## 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.

### Pay-Per-Event Pricing

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing. Event prices include Apify platform usage; users are not expected to pay a separate platform-usage pass-through charge for the configured pricing model.

- Tier: W1 — Web/domain audit
- Primary event: `page-audited` at $0.00490 base
- Default max charge: $10.00
- Store discounts: FREE/BRONZE base, SILVER discounted, GOLD deepest approved discount

Event set:

- `actor-start`: base $0.00500, GOLD $0.00400. Manuals Pdf Inventory: charged when actor start is completed. The price includes Apify platform usage; no separate usage pass-through is intended.
- `page-audited`: base $0.00490, GOLD $0.00392. Manuals Pdf Inventory: charged when page audited is completed. The price includes Apify platform usage; no separate usage pass-through is intended.
- `record-extracted`: base $0.00372, GOLD $0.00298. Manuals Pdf Inventory: charged when record extracted is completed. The price includes Apify platform usage; no separate usage pass-through is intended.
- `finding-emitted`: base $0.00372, GOLD $0.00298. Manuals Pdf Inventory: charged when finding emitted is completed. The price includes Apify platform usage; no separate usage pass-through is intended.
- `audit-report-generated`: base $0.05000, GOLD $0.04000. Manuals Pdf Inventory: charged when audit report generated is completed. The price includes Apify platform usage; no separate usage pass-through is intended.

The actor accepts `actor-start` before work, accepts the primary event before each dataset row, and accepts the configured report event before writing report files. If `maxChargeUsd` or the live PPE limit blocks a charge, the corresponding row or report is not written.

### Public Task Concepts

- Extract Manuals PDF rows from supplied public inputs
- Inventory Manuals PDF fields across a capped sample
- Normalize Manuals PDF evidence for delivery
- Flag missing Manuals PDF data before delivery
- Export Manuals PDF records with source URLs
  Find, classify, de-duplicate, and inventory public product manual PDFs.

# Actor input Schema

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

Public pages to fetch and analyze. Keep first runs small and use allowed domains to constrain crawling.

## `sitemapUrls` (type: `array`):

Sitemap URLs to inspect for target pages and crawl candidates.

## `pdfUrls` (type: `array`):

Public PDF URLs to fetch or inspect for Manuals PDF Inventory.

## `modelNumbers` (type: `array`):

Model Numbers controls Manuals PDF Inventory processing for the supplied inputs; keep values conservative for first runs.

## `allowedDomains` (type: `array`):

Optional domain allowlist that keeps fetched URLs constrained to approved hosts.

## `maxPages` (type: `integer`):

Maximum pages to process in one run; keep defaults low for safe first runs.

## `maxPdfs` (type: `integer`):

Maximum pdfs to process in one run; keep defaults low for safe first runs.

## `includePdfMetadata` (type: `boolean`):

Include PDF metadata in output rows or reports when available.

## `fetchFirstPages` (type: `boolean`):

Fetch First Pages controls Manuals PDF Inventory processing for the supplied inputs; keep values conservative for first runs.

## `documentTypeHints` (type: `array`):

Optional hints that improve Manuals PDF Inventory classification when source content is ambiguous.

## `languageHints` (type: `array`):

Optional hints that improve Manuals PDF Inventory classification when source content is ambiguous.

# 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';

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

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("junipr/manuals-pdf-inventory").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);
});

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call junipr/manuals-pdf-inventory --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,junipr/manuals-pdf-inventory"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
