## 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.

# README

## Promo Banner Coupon Extractor

Extract visible promo banners, coupon codes, discount claims, sale timers, free-shipping messages, and eligibility fine print from public webpages.

### What it does

Renders public pages and extracts visible promotion banners, coupon codes, discounts, timers, free-shipping claims, eligibility text, and position.

The actor emits one row per visible rendered promotion, or a no-promotion diagnostic. Dataset and report output is produced only after every applicable PPE charge is accepted.

### Common uses

- Extract promo banners and coupons
- Monitor competitor discounts
- Inventory sitewide sale messages
- Find free-shipping claims
- Export promotion evidence

### Input

Supply public HTTP(S) URLs or deterministic `htmlInputs`. URL fetching rejects localhost and private-network destinations; `allowedDomains` can narrow access further.

- `startUrls`
- `sitemapUrls`
- `htmlInputs`
- `allowedDomains`
- `maxPages`
- `maxDepth`
- `includeEvidence`
- `includeRawSnapshots`
- `requestDelayMs`
- `timeoutMs`
- `userAgentMode`
- `pageUrls`
- `couponPatterns`
- `promoTerms`
- `includeFinePrint`
- `captureBannerPosition`
- `maxBannersPerPage`
- `captureScreenshots`
- `viewportWidth`
- `viewportHeight`
- `maxPromoRecords`
- `maxScreenshots`
- `maxBrowserPages`
- `maxChargeUsd`
- `includeReport`

The caps in `maxPages, maxPromoRecords, maxScreenshots, maxBrowserPages, timeoutMs` and `maxChargeUsd` are enforced. A zero charge cap is a hard zero budget.

### Output

- `sourceUrl`
- `sourceType`
- `pageTitle`
- `recordType`
- `recordName`
- `issueCode`
- `severity`
- `evidenceSnippet`
- `recommendation`
- `canonicalUrl`
- `httpStatus`
- `scannedAt`
- `pageUrl`
- `promoType`
- `promoText`
- `couponCode`
- `discountValue`
- `timerText`
- `freeShippingSignal`
- `eligibilityText`
- `bannerPosition`
- `expiresSignal`
- `screenshotKey`

Reports:

- `promo-banner-coupon-extractor-summary-report.md`
- `promo-banner-coupon-extractor-records.csv`
- `promo-banner-coupon-extractor-issues.json`
- `promo-banner-coupon-extractor-evidence-samples.json`
- `promo-banner-coupon-extractor-run-metadata.json`

### Pricing

Platform-usage pass-through is off. Locked fixed-inclusive events:

| Event | Price |
| --- | ---: |
| `actor-start` | $0.08 |
| `promo-page-rendered` | $0.0275 |
| `promo-record-extracted` | $0.0095 |
| `screenshot-captured` | $0.018 |
| `report-generated` | $0.18 |

The actor charges `actor-start` before fetching/rendering, deduplicates page events, charges record/finding events only for corresponding output, and stops before further output on partial, limited, or over-budget charges. Screenshot events fire only when a real browser PNG exists.

### Safety and limitations

- Public pages only; no authentication, CAPTCHA bypass, access-control evasion, or private data.
- Browser waits, pages, records, changes, forms, popups, and screenshots are bounded.
- Blocked, empty, and missing-baseline cases produce diagnostics instead of invented success.
- Results describe source evidence at scan time and may change later.
- Store discounts, icons, publication, and scheduler state are separate live configuration gates.

### Local validation

```bash
pnpm --filter @junipr/promo-banner-coupon-extractor build
pnpm --filter @junipr/promo-banner-coupon-extractor test
pnpm --filter @junipr/promo-banner-coupon-extractor smoke
```

Fixtures cover success, weak/blocked evidence, comparison, no-result, and cap behavior. Tests also prove schema equality, pricing metadata, charge guards, zero budget, reports, and charge-before-output ordering.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call junipr/promo-banner-coupon-extractor --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,junipr/promo-banner-coupon-extractor"

```

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).
