## 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

## Wine-Searcher Scraper

Scrapes wine listings and detail pages from [wine-searcher.com](https://www.wine-searcher.com/) — price, ratings, critic score, and the full per-merchant offers table (merchant name, location, price, bottle size, verified status) for each wine.

### What it does

- **Listing pages**: give it a search term or a wine-searcher.com search URL, and it finds every wine/vintage link on the results page.
- **Detail pages**: for each wine it visits, it extracts the wine name, region, vintage, average price, user rating, critic score, style, and every individual merchant offer with price and location.
- **Whole-site mode**: optionally keep following every wine link discovered on every page (not just the ones you started with), up to a limit you set.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `startUrls` | array of strings | wine-searcher.com URLs to scrape directly — listing pages or specific vintage detail pages. |
| `searchQueries` | array of strings | Plain wine search terms (e.g. `"opus one"`) — turned into search URLs automatically. Alternative to `startUrls`. |
| `scrapeWholeSite` | boolean | If enabled, keeps following every wine link found on every page instead of just the ones you gave it. Default `false`. |
| `maxItems` | integer | Stop once this many wine detail pages have been scraped. Default `2`. |
| `maxConcurrency` | integer | Number of pages processed in parallel (1–5). Default `1`. |

### Output

One dataset row per wine, e.g.:

```json
{
  "url": "https://www.wine-searcher.com/find/opus+one+napa+valley+county+north+coast+california+usa/2019",
  "wineName": "Opus One",
  "region": "Napa Valley, USA",
  "vintage": "2019",
  "avgPrice": 439,
  "avgPriceCurrency": "US$",
  "userRating": 4.5,
  "userRatingCount": 31,
  "criticScore": "97 / 100",
  "criticReviewCount": 7,
  "style": "Red - Bold and Structured",
  "offerCount": 51,
  "offers": [
    {
      "merchantName": "WineBid",
      "merchantUrl": "https://www.wine-searcher.com/merchant/362-winebid",
      "shopUrl": "https://www.winebid.com/BuyWine/Item/10833098",
      "location": "USA (CA) Napa",
      "price": 48793,
      "currency": "Rs",
      "bottleSize": "Bottle (750ml)",
      "rating": 5,
      "verified": true
    }
  ]
}
```

### Notes

- Some summary fields (`userRatingCount`, `criticScore`, `criticReviewCount`, `style`) may come back `null` for wines that don't have that data on their page.
- Each page load takes a few seconds — this is expected and by design for reliability, not a performance bug. Keep `maxItems`/`maxConcurrency` modest for testing.

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

wine-searcher.com URLs to scrape directly - either listing/search pages (e.g. https://www.wine-searcher.com/find/opus+one) or specific vintage detail pages (e.g. https://www.wine-searcher.com/find/opus+one+napa+valley+county+north+coast+california+usa/2019). Listing pages have their wine links extracted and queued as detail pages automatically.

## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

Plain wine search terms, e.g. "opus one" or "chateau margaux 2015" - each is turned into a wine-searcher.com search URL automatically. Alternative to pasting full startUrls.

## `scrapeWholeSite` (type: `boolean`):

If enabled, ignores startUrls/searchQueries as a fixed list and instead crawls outward from them (or from the site's region/producer index pages if none given), following every /find/ link discovered, until maxItems detail pages have been scraped or no more links remain. This can scrape a very large number of pages - use maxItems to bound it.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Stop once this many wine detail pages have been scraped.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

Number of pages processed in parallel. Trades speed against memory/CPU - keep low unless you know the container has room for it.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://www.wine-searcher.com/find/opus+one"
  ],
  "searchQueries": [],
  "scrapeWholeSite": false,
  "maxItems": 2,
  "maxConcurrency": 1
}
```

# 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

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

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "startUrls": [
        "https://www.wine-searcher.com/find/opus+one"

    "searchQueries": []
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("jordan-byte/wine-searcher-data-scraper").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();

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://www.wine-searcher.com/find/opus+one"
  ],
  "searchQueries": []
}' |
apify call jordan-byte/wine-searcher-data-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,jordan-byte/wine-searcher-data-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
