## 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`).

### HUAWEI AppGallery Scraper

**Scrape HUAWEI AppGallery apps by keyword, app ID, or package name, up to a million per run.** Every app comes with its metadata, ratings, install signals, and region-specific details. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

HUAWEI AppGallery has no public API for app data, and manual collection is slow. This Actor reads the public app listings directly, filtered by region and locale, and returns each match in one fixed schema. It covers Europe, Singapore, Russia, and China, so you can compare catalogs across markets.

| Who uses it | What they scrape HUAWEI AppGallery for |
|---|---|
| ASO specialists | Track keyword rankings and app metadata for HUAWEI AppGallery optimization |
| Market researchers | Compare app catalogs and trends across Europe, Singapore, Russia, and China |
| App developers | Monitor competitor apps and their ratings, installs, and updates |
| Data analysts | Build datasets of app metadata for reporting and insights |

### What it does

This Actor collects HUAWEI AppGallery app listings by keyword search, app ID, or package name, and returns each app as a flat row with metadata, ratings, and install signals.

- 🔍 **Keyword search:** Find apps by name or keyword, like 'game', 'social', or 'music'.
- 🆔 **App ID lookup:** Get a specific app by its HUAWEI AppGallery ID, like 'C100315379'.
- 📦 **Package name lookup:** Retrieve an app by its Android package name, like 'com.zhiliaoapp.musically'.
- 🌍 **Region and locale:** Choose from Europe, Singapore, Russia, or China, and set the locale for descriptions.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

### Run it

1. [Create a free Apify account with $5 in credit](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=vmoqkp).
2. Open the [HUAWEI AppGallery Scraper](https://apify.com/parseforge/huawei-app-gallery-scraper?fpr=vmoqkp).
3. Set your inputs and any filters, then click **Start**.
4. Export the results as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML from the **Dataset** tab.

Run it programmatically through the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) (`run-sync-get-dataset-items`) or the [ApifyClient](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js) for JavaScript and Python.

### Use with AI agents (MCP)

Give an AI agent live access to HUAWEI AppGallery through the Model Context Protocol. Add the Actor to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=parseforge/huawei-app-gallery-scraper"
```

Then prompt it in plain language to run the scraper and read back the results.

### Troubleshooting

**Why am I getting no results?**

Check that you provided a valid searchQuery, appId, or packageName. Also ensure the region and locale are correct for the app you are looking for.

**Why are some fields empty?**

Not all apps have every field. HUAWEI AppGallery may not provide certain metadata for some apps or regions.

**Why is the run slow?**

Large maxItems values or many requests can slow the run. Reduce maxItems or narrow your search.

**Why do I get an error about conflicting inputs?**

Use only one of searchQuery, appId, or packageName. The Actor does not support combining them.

### FAQ
