The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 ## Farm Equipment Auction Comps Monitor Builds robust auction comp ranges and persistent trend alerts for tractors, combines, loaders, balers, sprayers, and planters. ### Inputs Provide target equipment and verified auction records. Choose hammer-only or total-with-premium price basis explicitly. ### Outputs One market record per target, persistent state, and a report with raw hammer prices and adjustments. ### Responsible-use notes This Actor does not inspect equipment, verify title/liens, or estimate repair costs. Attachments are valued only when explicit user-supplied values are provided. ### Local validation ```bash npm ci npm test npm run check npm run sample ```` `npm run sample` runs the real Apify SDK entry point with local storage and writes Dataset, `OUTPUT`, and `REPORT.html`. # Actor input Schema ## `targets` (type: `array`): Equipment to monitor ## `comps` (type: `array`): Auction comparables ## `sourceUrls` (type: `array`): Public or authorized URLs returning records.
