## 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.md):
```bash
npm install apify-client
```
In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/integrations/mcp.md).
If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

### Frequently Asked Questions
**What recalls does this scraper cover?**
It covers consumer product recalls published by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission through the official SaferProducts.gov web service. This includes toys, electronics, appliances, furniture, sporting goods and other consumer products, but not vehicles or food and drugs, which other agencies handle.
**How many recalls can I pull in one run?**
The CPSC service returns the entire matching set in a single response, so you can pull thousands of recalls. Use the Max Items field to cap the run, or narrow with a date range or keyword to keep each pull focused.
**How do I filter recalls by date or keyword?**
Set Recall Date From and Recall Date To with YYYY-MM-DD dates to pull a window of recalls. You can also match a keyword against the recall title (for example fire or lithium) or against the product name (for example stroller or heater).
**Does a recall include the products, hazards and the remedy?**
Yes. Every record carries the recalled products with unit counts, the hazards, any reported injuries, the manufacturers, importers and retailers, the country of manufacture, and the refund, repair or replacement remedy offered to consumers.
**What happens to fields a recall does not list?**
Fields the CPSC does not provide for a record, such as a UPC, a manufacturer or a product model, are returned as null or an empty array. The scraper never invents values, so imported goods with no listed manufacturer simply show the importer instead.
