## 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`).

### Category / Department ID Guide

`cat_id` is optional. Leave it empty to search across all categories.

> **Terminology differs by market**
>
> - **CA (walmart.ca)**: The filter is labeled **"Category"**
> - **US (walmart.com)**: The filter is labeled **"Departments"**
>
> Apply the filter on the Walmart website, then copy the `catId` value from the URL.

#### Finding the ID on walmart.ca

```
https://www.walmart.ca/en/search?q=galaxy+watch&catId=10007
                                                       ^^^^^
                                                       Copy this into cat_id
```

Subcategories join IDs with `_`:

```
https://www.walmart.ca/en/search?q=galaxy+watch&catId=10007_20127_6000199028437_6000199028444
                                                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                                                       Copy the entire string into cat_id
```

| Example `cat_id` | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `""` (empty) | All categories |
| `"10007"` | Electronics |
| `"10007_20127"` | Electronics > Smart Home & Security |

#### Finding the ID on walmart.com

```
https://www.walmart.com/search?q=galaxy+watch&catId=3944
                                                     ^^^^
                                                     Copy this into cat_id
```

| Example `cat_id` | Meaning |

### Benchmarking Beyond Walmart

Walmart prices don't exist in a vacuum. If you're using this data for pricing decisions, you likely need to know what the same product costs elsewhere.

#### Resale market — [eBay Search Scraper](https://apify.com/crw/ebay-search-scraper)

Walmart shows you the retail floor. eBay shows you what buyers actually pay in the open market — including used, refurbished, and hard-to-find items that Walmart doesn't carry.

| | Walmart Products Scraper | eBay Search Scraper |
|---|---|---|
| **Pricing** | Fixed retail price, rollback deals | Auction, Buy It Now, Best Offer |
| **Condition** | New only | New, used, refurbished, parts |
| **Best for** | Retail benchmarking, inventory tracking | Resale margin analysis, collectibles |

#### Supply-side pricing — [Temu Products Scraper](https://apify.com/crw/temu-products-scraper)

Curious why certain products are cheaper on Temu than Walmart? Pull Temu listings by the same keyword for a direct price comparison.

# 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 = {
    "market": "US",
    "keyword": "wireless earbuds",
    "cat_id": "",
    "sort": "best_match",
    "max_items": 40
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("crw/walmart-products-scraper").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}`);

## MCP server setup

```json

        }
    }
}
```

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).
