## Pricing

from $3.50 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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`).

Query in, Kuaishou/Kwai video and creator results out. Trend and commerce intelligence are optional value layers after direct search.

Search Kuaishou/Kwai by query and return structured public video and creator results, with optional engagement and commerce trend scoring.

Kuaishou is a massive video ecosystem, but raw scraping leaves the user to decide which videos, creators, and changes matter. This Actor adds a compact intelligence layer to public Kuaishou search results.

### Why use this Actor

This Actor is built for users who need structured evidence and a decision layer rather than a pile of raw HTML. It extracts public-source data, normalizes the records, assigns deterministic scores that can be inspected, and emits compact actions suitable for people, APIs, MCP clients, and autonomous agents. The design favors lightweight HTTP execution where the source permits it and fails explicitly when a source blocks access instead of silently inventing rows. Snapshot input can be reused across scheduled runs to turn one-time extraction into monitoring.

### Key features

- Public keyword video search from Kuaishou server-rendered search pages.
- Views, likes, author, title, media URLs, publication time and duration.
- Deterministic engagement and trend scoring.
- Optional prior snapshot for exact view/like/title deltas.
- Agent actions such as WATCH\_HIGH\_PRIORITY, WATCH and MONITOR.

### Input

Provide one or more search keywords, result limits, optional minimum views/likes, and optionally a previous snapshot.

### Output

Each row represents one public video with normalized metrics, trendScore, changeScore, evidence fields and agentAction.

### Example

```json
{
  "queries": [
    "汽车"
  ],
  "maxResultsPerQuery": 3,
  "minViews": 0,
  "minLikes": 0,
  "previousSnapshot": []
}
```

The default dataset contains one billable decision-ready row per extracted entity. Aggregate summaries and reusable snapshots are stored in the default key-value store when applicable. Scores are deterministic heuristics, not claims of certainty.

### Use cases

- Creator discovery and competitor monitoring.
- Brand/content trend research.
- Commerce and category demand discovery.
- Scheduled monitoring with snapshot reuse.

### Pricing

Initial benchmark price: US$0.005 per qualified video row before tier discounts.

The Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. The primary event is one qualified row written to the default dataset. The product is designed to keep platform cost materially below the event price at normal workloads; the factory rechecks margin from live validation runs before publication.

### Limitations

Search coverage follows Kuaishou public SSR results. Private/login-only data and full comment trees are outside v1.

Public web sources change. A successful extraction today is not a contractual guarantee that a source will preserve the same markup tomorrow. Anti-bot systems, regional network behavior, deleted content, private accounts, and login-only data can reduce coverage. This Actor does not bypass account access controls and does not claim access to private data. Use the output as operational evidence and revalidate high-stakes decisions against the original source.

# Actor input Schema

## `queries` (type: `array`):

Kuaishou/Kwai search keywords. Chinese terms usually provide the richest coverage.

## `maxResultsPerQuery` (type: `integer`):

Maximum public video rows per keyword.

## `minViews` (type: `integer`):

Filter out videos below this view count.

## `minLikes` (type: `integer`):

Filter out videos below this like count.

## `previousSnapshot` (type: `array`):

Optional rows from a prior run for exact view/like/title deltas.

## `mcpConnectors` (type: `array`):

Optional MCP connectors authorized in your Apify account. Use them to send or write this Actor result to tools such as Slack, Notion, GitHub, Sentry, Supabase, or another compatible MCP service.

## `mcpToolName` (type: `string`):

Optional exact MCP tool name. Leave blank to let the selected MCP action preset discover a compatible tool automatically.

## `mcpToolArguments` (type: `object`):

JSON object passed to the selected MCP tool. String values may use {{actor\_title}}, {{result\_summary}}, or {{result\_json}} placeholders.

## `mcpFailOnError` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, an MCP delivery error fails the Actor run. Disabled by default so data extraction and intelligence results remain available even if the external destination is unavailable.

## `mcpActionPreset` (type: `string`):

Choose a safe action pattern. AUTO\_SAFE\_WRITE discovers a compatible non-destructive write tool automatically; use a specific preset for Slack, GitHub, Notion, or database delivery.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "queries": [
    "汽车"
  ],
  "maxResultsPerQuery": 10,
  "minViews": 0,
  "minLikes": 0,
  "previousSnapshot": [],
  "mcpToolName": "",
  "mcpToolArguments": {},
  "mcpFailOnError": false,
  "mcpActionPreset": "AUTO_SAFE_WRITE"
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("quanmatrix/kuaishou-creator-video-commerce-intelligence").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)

echo '{
  "queries": [
    "汽车"
  ],
  "previousSnapshot": []

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {

            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,quanmatrix/kuaishou-creator-video-commerce-intelligence"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
