Getting it into your agent
This one installs as part of its plugin. Adding the marketplace and installing the plugin brings it with everything else the plugin ships.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00036 | $0.01184 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00592 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00237 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00118 |
Grade A, and why
apify-market-research scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
This is a copy
98% identical to apify-market-research — 3 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts

Market Research
Conduct market research using Apify Actors to extract data from multiple platforms.
When to Use
- You need market sizing, regional demand, pricing, trend, or consumer behavior data.
- The task is to gather research inputs from maps, travel, Facebook, Instagram, or trend sources with Apify.
- You need structured market data plus a synthesized view of opportunities or risks.
Prerequisites

What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

apify-market-research is a skill published in the GitHub repository Ghosteken/agent-harness (2 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 1,184 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 98% identical to apify-market-research, differing in 3 lines, and is treated as a copy.
