## 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.

- Humidity and precipitation
- Weather icon codes

#### Hourly forecast (optional, up to 48 hours)
- Temperature and feels like
- Wind speed and direction
- Precipitation chance
- Humidity
- Weather condition

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `locations` | string[] | `["/weather/us/ca/san-francisco"]` | Location URLs or paths. Use full URLs or paths like `/weather/us/ca/san-francisco`. |
| `forecastDays` | integer | `10` | Number of forecast days (1-15). |
| `includeHourly` | boolean | `false` | Include hourly forecast data (up to 48 hours). |
| `limit` | integer | `0` | Max locations to scrape (0 = unlimited). |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | -- | Proxy settings. |

### Example locations

### Cost

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You are charged $0.005 per location scraped.

### Tips

- Weather Underground has excellent coverage worldwide. Use the site to find the correct URL path for your location.
- Hourly forecasts provide the most granular data but increase output size significantly.
- For bulk weather monitoring, use proxies to avoid rate limiting.
