## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Product Link QC Grabber

Paste a full Weidian, Taobao/Tmall or 1688 product link and get provider-reported
warehouse QC photos, their provider names, and a simple browsable gallery.
Useful for buyers, sourcing tools and catalog teams checking a specific listing.

```json
{"urls":["https://weidian.com/item.html?itemID=7265511373"],"maxImages":100}
```

The Actor checks RepTools and KakoFind. An optional secret `qualitlyApiKey`
enables Qualit.ly using your own quota. No provider key is bundled. Supported
agent links must contain a full original marketplace URL in their `url` query
parameter. Short links, Yupoo albums and arbitrary URLs are not supported.

### Output

One Dataset row per unique marketplace listing contains `images` (objects with
`url` and `providers`), `imageCount`, `providerChecks`, `checkedAt`, `status`,
`coverage` and `truncated`. `GALLERY.html` opens the photos without ZIP files,
`IMAGE_URLS.txt` contains only image URLs, and `RESULTS` contains JSON results.
Open an original image on iPhone and use Safari's Save Image action when offered.
The Actor cannot silently write to an iPhone camera roll.

`found` means a provider returned photos; `no_match` means all checked providers
returned valid empty responses; `unchecked` means no photos were found and a
provider failed. Partial coverage is explicitly reported even when photos exist.
A no-match result does not establish that no warehouse photos exist anywhere.

These are provider-reported photos for the listing ID, not seller album photos
and not a guarantee of product quality or the exact variant/batch being ordered.
Image links remain on the provider/CDN and may expire or block hotlinking. No
images are downloaded, rehosted or republished by this Actor.

### Limits

Up to 100 unique inputs per run, 500 images per listing, sequential checks with
2.2-second spacing between listings and 20-second provider timeouts. Rate limits
are recorded without bypassing them. Only fixed provider endpoints are fetched;
user URLs are parsed rather than visited. No login, private order access, proxy
rotation or access-control bypass. Provider availability can change.

Configured launch price: $0.002 per unique listing returning at least one photo
($2 per 1,000 successful listings), plus a $0.00005 startup event. Empty or failed
lookups and extra photos have no result-event charge. The Actor is privately
deployed; public Store publication is queued after the daily publication cap.
Consult the live Pricing tab before running a public version.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "urls": [
        "https://weidian.com/item.html?itemID=7265511373"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("skyfishdev/product-link-qc-grabber").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "urls": ["https://weidian.com/item.html?itemID=7265511373"] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("skyfishdev/product-link-qc-grabber").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "urls": [
    "https://weidian.com/item.html?itemID=7265511373"
  ]
}' |
apify call skyfishdev/product-link-qc-grabber --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,skyfishdev/product-link-qc-grabber"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
