## 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.

## Royal Mint Scraper

The Royal Mint (`royalmint.com`) is the official producer of British coinage, operating for over 1,100 years. Beyond circulation coins, The Royal Mint offers a wide range of collectable coins, commemorative medals, bullion products, and unique gifts — including gold and silver coins, proof sets, and limited-edition releases tied to historical events and cultural milestones.

### Introduction

This Apify scraper extracts structured product data from The Royal Mint website. Given a search results URL or a direct product URL, it collects detailed information including title, price, availability, specifications, images, and ratings — without requiring any account or API key.

### Use Cases

- **Price monitoring**: Track prices of Royal Mint products to spot deals, restocks, or limited releases.
- **Inventory research**: Build datasets of coins and collectibles to support numismatic research or investment decisions.
- **Product cataloguing**: Aggregate Royal Mint listings for comparison platforms or catalogue databases.
- **Market analysis**: Analyse product metadata, categories, and ratings across The Royal Mint's range of collectibles.

### Input

Provide the following fields:

- `startUrls` (array, required): One or more URLs to scrape. Supports:
  - Search result pages: `https://www.royalmint.com/search-results-page?ss360Query=2026`
  - Direct product pages: `https://www.royalmint.com/gifts/sixpence/2026-silver-sixpence/`
- `maxItems` (integer, optional): Maximum number of products to scrape per start URL. Default: `5`.
- `proxyConfiguration` (object, optional): Proxy settings. Defaults to no proxy — The Royal Mint does not require proxies for standard scraping.

### Input Examples

**1) Scrape products matching a keyword**

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.royalmint.com/search-results-page?ss360Query=silver+coin"
    }
  ],
  "maxItems": 20
}
```

**2) Scrape a specific product page directly**

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.royalmint.com/gifts/sixpence/2026-silver-sixpence/" }
  ],
  "maxItems": 1
}
```

**3) Scrape multiple search terms in one run**

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.royalmint.com/search-results-page?ss360Query=gold" },
    {
      "url": "https://www.royalmint.com/search-results-page?ss360Query=commemorative"
    }
  ],
  "maxItems": 10
}
```

### Output

Each dataset item represents one Royal Mint product with fields like:

```json

  "url": "https://www.royalmint.com/gifts/sixpence/2026-silver-sixpence/",

## MCP server setup

            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,lexis-solutions/royalmint-com-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).
