## 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

## SoloTodo Chile Scraper - products, specifications, and store prices

Export public product comparison data from [SoloTodo.cl](https://www.solotodo.cl/) to an Apify dataset. The Actor combines category listings with public product pages to deliver product specifications and current retailer offers for the Chilean technology market.

### What this Actor extracts

- Product ID, name, brand, part number, image, and SoloTodo URL.
- Best offer price, corresponding normal price, store, availability, and retailer link.
- All visible retailer offers serialized in `offers_json` for downstream analysis.
- Key specifications such as processor, RAM, screen, storage, graphics, operating system, weight, and SoloTodo score when the category provides them.
- Category, page, position, source update time, and UTC extraction timestamp.

Supported categories include notebooks, graphics cards, monitors, mobile phones, processors, televisions, headphones, storage drives, and consoles.

### Input example

```json
{
  "categorySlug": "notebooks",
  "maxItems": 20,
  "maxPages": 1,
  "includeOffers": true,
  "failOnNoResults": false
}
```

`includeOffers: true` reads each selected product page and includes retailer comparisons. Disable it for a faster category snapshot containing SoloTodo's best listed price only. Runs are intentionally bounded to at most 100 products and five category pages.

### Output example

```json
{
  "name": "HP Victus 15-FA2014LA [BA1U5LA]",
  "currency": "CLP",
  "best_offer_price": 699990,
  "best_store": "Falabella Marketplace",
  "offer_count": 10,
  "processor": "Intel Core i5-13420H",
  "ram": "16 GB DDR4 (3200 MHz)",
  "graphics": "NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 (6 GB)",
  "product_url": "https://www.solotodo.cl/products/..."
}
```

`OUTPUT` contains a compact run summary. Product rows are stored in the default dataset and can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, Excel, or through the Apify API.

### Responsible source use

SoloTodo's current `robots.txt` blocks `/search`. This Actor does not call that route. It reads only public category and `/products/...` pages, does not log in, does not bypass access controls, and waits between product-page requests. SoloTodo's terms state that prices and specifications are reference information; confirm purchase decisions with the linked retailer.

### No-result and source errors

- A valid empty category finishes with `status: no_results` unless `failOnNoResults` is enabled.
- Invalid or unsupported category input fails before any request.
- If a minority of product detail pages temporarily fail, listing results are preserved and reported as partial.
- If all requested offer pages fail, the run fails clearly instead of presenting incomplete comparisons as complete.

### Pricing

This Actor uses Pay per event at **USD 0.003 per product result** saved to the dataset. There is no Actor-start fee. The user also pays Apify platform usage.
