## 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`).

With `detailedInfo: true` each ad page is visited and the record also carries the **full description**, the attribute table as a JSON string (`attributes`, e.g. `{"Type de meuble":"Sofa-lit","Année":"2022","Couleurs":"Black"}`), `conditionLabel` (Usagé / Neuf), `offerType` (Offre de particulier / commerçant), `sellerSince` and `year`.

#### ⚙️ **Configuration**

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `url` | String | *(required)* | LesPAC category, city or search URL, e.g. `https://www.lespac.com/montreal/ameublement_b2g17567k1R2.jsa`. The URL must end with the site's search token (`…k1R2.jsa`); English `/en/` URLs work too. |
| `maxItems` | Integer | `100` | Maximum number of ads to return (0 = everything the site exposes, up to 100 pages × 20 ads). |
| `detailedInfo` | Boolean | `false` | Visit each ad page for the full description, attributes and seller details (one extra request per ad). |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Object | Apify Proxy (auto) | Proxy settings; switch to RESIDENTIAL only if results are empty. |

##### Example Input

```json
{
  "url": "https://www.lespac.com/montreal/ameublement_b2g17567k1R2.jsa",
  "maxItems": 100,
  "detailedInfo": false
}
```

##### Getting your category or search URL

1. Open LesPAC.com, pick a category (or a city, or type a search) and apply any filters (price, condition, sub-category …)
2. Copy the full URL from your browser address bar — it ends with a token such as `_b2g17567k1R2.jsa`
3. Paste it as the `url` input. Pages are read in order (the `k1` part of the token is the page number) until `maxItems` is reached.

Results are sorted the way the site sorts them (distance from the chosen city by default); pinned ads that the site repeats on every page are returned only once.

***

#### 💬 **Support and Feedback**

Reach out via Apify support channels or leave feedback on the Actor's page.

#### **Is it legal to scrape LesPAC data?**

It is legal to scrape publicly available data such as prices, titles, and listing details. Results may contain personal data (e.g. seller names); scrape personal data only with a legitimate reason. Personal data is protected by Quebec's Law 25, PIPEDA and other regulations — consult your legal advisor if unsure.

echo '{
  "url": "https://www.lespac.com/montreal/ameublement_b2g17567k1R2.jsa",

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,ocrad/lespac-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).
