## What's an Apify Actor?

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

## OfferUp Scraper (Apify Actor)

First-party actor replacing `crowdpull/offerup-scraper` (~$0.09/query → ~$0.02/query, 4.5× cheaper).

### How it works

Navigates to `https://offerup.com/search?q=<query>` with PlaywrightCrawler + stealth plugin to establish a valid session, then calls `POST /api/graphql` (OfferUp's internal GraphQL endpoint) from within the page context so the request inherits browser cookies. Explicit `lat`/`lon` are passed as GraphQL `searchParams` — OfferUp ignores the URL `?location=` parameter and uses IP geolocation for SSR, so the GraphQL variables are the only reliable way to target a city.

Images, fonts, and media are blocked to reduce proxy bandwidth.

### Input

```json
{
  "searchQuery": "mountain bike",
  "lat": 34.0522,
  "lon": -118.2437,
  "location": "Los Angeles",
  "resultsLimit": 20
}
````

| Field | Type | Default | Required |
|---|---|---|---|
| `searchQuery` | string | — | ✅ |
| `lat` | number | — | ✅ |
| `lon` | number | — | ✅ |
| `location` | string | `""` | — (display/logging only) |
| `resultsLimit` | integer | 20 | — |

### Output

```json
{
  "listingId": "6760813b-6fea-3a1a-a5f1-997d0e5f7030",
  "title": "Trek Road Bike",
  "price": "$350",
  "imageUrl": "https://images.offerup.com/...",
  "images": ["https://images.offerup.com/..."],
  "listingUrl": "https://offerup.com/item/detail/6760813b-6fea-3a1a-a5f1-997d0e5f7030/",
  "condition": "Good"
}
```

`price`, `imageUrl`, `condition` are omitted when absent (not null — Effect Schema's `Schema.optional` rejects null). Debug screenshots and HTML are saved to the key-value store on failure (`debug-screenshot-attempt-N`, `debug-html-attempt-N`).

### Development

```bash
npm install
npm run build   ## tsc → dist/
```

### Deployment

```bash
./node_modules/.bin/apify login   ## first time only
npm run deploy                    ## apify push --force
```

Copy the actor ID from the Apify console and update `ACTOR_ID` in `apps/api/src/adapters/offerup.ts`.

**Current actor ID:** `3xAedihtuCglLxfiA` (leonardparisi~offerup-scraper)

### Infrastructure

- **Base image:** `apify/actor-node-playwright-chrome` (same digest as facebook-marketplace actor)
- **Proxies:** Apify residential pool, US only
- **Memory:** 1024 MB minimum
- **Timeout:** 120 seconds
- **Runtime:** Node 20, ESM (`"type": "module"`)

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQuery` (type: `string`):

Item to search for on OfferUp (e.g. "mountain bike").

## `lat` (type: `number`):

Latitude of the search center. OfferUp's API uses this to geo-scope results (the URL location param is ignored by the server).

## `lon` (type: `number`):

Longitude of the search center.

## `location` (type: `string`):

Human-readable city name — used for logging and URL construction only. Search region is determined by lat/lon.

## `resultsLimit` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of listings to return.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "resultsLimit": 20
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `listings` (type: `string`):

Dataset of normalized OfferUp listings.

# 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 = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("leonardparisi/offerup-scraper").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 = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("leonardparisi/offerup-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)
