## Pricing

from $1.60 / 1,000 weedmaps result items

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Weedmaps Scraper — Cannabis Dispensaries & Products

Weedmaps Scraper is a fast, reliable, and cost-effective Apify Actor to extract cannabis storefront dispensaries, delivery services, and live product menus from Weedmaps. Search by city, state, zip code, GPS coordinates, brand, keyword, or direct Weedmaps URLs.

***

### Features

- **Storefront Dispensaries & Delivery Services:** Extract business profiles, license numbers (recreational and medical), phone numbers, email addresses, websites, operating hours, amenities (curbside pickup, payment types), and GPS coordinates.
- **Live Product Menus:** Scrape cannabis products with real-time pricing, discounts, THC/CBD potency percentages, strains, genetics (Indica/Sativa/Hybrid), categories (Flower, Edibles, Vapes, Concentrates, Pre-rolls, etc.), package weights, and photos.
- **Flexible Location Filtering:** Search any US state or Canadian province by city/state name (e.g. `Los Angeles, CA`, `Denver, CO`), zip code (e.g. `90210`), or precise latitude/longitude (`34.0522,-118.2437`).
- **Direct Weedmaps URL Support:** Pass direct dispensary URLs (`https://weedmaps.com/dispensaries/stiiizy`), delivery URLs, or region listing pages.
- **Cross-Dispensary Product Search:** Find specific cannabis brands, strains, or items (e.g. `STIIIZY`, `live resin gummies`, `Alien Kush`) across all retailers in a geographic radius.
- **Ultra-Fast & Cost-Efficient:** Powered by direct HTTP requests with TLS fingerprinting. No slow headless browsers needed, running comfortably on 256 MB memory.

### Pricing & Pay Per Event (PPE)

This Actor uses **Pay per event (PPE)** pricing with full platform costs included (`isPPEPlatformUsagePaidByUser = false`). You only pay for successful results delivered to your dataset.

| Event | Free | Bronze (2.5% off) | Silver (5% off) | Gold (20% off) |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| **Result item** (`apify-default-dataset-item`) | $0.002 | $0.00195 | $0.0019 | $0.0016 |

> **Note on Free Accounts:** Runs on Apify Free accounts deliver up to **5 records** per run. Upgrade to an Apify paid subscription for unlimited data extraction.

#### Representative Run Costs

- **20 dispensaries:** $0.00625 start + (20 × $0.002) = **$0.046**
- **100 products:** $0.00625 start + (100 × $0.002) = **$0.206**
- **500 items (dispensaries + menus):** $0.00625 start + (500 × $0.002) = **$1.006**

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).
