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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## eBay Sold-Price Monitor — New Sales & Price Moves (Vigia) > Monitor eBay sold listings for a search and get alerted only on real changes: new sold listings and sold-price moves, with lowest-price-ever tracking. For resellers and arbitrage. Charges only on change. ### Free tier — 10 results free on every run **The first 10 results of every run are free**, on every run you ever make — not a one-off trial. Run it on your own subjects and see the real output before you are billed for a single result. One guard: the free allowance never covers more than half of a run, so a run returning 6 results gets 3 free. That keeps the offer sustainable. ### What it does Track real sold prices for a search term to price your own inventory. You get **only what changed since your last check** — never a full re-dump to diff yourself. ### Why Vigia — 5 advantages a raw scraper can't match 1. **You pay the alert price only for real change.** New-sold listing alerts are billed only for genuinely new sold listings since your last check. A quiet run bills just the small source-check fee (the cost of looking) — never the alert price on unchanged data. Raw scrapers bill every row of a full re-scan every run. 2. **Never billed on a failed source.** The source check is charged only when the source actually responded. If it's down, you don't pay for our outage. 3. **Append-only delta + spike signal.** The first monitored run stores a free baseline; later runs deliver only what's new, plus a velocity-spike alert when volume suddenly surges (trend / review-bomb / hiring-surge). 4. **Hard cost cap you control.** Set `maxTotalChargeUsd` and the run can never bill above it — predictable spend, no surprise invoice. 5. **Agent-ready output.** Clean, normalized rows and a `RUN_SUMMARY.json` with ready-to-use signals — chainable from any MCP / A2A agent in one step. ### Example input ```json { "searchKeywords": [ "nintendo switch oled", "dyson v15" ], "monitorEnabled": true, "maxTotalChargeUsd": 1.0 } ```` Set `monitorEnabled: true` so the first run stores a free baseline and later runs return only new results. Pin a `monitorId` to keep separate targets from sharing state. ### Output Each row is a normalized change record: `record_id`, `name`, `price`, `previous_price`, `price_change`, `change_type`, `at_lowest_ever`, `source_url`. A `RUN_SUMMARY.json` accompanies every run with the aggregated signal (counts, velocity spikes, trend). ### How you're charged - **Sold listing alert** — billed once per new sold listing since the last check (this is the only charge that scales with change). - **Source check** ($0.30) — billed once per monitored target per run, **only when the source responded**. A failed source is free. - **A quiet run bills only the source check** ($0.30), never the alert price. Vigia never scrapes the source itself; it chains a licensed scraper, caps every call, and passes you only the delta. *** *Part of the Vigia monitoring suite — change-only billing, outage-safe, agent-ready.* ### Related scrapers Same data, other sources — all with the same free tier, the same clean schema and the same pay-only-for-what-you-get billing: | Actor | |---| | [Amazon Best Sellers Scraper - Ranks & New Entrants](https://apify.com/om_kh/vigia-amazon-bestseller-monitor) | | [Amazon Search Results Scraper - Products & Prices](https://apify.com/om_kh/vigia-amazon-keyword-monitor) | | [Amazon Reviews Scraper - Ratings, Text & Dates](https://apify.com/om_kh/vigia-amazon-review-intelligence) | | [Amazon Price & Stock Scraper - Price History Rows](https://apify.com/om_kh/vigia-price-stock-delta) | | [Etsy Listings Scraper - Prices, Stock & Shops](https://apify.com/om_kh/vigia-etsy-shop-monitor) | | [Company Careers & ATS Jobs API - Workday, Greenhouse](https://apify.com/om_kh/vigia-clean-jobs-delta) | # Actor input Schema ## `searchKeywords` (type: `array`): Search keywords (e.g. a product name) to monitor eBay sold listings for. ## `currentProducts` (type: `array`): Skip the chained fetch and pass listing data directly. ## `previousProducts` (type: `array`): Prior-run records; used to compute changes when not in persistent monitor mode. ## `maxTotalChargeUsd` (type: `number`): Hard maximum amount that this run may charge. ## `sources` (type: `array`): Declare every upstream source before this run. ## `monitorEnabled` (type: `boolean`): The first monitored run stores a free baseline. Later runs deliver and charge only new results. ## `monitorId` (type: `string`): Pins the persistent baseline to a name of your choice.
