## 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

## ImportYeti Trade Intelligence Scraper

Scrape US import/export trade data from [ImportYeti](https://www.importyeti.com). For each query, returns a list of companies / suppliers with shipment counts, most-recent-shipment date, top trading partners, trademarks, and country of operation.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `query` | string | Company name, supplier name, trademark, or product keyword. Required. |
| `type` | enum | `any`, `company`, or `supplier`. |
| `mostRecentShipment` | enum | `any`, `6mo`, or `12mo` (include only companies active in the window). |
| `minShipments` | integer | Exclude companies with fewer lifetime shipments. |
| `maxResults` | integer | Max records to return (1–1000, 10 per page). |

### Output

Per record:

- `type` = `importyeti_record`
- `name` — company / supplier name
- `recordType` — `company` or `supplier`
- `countryCode` — ISO 2-letter
- `address`
- `totalShipments` — lifetime shipment count
- `mostRecentShipment` — DD/MM/YYYY of latest shipment
- `topSuppliers` — list of the top trading partners (filtered for placeholders)
- `trademarks` — list of associated trademarks (when present)
- `detailUrl` — direct link to the ImportYeti profile page
- `scrapedAt` — ISO timestamp

### How it works

- Hits `https://www.importyeti.com/api/search?q=<query>&page=<N>` (10 results/page).
- Paginates until `maxResults` is reached or no new data appears.
- All filters (`type`, `mostRecentShipment`, `minShipments`) are applied client-side because the public API ignores those parameters.
- `curl_cffi` with Chrome-131 TLS fingerprint; no cookies, no proxy required.

### FAQ

**Do I need a proxy or login?** No.
**Why are the filters applied client-side?** ImportYeti's public search API ignores filter parameters and always returns 10 mixed results per page. The actor fetches more pages than requested and filters down.

# Actor input Schema

## `query` (type: `string`):

Company name, supplier name, trademark, or product keyword.

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

Filter results by record type.

## `mostRecentShipment` (type: `string`):

Only include companies with a shipment within this window.

## `minShipments` (type: `integer`):

Exclude companies with fewer than this many lifetime shipments.

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

Maximum records to return (each page = 10 records).

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "query": "apple",
  "type": "any",
  "mostRecentShipment": "any",
  "minShipments": 0,
  "maxResults": 5
}
```

# 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 = {
    "query": "apple",
    "maxResults": 5
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("crawlerbros/importyeti-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 = {
    "query": "apple",
    "maxResults": 5,
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("crawlerbros/importyeti-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 '{
  "query": "apple",
  "maxResults": 5
}' |
apify call crawlerbros/importyeti-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,crawlerbros/importyeti-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).
