## 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

## Detroit Modular Scraper

Scrape [Detroit Modular](https://www.detroitmodular.com) — a leading eurorack, modular synth and electronic music gear retailer — for product listings with prices, brand, condition and availability.

### What it does

Pull structured product data from Detroit Modular by **collection** (paginated) or by **search query**. Great for price monitoring, arbitrage, used/B-stock deal hunting, and building a modular-synth gear catalog.

### Output fields

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `name` | Product name |
| `brand` | Manufacturer / vendor (e.g. Intellijel, Make Noise, Arturia) |
| `productType` | Product type when set |
| `price` | Current price (formatted, e.g. `$449.00`) |
| `priceNum` | Current price as a number |
| `compareAtPrice` | Original / compare-at price when on sale |
| `condition` | `New` or `Used` (used covers B-stock / demo / open-box) |
| `year` | Year parsed from the title when present |
| `available` | Whether any variant is in stock |
| `availability` | `In Stock` / `Out of Stock` |
| `sku` | Variant SKU when set |
| `imageUrl` | Product image URL |
| `url` | Product page URL |
| `handle` | Shopify product handle |
| `scrapedAt` | ISO timestamp of the run |

### Input

- **searchQueries** — optional list of search terms (e.g. `intellijel`, `make noise`, `reverb`). Up to 10 products per query. If provided, collection is ignored.
- **collection** — collection handle to scrape when no search queries are given (default `all`). Examples: `all`, `eurorack`, `used`, `new-arrivals`.
- **maxItems** — max products to return (default 100).
- **onlyAvailable** — only return in-stock products.

### Pricing

Pay-per-result: a small charge per dataset item plus a tiny actor-start fee. You only pay for the data you get.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

Optional search terms (e.g. 'intellijel', 'make noise', 'reverb module'). Up to 10 matching products per query. Leave empty to scrape a collection instead.

## `collection` (type: `string`):

Collection handle to scrape when no search queries are given. Common handles: all, eurorack, used, new-arrivals, synthesizers, drum-machines. Any detroitmodular.com collection handle works.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of products to return.

## `onlyAvailable` (type: `boolean`):

Only return products that are currently in stock.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Optional proxy override. Defaults to Apify Residential proxy (recommended — the site is Cloudflare-fronted and blocks datacenter IPs).

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "searchQueries": [],
  "collection": "all",
  "maxItems": 25,
  "onlyAvailable": false
}
```

# 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 = {
    "searchQueries": [],
    "collection": "all",
    "maxItems": 25
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("lulzasaur/detroitmodular-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 = {
    "searchQueries": [],
    "collection": "all",
    "maxItems": 25,
}

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

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

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "searchQueries": [],
  "collection": "all",
  "maxItems": 25
}' |
apify call lulzasaur/detroitmodular-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,lulzasaur/detroitmodular-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
