## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Prom.ua Price Search

Search **Prom.ua** — Ukraine's biggest marketplace of independent sellers — by keyword and get clean, structured JSON product listings: title, price in UAH, seller, brand, availability, SKU, image and product URL.

The actor reads the schema.org Product data embedded in Prom's search pages, so it is lightweight and fast, and results arrive in the same relevance order a shopper sees on the site.

### What can I use it for?

- **Price monitoring & repricing** — Prom hosts tens of thousands of small sellers; this is where Ukrainian long-tail pricing lives.
- **E-commerce analytics** — build datasets of the Ukrainian market across thousands of independent shops.
- **Competitor tracking** — see which sellers rank for your key product queries and at what price.
- **Assortment research** — brand, SKU and availability come straight from the sellers' structured data.

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `query` | string | yes | – | Search query, as you would type it into Prom's search box. Ukrainian or English, e.g. `OPI лак`. |
| `maxItems` | integer | no | `10` | Max listings to return (1–50), in relevance order. |
| `minPrice` | integer | no | – | Drop listings cheaper than this (UAH). |
| `maxPrice` | integer | no | – | Drop listings more expensive than this (UAH). |
| `useApifyProxy` | boolean | no | `true` | Route via Apify datacenter proxy. Keep ON on the platform. |

Example input:

```json
{
  "query": "OPI лак",
  "maxItems": 10,
  "minPrice": 200
}
````

### Output

One dataset item per product listing. Real sample item (live run, July 2026):

```json
{
  "marketplace": "prom",
  "title": "Гель-лак для нігтів O. P. I. Infinite Shine Gel Lacquer",
  "price": 550,
  "currency": "UAH",
  "url": "https://prom.ua/ua/m4183654955938314747-gel-lak-dlya.html",
  "sellerName": "BARBARA",
  "brand": "OPI",
  "rating": null,
  "reviewCount": null,
  "imageUrl": "https://images.prom.ua/1527923639_w200_h200_gel-lak-dlya-nogtej.jpg",
  "availability": "InStock",
  "sku": null,
  "position": 2
}
```

Field notes:

- `price` — UAH major units (currency taken from the seller's structured data, effectively always `UAH`).
- `availability` — schema.org value without the URL prefix, e.g. `InStock`, `OutOfStock`.
- `position` — 1-based relevance rank for the query. Duplicate URLs are de-duplicated.
- Listings without a price are skipped automatically.

### Usage

**Apify API (run synchronously, get items back):**

```bash
curl -s -X POST \
  "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/xidik_inc~prom-price-search/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "OPI лак", "maxItems": 10}'
```

**Apify CLI:**

```bash
apify call xidik_inc/prom-price-search --input '{"query": "OPI лак", "maxItems": 10}'
```

**JavaScript (apify-client):**

```js
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('xidik_inc/prom-price-search').call({
  query: 'OPI лак',
  maxItems: 10,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
```

### Pricing

Pay per result: **$1.50 per 1,000 listings** (a `search-result` event is charged per dataset item). Runs that return 0 items cost you nothing beyond standard platform usage.

### Honest limits

- **`rating` and `reviewCount` are always `null`** — Prom's search pages do not expose ratings in their structured data, and the actor does not visit each product page (that is what keeps it fast and cheap).
- Sellers occasionally publish incomplete structured data — `brand` or `sku` can be `null`.
- The actor relies on Prom's public search pages, an **unofficial** data source. Markup can change without notice; this actor is used in production by MiyZapis PriceWatch and is **actively maintained** — breakages get fixed fast.
- The datacenter proxy (default ON) is required on the platform: Prom serves a bot-protection page to unproxied datacenter IPs. The actor detects it and retries with a fresh session automatically.

# Actor input Schema

## `query` (type: `string`):

Product search query, exactly as you would type it into the Prom.ua search box. Ukrainian or English both work, e.g. <code>OPI лак</code> or <code>OPI nail polish</code>. Specific product queries (brand + product type) return the most relevant listings.

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

Maximum number of product listings to return (1–50). Results keep Prom.ua's relevance order, so the first items are the best matches. You are only charged for items actually returned.

## `minPrice` (type: `integer`):

Optional lower price bound. Listings cheaper than this are dropped (UAH, major units — e.g. <code>200</code> means 200 ₴).

## `maxPrice` (type: `integer`):

Optional upper price bound. Listings more expensive than this are dropped (UAH, major units — e.g. <code>2000</code> means 2000 ₴).

## `useApifyProxy` (type: `boolean`):

Route requests through Apify datacenter proxy. Keep this ON when running on the Apify platform — Prom.ua serves a bot-protection page to unproxied datacenter IPs. Disable only for local runs from an allowed IP.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "query": "OPI nail polish",
  "maxItems": 10,
  "minPrice": 200,
  "maxPrice": 2000,
  "useApifyProxy": true
}
```
