## 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

## Amazon Product Scraper — Zip-Code Accurate Prices

Scrape Amazon product data by **ASIN**, **product URL**, or **search keyword** across 15
marketplaces. **28 fields per product** — real-time prices, Best Sellers Rank, rating
distribution, specs, seller, demand signals, delivery estimates and Amazon's own review
aspects — **priced and dated for the zip code you choose**, not whatever region the
scraper happened to run from.

No Amazon API key. No Amazon login. No scraping infrastructure to maintain.

***

### Why this one

Amazon shows different prices, delivery dates and availability depending on where the
shopper is. Most scrapers ignore this and silently return whatever their proxy saw — so
your "price history" is really a history of random data-centre locations.

This Actor sets a real delivery location first, then scrapes. And it bills that setup
**once per run**, not once per product.

| | Typical competitor | This Actor |
|---|---|---|
| Location-accurate pricing | rarely, or billed per result | yes, billed **once per run** |
| Charged for not-found items | often | **never** |
| Charged for blocked retries | often | **never** |
| Minimum charge | commonly applied | **none** |
| Missing price returned as | `0` | `null` (a 0 would mean "free") |
| Delivery estimate per zip | rarely | yes, `deliveryDate` moves with the zip |
| Duplicate rows billed | sometimes | **never** — deduplicated before charging |

Worked example — 100 products with a zip code:

```
This Actor:  100 x $0.002  +  $0.02 once      = $0.22
Per-result location billing: 100 x $0.038     = $3.80
```

***

### Quick start

Pick any one of three input modes. You can combine them.

**By ASIN**

```json
{ "asins": ["B07CMS5Q6P", "B07L4BM851"] }
```

**By URL**

```json
{ "urls": ["https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CMS5Q6P"] }
```

**By keyword search**

```json
{ "search": ["wireless gaming mouse"], "maxItemsPerStartUrl": 20 }
```

**With location-accurate pricing**

```json
{ "asins": ["B07CMS5Q6P"], "zipCode": "90210" }
```

***

}
```

#### Review aspects

`aspects` carries Amazon's own AI-extracted review themes with mention counts across the
**entire** review corpus — a sentiment breakdown over tens of thousands of reviews,
without scraping a single review body. Useful for product research and competitor
comparison.

***

### Zip-code accurate pricing

Pass `zipCode` and the Actor performs Amazon's real delivery-location flow before
scraping, so prices, delivery dates and stock reflect that location.

```json
{ "asins": ["B07CMS5Q6P"], "zipCode": "10001" }
```

Every returned row carries `deliveryLocation` so you can prove which location a price
came from, and `deliveryDate` — Amazon's delivery estimate **for that zip code**. Change
the zip and both move. Location setup is charged **once per run** regardless of how many
products you scrape.

***

### Pricing

| Event | Price | When |
|---|---|---|
| `result` | **$0.002** | per product returned |
| `locationSetup` | **$0.02** | once per run, only if `zipCode` is set |

- No minimum charge.
- Not-found products are never charged.
- Blocked requests and retries are never charged.

```
50 products, no location      50 x $0.002            = $0.10
50 products, with zip code    50 x $0.002 + $0.02    = $0.12
```

***

### Use cases

- **Price monitoring** — track competitor prices per region with zip-code accuracy.
- **MAP compliance** — verify resellers honour minimum advertised price in each market.
- **Dropshipping and arbitrage** — check live prices and stock before listing.
- **Market research** — compare ratings, review distribution, Best Sellers Rank and review aspects across a category.
- **Demand estimation** — `bestsellerRanks` plus `boughtInPastMonth` are the inputs sales-estimate models are built on.
- **Logistics and delivery SLAs** — `deliveryDate` per zip code, for comparing fulfilment speed by region.
- **Catalogue enrichment** — fill in titles, brands, images and features from ASINs.
- **AI agents and RAG** — feed structured, typed product data to an LLM pipeline.

### Calling from code

**API — start a run and wait for results**

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/smart_albatross~amazon-product-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"asins":["B07CMS5Q6P"],"zipCode":"10001"}'
```

**JavaScript**

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

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_TOKEN' });
const run = await client.actor('smart_albatross/amazon-product-scraper').call({
  asins: ['B07CMS5Q6P', 'B07L4BM851'],
  zipCode: '10001',
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items[0].price.value);
```

**Python**

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("smart_albatross/amazon-product-scraper").call(
    run_input={"search": ["wireless gaming mouse"], "maxItemsPerStartUrl": 20}
)
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["asin"], item["price"]["value"], item["stars"])
```

***

### For AI agents and automated callers

Deterministic contract, in one place:

- **Actor ID:** `smart_albatross/amazon-product-scraper`
- **Required input:** at least one of `asins` (`string[]`), `urls` (`string[]`), `search` (`string[]`)
- **Mutually exclusive:** `zipCode` and `countryCode`. Supplying both fails fast, before any network cost.
- **Output:** one dataset item per product, schema exactly as the Output reference table.
- **Never returns:** partial rows without an `asin`, or a numeric `0` standing in for an unknown price.
- **Run summary:** written to the key-value store under `RUN_SUMMARY` as
  `{ requested, ok, notfound, blocked, charged, locationCharged, blockRate, transport }`.
- **Failure semantics:** a single unavailable ASIN never fails the run. The Actor exits `0`
  with partial results, and `RUN_SUMMARY` reports what happened.
- **Idempotency:** same input, same marketplace and same zip code yield the same rows,
  except for values Amazon itself changes (price, stock, review counts).

Distinguishing the three "no data" cases:

| Case | Row returned? | Signal |
|---|---|---|
| Product exists, no current offer | yes | `price.value` is `null`, `inStock` is `false` |
| ASIN does not exist / wrong marketplace | no | counted in `RUN_SUMMARY.notfound` |
| Amazon blocked the request after retries | no | counted in `RUN_SUMMARY.blocked` |

***

### Limits and behaviour

- Search paginates through Amazon's result pages until `maxItemsPerStartUrl` is reached,
  the results stop changing, or 20 pages are read — whichever comes first. Amazon serves
  roughly 30–60 organic results per page, so a request for 500 reads about 10 pages.
- Sponsored placements and availability vary by marketplace and location; results reflect
  the live page at scrape time.
- `price.value` is `null` — never `0` — when Amazon shows no offer.
- Transport retries blocked requests on a fresh session and reports `blockRate` in
  `RUN_SUMMARY`. Retries are not billed.

***

### FAQ

**Do I need an Amazon API key?**
No. The Actor reads publicly accessible product pages.

**Does it need an Amazon account or login?**
No. It never logs in, and never asks for credentials or session cookies.

**Can I get prices for a specific city or zip code?**
Yes — that is the point. Pass `zipCode` and every row reports the `deliveryLocation` its
price came from.

**Why is `price.value` null for some products?**
Amazon shows no offer for that item — it is unavailable, delisted, or not sold in the
selected marketplace. Returning `0` would assert the product is free, so `null` is used
instead. The row still carries title, rating, review count and aspects.

**Does it scrape review text?**
No. It returns review **counts** and Amazon's aggregated review **aspects**. It does not
return individual review bodies.

**Which marketplaces are supported?**
Fifteen, listed in the Input reference. The proxy country is matched automatically.

**What happens if one ASIN fails?**
Nothing else is affected. The run completes, returns every other product, and records the
failure in `RUN_SUMMARY`.
