## 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.

### Faire Wholesale Product Scraper

**Scrape wholesale products from Faire by search term, collecting up to a million products per run.** Each product row includes pricing, brand info, and inventory signals. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Faire's wholesale marketplace is built for bulk browsing, not bulk exporting. Manually copying product lists across hundreds of searches wastes hours. This actor searches Faire by your product terms and returns each matching product in one flat dataset.

| Who uses it | What they scrape Faire for |
|---|---|
| Dropshippers | Building a product catalog from trending wholesale goods. |
| E-commerce store owners | Finding new inventory to stock from verified Faire brands. |
| Market researchers | Tracking what wholesale products competitors are listing. |
| Product sourcers | Pulling bulk product lists for price comparison across brands. |

### What it does

This Actor searches Faire for wholesale products by keyword and returns each product as a row with its listed details.

- 🔍 **Keyword search:** scrapes Faire's product feed for each search term you provide, like "ceramic mugs" or "soy candles".
- ⚙️ **Volume control:** set a hard cap from 1 up to 1,000,000 products per run to stay within your data budget.
- 📦 **Flat row output:** each product arrives as one row, ready for your spreadsheet or database.

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

### What you can do with Faire data

**🛍️ Fill a store catalog.**

An e-commerce owner searches for "home decor" and "kitchen gadgets" to gather hundreds of product ideas with wholesale pricing in minutes.

**📊 Monitor market trends.**

A market researcher runs weekly searches on a list of product terms to spot which categories are gaining new listings.

**🔎 Source for margins.**

A product sourcer scrapes "leather bags" across multiple searches to compare price ranges and find the best wholesale deals.

**🧪 Test niche demand.**

A dropshipper searches a list of niche terms like "bamboo toothbrushes" to see how many wholesale offers exist before committing to inventory.

### Why choose this scraper

| | What you get |
|---|---|
| **Bulk search** | Run multiple keyword searches in one job and get all results merged. |
| **Fixed schema** | Every product row follows the same structure, so your spreadsheets stay clean. |
| **No manual copying** | The actor reads the public product feed, so you skip the copy/paste grind. |

### How it compares

Three other scrapers target Faire product data, each covering a different slice of the marketplace: brand details, scored product trends, or single-URL product pages.

| Feature | ParseForge | Faire Brand Scraper | Wholesale Trends Product Finder | Faire Product Scraper |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Keyword search across the marketplace | Yes | Not listed | Not listed | Not listed |
| Collects product-level data | Yes | Not listed | Yes | Yes |
| Bulk feeds up to 1M products | Yes | Not listed | Not listed | Not listed |
| Brand social accounts and similar brands | Not listed | Yes | Not listed | Not listed |
| Product viability scoring (review velocity, restock signals) | Not listed | Not listed | Yes | Not listed |
| Single product URL scraping | Not listed | Not listed | Yes | Yes |

### Configure the run

Drive the Actor with a list of product search terms. The max items limit stops the run after the number of products you set. The Input tab lists every parameter.

A first run with the defaults:

```json
{
 "searchTerms": [
 "candles"
 ],
 "maxItems": 10
}
```

A larger pull:

```json
{
 "searchTerms": [
 "candles"
 ],
 "maxItems": 200
}
```

### Pricing

Pay-per-result: **$0.004 per result** collected. You pay only for the results written to your dataset.

| Results collected | Approximate cost |
|---|---|
| 100 results | $0.40 |
| 1,000 results | $4.00 |
| 10,000 results | $40.00 |

New Apify accounts start with $5 in free credit.

### Free users

Free-plan runs return up to 10 results as a preview. [Upgrade your Apify plan](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=vmoqkp) to collect up to 1,000,000 results per run.

### Run it

1. [Create a free Apify account with $5 in credit](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=vmoqkp).
2. Open the [Faire Wholesale Product Scraper](https://apify.com/parseforge/faire-scraper?fpr=vmoqkp).
3. Set your inputs and any filters, then click **Start**.
4. Export the results as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML from the **Dataset** tab.

Run it programmatically through the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) (`run-sync-get-dataset-items`) or the [ApifyClient](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js) for JavaScript and Python.

### Use with AI agents (MCP)

Give an AI agent live access to Faire 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/faire-scraper"
```

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

### Troubleshooting

**Why am I getting no results for a search term?**

Check the spelling of your search term. Try the same term directly on Faire.com. If the site shows results, the actor will typically find them too, though occasional feed differences can occur.

**The run stopped before my max items limit.**

Faire may have shown fewer products than your cap for those search terms. The actor stops when there are no more products to load for your queries.

**Some product fields are empty in my output.**

Empty fields mean the product listing on Faire did not supply that data. This is common for optional fields like variant-specific pricing or promotional badges.

**The actor is taking a long time to finish.**

Large max item counts across many search terms will increase run time. Reduce your max items or the number of search terms for faster test runs.

### FAQ

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Can I scrape Faire without an account? | Yes. This actor reads the publicly accessible product feed for your search terms. No Faire login or API key is needed. |
| How do I search for multiple products at once? | Add each search term to the search terms list in the input. The actor will run each query and merge the results into one dataset. |
| What data comes back for each product? | The dataset includes the product fields shown in your sample output from the scratch run. You can preview the full data fields on the actor's test console. |
| Does this respect Faire's rate limits? | The actor runs with built-in, reasonable request pacing to avoid flooding the site. It will not bypass any technical restrictions. |
| Can I filter by price or brand? | The actor searches by keyword and collects matching products. Post-collection, you can filter by any returned field in your CSV or JSON tool. |
| Is this the same as the Faire API? | No. Faire does not offer a public API for wholesale product search. This actor reads the product feed you see when you search the marketplace. |
| What output formats do I get? | Your dataset can be downloaded as CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML from the Apify run page. |
| How many products can I get per search? | You set a maximum items limit per run, up to 1,000,000. The actor will stop when it hits that number or runs out of matching products. |
| What if my search term has no results? | The actor will return an empty dataset for that term and move on to the next one in your list. Your run will still complete. |
