## Pricing

from $2.00 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

## 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

## 🇦🇷 Argentina Economic Indicators: Dólar Blue/MEP/CCL, Inflación IPC y BCRA

One run gives you Argentina's key economic numbers in a single clean dataset that you can export as JSON, CSV or Excel or pull through the API. The data comes **only from official or open public APIs**. No scraping of private sites.

### What you get

| Section | Data | Source |
|---|---|---|
| `dolar` | USD oficial, blue, bolsa (MEP), contado con liqui (CCL), mayorista, cripto, tarjeta. Buy, sell, and **% gap vs. official rate** | dolarapi.com |
| `inflacion` | IPC Nacional (INDEC): index, **monthly %** and **year-over-year %** | apis.datos.gob.ar (Gobierno de Argentina) |
| `bcra` | Central Bank "Principales Variables": reserves, A3500, BADLAR, monetary base and more, or any IDs you choose | api.bcra.gob.ar (official) |

### Input

- **sections**: any of `dolar`, `inflacion`, `bcra`. Default is all three.
- **inflationMonths**: 1–120. Default 12.
- **bcraVariableIds**: optional list of BCRA IDs. Leave it empty to get all main variables.

### Output example

```json
{"section":"dolar","indicator":"USD Blue","date":"2026-10-15T14:00:00.000Z","buy":1490,"sell":1510,"value":1510,"unit":"ARS","gapVsOfficialPct":-1.63,"source":"dolarapi.com","scrapedAt":"..."}
```

A `SUMMARY` record in the key-value store lists the item count and any errors. If one source fails, the others still return data.

### Use cases

Pricing in dollars, financial dashboards, Google Sheets and Looker reports, accounting tools, chatbots and AI agents that need up-to-date Argentine data. You can schedule it daily or hourly.

### Pricing (pay per event)

- **Actor start**: small fixed fee per run.
- **Result item**: charged per dataset row. A full default run is about 50 items.
  You only pay for the data you get. Set a maximum cost per run in Apify to stay in control.

### 🇪🇸 En español

Con una sola ejecución tenés el **dólar** (oficial, blue, MEP, CCL, cripto, tarjeta, con brecha %), la **inflación IPC del INDEC** (mensual e interanual) y las **principales variables del BCRA**, todo en un dataset que podés bajar en Excel, CSV o JSON o consultar por API. Usa solo fuentes oficiales o públicas. Lo podés programar para que se ejecute todos los días.
Cobro por evento: una tarifa chica por ejecución más un monto por cada fila de resultado (unas 50 filas en una ejecución completa).

# 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 = {
    "sections": [
        "dolar",
        "inflacion",
        "bcra"
    ],
    "bcraVariableIds": []
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("tuneup_argentina/argentina-indicadores").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 = {
    "sections": [
        "dolar",
        "inflacion",
        "bcra",
    ],
    "bcraVariableIds": [],
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("tuneup_argentina/argentina-indicadores").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 '{

    "inflacion",
    "bcra"

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,tuneup_argentina/argentina-indicadores"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
