## 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.

### 💻 Integrations

#### Python

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN")

run = client.actor("silentflow/backmarket-scraper").call(run_input={
    "searchText": "iPhone 16",
    "country": "fr",
    "pages": 3,
})

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(f"[{item['condition']}] {item['title']}, {item['price']} {item['currency']} (save {item['savingsPercent']}%)")
```

#### JavaScript

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('silentflow/backmarket-scraper').call({
    searchText: 'iPhone 16',
    country: 'fr',
    pages: 3,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach(item => {
    console.log(`[${item.condition}] ${item.title}, ${item.price} ${item.currency} (save ${item.savingsPercent}%)`);
});
```

### 📈 Performance & limits

| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| Speed (standard mode) | ~24 products/second |
| Speed (browse mode) | ~3 products/second |
| Max results | 2,400 per run |
| Countries supported | 14 |
| Pagination | Automatic |

### 💡 Tips for best results

1. **Use the URL approach**: Set all your filters on Back Market first, then copy the URL, this gives you the most control over results
2. **Start small**: Test with `pages: 1` before scaling up to validate your filters
3. **Standard mode first**: Only enable `browseMode` if you specifically need seller info, description, or storage, it's 8x slower
4. **Country is auto-detected**: When using a `searchUrl`, you don't need to set the country separately, it's read from the URL domain
5. **Be specific**: "iPhone 15 Pro 256GB" works better than just "iPhone"

### ❓ FAQ

**Q: How do I filter by condition, price, or brand?**
A: You can use the input parameters (`conditions`, `priceFrom`, `priceTo`, `brand`) or set your filters directly on Back Market's website, then copy the URL and use it as `searchUrl`.

**Q: Which countries are supported?**
A: All 14 Back Market marketplaces: US, France, Germany, UK, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Austria, Portugal, Ireland, Finland, Sweden, and Japan.

**Q: What is browse mode?**
A: Browse mode visits each product's individual page to fetch additional data: description, storage, carrier, SIM type, seller name and rating, shipping price, and delivery time. It's slower but returns more complete data.

**Q: What happens if a page returns no results?**
A: The scraper automatically moves to the next page. Empty pages don't count toward your usage.
