## 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.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).

# README

## OfferUp Scraper (Apify Actor)

Scrape [OfferUp.com](https://offerup.com) classifieds by keyword, with filters
for location, radius, category, condition, price range, delivery type and sort
order. Optional detail-page enrichment pulls full description, seller info,
GPS, and all photos.

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `query` | string (required) | — | Search keywords |
| `location` | string | — | City, state, or ZIP. Leave blank to use whatever location OfferUp infers from the proxy's IP. |
| `radius` | int (0–200) | — | Miles around `location` |
| `categoryId` | string | — | Optional numeric category ID |
| `minPrice` / `maxPrice` | int | — | Price range (USD) |
| `condition` | enum | `any` | `new` / `used` / `refurbished` / `for_parts` |
| `delivery` | enum | `any` | `local` / `shipping` |
| `sort` | enum | `relevant` | `relevant` / `new` / `price_asc` / `price_desc` |
| `maxPages` | int (1–50) | `1` | Search pages to fetch |
| `includeDetails` | bool | `false` | Per-item detail page fetch |
| `maxListings` | int | `0` | Hard cap on items pushed |
| `impersonate` | enum | `chrome124` | curl\_cffi TLS profile |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | RESIDENTIAL (US) | Proxy settings |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "query": "macbook pro",
  "location": "Seattle, WA",
  "radius": 50,
  "minPrice": 400,
  "maxPrice": 1500,
  "condition": "used",
  "delivery": "local",
  "sort": "new",
  "maxPages": 3,
  "includeDetails": true,
  "maxListings": 100,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "US"
  }
}
```

### Output

#### Search-only item

```json
{
  "id": "1234567890",
  "title": "MacBook Pro 14\" M3 Pro 18GB 1TB — Mint Condition",

# Actor input Schema

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

What to search for on OfferUp.

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

Optional location to centre the search on. Examples: 'Seattle, WA', 'Austin, TX', '98101'. Leave blank to use whatever location OfferUp infers from the IP address (which depends on the proxy region).

## `radius` (type: `integer`):

Distance around the location, in miles. OfferUp supports values up to 200.

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

Optional numeric category ID. Browse OfferUp.com to find the ID in URLs (e.g. /c/electronics → category\_id=2). Leave blank to search across all categories.

## `minPrice` (type: `integer`):

Filter out items priced below this number (USD).

## `maxPrice` (type: `integer`):

Filter out items priced above this number (USD).

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

Item condition filter.

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

Restrict to local pickup or items that ship.

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

How OfferUp orders the results.

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

How many search pages to fetch.

## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

If true, the actor visits each item's detail page to extract the full description, all photos, seller info (name, rating, reviews, join date), GPS coordinates, posted date and views/saves counts. Roughly multiplies runtime by N items.

## `maxListings` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many items have been pushed. 0 = no cap.

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

curl\_cffi TLS / JA3 fingerprint to mimic. OfferUp fingerprints aggressively at the edge; chrome124 works most reliably.

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

Apify Proxy or your own. OfferUp uses DataDome-style bot scoring; US residential proxies are essentially mandatory beyond a few requests. Region also matters — OfferUp localises results to the IP's region.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "query": "iphone 15",
  "location": "Seattle, WA",
  "radius": 25,
  "minPrice": 100,
  "maxPrice": 800,
  "condition": "any",
  "delivery": "any",
  "sort": "new",

// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,moving_beacon-owner1/offerup-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).
