## 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`).

# README

## Amazon Scraper — Products, Prices & Reviews (No API Key)

Scrape Amazon product data by search keyword or by ASIN, across **12 Amazon country stores**. Returns title, price, rating, review count, image, Prime badge and availability as structured JSON — no Amazon Associates account, no Product Advertising API credentials, no login.

### What it does

Give it a search query (`searchQuery`) or a list of ASINs (`asin`), pick a country store, and it returns one dataset row per product. That's it — there is nothing to configure beyond the input below.

- **Keyword search** — any search term, up to 100 products per run
- **Direct ASIN lookup** — pass one or many ASINs and get the product detail data for each
- **12 country stores** — US, UK, DE, FR, IT, ES, CA, JP, IN, AU, BR, MX
- **Structured output** — JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or RSS via the Apify dataset export
- **Schedulable** — run it on a schedule to track price and rating changes over time

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `searchQuery` | string | one of the two | — | Search term to find products (e.g. `wireless headphones`). Provide this **or** `asin`. |
| `asin` | array of strings | one of the two | — | One or more Amazon Standard Identification Numbers to scrape directly. Provide this **or** `searchQuery`. |
| `country` | string | no | `US` | Which Amazon country store to scrape: `US`, `UK`, `DE`, `FR`, `IT`, `ES`, `CA`, `JP`, `IN`, `AU`, `BR`, `MX`. |
| `maxItems` | integer | no | `5` | Maximum number of products to return (1–100). Higher numbers increase cost. |
| `residentialFallback` | boolean | no | `true` | Allow one automatic retry over an alternate proxy pool when the first attempt is blocked. Leave on unless you specifically want to stay on the default pool. |

If neither `searchQuery` nor `asin` is supplied, the run fails immediately with a clear status message rather than burning time or credit.

#### Example — search

```json
{
    "searchQuery": "wireless noise cancelling headphones",
    "country": "US",
    "maxItems": 20
}
```

#### Example — specific ASINs

```json
{
    "asin": ["B09HG1Q3BJ", "B0CX23V2ZK"],
    "country": "UK"
}
```

### Output

One dataset item per product:

```json
{
    "asin": "B0CX23V2ZK",
    "title": "Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones",
    "price": 328.0,
    "rating": 4.4,
    "reviewCount": 12043,
    "url": "https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CX23V2ZK",
    "imageUrl": "https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61vJtKbAssL._AC_SL1500_.jpg",
    "isPrime": true,
    "availability": "In Stock",
    "source": "search"
}
```

| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `asin` | string | Amazon Standard Identification Number |
| `title` | string | null | Product title |
| `price` | number | null | Numeric price in the country store's currency; `null` when Amazon shows no price |
| `rating` | number | null | Average star rating |
| `reviewCount` | integer | null | Number of customer ratings |
| `url` | string | Canonical product URL on the selected country domain |
| `imageUrl` | string | null | Product image |
| `isPrime` | boolean | Prime badge present |
| `availability` | string | null | Availability text as shown by Amazon |
| `source` | string | `search` for search results, `detail` for ASIN lookups |

### Using it from code

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")

run = client.actor("cryptosignals/amazon-scraper").call(run_input={
    "searchQuery": "mechanical keyboard",
    "country": "US",
    "maxItems": 25,
})

for product in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(product["asin"], product["title"], product["price"])
```

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

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('cryptosignals/amazon-scraper').call({
    asin: ['B09HG1Q3BJ'],
    country: 'DE',
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);
```

### For AI agents

The Actor is a single-purpose tool: **input** = a query or ASIN list plus a country, **output** = a flat list of product records with the fields in the table above. It takes no credentials and holds no state between runs, so it is safe to call directly from an agent loop or as an MCP tool via Apify's Actor integration. Keep `maxItems` at the smallest value that answers the question — every returned result is billed.

### Typical uses

- **Price monitoring** — schedule a run per ASIN list and track `price` over time
- **Competitor research** — pull the top N results for a keyword and compare ratings and review counts
- **Product sourcing** — screen candidate products by rating and review volume before committing
- **Market comparison** — run the same query against several `country` values to compare pricing across regions

### Pricing

This Actor uses Apify's **pay-per-event** model and charges per result returned. The current per-result price and any free tier are shown on the **Pricing** tab of this Actor's Store page — that page is the authoritative figure, so this README deliberately does not repeat a number that could go stale. Cost scales linearly with `maxItems`.

### Limits and expected behaviour

- `maxItems` is capped at 100 per run. For larger volumes, split the work into several runs (for example, one per keyword or per ASIN batch).
- Amazon does not expose every field on every listing. Missing fields come back as `null` rather than being omitted, so downstream schemas stay stable.
- Amazon actively rate-limits automated traffic. The Actor retries blocked requests, but a run against an unusually hot query can still return fewer items than requested; it reports what it actually delivered in the run log.
- Only publicly visible product data is collected. No logins, no customer data, no personal information.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQuery` (type: `string`):

Search term to find products on Amazon (e.g. 'wireless headphones'). Provide either this or an ASIN.

## `asin` (type: `array`):

One or more Amazon Standard Identification Numbers (ASINs) to scrape directly. Provide either this or a search query.

## `country` (type: `string`):

Which Amazon country store to scrape.

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

Maximum number of products to return. Higher numbers increase cost.

## `residentialFallback` (type: `boolean`):

When page 1 is fully blocked on the default datacenter pool, retry the search once over the account's alternate static-US proxy pool (StaticUS3) if that group is available for this run's identity. Callers without that group (Apify Store QA, origin=TEST / LIMITED_PERMISSIONS) skip the retry and keep the existing 0-result Amazon-block failure. Disable to stay on the default pool only. (Key name kept for backward compatibility with saved inputs.)

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "searchQuery": "water bottle",
  "country": "US",
  "maxItems": 5,
  "residentialFallback": true

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).
