Retail Availability: What published price and stock evidence exists for this product and observed variants?

$0.01 per eligible report max 1 event per run input: product URL build 0.2.4

Question & workflow

Question
What published price and stock evidence exists for this product and observed variants?
What comes back
Published product/variant offers and availability evidence.
Use case
Commerce agents can compare dated offers and refresh availability before recommending a product.

Ideal workflow

  1. Supply one product URL (product_url).
  2. Inspect the Actor for free (metadata, pricing, schemas) — no run, no token.
  3. Get spending authorization for one call capped at $0.01 (maxTotalChargeUsd: 0.01).
  4. Start one run in your own Apify account; save the run ID.
  5. Poll that same run, then read the one-item dataset or the OUTPUT record.
  6. Validate the report against report.schema.json and act on status before using findings.

Input

Retail Availability input fields. Descriptions are verbatim from the Actor’s published input schema (input_schema.json).
Field Type Required Constraints Description
product_url string Required required, string HTTPS URL for one product page, not a collection, search, cart, or account page.
Minimal valid input (the input used for the recorded example)
{
  "product_url": "https://www.allbirds.com/products/mens-tree-runners-wheat-dark-beige"
}

Download input_schema.json — the verbatim Actor input schema. Run limits (build, memory, timeout, maxTotalChargeUsd) are call options, never input fields.

Output

One report per run, written to the run’s default dataset (one item) and to the OUTPUT record of its key-value store. Check status before using any findings.

23 top-level fields, read from report.schema.json (JSON Schema draft-07).

Evidence & limits

Verification scope
Checked product structured data and supported public variant metadata. Product-group and variant offers retain distinct scope.
Coverage limits
Group stock does not prove every variant is available. Missing variant price stays null; regional checkout price and purchase completion are not tested.
Request bounds
3 requests, 4 MB total, 3 MB per page, 20-second network budget.

How sources are acquired, dated, hashed and verified — and the four evidence classes (local fixtures, owner-funded cloud tests, read-only metadata checks, independent customer results) — are on Evidence & methodology.

Price & charge trigger

$0.01 USD per eligible report event · max 1 event per run
PAY_PER_EVENT event: verified-product-check
Event
Verified product check (verified-product-check)
Charge trigger
One event for a verified offer report, even if some variants are missing or out of stock.
No event when
unknown and invalid_input produce no event.
Example cost
One call with maxTotalChargeUsd: 0.01 → at most $0.01 in Actor events.
Platform usage
Standard Actor platform usage included under the configuration checked on 8 Oct 2026; recheck before purchase.
Store text
“Charged once for a source-checked public product price and availability result. Unknown results are free.” (verbatim, Apify Store)

Caps are not discounts and do not guarantee a positive result. Unknown/invalid checks produce no eligible report event; caller model/workflow costs are separate.

Example cost: one call, max $0.01 in Actor events. Caller model and workflow costs (your agent, your LLM) are separate and not included. Reports may precede final event charging; their billing fields alone do not establish a settled debit.

Unknown & partial

Statuses are part of the answer. An unknown result is not a negative, and a scoped negative covers only the checked sources. unknown and invalid_input produce no event.

Retail Availability statuses and report events
StatusMeaningReport event
verified A verified offer report from checked product structured data or supported variant metadata. Some variants may be missing or out of stock. Yes — one event
unknown No offer could be verified on the checked product page. No event
invalid_input Fix the caller input (one HTTPS product page, not a collection, search, cart or account page). No event

When to choose

Choose it when
Commerce agents can compare dated offers and refresh availability before recommending a product.
Simpler alternative
If the retailer offers a product API or feed you already use, call it directly. Choose this for a dated, source-hashed offer snapshot of one product page.

Do not choose it for

  • Buying the product or guaranteeing checkout stock
  • Inferring every variant is in stock from a group offer
  • Exhaustive retailer discovery or review analysis

No discovery of companies, people identity/deliverability verification, proof of buying intent, outreach, top-ups, subscriptions or recurring purchases. Which capability fits my task?

Start with one product

  1. 1 · Inspect (free, no token, no run)
    # Free, read-only: public Actor metadata (pricing, builds). Does not start a run.
    curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/1Huevg4n0rTdCWySV"
  2. 2 · Start one run — only after spending is authorized
    # Paid run in YOUR Apify account. Only after spending is authorized.
    # Set APIFY_TOKEN securely in your client/shell; never paste it into URLs or shared files.
    curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/1Huevg4n0rTdCWySV/runs?build=0.2.4&memory=512&timeout=60&maxTotalChargeUsd=0.01&waitForFinish=30" \

      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{"product_url":"https://www.allbirds.com/products/mens-tree-runners-wheat-dark-beige"}'

    Limits are query parameters: build 0.2.4, memory 512 MB, timeout 60 s, maxTotalChargeUsd=0.01.

  3. 3 · Poll the same run
    # Save data.id (run ID) from the first response. On timeout/ambiguity, poll THIS run.
    # Never start a second charged run to recover output.
    curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/actor-runs/$RUN_ID" \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN"
  4. 4 · Get the report (dataset items)
    # data.defaultDatasetId from the run object (one report item).
    curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/$DATASET_ID/items?format=json&clean=true" \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN"
    4b · Or the OUTPUT record
    # Alternative: data.defaultKeyValueStoreId → OUTPUT record.
    curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/$KV_STORE_ID/records/OUTPUT" \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN"

Recovery: Save the run ID from the first response; on timeout or ambiguous response, poll that same run; never start a second charged run to recover output.

No live MCP execution of these call-actor templates has been performed by anyone, owner or independent; they were validated offline against the tool schemas and current metadata, and the recorded examples came from Apify SDK/API runs.

          "memory": 512,
          "timeout": 60,
          "maxTotalChargeUsd": 0.01
        }
      }
    }

    Client config for execution (your own authentication)

    OAuth (recommended; browser sign-in, no token in config)
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
          "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=actors,runs,storage"
        }
      }
    }
    Bearer header (set the token securely in your client)
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
          "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=actors,runs,storage",
          "headers": {
            "Authorization": "Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN>"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  3. 3 · Poll the same run
    {
      "name": "get-actor-run",
      "arguments": {
        "runId": "<runId returned by call-actor>"
      }
    }
  4. 4 · Get the report (dataset items)
    {
      "name": "get-dataset-items",
      "arguments": {
        "datasetId": "<datasetId returned by call-actor>",
        "clean": true
      }
    }
    4b · Or the OUTPUT record
    {
      "name": "get-key-value-store-record",
      "arguments": {
        "keyValueStoreId": "<keyValueStoreId returned by call-actor>",
        "recordKey": "OUTPUT"
      }
    }

Recovery: Save the run ID from the first response; on timeout or ambiguous response, poll that same run; never start a second charged run to recover output. call-actor returns the run status and storage IDs (the IDs are under storages in call-actor’s structured result), not the items.
