One-Call Economic Resolver

Need an Apify Actor for a specific task? Describe the job in plain language and get a recommended public Actor with reasons. Or compare your own suppliers, software and services by price, quality, trust, rights and conflicts. $0.10 per completed decision.

Start with a ready-to-run example: Find a product price scraper. Replace the query with your own task, check the displayed price and run. The Resolver recommends a tool; it does not run that tool for you.

What it does

The Resolver evaluates competing providers, products, services, APIs, models, or routes and selects the economically strongest option using:

• total cost
• quality
• trust
• commercial rights
• conflicts of interest

Each successful call returns a decision and an audit trail. Suitable alternatives are included when available.

Quick start for AI agents

Use lucarvalho/my-actor when an agent needs to discover a public Apify Actor from a task description or compare options it already has.

Direct MCP configuration:

https://mcp.apify.com?tools=lucarvalho/my-actor

The Actor is available through:

• Apify Store
• Apify API and Actor endpoints
• Apify MCP Server
• automated workflows and schedules

Automatic Actor discovery

Enter a plain-language need in query, for example website scraper for product prices. The Resolver searches safe public Apify Store results, ranks them by quality, trust, recent activity, review confidence, pricing model and warnings, then returns one selected Actor, suitable alternatives when available, and an audit trail.

{
  "query": "website scraper for product prices",
  "maxResults": 5,
  "agentReadyOnly": false
}

Manual comparison remains available: leave query empty and send your own options.

Authentication

Use an Apify account to run this Actor from the Store, the Apify API, or the Apify MCP Server. Keep your API token private; do not embed it in public code or websites.

Apify also documents x402 and Skyfire as platform-level payment options, but access through those routes has not been verified for this specific Actor. Do not rely on them until eligibility is confirmed.

Send this JSON input:

{
  "options": [
    {
      "name": "A",
      "price": 20,
      "quality": 7,
      "trust": 8,
      "rights": 8,
      "conflict": 1
    },
    {
      "name": "B",
      "price": 15,
      "quality": 9,
      "trust": 9,
      "rights": 9,
      "conflict": 0
    }
  ]
}

The dataset response includes:

• decision — selected option and scoring details
• alternatives — ranked fallback choices when other candidates fit
• audit — auditable reasoning and provenance

How it works

1. Describe a task in query, or send at least two options for manual comparison.
2. The Resolver evaluates the candidates.
3. Receive a selected option, any suitable alternatives, and an auditable explanation.

Pricing

$0.10 per successful economic decision.
