## 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

## npm Package Adoption & Maintenance Brief

**Price:** $0.05 per usable exact-package adoption and maintenance brief.

Create one bounded adoption and maintenance brief per exact public npm package through the public Registry and downloads APIs.

### Input

Provide 1–5 exact package names, including optional scoped names, and an optional maximum brief count. Search terms, URLs and version ranges are not accepted.

### Output

Each row reports exact package identity, latest version, deprecated flag, declared license, Node engine, distribution size/file count and official last-month downloads. Downloads are an adoption proxy, not a quality or security guarantee.

### Pricing

$0.05 per usable `package-brief-created` row, atomically charged with the dataset push. A verified zero-download package is useful and billable; missing packages or partial source failure are not.

### Limits

At most ten requests run sequentially with two seconds between starts, a 2 MiB response cap, 15 second HTTP timeout, and 180 second run timeout. Redirects, rate limits and identity mismatch fail explicitly.

### Privacy

Only package-level public metadata is returned. Maintainers, authors, emails, README, tarballs and all vulnerability or audit data are excluded. npm is the source and does not endorse this product.

# Actor input Schema

## `packages` (type: `array`):

One to five exact public npm package names, including scoped names.

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

Maximum package briefs, also bounded by the event budget.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "packages": [
    "react"
  ],
  "maxItems": 1
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `reports` (type: `string`):

# 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 = {
    "packages": [
        "react"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("jpmarketdata/npm-package-adoption-risk-brief").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 = { "packages": ["react"] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("jpmarketdata/npm-package-adoption-risk-brief").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():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "packages": [
    "react"
  ]
}' |
apify call jpmarketdata/npm-package-adoption-risk-brief --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,jpmarketdata/npm-package-adoption-risk-brief"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
