## 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

## Vivino Scraper

Scrapes wine data from vivino.com: name, vintage, winery, region, community rating, review count, and a merchant offer with price.

### Why use this actor?

Vivino aggregates ratings from millions of users and prices from dozens of wine merchants, but there's no official public API for buyers who want that data in bulk. This actor pulls it directly from Vivino's own search backend — useful for wine retailers tracking competitor pricing, for building a rating-based wine recommender, or for market research on which regions/varietals are trending by rating volume.

### How to scrape Vivino data

1. Set a `searchQuery` (a wine name, grape variety, region, or winery — e.g. `"chateau margaux"`, `"rioja"`, `"chardonnay"`) or leave it blank and set `wineType`/`minRating`/price filters instead to browse without a keyword.
2. Optionally filter by `wineType` (red, white, rosé, sparkling, dessert, fortified), `minRating` (1-5), and a price range.
3. Pick a `marketCountry` to control which currency prices are shown in.
4. Run the actor. Each result is one wine vintage with its current rating and a merchant price.

The actor talks directly to Vivino's `/api/explore/explore` JSON endpoint (the same one the vivino.com search page itself calls) rather than parsing rendered HTML, so results are clean and fast.

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|--------------|
| `searchQuery` | String | No | Wine, grape, region, or winery to search for. Leave blank (with no other filters) to fall back to a default search. Leave blank while setting other filters to browse by those filters alone — this field has no schema default on purpose, so it never silently narrows a filter-only search. |
| `wineType` | String | No | `red`, `white`, `rose`, `sparkling`, `dessert`, `fortified`, or blank for any |
| `marketCountry` | String | No | ISO country code controlling currency (default `BE` → EUR) |
| `minRating` | Integer | No | Minimum Vivino rating, 1-5 scale (default `1`, i.e. no filter) |
| `minPrice` | Integer | No | Minimum price in the market country's currency (default `0`) |
| `maxPrice` | Integer | No | Maximum price in the market country's currency (default `1000`) |
| `sortBy` | String | No | `rating_desc` (default), `rating_asc`, `price_asc`, `price_desc` |
| `maxResults` | Integer | No | Maximum wines to return, hard-capped at 2000 (default `50`) |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Apify Proxy settings (automatic works — see Limitations) |

### Output

Each result contains:

| Field | Type | Example |

| `wineName` | String | `"Cabernet Sauvignon"` |
| `vintageName` | String | `"Terre di Rai Cabernet Sauvignon 2025"` |
| `vintageYear` | Integer or null | `2025` |
| `winery` | String or null | `"Terre di Rai"` |
| `region` | String or null | `"delle Venezie"` |
| `country` | String or null | `"Italy"` |
| `wineType` | String or null | `"Red"` |
| `rating` | Number or null | `3.4` |
| `ratingCount` | Integer or null | `128` |
| `price` | Number or null | `24.99` |
| `currency` | String or null | `"EUR"` |
| `originalPrice` | Number or null | `29.99` |
| `discountPercent` | Number or null | `17` |
| `bottleVolumeMl` | Integer or null | `750` |
| `merchantId` | Integer or null | `34978` |
| `merchantUrl` | String or null | Outbound link to buy at that merchant |
| `available` | Boolean or null | `true` |
| `imageUrl` | String or null | Bottle/label image URL |
| `wineUrl` | String | Canonical vivino.com wine page |
| `scrapedAt` | String | ISO 8601 timestamp |
| `searchQuery` | String or null | Input echo |

### Cost estimate

This actor uses approximately **0.5-1 compute unit per 1,000 results** — it's a lightweight JSON API scraper with no browser rendering. At standard Apify pricing that's a few cents per 1,000 wines, well under the actor's own per-result price. Usage cost only settles once a run reports **SUCCEEDED** — reading a dataset mid-run will show a cost far below the real total.

### Limitations

- Each result carries **one merchant's price**, not a full cross-retailer comparison — Vivino's search endpoint returns a single representative offer per wine, not every merchant carrying it.
- Grape variety composition isn't returned by the search endpoint used here (only available from the site's per-wine detail page, which this actor doesn't fetch to keep runs fast and single-request-per-result).
- No anti-bot wall was found on this endpoint during recon (plain HTTPS, no cookies/session, automatic Apify Proxy works fine at normal volume). If you run very high volumes and start seeing block/rate-limit warnings in the run log, switch `proxyConfiguration` to a Residential proxy group.
- Data is scraped from the public website and may change without notice.
- Respect vivino.com's terms of service and use responsibly.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQuery` (type: `string`):

Wine, grape, region, or winery to search for, e.g. "chateau margaux" or "rioja". Leave blank together with all other filters to fall back to a default search ("cabernet sauvignon"). Leave blank while setting other filters below (wine type, rating, price) to browse by those filters alone instead — deliberately has no schema default, so it never silently ANDs a keyword into a filter-only search.

## `wineType` (type: `string`):

Filter by wine type. Leave as "Any" for no filter.

## `marketCountry` (type: `string`):

Controls which currency prices are shown in (each country maps to its own currency, e.g. BE/FR/DE → EUR, GB → GBP, CH → CHF).

## `minRating` (type: `integer`):

Only return wines rated at least this high, on Vivino's 1-5 scale.

## `minPrice` (type: `integer`):

Only return wines priced at or above this amount, in the market country's currency.

## `maxPrice` (type: `integer`):

Only return wines priced at or below this amount, in the market country's currency.

## `sortBy` (type: `string`):

Order results by rating or price.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of wines to return. Hard-capped at 2000 per run.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

No anti-bot found on vivino.com's public API during recon (Aug 2026) — automatic Apify Proxy works. Switch to Residential only if you start seeing block/rate-limit warnings in the run log at high volume.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "wineType": "",
  "marketCountry": "BE",
  "minRating": 1,
  "minPrice": 0,
  "maxPrice": 1000,
  "sortBy": "rating_desc",
  "maxResults": 50,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"

```

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).
