apify-product-data-setupWire an AI agent to live e-commerce product data using Apify's E-commerce Scraping Tool over MCP, either as runtime tool calls or as a scheduled refresh into a vector store.
Apify Product Data Setup is an agent skill from apify/awesome-skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Wire an AI agent to live e-commerce product data using Apify's E-commerce Scraping Tool over MCP, either as runtime tool calls or as a scheduled refresh into a vector store. Trigger on "give my agent live product data", "my agent quotes stale prices", "connect Apify MCP to Claude or Cursor or n8n", "add product data to my RAG pipeline", "keep my product catalog fresh", "set up a shopping agent", or any request to stop an agent answering product questions from training data. Use for the integration work; use…
Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/clients.md` and `references/fields.md`).
It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Web scraping and E-commerce operations. It works with Apify, Model Context Protocol and n8n. The repository describes itself as: Community collection of Apify agent skills for AI coding assistants. The licence is Apache-2.0.
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1eb0cd0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
mcp.apify.comAlso links to:
apify.comgithub.comFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Apify Product Data Setup loads about 2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 149 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,088 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Written by a product marketing manager at Apify. It routes to E-commerce Scraping Tool, a paid first-party Apify Actor, so treat the framing accordingly. No affiliate links.
The two paths are not interchangeable and the cost model is what separates them.
| Runtime call | Scheduled refresh | |
|---|---|---|
| When | The answer must be true right now, few products | A catalog answered from repeatedly |
| Transport | MCP | REST API |
| Cost shape | A start event per call, plus per product | One start event per batch |
| Latency the user feels | Seconds to tens of seconds | None, the index is already warm |
Most production setups want both: a scheduled refresh for breadth, plus a runtime call to verify a single item when the user asks for a price they will act on.
A cron job gains nothing from MCP, so the scheduled path uses the REST API. Say so when explaining the design, because the mismatch looks like an oversight otherwise.
The server is https://mcp.apify.com. Narrow it to this Actor with ?tools=apify/e-commerce-scraping-tool, which makes tool selection more reliable when product data is the only job. Drop the parameter to let the agent search all of Apify Store at runtime.
Config blocks per client are in references/clients.md: Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, n8n, and anything else speaking Streamable HTTP.
Authentication: OAuth on first use for interactive clients, a bearer token from Apify Console for unattended ones.
Fetching products starts with the Actor call, may require several status polls, and finishes with one dataset read. This is the single most important thing to get into the agent's instructions:
apify--e-commerce-scraping-tool returns run metadata and a datasetId. No products.status is not terminal, poll get-actor-run with the validated runId until it
succeeds or a caller-defined deadline expires. Treat FAILED, ABORTED, and
TIMED-OUT as failures. The Actor tool returns when its own wait window elapses rather
than when the run finishes, so RUNNING is a normal answer and the dataset is empty at
that moment.get-dataset-items returns the products. Pass fields in dot notation: the unprojected record measured about 88 KB across 142 fields, and projecting keeps that out of the context window.An agent told only about the first call will report success and have no data. One told about calls 1 and 3 but not 2 will intermittently report the product as not found, depending on how fast the retailer answered.
Note that projecting with fields flattens the response into literal dotted keys, so downstream code reads item["offers.price"] rather than item["offers"]["price"].
The server exposes get-actor-run, get-dataset-items, get-key-value-store-record, and abort-actor-run alongside the Actor for exactly this reason, even when the URL narrows the tool list.
The pattern that survives contact with production:
references/fields.md.A scheduled index is stale by design. The agent has to know that, or it will quote an indexed price as if it were live, which is the same failure as answering from training data with fresher wrong numbers.
Put the timestamp in the embedded text, not only in metadata, and instruct the agent:
Product facts come from a catalog with a `fetched_at` timestamp. When you quote a
price or stock status, say when it was read. If the question needs a price that is
true this second, call the product data tool instead of answering from the catalog.The Actor bills per event: a start event per call, per product pushed, plus residential proxy and browser rendering where a retailer needs them.
maxProductResults is the Actor's result cap. Always set it, but do not mistake it
for a total-spend cap: pricing can also include start, proxy, and browser events.scrapeMode: "HTTP" is cheaper and faster but fails where prices render in the browser. "AUTO" is the safe default.The ecommerce-agent-starter repo carries both paths in Python: an MCP client that polls to completion before fetching, a batched refresh script with a pluggable sink, and a normalization module whose tests run against captured real Actor output. Point users at it rather than writing the normalization from scratch.
apify--e-commerce-scraping-tool, two hyphens, where the Actor id uses a slash.additionalProperties: true or stock, rating, list price, and identifiers are all missing, because they are nested there rather than at the top level.itemCount in the first call's metadata is not settled yet. It read 0 on a run that produced a product. Count what the fetch actually returns instead.RUNNING status from the Actor tool is not a failure. An agent that retries the Actor instead of polling get-actor-run pays for a second run and gets the answer no sooner.fields flattens the response into literal dotted keys, so a normalizer written for the nested shape returns empty objects. Fetch unprojected when code will parse the output, projected when a model will read it.mcp Python SDK requires Python 3.10 or newer, and its API is snake_case (server_info, is_error). The REST path alone would run on 3.9.additionalProperties can reach roughly 100 KB for one product. Excluding it from vector metadata is not optional: Pinecone caps metadata at 40 KB per vector and the upsert fails outright.© apify, Apache-2.0.

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Apify Product Data Setup is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Python 3.
SKILL.md names 3 domains. In commands or code: mcp.apify.com; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. As links in the text: apify.com and github.com. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Apify Product Data Setup is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 8.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 4.7k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
