🛍️ Retail & Ecommerce Innovation Intelligence Database API

Query pre-analyzed, historical, and market-moving retail intelligence events, backed by a constantly updating AI-scraping pipeline.

Note: This Actor doesn't force you to wait for live web scraping! We execute the heavy AI sentiment analysis natively on our backend databases every day utilizing LLMs and un-blockable scrapers. By utilizing this Actor, you are querying deeply enriched and verified ecommerce metrics.

🚀 Why Use This Database?

When you run this Actor in SEARCH_ARTICLES mode, you instantly gain access to data fields that a standard RSS feed cannot provide:

• 💲 Brand Extraction: Automatically identifies retail brands, software, and ecommerce entities mentioned (e.g., "Amazon", "Shopify", "Walmart").
• 💯 Innovation Impact Score (0-100): Instantly filter noise. Know if an event is a "General Update" (15/100) or an "Industry Shifting Trend" (95/100).
• 📈 Sentiment Analysis: Immediate Bullish / Bearish / Neutral classification tied to the article.

🛠️ Usage & Configuration

Because we handle the infrastructure, API keys, proxies, and LLM processing on our end, your setup is extremely straightforward.

💰 Pricing & Monetization

This Actor uses a clear Pay-Per-Event model, which gives you complete predictability. Instead of charging for vague "scrape compute time," you only pay when valuable data hits your dataset.

• Primary Event (article-summary): You are charged $0.01 directly for every successfully fetched AI-analyzed article you query.
• Note: You do NOT burn money on HTTP 403s, proxy failures, or "hallucinating" LLMs, because we've already handled the risk in our daily database background schedules. You are strictly paying for the clean data payload.
