## 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

### Epey Scraper — Turkey Prices & Spec Comparison

Scrape Epey.com's spec-comparison listings — phones, TVs, laptops, smartwatches and other electronics categories on the Turkish price-comparison site. For every product in a category page you get its name, brand, price in Turkish lira, how many sites/offers list it, a technical score, and the full spec table for that category (screen size, RAM, battery, panel type, etc. — whatever columns the category exposes).

#### What it scrapes

Epey.com renders each category (e.g. `akilli-telefonlar` for smartphones) as a server-rendered comparison table: one header row defining the spec columns for that category, and one row per product. The actor reads the header first, so the same parser adapts automatically to whatever spec columns a category shows — phones surface screen/storage/RAM/battery, TVs surface size/panel, and so on, with no per-category code changes needed. Pages are paginated (31 products per page) and the actor walks pages until it hits `maxItems`, runs out of products, or reaches an unknown-category soft-404.

#### Input

- **Category slug** (`category`, text) — the Epey category from the URL path, e.g. `akilli-telefonlar` (smartphones), `televizyon` (TVs), `dizustu-bilgisayar` (laptops), `akilli-saat` (smartwatches). Defaults to `akilli-telefonlar`.
- **Max products** (`maxItems`, number) — cap on how many products to return across all pages. Set to `0` for everything available. Default 31 (one page). You're charged per product returned, so this is your budget control.
- **Proxy configuration** (`proxyConfiguration`) — Apify Proxy, prefilled to RESIDENTIAL group with country TR. No external proxy account or key needed from you; it's wired in and ready out of the box.

#### Output fields

One dataset record per product:

- `product_id`, `name`, `brand` (inferred from the product name), `variant`
- `price`, `currency` (parsed from Turkish-format price text, e.g. `"119.999,00 TL"` → `119999.0` / `"TL"`), `num_sites`, `num_offers` (how many retailers/listings the price is aggregated from)
- `score` — Epey's technical comparison score for the product
- `specs` — a dynamic object of category-specific spec labels → values (e.g. `"Ekran Boyutu"`, `"Bellek (RAM)"` for phones), taken straight from that category's own header row
- `url`, `image_url`
- `category`, `page_number`, `scraped_at` — provenance fields

#### Pricing

Pay-per-result (PPE) — billed per product record returned (event: `product-item`). Only successfully pushed products are charged; a blocked or empty run charges nothing. See the Store pricing tab for the current per-result rate.

#### Notes

The actor fetches pages through Apify's Residential proxy (Turkey exit) with a Chrome-impersonating HTTP client, which is what makes reading Epey's server-rendered tables reliable — no browser, no CAPTCHA-solving needed for this target. If a page comes back too small or with a blocking status code, the actor rotates its proxy session and retries rather than pushing partial or garbage data. Unknown category slugs are detected as Epey's own soft-404 page and reported as a clean "not found," not a silent empty result.

# Actor input Schema

## `category` (type: `string`):

Epey category slug from the URL path. Examples: 'akilli-telefonlar' (smartphones), 'televizyon' (TVs), 'dizustu-bilgisayar' (laptops), 'akilli-saat' (smartwatches). Defaults to 'akilli-telefonlar'.

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

Maximum number of products to return across all pages (31 per page). Set 0 for all available. You are charged per product returned.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Apify Residential proxy with country TR is recommended for reliable access. No external proxy account needed.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "category": "akilli-telefonlar",
  "maxItems": 31,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "TR"
  }
}
```

# Actor output Schema

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

// 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("s7_studio/epey-spec-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}`);

  "category": "akilli-telefonlar",
  "maxItems": 31,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "TR"

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,s7_studio/epey-spec-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
