## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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

## PlayStation Store Scraper — Prices & Regions

Scrape **PlayStation Store** game data — name, platforms, base & discounted price,
discount info, image and metadata — and **compare prices across countries** in one run.

The PS Store is a client-rendered single-page app with no clean public API. This actor
runs a **real headless browser** and intercepts the store's own GraphQL responses, so it
returns exactly what the store shows a shopper — robust to page/DOM redesigns.

### What it does

- Look up one or many games and fetch each in one or many **regions (locales)**.
- Returns **localized price strings** (e.g. `$69.99`, `£69.99`, `2.799,00 TL`) **and**
  numeric values + ISO currency code, so you can compare or convert programmatically.
- Detects discounts (discounted price, discount text, sale end time), free / PS-Plus /
  subscription-tied titles.

### Cross-region price comparison (important)

PlayStation product IDs are **region-locked** — the US uses `UP9000-…`, Europe uses
`EP9000-…`, and the trailing title code differs too. A US product id simply doesn't exist
on the UK store.

For clean cross-region comparison, use the game's **concept id** — a single global number
(e.g. `10002456` for Marvel's Spider-Man 2). The actor opens
`store.playstation.com/<region>/concept/<id>` and lets each region resolve to its own
product automatically. You get one row per region, same game, comparable prices.

You can find a concept id in any `…/concept/<number>` store URL.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `productIds` | array | **Required.** Concept ids (`"10002456"`), region-specific product ids (`"UP9000-PPSA03016_00-MARVELSPIDERMAN2"`), or full product/concept URLs. Use **concept ids** for cross-region comparison. |
| `regions` | array | Store locales, e.g. `"en-us"`, `"en-gb"`, `"tr-tr"`, `"ja-jp"`, `"de-de"`. Default: `["en-us"]`. |
| `maxConcurrency` | integer | Parallel browser pages. Default `5`. |
| `useApifyProxy` | boolean | Route the browser through Apify Proxy. Default `true`. |
| `debug` | boolean | Dump captured responses / screenshot to the key-value store for troubleshooting. Default `false`. |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "productIds": ["10002456"],
  "regions": ["en-us", "en-gb", "tr-tr"]
}
````

### Output

One row per product × region:

```json
{
  "productId": "UP9000-PPSA03016_00-MARVELSPIDERMAN2",
  "region": "en-us",
  "url": "https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP9000-PPSA03016_00-MARVELSPIDERMAN2",
  "name": "Marvel’s Spider-Man 2",
  "conceptId": "10002456",
  "npTitleId": "PPSA03016_00",
  "platforms": ["PS5"],
  "basePrice": "$69.99",
  "basePriceValue": 69.99,
  "discountedPrice": "$69.99",
  "discountedPriceValue": 69.99,
  "currency": "USD",
  "discountText": null,
  "discountEndTime": null,
  "isFree": false,
  "isTiedToSubscription": false,
  "image": "https://image.api.playstation.com/vulcan/ap/rnd/.../cover.jpg"
}
```

Same game in three regions returns three rows — `en-us` `$69.99`, `en-gb` `£69.99`,
`tr-tr` `2.799,00 TL` — each with `currency` and numeric values for easy comparison.

### Pricing

**Pay per result — $5 / 1,000 results.** This actor runs a real browser (heavier compute
than a plain HTTP scraper), which is why it costs more than metadata-only actors. Each
product × region is one result.

### Notes & limitations

- **Region availability:** if a game isn't sold in a requested region, that region is
  skipped with a warning (no row). Using a concept id maximizes coverage.
- **Product ids are region-specific:** pass a concept id to compare the same game across
  regions; a raw product id only returns data in its own region.
- Prices reflect the store's current listing (any active sale is captured).

# Actor input Schema

## `productIds` (type: `array`):

What to look up. For CROSS-REGION price comparison use a numeric CONCEPT id (e.g. "10002456") or a /concept/<id> URL — it resolves to each region's own product automatically. You can also pass a region-specific product id (e.g. "UP9000-PPSA03016\_00-MARVELSPIDERMAN2") or a full product URL, but those only exist in their own region.

## `regions` (type: `array`):

Store locales to fetch each product in — for price comparison. Examples: "en-us", "en-gb", "tr-tr", "ja-jp", "de-de", "en-ro". Default: en-us.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

How many browser pages to run in parallel.

## `useApifyProxy` (type: `boolean`):

Route the browser through Apify Proxy (recommended to avoid blocks / geo issues).

## `debug` (type: `boolean`):

Dump captured GraphQL responses, page HTML and a screenshot to the key-value store (for troubleshooting).

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "productIds": [
    "10002456"
  ],
  "regions": [
    "en-us",
    "en-gb",
    "tr-tr"
  ],
  "maxConcurrency": 5,
  "useApifyProxy": true,
  "debug": false
}
```

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "productIds": [
        "10002456"

    "regions": [
        "en-us",
        "en-gb",
        "tr-tr"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("ponderable_hydrometer/ps-store-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);
});
