## 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

## AppSumo Deal Scraper

Extract AppSumo lifetime deals, pricing, and product data. Monitor new deals, track pricing changes, and research the SaaS market without an API.

### What it does

Fetches live deals from the AppSumo browse catalog and returns clean, structured JSON for each deal — product name, tagline, price, original price, discount percent, ratings, review count, codes remaining, start/end dates, features, and the full product URL.

Perfect for:

- **Lifetime deal trackers** — alert on new deals or price changes
- **SaaS researchers** — understand what tools are being discounted and how deeply
- **Competitor monitoring** — track what AppSumo is promoting this week
- **Affiliate sites & newsletters** — build deal feeds without babysitting a scraper

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `category` | string | `""` | Optional category slug (e.g. `marketing`, `seo`, `ai`, `productivity`, `wordpress`). Leave empty for all. |
| `maxItems` | integer | `50` | Maximum number of deals to scrape (1–1000) |
| `includeExpired` | boolean | `false` | Include ended/inactive deals |

Example:

```json
{
  "category": "marketing",
  "maxItems": 100,
  "includeExpired": false
}
```

### Output

Each record:

```json
{
  "id": 254644,
  "deal_name": "Stackable",
  "slug": "stackable",
  "tagline": "Build stunning WordPress pages with custom blocks",
  "price": 69,
  "original_price": 109,
  "discount_percent": 37,
  "currency": "USD",
  "category": "WordPress",
  "subcategory": "Page Builder",
  "rating": "4.87",
  "review_count": 53,
  "is_active": true,
  "has_started": true,
  "has_ended": false,
  "codes_remaining": 5744,
  "start_date": "2026-04-08T08:01:00Z",
  "end_date": "2026-04-15T23:59:59Z",
  "featured_image": "https://appsumo2-cdn.appsumo.com/...",
  "product_logo": "https://appsumo2-cdn.appsumo.com/...",
  "deal_url": "https://appsumo.com/products/stackable/",
  "features": ["44 custom blocks", "Page builder-like options", "..."]
}
```

### How it works

The scraper hits AppSumo's public catalog API directly — no headless browser, no Cloudflare dance. Fast, cheap, and reliable.

### Notes

- Respects rate limits with a short delay between requests.
- Returns only currently active deals by default. Set `includeExpired: true` to also get ended deals.
- Data is sourced from AppSumo's public browse endpoint and is intended for research and monitoring.

# 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 = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("cryptosignals/appsumo-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 = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("cryptosignals/appsumo-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 '{}' |
apify call cryptosignals/appsumo-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

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