## 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

### What does Blinkit Delivery Coverage Checker do?

Blinkit Delivery Coverage Checker tells you, for each Indian pincode or city you enter, whether Blinkit delivers there, which Blinkit store serves it, the resolved address and the delivery time Blinkit promises.

Enter a list of pincodes, pick cities, or both, and the actor returns one row per location in one run.

Typical uses:

- map where Blinkit delivers across a list of pincodes, for expansion or distribution planning
- check coverage before running price or stock scrapes for a location
- track Blinkit's promised delivery times by area over time with an Apify schedule
- find the store (merchant) ID that serves a location

### What data does it return?

| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `serviceable` | Whether Blinkit delivers to the location |
| `eta_in_minutes`, `title` | The promised delivery time, for example "Delivery in 8 minutes" |
| `merchant_id` | The main Blinkit store serving the location |
| `merchants` | Stores Blinkit reports for the location, with their business types |
| `entries` | Delivery times by store and delivery type |
| `city`, `locality`, `location_info` | The resolved city, locality and full address |
| `latitude`, `longitude` | The point the pincode resolved to |
| `input_pincode`, `input_city` | The location the row came from |

### How to check Blinkit delivery coverage

1. Enter pincodes, one per line, and/or pick cities from the list.
2. Click **Start**.
3. Download the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it through the Apify API.

### Input example

```json
{
  "pincodes": ["560102", "400050", "122002"],
  "cities": ["Delhi"]
}
```

This checks 4 locations in one run.

### Output example

```json
{
  "input_pincode": "560102",
  "serviceable": true,
  "eta_in_minutes": 8,
  "title": "Delivery in 8 minutes",
  "merchant_id": "40589",
  "merchants": [
    { "id": "35940", "business_types": ["instant"] }
  ],
  "entries": [
    { "merchant_id": "42814", "type": "pharma_pharmacist", "eta_minutes": 10 }
  ],
  "city": "Bengaluru",
  "locality": "HSR Layout",
  "location_info": {
    "formatted_address": "4th Cross Rd, Sector 5, HSR Layout, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560102, India",
    "postal_code": "560102",
    "state": "Karnataka",
    "country": "India"
  },
  "latitude": 12.911862,
  "longitude": 77.6445923,
  "resolution": "pincode_representative_point"
}
```

### How much does it cost?

$0.003 per run plus $0.004 per location checked, which is $4 per 1,000 locations. There is no separate charge for Apify compute.

- 100 pincodes: $0.40
- 1,000 pincodes: $4.00

A location that fails adds no row and is not charged. You can cap the cost of a run with Apify's maximum charge setting; the actor stops when it is reached.

### Locations: pincodes and cities

A pincode resolves to one point inside it; coverage and delivery time are checked for that point, so the edges of a large pincode can differ. Each city in the list uses one central pincode that Blinkit serves:

| City | Pincode | City | Pincode |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delhi | 110001 | Ahmedabad | 380015 |
| Mumbai | 400050 | Gurugram | 122002 |
| Bengaluru | 560001 | Noida | 201301 |
| Hyderabad | 500081 | Jaipur | 302001 |
| Chennai | 600017 | Lucknow | 226010 |
| Kolkata | 700019 | Chandigarh | 160017 |
| Pune | 411001 | Indore | 452001 |

### FAQ

#### Is this an official Blinkit API?

No. It is an independent tool that reads the delivery information Blinkit shows publicly to any visitor for an address. It needs no Blinkit account, login, cookies or proxies.

#### Does it return store names or addresses?

No. Blinkit reports store (merchant) IDs and their business types, not store names or physical addresses.

#### Does one pincode cover the whole area?

No. A pincode resolves to one representative point. For a large pincode, check several nearby pincodes to see where coverage changes.

#### Can I check Blinkit coverage automatically?

Yes. Schedule the actor in Apify to track coverage and delivery times over time, call it from any language through the Apify API, or use Apify's integrations.

# Actor input Schema

## `pincodes` (type: `array`):

Six-digit Indian delivery pincodes. Each resolves to one point in that pincode, so nearby stores and prices can differ within it.

## `cities` (type: `array`):

Or pick cities. Each uses one central pincode Blinkit serves (listed in the README); use Pincodes for exact areas.

## `maxWaitSeconds` (type: `integer`):

How long to wait for each scrape before counting it as failed.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "pincodes": [
    "560102",
    "110001"
  ],
  "maxWaitSeconds": 300
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

One row per result, each tagged with the input it came from (input\_\* fields).

## `failures` (type: `string`):

Jobs that failed and were not charged, with the reason. Present only when a job failed.

# 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 = {
    "pincodes": [
        "560102",

## MCP server setup

            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,upscrape/blinkit-delivery-coverage-checker"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
