## 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.

# README

## Amazon Today's Deals Scraper

A powerful Apify Actor that scrapes Amazon Today's Deals pages to extract product deals, prices, discounts, and deal timing information.

### Why Choose Us?

- **Comprehensive Data Extraction**: Extracts all deal information including ASIN, prices, discounts, images, and deal timing
- **Smart Proxy Management**: Automatic proxy fallback (no proxy → datacenter → residential) with retry logic
- **Real-time Processing**: Saves data immediately as it's scraped
- **Robust Error Handling**: Handles rate limits and blocks gracefully
- **Scalable**: Can scrape up to 10,000 deals per run

### Key Features

- ✅ Scrapes Amazon Today's Deals pages
- ✅ Extracts product details (ASIN, title, image, link)
- ✅ Captures pricing information (current price, original price, savings)
- ✅ Gets deal timing (start time, end time, deal state)
- ✅ Automatic proxy fallback on blocks
- ✅ Duplicate detection
- ✅ Real-time data saving

### Input

#### JSON Example

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.amazon.com/cybermonday"
    }
  ],
  "maxItems": 500,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
````

#### Input Fields

- **startUrls** (array, optional): List of Amazon deal page URLs. If empty, defaults to `https://www.amazon.com/cybermonday`
- **maxItems** (integer, default: 500): Maximum number of deals to scrape (1-10000)
- **proxyConfiguration** (object, optional): Proxy settings. By default, no proxy is used. If Amazon blocks the request, the actor automatically falls back to datacenter proxy, then residential proxy.
