## FAQ

### What does this task return?

A price_summary with JPY price statistics, sampledListings and checkedAt for the fixed headphone search. No individual evidence rows are requested.

### What does each repeat run cost?

A nonempty keyword/status summary costs $0.02 on every run. Optional evidence costs $0.002 per returned row when enabled. This preset requests summary only.

### Does the task store a price history?

No. Save each run dataset or CSV in your own spreadsheet/database. Compare keyword, status, checkedAt, sample size and unchanged settings. Sample shifts can change the median.

### Does the event cap cover all platform resource costs?

PPE event fees are separate from platform resource charges, which may apply. The $0.10 cap limits event charges, not total resource cost.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

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 full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/jpmarketdata/mercari-japan-price-checker.md

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`).
