## 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

## KaBuM! Scraper — Brazilian PC Hardware & Electronics Price Data

Extract structured product data from **[KaBuM!](https://www.kabum.com.br)**, Brazil's largest PC hardware and electronics e-commerce store. Search any keyword or scrape entire categories and get clean JSON/CSV/Excel with prices (including the **PIX cash-payment price**), discounts, availability, ratings and product URLs.

Ideal for **price monitoring, market intelligence, dropshipping research, affiliate marketing and e-commerce analytics** in the Brazilian market (LATAM).

### What data does it extract?

For every product:

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `productId` | KaBuM! product code |
| `name` | Full product title |
| `manufacturer` | Brand (e.g. ASUS, Kingston, AMD) |
| `priceBRL` | Regular price in Brazilian Reais |
| `pricePixBRL` | Discounted PIX/cash price (usually ~10% lower) |
| `oldPriceBRL` | Previous price (for discount tracking) |
| `discountPercentage` | Current discount |
| `installmentText` | Installment plan offered |
| `available` | In stock or not |
| `rating` / `ratingCount` | Customer review score and volume |
| `isOffer` / `offerEndsAt` | Whether it's a flash deal and when it ends |
| `image` | Product image URL |
| `url` | Direct product page URL |

### Why scrape KaBuM!?

- **Largest PC hardware retailer in Brazil** — GPUs, CPUs, SSDs, peripherals, consoles and full builds.
- **PIX pricing** — Brazilian e-commerce has a unique dual-price system (card vs. PIX instant payment). This scraper captures both, which most generic tools miss.
- **Flash deals culture** — KaBuM! runs aggressive limited-time offers. Track them programmatically.

### How to use

1. Enter one or more **search terms** (e.g. `rtx 4060`, `ssd nvme 1tb`, `ryzen 7`) — or paste full **category URLs**.
2. Set the **max items per query** and sorting (lowest price, biggest discount, etc.).
3. Run. Export results as **JSON, CSV or Excel**, or consume them via the **Apify API** in your own app.

#### Example input

```json
{
    "searchTerms": ["rtx 4060", "ryzen 5 5600"],
    "maxItemsPerQuery": 100,
    "sortBy": "lowest_price"
}
````

#### Example output item

```json
{
    "productId": 472521,
    "name": "Placa de Vídeo RTX 4060 Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce Windforce OC, 8GB GDDR6",
    "manufacturer": "Gigabyte",
    "priceBRL": 2599.99,
    "pricePixBRL": 2339.99,
    "discountPercentage": 10,
    "available": true,
    "rating": 4.8,
    "ratingCount": 156,
    "url": "https://www.kabum.com.br/produto/472521/...",
    "source": "kabum.com.br"
}
```

### Integrations & API

Like every Apify Actor, this scraper is instantly available as an **HTTP API endpoint** — schedule it, connect it to Make/Zapier/n8n, push results to Google Sheets, or call it from Python/Node with the Apify client.

### Use cases

- **Price history & drop alerts** for Brazilian hardware deals
- **Competitor monitoring** for sellers and distributors operating in Brazil
- **Affiliate deal channels** — detect real discounts vs. fake markdowns
- **Market research** on the LATAM electronics market

### Pricing

Pay-per-event: a small flat fee per run start plus a fee per scraped product. You only pay for what you get. Set a max budget per run in Apify Console — the Actor stops gracefully at your limit.

### Roadmap

- Pichau and Terabyte scrapers (sister Actors)
- Product detail page enrichment (full specs, seller info)
- Price comparison aggregator across Brazilian hardware stores

# Actor input Schema

## `searchTerms` (type: `array`):

List of search queries to scrape, e.g. 'rtx 4060', 'ssd nvme 1tb'. Each term is searched independently.

## `categoryUrls` (type: `array`):

## `maxItemsPerQuery` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of products to return for each search term or category URL.
