## 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

## PlayStation Store Scraper — Prices & Regions

**Get PlayStation Store game prices, discounts and metadata for any title — and compare the same game's price across countries side by side.** Localized price strings plus numeric values and ISO currency codes. No API key.

The PS Store is a client-rendered SPA with no clean public API, so simple HTTP scrapers come back empty. This actor runs a **real headless browser** and intercepts the store's own GraphQL responses, returning exactly what a shopper sees — robust to DOM redesigns.

### What you get

One row per product × region:

- **Identity** — `productId`, `name`, `conceptId`, `npTitleId`, `type`, `platforms`, `publisher`, `releaseDate`
- **Localized price** — `basePrice` / `discountedPrice` display strings (`$69.99`, `£69.99`, `2.799,00 TL`)
- **Numeric price** — `basePriceValue`, `discountedPriceValue` (major currency units) + ISO `currency`
- **Discounts** — `discountText`, `discountEndTime`
- **Flags** — `isFree`, `isExclusive`, `isTiedToSubscription`
- **Media & link** — cover `image`, product `url`

### Cross-region price comparison — the killer use case

PlayStation product IDs are **region-locked** (US `UP9000-…`, EU `EP9000-…`), so a US product id doesn't exist on the UK store. Pass the game's **concept id** — a single global number (e.g. `10002456` for Marvel's Spider-Man 2, from any `…/concept/<number>` URL) — and the actor resolves each region's own product automatically. One comparable row per region for the same title.

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `productIds` | array | **required** | Concept ids (`"10002456"`), region product ids (`"UP9000-PPSA03016_00-MARVELSPIDERMAN2"`), or full product/concept URLs. Use **concept ids** for cross-region comparison |
| `regions` | array | `["en-us"]` | Store locales, e.g. `en-us`, `en-gb`, `tr-tr`, `ja-jp`, `de-de` |
| `maxConcurrency` | integer | `5` | Parallel browser pages (1–20) |
| `useApifyProxy` | boolean | `true` | Route the browser through Apify Proxy |
| `debug` | boolean | `false` | Dump captured responses / screenshot to the key-value store |

### Example input

```json
{
  "productIds": ["10002456"],
  "regions": ["en-us", "en-gb", "tr-tr"]
}
```

### Output sample

```json
{
  "productId": "UP9000-PPSA03016_00-MARVELSPIDERMAN2",
  "region": "en-us",
  "url": "https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP9000-PPSA03016_00-MARVELSPIDERMAN2",
  "name": "Marvel's Spider-Man 2",
  "conceptId": "10002456",
  "npTitleId": "PPSA03016_00",
  "platforms": ["PS5"],
  "basePrice": "$69.99",
  "basePriceValue": 69.99,
  "discountedPrice": "$69.99",
  "discountedPriceValue": 69.99,
  "currency": "USD",
  "discountText": null,
  "discountEndTime": null,
  "isFree": false,
  "isTiedToSubscription": false,
  "image": "https://image.api.playstation.com/vulcan/ap/rnd/.../cover.jpg"
}
```

Same game in three regions returns three rows — `en-us` `$69.99`, `en-gb` `£69.99`, `tr-tr` `2.799,00 TL` — each with `currency` and numeric values for easy comparison.

### Why this actor

- **It actually returns data** — a real browser reads the store's GraphQL, where HTTP scrapers get empty pages.
- **Cross-region comparison built in** — concept-id resolution gives one comparable row per country.
- **Both string and numeric prices** — display the localized string, compute on the numeric value.
- **Discount-aware** — captures active sales, discount text and end time.

### Pricing

Pay per result — **$5.00 per 1,000 results**. Higher than metadata-only actors because it runs a real browser (heavier compute). One result = one product × region.

### Related actors

- **Steam Scraper** — Steam game prices and metadata.
- **Nintendo eShop Scraper** — multi-region eShop prices.
- **App Store Scraper** — Apple App Store apps and pricing.

### Notes & limitations

- **Region availability:** if a game isn't sold in a requested region, that region is skipped with a warning (no row). Concept ids maximize coverage.
- **Product ids are region-specific:** pass a concept id to compare across regions; a raw product id only returns data in its own region.
- Prices reflect the store's current listing (any active sale is captured).
- This actor is an independent tool, not affiliated with or endorsed by Sony Interactive Entertainment.

# Actor input Schema

## `productIds` (type: `array`):

What to look up. For CROSS-REGION price comparison use a numeric CONCEPT id (e.g. "10002456") or a /concept/<id> URL — it resolves to each region's own product automatically. You can also pass a region-specific product id (e.g. "UP9000-PPSA03016\_00-MARVELSPIDERMAN2") or a full product URL, but those only exist in their own region.

## `regions` (type: `array`):

Store locales to fetch each product in — for price comparison. Examples: "en-us", "en-gb", "tr-tr", "ja-jp", "de-de", "en-ro". Default: en-us.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

How many browser pages to run in parallel.

## `useApifyProxy` (type: `boolean`):

Route the browser through Apify Proxy (recommended to avoid blocks / geo issues).

## `debug` (type: `boolean`):

Dump captured GraphQL responses, page HTML and a screenshot to the key-value store (for troubleshooting).

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "productIds": [
    "10002456"

  "debug": false
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config.
