Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## GrowthZone Chamber Directory Scraper Extract public member records from GrowthZone and ChamberMaster chamber directories. Turn chamber search pages, category pages, and new-member pages into clean B2B lead datasets with company names, categories, phones, websites, addresses, profile URLs, and membership signals. ### What does GrowthZone Chamber Directory Scraper do? GrowthZone Chamber Directory Scraper is an Apify Actor for public chamber of commerce member directories powered by GrowthZone / ChamberMaster. It helps you collect structured member records from pages like: - Chamber directory search results - Keyword result pages - New member listings - Category pages - Public member profile pages The actor is built HTTP-first, so it does not open a browser for normal pages. That keeps runs faster and cheaper than browser automation. ### Who is it for? This actor is useful for teams that need repeatable chamber member data: - 🧲 **B2B sales teams** building local prospect lists - 🏒 **Local agencies** finding advertisers, sponsors, partners, or SMB clients - 🀝 **Chambers and associations** monitoring member directories and new members - πŸ“Š **Data providers** enriching company databases with chamber membership signals - πŸ—ΊοΈ **Market researchers** mapping business categories in a local region - πŸ”” **Growth teams** watching newly joined member lists for timely outreach ### Why use this actor? Manual chamber directory research is slow. A single directory can contain hundreds of member cards, and every chamber may use a slightly different host or URL structure. This actor gives you: - Clean records instead of copied web text - Profile URLs for verification - Website and phone fields where available - Category and chamber-host provenance - Optional detail-page enrichment - Configurable limits for small tests or larger exports ### Supported websites The actor targets public GrowthZone / ChamberMaster directory pages, commonly served from hosts like `web.examplechamber.org`. Examples of supported URL patterns include: - `/search` - `/advancedsearch` - `/directory/results.aspx?keyword=business` - `/directory/results.aspx?NewMemberSearch=true&adkeyword=NewMember` - `/Category-Name/Member-Name-12345` ### Data you can extract Each dataset item represents one chamber member or business listing. | Field | Description | | --- | --- | | `memberName` | Business or organization name | | `profileUrl` | GrowthZone / ChamberMaster member profile URL | | `sourceUrl` | Results page where the record was found | | `chamberHost` | Directory host, useful for multi-chamber batches | | `category` | Business category inferred from profile path or detail page | | `categoryUrl` | Public category URL | | `website` | Member website when shown | | `phone` | Phone number when shown | | `streetAddress` | Street address when available | | `city` | City | | `region` | State or region | | `postalCode` | Postal or ZIP code | | `fullAddress` | Full address block text | | `description` | Listing summary or detail text | | `memberSince` | Membership year when the chamber displays it | | `isNewMember` | Whether the record appears as a new member | | `scrapedAt` | ISO timestamp for the extraction | ### How much does it cost to scrape GrowthZone chamber members? The actor uses pay-per-event pricing: - Start event: `$0.005` per run - Item event: tiered per saved member record Current item pricing starts at the BRONZE tier shown in the actor pricing panel. Larger usage tiers receive lower per-record prices. ### Input overview The main input is `startUrls`. Add one or more public chamber directory URLs. ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://web.grandrapids.org/directory/results.aspx?keyword=business" } ], "maxItems": 100, "includeDetails": false, "requestDelayMs": 0 } ```` ### Input fields #### `startUrls` Public GrowthZone / ChamberMaster URLs to scrape. Use results URLs for fastest exports. #### `maxItems` Maximum number of member records to save across all start URLs. #### `includeDetails` When enabled, the actor opens each member profile page to enrich category, address, website, and description fields. #### `requestDelayMs` Optional delay between profile-page requests. This applies only when `includeDetails` is enabled. ### Recommended start URL patterns For broad lead lists, use keyword result URLs: ```text https://web.grandrapids.org/directory/results.aspx?keyword=business ``` For newly joined companies, use new-member result URLs: ```text https://web.grandrapids.org/directory/results.aspx?NewMemberSearch=true&adkeyword=NewMember ``` For discovery from a directory homepage, use: ```text https://web.grandrapids.org/search ``` ### Output example ```json { "memberName": "Business System Solutions - Indiana", "profileUrl": "https://web.grandrapids.org/Computers-Technology/Business-System-Solutions-Indiana-8576", "sourceUrl": "https://web.grandrapids.org/directory/results.aspx?keyword=business", "chamberHost": "web.grandrapids.org", "category": "Computers Technology", "website": "https://bssconsulting.com/", "phone": "(765) 742-3440", "city": "West Lafayette", "region": "IN", "memberSince": "2024", "isNewMember": false, "scrapedAt": "2026-07-04T04:20:18.378Z" } ``` ### Step-by-step guide 1. Open the chamber directory in your browser. 2. Search for a keyword or open a new-member/category page. 3. Copy the URL from your browser. 4. Paste it into `startUrls`. 5. Set `maxItems`. 6. Run the actor. 7. Export the dataset as CSV, Excel, JSON, or via API. ### Tips for better results - Use `/directory/results.aspx?keyword=...