competitor discovery. Start with one ranked-list URL before scheduling category monitoring. Pricing is pay per event: `list-processed` is charged only when a list returns products, and `ranked-product-scraped` is charged per ranked product row. Blocked, empty, or invalid pages return no-charge diagnostic rows. Amazon is anti-bot-sensitive. Residential proxy is recommended. Users are responsible for complying with Amazon terms and applicable laws. # Actor input Schema ## `listUrls` (type: `array`): Amazon Best Sellers, New Releases, or Movers and Shakers URLs. ## `url` (type: `string`): Hidden alias for one list URL. ## `startUrl` (type: `string`): Hidden alias for one list URL. ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Hidden alias for listUrls. ## `amazonDomain` (type: `string`): Default Amazon marketplace when no URL is supplied. ## `domain` (type: `string`): Hidden alias for amazonDomain. ## `maxProducts` (type: `integer`): Maximum products to return per list. ## `maxProductsPerList` (type: `integer`): Hidden alias for maxProducts. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Residential proxy is recommended for Amazon. ## Actor input object example ```json { "listUrls": [ "https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers/zgbs" ], "amazonDomain": "amazon.com", "maxProducts": 50, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `datasetOutput` (type: `string`): No description # 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 = { "listUrls": [ "https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers/zgbs" ], "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("harvestlab/amazon-bestsellers-monitor").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 📖?
