## 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.

### ⚡ Key Capabilities

- 🌐 **Multi-Store Auto-Detection**: Pass any URL from **Amazon, Shopee, Lazada, eBay, or direct Shopify storefronts** — the engine automatically parses prices, currencies, ratings, and stock status.
- 💱 **Cross-Store Arbitrage & Normalization**: Automatically converts all regional currencies (`USD`, `EUR`, `GBP`, `PHP`, `THB`, `SGD`, `MYR`) into normalized USD to rank the cheapest stores and compute savings deltas.
- 🎯 **Price Drop & Stock Alert Monitor**: Evaluates target buy-price thresholds, discount percentage drops, and out-of-stock triggers.
- 🚀 **Universal Distribution**: Available as a FastAPI serverless API, Apify Store Actor, RapidAPI Hub endpoint, and PyPI SDK.

### 📦 Python SDK Usage

```bash
pip install ecommerce-price-tracker
```

```python
from ecommerce_price_tracker import extract_product_price, compare_stores

product = extract_product_price("https://www.amazon.com/dp/B098XYZ123")
print(f"Store: {product['store']} | Price: {product['currency']} {product['current_price']} (USD ${product['price_usd']})")

## 2. Cross-Store Arbitrage Comparison
comparison = compare_stores([
    "https://www.amazon.com/dp/B098XYZ123",
    "https://shopee.ph/product/12345/67890",
    "https://www.ebay.com/itm/392019482104"
])

print(f"Cheapest Deal: {comparison['arbitrage_summary']['cheapest_store']} at ${comparison['arbitrage_summary']['lowest_price_usd']}")
print(f"Max Savings: {comparison['arbitrage_summary']['max_savings_percentage']}%")
```

# 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 = {
    "product_urls": [
        "https://www.amazon.com/dp/B098XYZ123",
        "https://shopee.ph/product/12345/67890",
        "https://www.ebay.com/itm/392019482104"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("meanusarcanus/ecommerce-price-tracker-api").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);
});

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "product_urls": [
    "https://www.amazon.com/dp/B098XYZ123",
    "https://shopee.ph/product/12345/67890",
    "https://www.ebay.com/itm/392019482104"
  ]
}' |
apify call meanusarcanus/ecommerce-price-tracker-api --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,meanusarcanus/ecommerce-price-tracker-api"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
