## 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

## ImportYeti Company Shipment Benchmark

Get one structured report per exact ImportYeti company URL for procurement research and recurring company comparisons. Reports describe observed US sea shipments, with coverage and confidentiality warnings.

**Price:** $0.05 per successful company report (`company-analyzed`).

### Input

Provide `companyUrls`, an array of 1–5 exact HTTPS URLs such as `https://www.importyeti.com/company/wal-mart`. Only the www.importyeti.com company route is accepted; query strings, fragments, credentials, ports and other routes are rejected. Duplicate URLs are deduplicated before requests and billing. There is no keyword search or supplier expansion.

### Output

Each successful company produces one `company-shipment-benchmark` row. `companyUrl` identifies the requested page; `observedAt` is the UTC retrieval time. `source` is ImportYeti and `dataScope` is observed-us-sea-shipments. `observedTotalShipments` is the source's cumulative observed count. `sourcePeriodStart` and `sourcePeriodEnd` are source coverage dates, not the time the Actor ran.

When available, `observedShipmentsLast12Months`, `averageTeuPerMonthLast12Months` and `averageTeuPerMonthPrior12Months` preserve the source's rolling-window labels. TEU means twenty-foot equivalent container units. Missing optional metrics are omitted with OPTIONAL\_METRICS\_UNAVAILABLE, never replaced with zero.

`originCountryCount` counts unique nonempty country labels in the source country graph. `countryGraphObservedShipments` preserves that graph's own denominator, which can differ from the company total. No supplier names or supplier totals are returned.

`confidentialityPeriods` contains source start/end dates and `ongoing`; ongoing periods omit endDate. `confidentialityActive` indicates an open-ended period. `warnings` uses fixed codes: OBSERVED\_SEA\_SHIPMENTS\_ONLY, CONFIDENTIAL\_PERIODS\_PRESENT, CONFIDENTIALITY\_ACTIVE, RECENT\_PERIOD\_MAY\_BE\_INCOMPLETE, COUNTRY\_GRAPH\_HAS\_SEPARATE\_DENOMINATOR, OPTIONAL\_METRICS\_UNAVAILABLE and NO\_OBSERVED\_SHIPMENTS.

### Limits

At most five company-page requests, one per unique company, with no retries, redirect following, pagination, login, paid API or proxy. Requests run sequentially at least 1.5 seconds apart, with a 30-second per-request timeout, 180-second run timeout, 5MB (5,000,000 bytes, decompressed) response ceiling and 256MB memory. The minimal HTTP/1.1 transport was verified from Apify datacenter; blocked requests are not retried with another identity.

US sea-freight records do not cover all imports: air/land shipments, aliases, confidential records and source delays can reduce visibility. Recent periods may be incomplete. Counts and TEU averages are observations, not proof of growth, decline, business health or total imports. No change percentage or business inference is returned.

Source structural errors, unavailable company records, authentication/challenge walls, rate limits and timeouts fail explicitly. Missing or malformed confidentiality metadata fails the report. An explicit zero count in a valid matching company object, with valid coverage dates and confidentiality metadata, produces a billed report with NO\_OBSERVED\_SHIPMENTS; it means no observed records in that source scope, not no imports. Missing data never becomes a zero report. If a later company fails, earlier delivered reports may remain available; the run fails explicitly rather than hiding the partial failure.

### Pricing

One primary company-analyzed event costs $0.05 for each successfully delivered company report, at most five events ($0.25) per run. A company that fails is not charged. There are no secondary record events or advertised free trial. Platform spending caps limit the number of reports processed and billed. Counts are source observations and do not affect the charge.

### Privacy

Outputs contain only the input company URL, numeric aggregate metrics, dates, booleans and fixed warning codes. Contacts, addresses, phone/email details, supplier names, personal names, reviews, shipment identifiers, source descriptions and free text are excluded. Raw HTML and React data are processed transiently and must not be retained in logs, datasets or key-value stores. This Actor is independent of ImportYeti.

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

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "companyUrls": [
        "https://www.importyeti.com/company/wal-mart"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("jpmarketdata/importyeti-company-shipment-benchmark").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);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "companyUrls": ["https://www.importyeti.com/company/wal-mart"] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("jpmarketdata/importyeti-company-shipment-benchmark").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {

            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,jpmarketdata/importyeti-company-shipment-benchmark"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
