Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## GTIN Validator ### Current Store Positioning **Store title:** GTIN Validator **Short description:** Validate GTIN/UPC/EAN/ISBN codes from product exports and flag invalid check digits, duplicates, and variant misuse. **SEO title:** GTIN Validator — fast deterministic data utility **SEO description:** Validate GTIN/UPC/EAN/ISBN codes from product exports and flag invalid check digits, duplicates, and variant misuse. Use it for fast, low-cost normalization or validation at scale with predictable pay-per-event pricing. **Categories:** DEVELOPER_TOOLS, ECOMMERCE **Keywords:** gtin, validator, tiny deterministic utility ### Current Pricing And Events Pricing follows ChatGPT's 2026-07-06 guide for actors 71-300 and supersedes older pricing text in this package. - Tier: U1 — Tiny deterministic utility - Primary event: `identifier-validated` at $0.001950 per event - Default max charge: $1.00 - Platform usage pass-through: OFF Event set: - `actor-start`: $0.001000 - `identifier-validated`: $0.001950 (primary) - `report-generated`: $0.020000 ### Public Task Concepts - Normalize GTIN Validator records - Validate GTIN Validator values in bulk - Generate a small utility report for GTIN Validator - Run a small capped GTIN Validator sample - Create a GTIN Validator summary report ### What It Does Validate GTIN/UPC/EAN/ISBN codes from product exports and flag invalid check digits, duplicates, and variant misuse. This local package is part of the Junipr Apify actors 171-200 premium build for ChatGPT review. ### What It Does Not Do - It does not call live Apify APIs. - It does not publish, upload Store assets, create public tasks, or configure live PPE. - It does not claim publish readiness. - It does not make unbounded network calls in the local fixture path. ### Input Fields Seed shape: inputItems, maxItems, includeReport The tiny fixture is available at `examples/input.tiny.json` and mirrored at `fixtures/input.tiny.json` for the local runner. ### Output Fields - `rowIndex` - `originalCode` - `normalizedCode` - `codeType` - `isValid` - `checkDigitExpected` - `warnings` - `errors` ### Public Task Examples #### Validate GTINs in a Shopify export - Search intent: validate gtins in a shopify export - Specific input: Fixture input shaped for validate gtins in a shopify export. - Expected output: Dataset rows with rowIndex, originalCode, normalizedCode, codeType plus local KVS report evidence. - Why run it: Ecommerce teams, merchants, feed managers, agencies would run this to get a bounded local proof before any live Apify review or production use. #### Find duplicate UPCs across product variants - Search intent: find duplicate upcs across product variants - Specific input: Fixture input shaped for find duplicate upcs across product variants. - Expected output: Dataset rows with rowIndex, originalCode, normalizedCode, codeType plus local KVS report evidence. - Why run it: Ecommerce teams, merchants, feed managers, agencies would run this to get a bounded local proof before any live Apify review or production use. #### Check EAN codes before merchant feed upload - Search intent: check ean codes before merchant feed upload - Specific input: Fixture input shaped for check ean codes before merchant feed upload. - Expected output: Dataset rows with rowIndex, originalCode, normalizedCode, codeType plus local KVS report evidence. - Why run it: Ecommerce teams, merchants, feed managers, agencies would run this to get a bounded local proof before any live Apify review or production use. #### Separate valid and invalid ISBN-style catalog IDs - Search intent: separate valid and invalid isbn-style catalog ids - Specific input: Fixture input shaped for separate valid and invalid isbn-style catalog ids. - Expected output: Dataset rows with rowIndex, originalCode, normalizedCode, codeType plus local KVS report evidence. - Why run it: Ecommerce teams, merchants, feed managers, agencies would run this to get a bounded local proof before any live Apify review or production use. #### Audit marketplace GTIN fields for launch cleanup - Search intent: audit marketplace gtin fields for launch cleanup - Specific input: Fixture input shaped for audit marketplace gtin fields for launch cleanup. - Expected output: Dataset rows with rowIndex, originalCode, normalizedCode, codeType plus local KVS report evidence. - Why run it: Ecommerce teams, merchants, feed managers, agencies would run this to get a bounded local proof before any live Apify review or production use. ### Tests - Actor-specific fixture tests live in `test/gtin-validator.test.ts`. - Node-based local suites validate dataset schema conformance, output samples, local smoke runs, and PPE guard behavior. ### FAQ #### Is this live on Apify? No. This is a local package for ChatGPT review only. #### Is it publish-ready? No. It needs later live tiny-run validation and console configuration before any publication decision. # Actor input Schema ## `inputItems` (type: `array`): Actor-specific records or URLs to process. ## `domains` (type: `array`): Domain fixture records or domain strings. ## `urls` (type: `array`): URL fixture records or URL strings. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Hard cap for processed items. ## `maxDomains` (type: `integer`): Hard cap for processed domains. ## `timeoutMs` (type: `integer`): Local/live request timeout cap in milliseconds. ## `includeReport` (type: `boolean`): Write KVS Markdown and JSON report outputs. ## `includeSummary` (type: `boolean`): Write summary KVS output. ## `strictMode` (type: `boolean`): Use stricter validation thresholds. ## `fixtureMode` (type: `boolean`): Use local deterministic fixtures. Live lookups remain off by default. ## `maxChargeUsd` (type: `number`): Local PPE guard cap before paid rows stop gracefully. ## Actor input object example ```json { "maxItems": 50, "maxDomains": 50, "timeoutMs": 5000, "includeReport": true, "includeSummary": true, "strictMode": false, "fixtureMode": true, "maxChargeUsd": 1 } ```` # Actor output Schema ## `dataset` (type: `string`): Structured rows emitted by the actor. ## `report` (type: `string`): Run summary report stored in the default key-value store. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
