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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Mercado Livre Crawler An [Apify](https://apify.com) actor that searches [Mercado Livre](https://www.mercadolivre.com.br) by keyword and returns product listings filtered by a maximum price. ### What it does 1. Takes a search query and a max price (BRL) as input 2. Fetches the Mercado Livre search results page 3. Parses product name, price, and URL from the listings 4. Returns only products at or below the specified max price ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Default | Description | |-------|------|----------|---------|-------------| | `searchQuery` | string | Yes | — | Word or phrase to search on Mercado Livre | | `maxPrice` | integer | Yes | `500000` | Maximum price in BRL | | `proxySettings` | object | No | — | Apify proxy configuration (residential recommended) | #### Example input ```json { "searchQuery": "iphone 15", "maxPrice": 500000, "proxySettings": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } } ```` ### Output Each result is pushed to the default dataset with the following fields: ```json { "name": "Apple iPhone 15 (128 GB) - Preto", "price": 4299.0, "url": "https://www.mercadolivre.com.br/..." } ``` ### Pricing This actor uses Apify's pay-per-event model: **$2.00 per 1,000 results** ($0.002 per product scraped) ### Running locally ```bash ## Install dependencies pip install -r requirements.txt ## Run via Apify CLI apify run ``` ### Tech stack - **Python 3.12+** - **Apify SDK** — actor lifecycle, proxy management, dataset storage - **Requests** — HTTP fetching - **Beautiful Soup 4** — HTML parsing ### License ISC # Actor input Schema ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Word or phrase to search on Mercado Livre ## `maxPrice` (type: `integer`): Maximum price in BRL. Only products at or below this price will be returned. ## `proxySettings` (type: `object`): Select proxies to avoid blocking. Residential proxies are recommended. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQuery": "iphone 15", "maxPrice": 500000, "proxySettings": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "searchQuery": "iphone 15", "proxySettings": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("stoix_dev/mercado-livre-crawler").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
