## 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`).

### 🔍 What is ASIN and GTIN?

#### 💻 What is an ASIN?

**ASIN** (Amazon Standard Identification Number) is a unique 10-character alphanumeric identifier assigned by Amazon to products in their catalog.

- **Format**: 10 characters, always starts with 'B'
- **Example**: `B0CHWWNKS6`
- **Where to find**: Product detail page URL or product information section

#### 🏷️ What is a GTIN?

**GTIN** (Global Trade Item Number) is an internationally recognized barcode identifier used for product identification.

**Common GTIN Types**:

- **EAN-13**: 13-digit European Article Number (e.g., `0195949037917`)
- **UPC**: 12-digit Universal Product Code (e.g., `195949036118`)
- **ISBN**: For books
- **EAN-8**: 8-digit short version

#### 🔍 How to Find ASINs

**Method 1: From Product URL**

1. Visit any Amazon product page
2. Look at the URL: `https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CHWWNKS6`
3. The ASIN is after `/dp/` or `/product/`
4. **Example**: `amazon.com/dp/B0CHWWNKS6` → ASIN: `B0CHWWNKS6`

**Method 2: From Product Details**

1. Scroll to "Product Information" section
2. Find "ASIN" field
3. Copy the 10-character code

**Method 3: From Amazon Seller Central**

- If you're a seller, ASINs are listed in your inventory

#### ✅ Valid ASIN Formats

- ✅ `B0CHWWNKS6` (starts with B, 10 characters)
- ✅ `B08N5WRWNW`
- ✅ `B09G9FPHY6`
- ❌ `0195949037917` (this is a GTIN, not an ASIN)
- ❌ `B0CHW` (too short, must be 10 characters)

### ❓ FAQ

#### General Questions

**Q: What is ASIN to GTIN conversion?**

- It's the process of converting Amazon's internal product identifier (ASIN) to universal barcode identifiers (GTINs) like EAN-13 and UPC that are used globally.

**Q: Why do I need to convert ASIN to GTIN?**

- GTINs are required for inventory management, product catalogs, price comparison tools, shipping labels, and integration with other e-commerce platforms.

**Q: What data will I get?**

- You'll get all available GTIN types for each ASIN including EAN-13, UPC, and other barcode formats specific to the product.

**Q: Can I convert multiple ASINs at once?**

- Yes! You can convert up to 100 ASINs in a single run for efficient bulk processing.

#### Technical Questions

**Q: Which marketplaces are supported?**

- 24+ marketplaces including US, GB, DE, JP, IN, FR, IT, ES, CA, BR, AU, MX, NL, SE, PL, BE, SA, AE, ZA, IE, EG, SG, TR, CN.

**Q: Do different marketplaces return different GTINs for the same ASIN?**

- Sometimes yes. The same product may have different GTIN associations in different regions, which is why marketplace selection is important.

**Q: What if an ASIN doesn't have a GTIN?**

- The actor will log an error for that specific ASIN and continue processing others. Some products (especially books) may not have standard GTINs.

**Q: How long does it take to convert ASINs?**

- Approximately 1-2 seconds per ASIN. 50 ASINs take about 1-2 minutes.

**Q: What output formats are available?**

- JSON, CSV, Excel (XLSX), and HTML table formats.

#### Data & Privacy

**Q: Is this data publicly available?**

- Yes, all GTIN data is publicly available on Amazon product pages.

**Q: Can I use this data commercially?**

- Yes, for legitimate business purposes like inventory management, product cataloging, and e-commerce operations.

**Q: How often should I update the data?**

- GTINs rarely change, but you may want to re-convert if Amazon updates product information or if you're expanding to new marketplaces.

### 🛠️ Troubleshooting

| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| ❌ "No ASINs provided" | Empty or missing `asins` array | Add at least one valid ASIN |
| ❌ "Invalid ASIN format" | ASIN doesn't match B\[0-9A-Z]{9} pattern | Ensure ASIN is 10 characters, starts with 'B', and is uppercase |
| ❌ "ASIN not found" | Invalid ASIN or product doesn't exist | Verify the ASIN is correct and exists on Amazon |
| ⚠️ "Invalid response format" | API or network issue | Try again in a few moments |
| 🌍 Wrong marketplace data | Incorrect country code | Ensure you're using the right marketplace code (US, GB, etc.) |
| 📄 No GTINs found | Product doesn't have GTINs | Some products (especially private label) may not have GTINs |
| 🔄 Rate limit errors | Too many requests | Actor handles this automatically with retries |
| ⏱️ Slow performance | Large batch size | Reduce batch size to 50 ASINs per run |
