## 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.

### Cost estimate

Running this actor with default settings (20 results, residential proxy) costs approximately:

- **Compute**: ~0.05 USD (Playwright browser, ~1-2 minutes)
- **Proxy**: ~0.10-0.30 USD (Swiss residential proxy traffic)
- **Total**: ~0.15-0.35 USD per run

Larger runs with more results will cost proportionally more due to additional proxy traffic.

### Tips for best results

- **Use Swiss residential proxies** for the most reliable results. Moneyland.ch is a Swiss site and may filter non-Swiss traffic.
- **Start with a specific category** rather than a broad search to get the most structured data.
- **Keep maxResults reasonable** (20-50) for faster runs and lower proxy costs.
- **Savings and mortgages** categories typically yield the most structured numeric data (interest rates).
- **Check debug data** if a run returns zero results. The actor saves the page HTML and a screenshot to the key-value store for troubleshooting.

### FAQ

**Does this scraper require a Moneyland account?**
No. All comparison data on Moneyland.ch is publicly available without registration or login.

**What languages does the scraper support?**
The scraper targets the English version of Moneyland.ch (/en/) for consistency. The same comparison data is available in German and French on the site.

**How often is Moneyland data updated?**
Moneyland.ch updates its comparison data regularly. Interest rates and insurance premiums are typically updated when providers change their offers. Run the scraper periodically to capture the latest rates.

**Can I scrape specific providers only?**
Use the `searchQuery` parameter with a provider name (e.g. "UBS", "Raiffeisen", "CSS") to filter results to a specific institution.

**Why might a run return zero results?**
Moneyland uses interactive comparison tools that require form parameters. The scraper attempts to trigger results automatically, but some comparison pages may need specific input combinations. Check the debug HTML and screenshot in the key-value store. Try using Swiss residential proxies if you suspect blocking.

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).
