## 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.

The most complete Best Buy scraper available. It returns every field a Best Buy US listing exposes, from SKU, name, brand and model number to current and regular price, and adds derived fields such as onSale, savings and savingsPercent, live availability (in stock, shipping eligible, store pickup), customer rating and rating count. Five filters let you target exactly the products you need, with opt-in add-ons for the full specifications table and an AI product summary.

### What it does

This actor collects product data from the Best Buy US storefront. Give it a search query, a category, or a list of product URLs and it returns clean, flat records for each product: identifiers (SKU, model number), pricing (current price, regular price, sale savings and percent), availability (in stock, shipping eligible, store pickup), ratings (average and count), category, condition, open-box flag and the primary image.

Two optional, paid add-ons deepen each record:

- Full specifications: fetches the product detail page and returns the complete specifications table, key specs, all images, the full description and warranty.
- AI product summary: adds a one-line summary, pros and cons, ideal buyer and a value assessment.

You get results in JSON, CSV or Excel. Empty runs are never charged.

{
  "searchQuery": "laptop",
  "minPrice": 200,
  "maxPrice": 800,
  "sortBy": "Best Selling",
  "maxResults": 25
}
```

Paste that into the input, click Start, and read the results from the dataset.

### Run via API and CLI

Start a run with the Apify API:

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~bestbuy-scraper/runs?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchQuery":"airpods","maxResults":25}'
```

Or with the Apify CLI:

```bash
apify call scrapers_lat/bestbuy-scraper --input '{"searchQuery":"airpods","maxResults":25}'
```

### Fetch results

```bash
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/DATASET_ID/items?token=YOUR_TOKEN&format=json"
```

Swap `format=json` for `csv` or `xlsx` to export a spreadsheet.

### Billing and limits

- Pay per result: you are charged per product returned, plus a small one-time actor start event.
- Add-ons are billed only when they succeed: the full specifications event is charged only when a real spec table is returned, and the AI summary event only when the model returns a usable summary.
- Never charged on failure: empty runs and failed fetches produce no billable results.
- Free Apify plans are capped at 10 products per run, and the paid add-ons are disabled on free plans.
- Spend cap: set a maximum total charge on the run and the actor stops returning billable results once that cap is reached.

### FAQ and troubleshooting

**Which Best Buy site does it cover?** The Best Buy US storefront (bestbuy.com).

**No results?** Check your search query spelling and widen your price filters. Very narrow queries can return few products.

**Can I scrape specific products?** Yes. Put one or more Best Buy product page URLs in productUrls.

**Do I need a proxy or any login?** No. The actor handles fetching and anti-bot internally. You never configure a proxy or provide cookies.

**How current is the data?** Every record is fetched live at run time and stamped with observedAt.
