## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

# README

## Jumia Product Scraper

Collect public product records from supported Jumia country storefronts by keyword search, category URL, or direct product URL. The Actor uses an ordinary Chromium browser without fingerprint or automation-signal manipulation.

Supported storefront codes are `ng`, `ke`, `gh`, `eg`, `ma`, `tn`, `ci`, `sn`, `cm`, and `ug`. Direct URLs must match the selected country host. `maxItems` is an upper bound: finite pages, filters, deduplication, and source availability may produce fewer rows.

### Input

- `mode`: `search`, `productUrl`, or `categoryUrl`.
- `searchQuery`: required in search mode.
- `country`: storefront code; defaults to `ng`.
- `startUrls`: required in direct modes; up to 100 country-matching HTTPS URLs.
- `priceMin` / `priceMax`: optional non-negative storefront-currency filters; zero disables a bound.
- `sortBy`: relevance, popularity, price ascending/descending, or rating.
- `maxItems`: 1–200 successful rows.
- `maxPages`: 1–20 listing pages.
- `proxyConfiguration`: optional fixed Apify proxy settings; invalid configuration fails closed.

```json
{"mode":"search","searchQuery":"samsung phone","country":"ng","maxItems":5,"maxPages":2}
```

### Output

The default dataset contains successful product rows only. Product name, parsed/displayed price, ISO currency code, canonical Jumia URL, storefront, source, HTTP status, truth flags, and browser/proxy provenance are required. Optional source fields are omitted when not published; absence of a badge is not reported as a fabricated `false`, and availability is not guessed.

`OUTPUT` distinguishes `SUCCESS`, `PARTIAL`, `NO_RESULTS`, and `FAILED`, with requested bounds, saved/page/failure counts, and transport provenance. All-page failures exit nonzero; zero-result accessible pages do not create placeholders.

Development: `npm ci`, `npm test`, `npm run lint`, `npx apify-cli validate-schema`, then `node validate-datasets.js <file|directory|->`.

Respect Jumia's terms and applicable consumer, privacy, and data-protection law.

# Actor input Schema

## `mode` (type: `string`):

Choose keyword search, direct product URLs, or a category/listing URL.

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

Required in search mode.

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

Jumia storefront used for search and URL validation.

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Required for direct modes; host must match the selected country.

## `priceMin` (type: `number`):

Optional lower price bound in storefront currency; zero disables it.

## `priceMax` (type: `number`):

Zero disables the upper filter.

## `sortBy` (type: `string`):

Sort order sent to Jumia listing pages.

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

Upper bound, not an exact-count promise.

## `maxPages` (type: `integer`):

Bounded listing-page limit for search and category modes.

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

Optional fixed Apify proxy settings; invalid settings fail closed.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "mode": "search",
  "searchQuery": "samsung phone",
  "country": "ng",
  "priceMin": 0,
  "priceMax": 0,
  "sortBy": "",
  "maxItems": 50,
  "maxPages": 5
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `dataset` (type: `string`):

Successful product rows only.

## `runSummary` (type: `string`):

Completion counts and diagnostics.

# 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 = {
    "searchQuery": "samsung phone"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("codingfrontend/jumia-product-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}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "searchQuery": "samsung phone" }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("codingfrontend/jumia-product-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "searchQuery": "samsung phone"
}' |
apify call codingfrontend/jumia-product-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,codingfrontend/jumia-product-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
