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 ## PCPartPicker Scraper Scrape PC component prices, specifications, and user ratings from [PCPartPicker.com](https://pcpartpicker.com). Compare prices across retailers for CPUs, GPUs, RAM, SSDs, and 20+ other component categories. ### Features - **20+ categories**: CPU, GPU, RAM, SSD, motherboard, case, PSU, monitor, and more - **20+ countries**: US, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, and more - **Rich spec data**: Category-specific specs like core count, clock speed, TDP, VRAM, etc. - **Price comparison**: Current lowest prices from major retailers - **Ratings & reviews**: User rating scores and review counts - **Flexible sorting**: Sort by popularity, price, name, or rating - **Pagination**: Automatically pages through all results ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |-------|------|---------|-------------| | `category` | string | `cpu` | Component category (cpu, video-card, memory, ssd, etc.) | | `country` | string | `us` | Country for regional pricing (us, uk, ca, au, de, fr, etc.) | | `maxResults` | integer | `100` | Max products to return. 0 for unlimited. | | `sortBy` | string | `popular` | Sort order: popular, price, -price, name, -name, rating, -rating | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | - | Optional proxy config for large scrapes | #### Example Input ```json { "category": "video-card", "country": "us", "maxResults": 50, "sortBy": "price" } ```` ### Output Each product includes: ```json { "productName": "AMD Ryzen 5 7600 3.8 GHz 6-Core Processor", "category": "cpu", "country": "us", "price": 179.99, "priceCurrency": "$", "rating": 5, "ratingCount": 42, "specs": { "coreCount": "6", "performanceCoreClock": "3.8 GHz", "performanceCoreBoostClock": "5.1 GHz", "microarchitecture": "Zen 4", "tDP": "65 W", "integratedGraphics": "Radeon" }, "imageUrl": "https://cdna.pcpartpicker.com/...", "url": "https://pcpartpicker.com/product/sLkgXL/...", "scrapedAt": "2026-04-25T12:00:00.000Z" } ``` #### Spec fields vary by category - **CPU**: Core Count, Clock Speed, Boost Clock, Microarchitecture, TDP, Integrated Graphics - **GPU**: Chipset, Memory, Core Clock, Boost Clock, Length - **RAM**: Speed, Modules, Price/GB, CAS Latency - **SSD**: Capacity, Price/GB, Type, Cache, Form Factor, Interface - **Motherboard**: Socket, Form Factor, RAM Slots, Max Memory - **Case**: Type, Color, Side Panel, Internal Bays - **PSU**: Wattage, Efficiency Rating, Modular, Color ### Supported Categories `cpu`, `cpu-cooler`, `motherboard`, `memory`, `internal-hard-drive`, `ssd`, `video-card`, `case`, `power-supply`, `os`, `monitor`, `sound-card`, `wired-network-card`, `wireless-network-card`, `case-fan`, `fan-controller`, `thermal-paste`, `ups`, `optical-drive`, `external-hard-drive`, `headphones`, `keyboard`, `mouse`, `speakers`, `webcam` ### Supported Countries US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Ireland, Portugal, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Saudi Arabia ### Tips - Use a proxy for scraping more than a few hundred products - PCPartPicker may rate-limit rapid requests; the scraper adds polite delays - Some products may not have prices if they are out of stock - The QAPI token is session-based and refreshed automatically ### Cost This scraper uses Apify's Pay-Per-Event pricing at $0.005 per result. # Actor input Schema ## `category` (type: `string`): PC component category to scrape. ## `country` (type: `string`): Country subdomain for regional pricing. Default is US. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of products to return. 0 for unlimited. ## `sortBy` (type: `string`): Sort order for results. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Optional proxy for avoiding rate limits. Recommended for large scrapes. ## Actor input object example ```json { "category": "cpu", "country": "us", "maxResults": 5, "sortBy": "popular" } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "maxResults": 5 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("lulzasaur/pcpartpicker-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
