## 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

## Amazon Product Tracker

Track prices, ratings, reviews, and Buy Box information for any Amazon product. No API key required — uses public web scraping.

### Features

- **Price Tracking** — current price with currency detection
- **Rating & Reviews** — star rating and total review count
- **Buy Box** — identifies the buy box seller, FBA status
- **Product Details** — title, brand, availability, key features, main image
- **CAPTCHA Detection** — gracefully handles Amazon's anti-bot pages
- **ASIN Support** — accepts both full URLs and bare ASINs

### Input

```json
{
  "products": [
    "https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08N5WRWNW",
    "B09V3KXJPB",
    "https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CHX1W1XY"
  ]
}
```

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `products` | `array[string]` | `[]` | Amazon product URLs or ASINs |
| `useProxy` | `boolean` | `true` | Use Apify proxy infrastructure |

### Output (Dataset)

Each row contains:

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `asin` | `string` | Amazon ASIN |
| `url` | `string` | Product page URL |
| `title` | `string` | Product title |
| `price` | `number` | Current price |
| `currency` | `string` | Currency code (USD) |
| `rating` | `number` | Average star rating |
| `reviewCount` | `number` | Total reviews |
| `buyBox.seller` | `string` | Buy box seller name |
| `buyBox.fulfilledByAmazon` | `boolean` | FBA indicator |
| `buyBox.shipsFromAmazon` | `boolean` | Ships from Amazon |
| `availability` | `string` | Stock status |
| `brand` | `string` | Brand name |
| `features` | `array[string]` | Feature bullet points |
| `mainImage` | `string` | Primary product image URL |
| `scrapedAt` | `string` | ISO timestamp of scrape |

### Pricing

- **Free tier:** First 5 products
- **Pay-per-result:** $0.005 per product tracked

### Notes

- Amazon may show CAPTCHA pages for high-volume scraping. The actor detects these and reports them.
- Use the Apify proxy setting (`useProxy: true`) for best results.
- Scraping is limited to publicly available product data only.

# Actor input Schema

## `products` (type: `array`):

List of Amazon product URLs or ASINs to track.

## `useProxy` (type: `boolean`):

Whether to use Apify's proxy infrastructure for scraping.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "products": [

  "useProxy": true
}
```

# Actor output Schema

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

Items in the run's dataset.

# 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 = {
    "products": [
        "https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08N5WRWNW"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("velveted_staysail/amazon-product-tracker").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 = { "products": ["https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08N5WRWNW"] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("velveted_staysail/amazon-product-tracker").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 '{
  "products": [
    "https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08N5WRWNW"
  ]
}' |
apify call velveted_staysail/amazon-product-tracker --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,velveted_staysail/amazon-product-tracker"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
