## 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.

### ASC Global MRO Parts Scraper

**Scrape MRO parts from ASC Global by keyword or part number, up to a million per run.** Each part comes with its provider, inventory, and pricing details. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

ASC Global's MRO parts catalog is spread across thousands of provider pages, and there is no public API for bulk access. This Actor reads the public search results directly, filtered by your search term or exact part number, and returns each match in one fixed schema.

| Who uses it | What they scrape ASC Global for |
|---|---|
| Procurement managers | Compare MRO part availability and pricing across providers |
| Maintenance planners | Find replacement parts for industrial equipment |
| Data analysts | Build a dataset of MRO parts for spend analysis |
| E-commerce managers | Monitor competitor pricing on MRO parts |

### What it does

This Actor collects MRO parts from ASC Global by keyword or part number, and returns each one as a flat row with provider, inventory, and pricing details.

- 🔍 **Keyword search:** enter a term like 'relay' or 'capacitor' to get all matching parts.
- 🎯 **Part number lookup:** enter an exact part number like 'G6AK-274P-ST-US-DC12' to find that specific part.
- 📊 **Provider limit:** set maxItems to control how many providers are collected per run, up to 1,000,000.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

### What you can do with ASC Global data

**📈 Monitor MRO part pricing.**

A procurement analyst runs the Actor daily with a list of part numbers to track price changes across providers and negotiate better contracts.

**🔧 Find replacement parts.**

A maintenance planner searches by keyword like 'motor' to quickly locate available parts and their providers for urgent repairs.

**📊 Build a parts database.**

A data engineer runs the Actor with broad keywords to collect thousands of parts into a dataset for spend analysis and inventory optimization.

**🛒 Compare provider inventory.**

An e-commerce manager uses the Actor to see which providers have stock for specific parts, informing sourcing decisions.

| | ASC Global MRO Parts Scraper | Build it in-house | By hand |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setup | Run it now, zero config | Days of engineering | None, but hours per pull |
| When ASC Global changes | Maintained for you | You fix it | You re-learn the page |
| Proxies, retries, anti-bot | Built in | Your problem | Browser only |
| Output | Fixed JSON schema, CSV/Excel export | Whatever you build | Copy-paste |
| Cost | Pay per result | Engineering time | Analyst hours |

### Configure the run

Drive the Actor with a search query or a specific part number, and set a maximum number of providers to collect per run. The Input tab lists every parameter.

A first run with the defaults:

```json
{
  "searchQuery": "relay",
  "maxItems": 10
}
```

A larger pull:

```json
{
  "searchQuery": "relay",
  "maxItems": 200
}
```

### Pricing

Pay-per-result: **$0.006 per result** collected. You pay only for the results written to your dataset.

| Results collected | Approximate cost |
|---|---|

| 1,000 results | $6.00 |
| 10,000 results | $60.00 |

1. [Create a free Apify account with $5 in credit](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=vmoqkp).
2. Open the [ASC Global MRO Parts Scraper](https://apify.com/parseforge/asc-global-mro-scraper?fpr=vmoqkp).

### Use with AI agents (MCP)

Give an AI agent live access to ASC Global through the Model Context Protocol. Add the Actor to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=parseforge/asc-global-mro-scraper"
```

Then prompt it in plain language to run the scraper and read back the results.

### Troubleshooting

**Why am I getting no results?**

Check that your searchQuery or partNumber is spelled correctly. Try a broader keyword or remove the partNumber to see if any results appear.

**The Actor is timing out.**

Reduce the maxItems value or narrow your search query. The website may be slow, so try running at a different time.

**I get an error about invalid input.**

Ensure maxItems is an integer between 1 and 1,000,000. Also check that searchQuery and partNumber are strings.

**The data looks incomplete.**

The website may have changed its layout. Contact support with a sample URL and expected data so we can update the scraper.
