## 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

## noon Keyword Rank Tracker

Tracks where a brand or SKU ranks for a keyword on noon.com, and who holds the slots above it, with price, rating, seller and best-seller rank on every position. Built for brands and agencies running search visibility in the Gulf. The UAE storefront (noon.com/uae-en) is verified, and Egypt works too.

### What you get

- Absolute rank per keyword: `keyword`, `page` and a `position` counting across pages.
- `is_sponsored` per result, so paid slots separate from organic ones on the same keyword.
- The offer that won the slot: `seller` names the store and `offer_code` the offer, which matters where the winner changes.
- Price at that rank, as `price` with `original_price` when reduced, plus `currency` (AED, SAR or EGP).
- Review strength of rivals: `rating` and `rating_count` on every position.
- noon's ranking and urgency signals: `is_bestseller`, `best_seller_rank` such as `#10`, `flags` like `rocket`, and `nudges`.
- `total_results`, noon's own keyword count, on every row, so the share-of-search denominator comes from the site.

### Input

Pass keywords, a storefront and how deep to capture.

```json
{
  "keywords": ["iphone"],
  "pages": 2,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "AE"
  },
  "locale": "uae-en",
  "delayMs": 1200
}
```

- `keywords` (required): the search terms to rank. Duplicates are ignored, so a messy list costs nothing extra.
- `locale`: `uae-en`, `uae-ar`, `egypt-en` or `egypt-ar`. Default `uae-en`. Read the limits below before picking a Saudi locale.
- `pages`: result pages per keyword, 1 to 10.
- `proxyConfiguration`: residential in the storefront's country, AE for UAE. The default is AE.

### Output

One dataset row per search result position.

```json
{
  "platform": "noon",
  "locale": "uae-en",
  "keyword": "iphone",
  "page": 1,
  "position": 1,
  "id": "N70211466V",
  "offer_code": "c5bb6c5cb690766a",
  "name": "iPhone 17 Pro Max 256 GB (eSIM only) Deep Blue 5G",
  "brand": "Apple",
  "brand_code": "apple",
  "price": 4649,
  "original_price": 5099,
  "currency": "AED",
  "rating": 4.5,
  "rating_count": 31233,
  "in_stock": true,
  "is_sponsored": false,
  "seller": "callmate",
  "best_seller_rank": "#10",
  "nudges": ["#10 in Smartphones", "Lowest price in a year"],
  "total_results": 1559,
  "captured_at": "2026-09-11T20:34:46.402Z"
}
```

`original_price` is null when the offer is not discounted, `rating` and `rating_count` are null on products with no reviews, `best_seller_rank` is null outside the ranked bestsellers.

### Use cases

- Share of search by brand: count your `brand_code` inside the top N positions per keyword, against `total_results`.
- Buy-box loss detection: watch `seller` and `offer_code` on your SKUs to see when a third party takes the slot.
- Price versus rank from `price`, `original_price` and `position`, to see what discount buys the top.
- Paid versus organic mix per keyword from `is_sponsored`, tracked over time as a media-pressure indicator.
- UAE against Egypt comparison on one keyword list, covering AED and EGP pricing in one dataset.

### Notes and limits

- `pages` is capped at 10 per keyword. Page one returns roughly 78 results and later pages around 50. A verified two page capture of `iphone` on `uae-en` returned 100 rows.
- The Saudi locales (`saudi-en`, `saudi-ar`) return Access Denied from every egress tested, a Saudi residential proxy included. The actor stops at once with a clear message. Use `uae-en` or Egypt.
- Sponsored slots are not on every keyword. Both verified captures reported zero sponsored results, so a `true` value is a real signal.
- noon sits behind a bot-management layer, so a real browser establishes the session once and pages are then fetched over fast HTTP with it.
- Results are deduplicated by SKU within a keyword, so a product across pages keeps its first position.

### FAQ

**Do I need a proxy?** Yes. Residential in the storefront's country, AE for the UAE locales and EG for Egypt. The input defaults to AE.

**How many results can I get?** Up to 10 pages per keyword, around 78 results on page one and 50 after. A verified two page capture returned 100 rows.

**Does it need a login or an API key?** No. No account and no API key.

**Why does a Saudi run fail instantly?** That storefront refused every egress tested, in-country residential exits included. The actor fails fast and names the working locales.

# Actor input Schema

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Search keywords to rank. Duplicates are ignored.

## `locale` (type: `string`):

Which noon storefront.

## `pages` (type: `integer`):

Result pages to capture per keyword. Leave at 0 to capture every result page; the run stops as soon as the results end.

## `delayMs` (type: `integer`):

Pause between page fetches.

## `callsPerSession` (type: `integer`):

Re-mint the browser session after this many page fetches.

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

On the Apify platform this decides egress. Residential proxy in the UAE (country AE) is recommended; noon is behind Akamai Bot Manager. On our own servers this is ignored and our residential proxy is used.

```json
{
  "keywords": [
    "shampoo"
  ],

```bash
echo '{
  "keywords": [
    "shampoo"
  ],

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,ikmal_suzali_atr/noon-rank"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
