## Pricing

from $2.00 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## IKEA Product Availability

Check **in-store stock quantities** for IKEA products in **any IKEA country** and **any stores**. Give it product URLs or plain article numbers, pick the stores you care about, and get back the number of units in stock at each store, plus a clear status for every product.

Useful for resellers, price and restock monitoring, and anyone who checks IKEA stock by hand today.

### What you get

- Numeric stock **quantity per store** (for example 851 units at store 496)
- Stock level (`HIGH_IN_STOCK`, `LOW_IN_STOCK`, `OUT_OF_STOCK`, ...) and whether the store sells the product at all
- Restock information when IKEA provides it
- For combination products (sofas, wardrobes, beds...): number of complete sets in stock **and** the stock of every package
- A **status for every product**, so a real `0` is never confused with a failed lookup
- Up to 50 products checked per request to IKEA, so thousands of products finish in minutes

### Input

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| **Product URLs** | IKEA product URLs. The country is detected from the URL, e.g. `https://www.ikea.com/jp/ja/p/...` is Japan. |
| **Article numbers** | 8-digit IKEA article numbers, e.g. `70429282` or `704.292.82` (`s` prefix for combinations is fine). Requires **Country**. |
| **Country** | Two-letter IKEA country code: `jp`, `us`, `gb`, `de`, `fr`, `pt`, ... Required with article numbers. If set, it overrides the country in URLs. |
| **Store IDs** | Only return these stores, e.g. `496`, `486`. Leave empty to get every store in the country. |
| **Products per request** | 1–50 (default 50, the maximum IKEA accepts). |
| **Delay between requests (ms)** | Pause between requests to IKEA (default 1500). |

You can mix URLs and article numbers in one run. Duplicates are checked only once.

#### Example: two stores in Japan

```json
{
  "articleNumbers": ["70429282", "704.292.82"],
  "country": "jp",
  "storeIds": ["496", "486"]
}
```

#### Example: product URLs, all stores

```json
{
  "productUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/kivik-sofa-tibbleby-beige-gray-s39440593/" }
  ]
}
```

### Output

One row per product:

```json
{
  "articleNumber": "70429282",
  "country": "jp",
  "url": "https://www.ikea.com/jp/ja/p/fissla-carrier-bag-large-white-black-70429282/",
  "checkedAt": "2026-10-21T12:44:55.168Z",
  "status": "OK",
  "error": null,
  "stores": [
    {
      "storeId": "496",
      "quantity": 851,
      "stockStatus": "HIGH_IN_STOCK",
      "soldInStore": true,
      "restocks": [],
      "updatedAt": "2026-10-21T11:13:56.000Z"
    },
    {
      "storeId": "486",
      "quantity": 766,
      "stockStatus": "HIGH_IN_STOCK",
      "soldInStore": true,
      "restocks": [],
      "updatedAt": "2026-10-21T11:32:13.000Z"
    }
  ]
}
```

For combination products, each store also has `parts`: the article number, quantity and availability of every package. `quantity` is then the number of complete sets.

#### Statuses

| `status` | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `OK` | IKEA answered. See `stores` for each store. |
| `NOT_FOUND` | The article number doesn't exist in that IKEA country. |
| `INVALID_INPUT` | The URL or article number couldn't be read. `error` says why. |
| `REQUEST_FAILED` | The request to IKEA failed (network error or unexpected response). |

Inside an `OK` row, each store has:

- `quantity`: number of units in stock. `0` means zero stock. `null` means IKEA has no number for that store.
- `stockStatus`: IKEA's stock level, `NOT_SOLD_IN_STORE` if that store doesn't sell the product, or `NO_DATA` if IKEA returned nothing for that store.

### Responsible use

- The Actor sends at most 50 products per request, with a pause between requests.
- If IKEA answers **HTTP 403 or 429**, the run **stops immediately without retrying** and ends as failed with that reason. Rows already collected are kept.
- No proxies or blocking workarounds are used.

### Pricing

Pay per result: **one result = one product row**, whatever the number of stores in it. Platform usage is included. Rows with `NOT_FOUND` or `INVALID_INPUT` are also results, so keep your product list clean.

Example: 2,000 products checked 15 times a month = 30,000 results.

Price per 1,000 results depends on your Apify plan, and the discount is applied automatically:

| Apify plan | Price per 1,000 results |
|---|---|
| Free | $5.00 |
| Starter | $3.00 |
| Scale | $2.50 |
| Business | $2.00 |

### Export

Download the results as **Excel, CSV, JSON** or other formats from the run's dataset, or use the Apify API, schedules and integrations to automate it.

## MCP server setup

        }
    }
}
```

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).
