## Pricing

from $3.15 / 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?

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

## Xianyu / Goofish Resale Market & Arbitrage Intelligence

Analyze live public Xianyu/Goofish resale listings through Alibaba's signed H5/MTOP transport and turn raw marketplace rows into decision-ready resale intelligence.

### What it returns

Each row includes listing ID, title, live price in CNY, city, seller nickname, image, want count, free-shipping and bargainability flags, plus QuanMatrix decision fields: `demandScore`, optional benchmark `discountToReferencePct` and `grossSpreadCny`, snapshot `priceDelta` / `priceDeltaPct`, `arbitrageScore`, and `agentAction`.

The Actor also stores a reusable `SNAPSHOT` and a `MARKET_SUMMARY` with median price, buy-candidate count, average demand score and top opportunities.

### Why use this Actor

Most marketplace scrapers stop at extraction. This Actor is designed for repeated resale decisions. Supply a previous `SNAPSHOT` to measure exact price changes. Supply `referencePriceCny` to calculate benchmark spread and discount. The deterministic scoring layer turns those signals into `BUY_CANDIDATE`, `WATCH`, or `MONITOR` actions that downstream agents can consume without inventing their own business logic.

### Key features

It combines an anonymous signed H5/MTOP live feed with listing normalization, exact snapshot price deltas, reference-price spread analytics, a demand score based on observable marketplace signals, an arbitrage score, deterministic agent actions, reusable snapshots, and a compact market summary for recurring monitoring workflows.

### Input

- `maxResults`: 1-300 live listings.
- `keywordContains`: optional local title filter.
- `minPriceCny` / `maxPriceCny`: optional price band.
- `referencePriceCny`: optional retail, resale or sourcing benchmark.
- `sortBy`: `arbitrageScore`, `demandScore`, `price`, or `wantCount`.
- `previousSnapshot`: prior rows from `SNAPSHOT` for exact price deltas.

#### Example

```json
{
  "maxResults": 50,
  "referencePriceCny": 1200,
  "sortBy": "arbitrageScore",
  "previousSnapshot": []
}
```

### Use cases

Use it for resale-arbitrage scouting, second-hand market pricing, cross-market sourcing comparisons, price-drop monitoring, demand-signal research, and agentic ecommerce workflows. Twenty ready-made Task blueprints cover distinct commercial intents such as phones, laptops, gaming hardware, collectibles, luxury, wholesale-to-resale spread and recurring market pulse.

### Data transport

The Actor does not use brittle page HTML as its primary transport. It establishes an anonymous H5/MTOP session, obtains the temporary MTOP token, signs requests with the platform's normal H5 request scheme, and reads the structured home-feed response. No account credential is required for the supported v1 workflow.

### Limitations

v1 intentionally claims only the anonymous live home feed plus local title filtering. Authenticated keyword-search coverage is not advertised until it is independently hardened. Public platform contracts can change or throttle. Use the data in accordance with applicable laws and platform terms, and avoid decisions that unlawfully discriminate or misuse seller information.

### Pricing

Pay-per-event is tied to the useful customer outcome: one enriched resale-intelligence row. Tiered FREE / BRONZE / SILVER / GOLD pricing is managed by the factory pricing governor; higher account tiers inherit GOLD until a distinct enterprise case is justified.

### Output for automation

Dataset rows are JSON-first and stable for API, MCP and agent workflows. `SNAPSHOT` can be fed into a future run, while `MARKET_SUMMARY` gives a compact market-level result suitable for alerts and scheduled monitoring.

### Gen2 decision intelligence

This Actor preserves its original analysis and adds a decision layer with baseline awareness, regression detection, confidence, GO/WARN/BLOCK executive output, and an optional economic-impact estimate. Economic estimates are produced only when the user supplies `valuePerImpactUnitUsd`; the result states the calculation basis instead of inventing monetary value.

# Actor input Schema

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum recommendation-feed products to return.

## `targetPriceCny` (type: `number`):

Optional procurement target price used for gap and BUY\_SIGNAL decisions.

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

Optional previous rows keyed by goodsId for exact price-delta calculations.

## `valuePerImpactUnitUsd` (type: `number`):

Optional user-supplied USD value per detected impact unit. Used only for transparent economic impact estimates.

## `monthlyRuns` (type: `integer`):

Optional number of comparable monthly runs used with value per impact unit for the economic estimate.

## `previousAnalysis` (type: `object`):

Optional previous Gen2 output used to compare decision metrics and detect regression between analyses.

}
```

});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("quanmatrix/pinduoduo-commerce-intelligence").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}`);

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call quanmatrix/pinduoduo-commerce-intelligence --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

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