## 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`).

### ⚡ Why standard scrapers are costing you money

Most scraping tools just dump raw prices and call it "arbitrage." They might show you a product that is €30 cheaper on one site compared to Amazon. But in reality, sellers lose money because raw scrapers ignore the real-world costs of e-commerce.

**We do the heavy lifting for you.**
Cerberus uses a built-in financial engine called **The Shield EU**. Before we show you a deal, we automatically deduct:

- 📉 **Marketplace Commissions** (~15% baseline Amazon/platform fee)
- 🚚 **Cross-border EU Shipping** (Calculated Prime / DHL freight tiers)
- 🛡️ **Return Buffer** (A mandatory 3% statutory reserve for customer returns)

If a product survives *The Shield* and still makes money, we label it a **💎 DIAMOND** deal. You get pure, verified net profit.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call neotechorigin/cerberus-pro-eu --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,neotechorigin/cerberus-pro-eu"
        }
    }

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).
