## 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.

### 💡 Best Practices & Proxy Guidance

- **Geo-Location**: PrizePicks operates under North American DFS regulations and utilizes Cloudflare edge protection that restricts non-US/Canada IP connections.
- **Recommended Proxy**: On Apify Console, configure **Apify Residential Proxy** (`country_code="US"`) in the `proxyConfiguration` parameter.

# Actor input Schema

## `leagues` (type: `array`):

List of sports/leagues to scrape (e.g. NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, WNBA, CFB, CBB, PGA, SOCCER, CS2, VALORANT, LOL, MMA, TENNIS, etc.). Leave empty to scrape all active sports.

## `statTypes` (type: `array`):

Filter by stat categories (e.g., 'Points', 'Rebounds', 'Assists', 'Strikeouts', 'Pass Yards', 'Goals', 'Kills'). Case-insensitive substring match.

## `players` (type: `array`):

Filter by specific player names or name fragments (e.g. \['LeBron James', 'Patrick Mahomes', 's1mple']).

## `teams` (type: `array`):

Filter by team abbreviations (e.g. \['LAL', 'BOS', 'KC', 'DET']).

## `oddsTypes` (type: `array`):

Filter by projection line type: 'standard', 'demon' (boosted payout / higher threshold), 'goblin' (easier threshold / lower payout).

## `singleStat` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, queries standard single stat projections.

## `promoOnly` (type: `boolean`):

Filter only discounted promo lines, flash sales, and special board boosts.

## `directUrls` (type: `array`):

Custom PrizePicks API URLs to query directly.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of player projection records to extract.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Apify Proxy Configuration. PrizePicks blocks non-US/datacenter IPs via Cloudflare; using Apify Residential Proxy (US) is strongly recommended.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call wyle/prizepicks-player-props --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,wyle/prizepicks-player-props"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
