## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. 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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Pricium Product Search API

Search products from multiple e-commerce websites using the Pricium Search API.

This Actor allows you to search products by keyword and returns structured JSON results from the Pricium Search API.

***

## Features

- 🔍 Search products by keyword
- 🌐 Search on supported e-commerce domains
- 📄 Pagination support
- ⚡ Fast API response
- 📦 Returns structured JSON
- 🔐 Secure API key handling using Apify Secrets

***

## Input

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
| query | String | ✅ Yes | Product keyword to search |
| domain | String | No | Target website (amazon.in, flipkart.com, dmart.in, etc.) |
| page | Integer | No | Result page number (Default: 1) |
| display\_refresh\_rate\_in\_hertz | Integer | No | Optional display refresh rate filter |

***

## Example Input

```json
{
  "query": "iphone",
  "domain": "amazon.in",
  "page": 1
}
```

***

## Example Output

```json
{
  "total_products": 218,
  "total_returned": 82,
  "products": [
    {
      "title": "Apple iPhone 16",
      "selling_price": "₹79,999",
      "url": "...",
      "image": "..."
    }
  ]
}
```

***

## Supported Domains

This Actor can search products on supported domains such as:

- amazon.in
- flipkart.com
- dmart.in

*(Add more supported domains here if your API supports them.)*

***

## How It Works

1. Enter a search query.
2. Optionally provide a target domain.
3. Run the Actor.
4. The Actor calls the Pricium Search API.
5. Results are returned as structured JSON and stored in the dataset.

***

## Notes

- `query` is required.
- `page` defaults to **1**.
- The Actor returns the original response from the Pricium Search API.
- API credentials are securely managed using Apify environment variables.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("pricium/search").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);
});

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("pricium/search").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
