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.

Built for eCommerce teams, marketers, and analysts who need clear, reliable price data. No coding required — this Actor is designed to be **no‑code friendly**, so anyone can run it and export results without technical setup. --- ### ✨ Features - Input: List of GTINs (8 or 13 digits, usually EAN‑13 or EAN‑8). - Tracks the **lowest price** and saves product details with a timestamp for each item. - Optionally collects **all available merchant offers** for competitor comparison. - Produces: - **Default dataset** → product summary with `shop` dictionary of merchant prices. - **Offers CSV file** → one row per merchant, ready for Excel or BI analysis (download link is logged after the run). --- ### ⚙️ How it works 1. **Enter GTINs (EAN‑13/EAN‑8 numbers)** Paste one or more 8‑ or 13‑digit codes. Each GTIN (EAN) identifies a product you want to track. 2. **Include all shop offers** Switch ON to collect **all available merchant prices**. Switch OFF to save only the lowest price for each product. 3. **Generate Offers CSV file** Switch ON the *Generate Offers CSV file* input. After scraping, the Actor logs a direct download link at the bottom of **Log**: `📂 Offers CSV file created. Download here: https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores//records/offers-dataset.csv` Click the link to get the file — it contains **merchant‑level rows for Excel/BI analysis**, structured differently than the Default dataset. 4. **Run the Actor** It gathers product details and prices, then saves results into the default dataset and (optionally) the offers CSV file. --- ### 📊 Example Outputs **Default dataset (JSON):** → product summary with `shop` dictionary of merchant prices. ```json { "ean": "8806095815718", "category": "Mobiele telefoons", "productId": "3400784610", "name": "Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra 512GB Titanium Black", "lowestPrice": 932.99, "currency": "EUR", "outOfStock": false, "images": "https://owp.klarna.com/product/3206715134/Samsung-Galaxy-S25-Ultra-512GB-Titanium-Black.jpg", "productUrl": "https://www.klarna.com/nl/shopping/pl/cl1/3400784610/Mobiele-telefoons/Samsung-Galaxy-S25-Ultra-512GB-Titanium-Black/", "scrapedAt": "2026-05-27T20:30:29.849Z", "shop": { "Amazon": 1019.99, "Coolblue": 1299, "Galaxus": 1115.02, "MediaMarkt": 949, "Onbuy": 932.99 } } ```` **Offers dataset (CSV):** → merchant rows for Excel or BI analysis, created only if the checkbox is ON (direct download link is logged after the run). | ean | productId | name | category | merchant | price | scrapedAt | |-------------|-------------|------------------------|-------------------|------------|---------|------------| | 8806095815718| 3400784610 | Galaxy S25 Ultra 512GB | Mobiele telefoons | Amazon | 1019.99 | 2026-05-27 | | 8806095815718| 3400784610 | Galaxy S25 Ultra 512GB | Mobiele telefoons | Coolblue | 1299 | 2026-05-27 | | 8806095815718| 3400784610 | Galaxy S25 Ultra 512GB | Mobiele telefoons | Galaxus | 1115.02 | 2026-05-27 | | 8806095815718| 3400784610 | Galaxy S25 Ultra 512GB | Mobiele telefoons | MediaMarkt | 949 | 2026-05-27 | | 8806095815718| 3400784610 | Galaxy S25 Ultra 512GB | Mobiele telefoons | Onbuy | 932.99 | 2026-05-27 | *** ### 💡 Use Cases - Monitor prices for your product catalog. - Compare competitors’ pricing. - Feed BI dashboards with shop‑level data. - Support affiliate or SEO content with verified prices. *** ### 📌 Notes - This Actor is **GTIN‑based (EAN‑13/EAN‑8)** and built for the **Netherlands market**. - Data is sourced from [klarna.com/nl/shopping/](https://www.klarna.com/nl/shopping/). - Designed to respect the [klarna.com robots.txt](https://www.klarna.com/robots.txt) file as of 26.05.2026. *** *** ### 🇳🇱 Nederlandse versie (Nederlands) #### Overzicht Volgt product- en winkelprijzen op de **Nederlandse markt** met GTIN‑codes (EAN‑13/EAN‑8), en dekt grote retailers zoals Amazon, MediaMarkt, Coolblue, About You, Temu, Douglas, ASOS...\ Ontwikkeld voor e‑commerce‑teams, marketeers en analisten die duidelijke en betrouwbare prijsdata nodig hebben.\ Geen programmering vereist — deze Actor is **no‑code‑vriendelijk**, zodat iedereen hem kan uitvoeren en resultaten kan exporteren zonder technische installatie. ### ✨ Functies - Input: Lijst met GTIN‑codes (8 of 13 cijfers, meestal EAN‑13 of EAN‑8). - Volgt de **laagste prijs** en slaat productdetails met tijdstempel op voor elk artikel. - Haalt indien gewenst **alle beschikbare winkelaanbiedingen** op voor concurrentievergelijking. - Produceert: - **Standaarddataset** → productoverzicht met `shop`‑woordenboek van winkelprijzen. - **Aanbiedingen‑CSV** → één regel per retailer, klaar voor Excel‑ of BI‑analyse (downloadlink wordt na de run gelogd). #### 📌 Opmerkingen - Deze Actor is **GTIN‑gebaseerd (EAN‑13/EAN‑8)** en gebouwd voor de **Nederlandse markt**. - Data afkomstig van [klarna.com/nl/shopping](https://www.klarna.com/nl/shopping/). - Respecteert de [klarna.com robots.txt](https://www.klarna.com/robots.txt) (stand: 27.05.2026). # Actor input Schema ## `startEANs` (type: `array`): Each GTIN (commonly called an EAN code) is a numeric product identifier. Paste multiple codes to track several products at once. Both 13‑digit GTINs (EAN‑13 standard) and 8‑digit GTINs (EAN‑8 for small items) are supported. ## `shop` (type: `boolean`): When ON, the Actor saves detailed rows for each shop’s price.
