## 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`).

# README

## JB Hi-Fi Australia Products & Prices

JB Hi-Fi's full online catalogue — TVs, computers, phones, audio, gaming, appliances — as clean JSON: name, brand, price, was-price, availability, SKU, product type, tags, image and link. Scan the whole range or just the products you care about.

**Who it's for:** electronics price-comparison and deal-alert apps, resellers and refurb traders checking RRP vs sale price, market analysts tracking tech pricing in Australia, and AI shopping agents.

### Use cases

- **Sale alerts** — `specialsOnly: true` with a keyword list, scheduled daily
- **Price history** — run daily and chart `price` by `variantId` (great for PS5, iPhone, GPUs)
- **Range monitoring** — new products by `publishedAt` in a collection such as `computers-tablets`
- **Cross-retailer comparison** — pair with other Australian retail actors on `sku`/`title`

### Example input

```json
{ "keywords": ["playstation", "airpods"], "specialsOnly": false, "availableOnly": true, "maxResults": 200 }
```

### Example output

| title | vendor | productType | price | compareAtPrice | isOnSpecial | available |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sony PlayStation 5 Console (Slim) | Sony | Gaming Consoles | 749.00 | 799.95 | true | true |
| Apple AirPods Pro 3 | Apple | Headphones | 399.00 | null | false | true |

Each record also has `sku`, `tags`, `description`, `imageUrl`, `url`, `publishedAt`, `updatedAt` and `scrapedAt`.

### Input

| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| `keywords` | Fast search, up to 10 best-matching products per keyword (set `collection` instead to scan a whole range with keyword filtering) |
| `collection` | Collection handle, e.g. `tvs`, `headphones` |
| `vendor` | Brand filter, e.g. `Sony` |
| `specialsOnly` | Only discounted variants |
| `availableOnly` | Skip out-of-stock (default on) |
| `maxResults` | Cap records; `0` = all |

### Cost

Pay per result: a flat start fee plus a fraction of a cent per record. The full catalogue is tens of thousands of records; use `keywords` or `collection` to keep runs small.

### Notes

Prices are JB Hi-Fi's online prices and may differ in store. Reads the store's public product feed; no login, no personal data. Not affiliated with JB Hi-Fi Limited.

# 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 = {
    "keywords": [
        "playstation",
        "airpods"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("resourceful_playbook/jbhifi-au-products").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) => {

run_input = { "keywords": [
        "playstation",
        "airpods",
    ] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("resourceful_playbook/jbhifi-au-products").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "keywords": [
    "playstation",
    "airpods"
  ]
}' |
apify call resourceful_playbook/jbhifi-au-products --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,resourceful_playbook/jbhifi-au-products"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