` pages for broad exports. - Use new-member pages for timely outreach workflows. - Keep `includeDetails` disabled for fast first runs. - Enable `includeDetails` when you need cleaner profile-page descriptions. - Use multiple chamber URLs in one run when comparing regions. ### Integrations You can connect the dataset to: - CRM lead imports - Google Sheets reporting - Airtable databases - HubSpot or Salesforce enrichment pipelines - Clay, Make, Zapier, or n8n workflows - Local market dashboards ### Monitoring newly joined members Schedule the actor weekly with a new-member URL and compare the exported profile URLs to your previous run. New profile URLs represent companies that joined recently and may be good outreach targets. ### Local market research workflow Run the actor for several category or keyword URLs, group by `category`, and count member records. This helps estimate active industries in a local chamber market. ### API usage with Node.js ```js import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN }); const run = await client.actor('automation-lab/growthzone-chamber-directory-scraper').call({ startUrls: [{ url: 'https://web.grandrapids.org/directory/results.aspx?keyword=business' }], maxItems: 100, }); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); console.log(items); ``` ### API usage with Python ```python from apify_client import ApifyClient client = ApifyClient('YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN') run = client.actor('automation-lab/growthzone-chamber-directory-scraper').call(run_input={ 'startUrls': [{'url': 'https://web.grandrapids.org/directory/results.aspx?keyword=business'}], 'maxItems': 100, }) items = client.dataset(run['defaultDatasetId']).list_items().items print(items) ``` ### API usage with cURL ```bash curl -X POST 'https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/automation-lab~growthzone-chamber-directory-scraper/runs?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{"startUrls":[{"url":"https://web.grandrapids.org/directory/results.aspx?keyword=business"}],"maxItems":100}' ``` ### MCP usage Use this actor from Apify MCP tools in Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or VS Code. The actor-specific MCP URL is: ```text https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=automation-lab/growthzone-chamber-directory-scraper ``` Add the Apify MCP server in Claude Code with HTTP transport: ```bash claude mcp add apify --transport http https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=automation-lab/growthzone-chamber-directory-scraper ``` For Claude Desktop, add an MCP server entry like this and include your Apify token in the environment: ```json { "mcpServers": { "apify-growthzone-chambers": { "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=automation-lab/growthzone-chamber-directory-scraper", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" } } } } ``` For Cursor or VS Code, open the MCP settings file and add the same HTTP server configuration. Cursor commonly uses `.cursor/mcp.json`; VS Code can use `.vscode/mcp.json` or the MCP extension's user-level settings: ```json { "mcpServers": { "apify-growthzone-chambers": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=automation-lab/growthzone-chamber-directory-scraper", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" } } } } ``` After saving the settings, restart the editor MCP session and ask the assistant to run `automation-lab/growthzone-chamber-directory-scraper` with your GrowthZone directory URL. Example prompts: - "Scrape 100 members from this GrowthZone chamber directory and summarize top categories." - "Monitor this new-member URL and tell me which companies appeared since last week." - "Extract websites and phone numbers from this ChamberMaster search results page." ### Data quality notes GrowthZone directories are public but not identical. Some chambers show full addresses and websites on result cards; others require profile-page enrichment. Some listings omit websites or descriptions. The actor leaves unavailable fields as `null` rather than guessing. ### Troubleshooting #### Why did I get zero results? Use a results URL if possible. Landing pages can require link discovery before listings appear. If a chamber uses a custom non-GrowthZone template, the actor may not find `ListingResults` containers. #### Why are some websites missing? Some chamber listings do not include public website links. Try `includeDetails: true` to open profile pages. #### Why does a category look like `Computers Technology`? The category is inferred from the GrowthZone profile path when result cards do not expose a separate category label. ### Legality and responsible use This actor extracts publicly available business directory data. You are responsible for using the data lawfully, respecting website terms, and complying with privacy, outreach, and anti-spam rules in your jurisdiction. Do not use scraped contact data for unlawful spam, harassment, or discrimination. ### Related scrapers Other Automation Lab actors that can support lead-generation workflows: - https://apify.com/automation-lab/website-contact-finder - https://apify.com/automation-lab/business-address-scraper - https://apify.com/automation-lab/google-maps-scraper - https://apify.com/automation-lab/linkedIn-profile-scraper ### Changelog #### 0.1 - Initial GrowthZone / ChamberMaster member directory extraction - HTTP/Cheerio implementation - Optional profile-page enrichment - PPE start and item charge events ### FAQ #### Can I scrape any chamber website? No. The actor is designed for public GrowthZone / ChamberMaster directory templates. Other chamber platforms may need a different actor. #### Can I run many chambers at once? Yes. Add multiple start URLs and set a `maxItems` limit that matches your export size. #### Does it require login? No. The actor targets public member directory pages only. #### Does it use a proxy? No proxy is required for the default tested public pages. #### Can I export to Excel? Yes. Apify datasets can be downloaded as CSV, XLSX, JSON, XML, RSS, and HTML. # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Public chamber directory URLs to scrape.
