## 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

## Akakce Scraper

Scrape product prices, merchant offers, and comparison data from Akakce.com — Turkey's largest price comparison engine with 20M+ monthly visits, aggregating prices from hundreds of Turkish online retailers.

### How to scrape Akakce data

Akakce is Turkey's leading price comparison platform, aggregating product prices from hundreds of online retailers. This actor lets you extract structured product and pricing data from Akakce search results, category pages, and individual product pages without any login or cookies.

1. Go to the actor's input page.
2. Enter a search query (e.g., "laptop", "iPhone 16", "kulaklık") or provide a category URL.
3. Set the maximum number of results you want.
4. Optionally enable "Include Merchant Offers" to get all individual store prices for each product.
5. Click "Start" and wait for the run to finish.
6. Download your data in JSON, CSV, or Excel format.

The actor searches Akakce just like a regular user would, extracts product data from search results and product pages, and returns clean, structured data ready for analysis.

### Features

- Search by keyword across all Akakce product categories
- Browse specific category pages for targeted scraping
- Extract lowest and highest prices across all merchants
- Get individual merchant offers with store names, prices, and links
- Extract brands, ratings, review counts, and number of offers
- Automatic pagination to collect large result sets
- Multi-strategy extraction: JSON-LD structured data and DOM fallback
- No cookies or login required
- Residential proxy support for reliable access with Turkish IP

### Input options

| Field | Type | Description | Default |
|-------|------|-------------|---------|
| `searchQuery` | String | Product search term (e.g., "laptop", "kulaklık") | `"laptop"` |
| `categoryUrl` | String | Optional Akakce category URL to scrape directly | — |
| `maxResults` | Integer | Maximum number of products to return (1–10,000) | `100` |
| `includeOffers` | Boolean | Visit product pages to extract all merchant offers | `false` |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Object | Proxy settings — Turkish residential proxies recommended | TR residential |

#### Example input

```json
{
    "searchQuery": "laptop",
    "maxResults": 50,
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true,
        "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
        "apifyProxyCountry": "TR"
    }
}
```

#### Scraping a specific category

You can also scrape a specific Akakce category page by providing the `categoryUrl` instead of a search query:

```json
{
    "categoryUrl": "https://www.akakce.com/laptop-notebook.html",
    "maxResults": 200
}
```

#### Getting merchant offers

Enable `includeOffers` to visit each product page and extract all individual merchant prices. This is slower but gives you full price comparison data:

```json
{
    "searchQuery": "iPhone 16",
    "includeOffers": true,
    "maxResults": 20
}
```

### Output fields

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `productName` | String | Full product name |
| `category` | String | Product category from Akakce |
| `lowestPrice` | Number | Lowest price across all merchants (TRY) |
| `highestPrice` | Number | Highest price across all merchants (TRY) |
| `currency` | String | Currency code (TRY) |
| `numberOfOffers` | Integer | Number of merchants with this product |
| `brand` | String | Brand or manufacturer |
| `imageUrl` | String | Product image URL |
| `url` | String | Full Akakce product page URL |
| `merchants` | Array | Individual merchant offers (when `includeOffers` is enabled) |
| `rating` | Number | Average product rating (0–5 scale) |
| `reviewCount` | Integer | Number of user ratings of the product on Akakçe |
| `scrapedAt` | String | ISO 8601 timestamp of when the data was collected |

#### Merchant offer fields

When `includeOffers` is enabled, each item in the `merchants` array contains:

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `merchantName` | String | Store/retailer name |
| `price` | Number | Price offered by this merchant (TRY) |
| `merchantUrl` | String | Link to the product on the merchant's site |
| `merchantRating` | Number | The store's rating on Akakçe (0-10), when shown |
| `merchantReviewCount` | Integer | Number of Akakçe reviews of the store, when shown |

            "price": 43500,
            "merchantUrl": "https://www.akakce.com/r.php?..."
        },
        {
            "merchantName": "Amazon TR",
            "price": 44990,
            "merchantUrl": "https://www.akakce.com/r.php?..."
        }
    ],

    "reviewCount": 128,
    "scrapedAt": "2026-06-09T14:30:00.000Z"
}
```

### Cost estimate

Akakce serves its product list in plain HTML, so the actor reads it over HTTP without a browser.

- Listing-only mode: one request per 32-52 products, so ~100 results costs about $0.01-0.03 in platform costs.
- `includeOffers: true` adds one request per product, so the cost per result is roughly 30x the listing-only cost. Ask for it only when you need the per-merchant prices.
- Residential proxy traffic adds to the cost depending on data transfer.
- A run's usage cost only settles after the run reports SUCCEEDED. Reading the figure mid-run undercounts it.

For most use cases, a single run costs well under $1.00.

### Limitations

- Akakce may rate-limit aggressive scraping — use Turkish residential proxies for best results.
- Product availability and pricing data reflects what Akakce shows at the time of scraping. Prices change frequently.
- Very broad search queries may return many results across categories. Use specific queries or category URLs for focused data.
- The HTML structure of Akakce may change without notice, which could temporarily affect data extraction.
- Merchant offer extraction requires visiting individual product pages, which is slower than listing-only mode.
- Pagination is capped at `ceil(maxResults / 10) + 5` listing pages per run. Raise `maxResults` to go deeper.
- A search that Akakce answers with "hiç ürün bulunamadı" finishes successfully with zero items and says so in the run's status message. Zero items is a result here, not an error.

### Tips for best results

- **Use specific queries** — "Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra" works better than "telefon"
- **Use category URLs** — for comprehensive category scraping, provide the category URL directly
- **Use Turkish proxies** — Turkish residential proxies give the most reliable results
- **Start small** — test with `maxResults: 10` before running large scrapes
- **Enable merchant offers selectively** — only use `includeOffers: true` when you need individual store prices

### Use cases

- **Price monitoring** — track product prices across Turkish online retailers
- **Competitive analysis** — compare your prices against marketplace aggregated data
- **Market research** — analyze product availability and pricing trends in the Turkish market
- **Price intelligence** — get the full price spread from cheapest to most expensive merchant
- **Retail analytics** — monitor which merchants carry which products and at what prices
- **Data enrichment** — enhance product databases with up-to-date Turkish pricing

# Actor input Schema

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

Search term to find products on Akakce (e.g., 'laptop', 'iPhone 16', 'kulaklık'). If empty, defaults to 'laptop'.

## `categoryUrl` (type: `string`):

Optional: an Akakce category page URL to scrape instead of searching. Example: https://www.akakce.com/laptop-notebook.html

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of products to return.

## `includeOffers` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, visits each product detail page to extract all individual merchant offers (name, price, URL). Slower but gives full price comparison data.

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

Proxy settings. Residential proxies with Turkish IP are recommended for best results.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "searchQuery": "laptop",
  "maxResults": 5,
  "includeOffers": false,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
