## 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

## OpenSooq Scraper (v0.2)

Give it a mix of direct OpenSooq listing URLs **and/or** search or category
URLs. Search/category URLs get crawled automatically for listing links
first; every listing (direct or discovered) is then scraped for: title,
price, currency, listing id, city, brand, model, condition, description.

### What makes this different from a basic scraper

- **`ai_tags`**: OpenSooq's own AI-generated tag list per listing (type,
  features, warranty, etc.) — structured metadata that's easy to skip if
  you only scrape the obvious fields.
- **`seller`**: rating, review count, member-since date, total listing
  count — lets a buyer or analyst judge seller trustworthiness, not just
  read the listing.
- **`scraped_at`** timestamp on every record — run this on a schedule and
  you get your own price-history dataset over time, which OpenSooq itself
  doesn't expose.
- **Search/category crawling**, not just single listings — so a user
  doesn't need to already have a list of listing URLs in hand.

### What's proven vs what needs testing (v0.2 status)

- **Proven (v0.1, tested across 4 real listings — phones, car, property
  rental)**: JSON-LD + spec-table extraction of the core fields works
  reliably; price=0 "Ask For Price" listings are correctly dropped instead
  of reported as free.
- **New in v0.2, NOT yet tested against a real page**:
  - `find_listing_links()` — the logic that reads a search/category page
    and pulls out individual listing URLs. The link selector is a
    reasonable guess (any `<a>` whose href ends in a long numeric id), but
    hasn't been run against a real OpenSooq search page yet.
  - `ai_tags` and `seller` extraction — built from the same one example
    listing as v0.1's core fields, not yet cross-checked on other listings.
  - **First thing to check**: run it with one search/category URL and
    watch the log. If it logs "0 links found", the selector in
    `find_listing_links()` needs adjusting against that page's real HTML.

### How to run it locally (test before deploying to Apify)

```
pip install -r requirements.txt
python3 -m src.main
```

You'll need an `apify_storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json` file with
your input (or run it through the Apify CLI, which sets this up for you:
`apify run` after `apify init` pulls in this project).

### How to deploy to Apify Store

1. Install the Apify CLI: `npm install -g apify-cli`
2. From this folder: `apify login`, then `apify push`
3. This uploads the Actor to your Apify account — from there you can test
   runs, set pricing, write a public description, and publish it to the
   Store from the Apify Console (console.apify.com).

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Mix of: (a) direct listing URLs, and/or (b) search or category URLs (e.g. https://jo.opensooq.com/en/search?query=iphone or a category page). Search/category URLs will be crawled for listing links automatically.

## `maxListingsPerSearchUrl` (type: `integer`):

Limits how many individual listings get scraped from each search/category URL, to control cost.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://jo.opensooq.com/en/search/285273240"
  ],
  "maxListingsPerSearchUrl": 30
}
```

# 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 = {
    "startUrls": [
        "https://jo.opensooq.com/en/search/285273240"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("momen-afaqeh/opensooq-listing-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);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "startUrls": ["https://jo.opensooq.com/en/search/285273240"] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("momen-afaqeh/opensooq-listing-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://jo.opensooq.com/en/search/285273240"
  ]
}' |
apify call momen-afaqeh/opensooq-listing-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,momen-afaqeh/opensooq-listing-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
