## What's an Apify Actor?
Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.
In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):
```bash
npm install apify-client
```
In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md):
```bash
pip install apify-client
```
In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):
````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash
In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md).

| Use case | Who benefits |
|---|---|

### How to use it
1. Add one or more **Search Keywords**. Chinese keywords return the most results (for example `手机壳` for phone cases, `蓝牙耳机` for bluetooth earphones). English keywords also work.
2. Set **Max Products To Scrape**.
3. Run, then export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull the data through the Apify API.
### Frequently Asked Questions
**Why do Chinese keywords work best?**
1688.com is a domestic Chinese marketplace, so its catalog is indexed in Chinese. A Chinese keyword matches far more listings than its English translation. You can paste terms straight from a translator.
**What does repurchase rate mean?**
It is the share of buyers who placed a second order with that supplier. A higher repurchase rate is one of the strongest signals of consistent product quality and reliable fulfilment.
**Is the price the final price?**
The price shown is the listing's headline wholesale price in CNY. Wholesale prices on 1688 often drop further at higher order quantities, which you negotiate or see once you open the listing.
**How fresh is the data?**
Every product is read live at run time, so each record reflects the listing at the moment of the run (see observedAt).
