## 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

## Solaris Japan Scraper — Anime Figures, Nendoroids & Scale Figure Prices

Scrape **[Solaris Japan](https://solarisjapan.com)**, one of the largest online stores for authentic Japanese anime figures, Nendoroids, scale figures, Figmas, plushies and collectibles shipped worldwide from Tokyo.

Search any figure or crawl the full catalog and get clean, structured data: title, brand/manufacturer, franchise, character, figure type, **Brand New vs Pre Owned condition and price**, availability, images and product URLs.

### Why this scraper?

- **Condition-level pricing** — Solaris Japan lists most figures in both *Brand New* and *Pre Owned* variants. You get one record per condition, each with its own price, SKU and stock status. Perfect for arbitrage and price tracking.
- **Rich metadata** — franchise (One Piece, Vocaloid, Jujutsu Kaisen…), character, figure line (Nendoroid, S.H.Figuarts, scale…), manufacturer (Good Smile Company, Bandai Spirits, MegaHouse…), NSFW flag.
- **Fast & reliable** — uses the store's JSON endpoints directly. No browser, no proxies needed.

### Use cases

- Track prices of grails and pre-orders across conditions
- Find pre-owned deals vs brand-new pricing (resale arbitrage)
- Build anime-figure price databases, alerts and market dashboards
- Monitor availability of limited/exclusive figures
- Feed e-commerce comparison tools and Discord price bots

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `searchQueries` | array | Search terms, e.g. `"nendoroid miku"`, `"one piece figuarts"`. Up to 10 best matches per query. Leave empty to crawl the full catalog (newest first). |
| `condition` | select | `Any` (default), `Brand New`, or `Pre Owned` |
| `maxResults` | integer | Max records to return (default 50). One record per condition variant. |
| `minPrice` / `maxPrice` | number | Optional USD price filters |
| `inStockOnly` | boolean | Only currently purchasable variants |
| `includeNsfw` | boolean | Include adult-oriented figures (default true) |

#### Example input

{
    "searchQueries": ["nendoroid hatsune miku", "demon slayer scale figure"],
    "condition": "Pre Owned",
    "inStockOnly": true,
    "maxResults": 40

### FAQ

**Is this legal?** The scraper only collects publicly available product data. Review the target site's terms and applicable laws for your use case.

**Do I need proxies?** No — the store's JSON endpoints respond directly.

**How fresh is the data?** Every run fetches live data, including current pre-owned stock which changes frequently.

# Actor input Schema

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

Search terms (e.g. 'nendoroid miku', 'one piece figuarts', 'demon slayer scale figure'). Each query returns up to 10 best-matching products (Shopify predictive search limit). Leave empty to crawl the full catalog newest-first instead.

## `condition` (type: `string`):

Filter by item condition. Solaris Japan lists most figures in both Brand New and Pre Owned variants.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of records to scrape (one record per condition variant, so a product listed Brand New + Pre Owned yields 2 records).

## `minPrice` (type: `number`):

Filter: only return items at or above this price (USD).

## `maxPrice` (type: `number`):

Filter: only return items at or below this price (USD).

## `inStockOnly` (type: `boolean`):

Only return variants that are currently available for purchase.

## `includeNsfw` (type: `boolean`):

Solaris Japan tags adult-oriented figures as nsfw. Disable to exclude them from results.

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

Proxy settings. Solaris Japan works without proxies (open Shopify JSON endpoints).

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "searchQueries": [
    "nendoroid"
  ],
  "condition": "Any",
  "maxResults": 50,
  "inStockOnly": false,
  "includeNsfw": true,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}

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).
