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 ## LawyerLegion Attorney Directory Scraper Extract public attorney lead data from Lawyer Legion directory and profile pages. The actor turns Lawyer Legion search pages into structured attorney records you can export to JSON, CSV, Excel, Google Sheets, or your CRM. ### What does LawyerLegion Attorney Directory Scraper do? LawyerLegion Attorney Directory Scraper collects public attorney information from `lawyers.lawyerlegion.com`. It can start from a Lawyer Legion directory URL such as a state, county, or practice-area page. It follows directory pagination automatically until it reaches your requested limit. It can also process individual public attorney profile URLs. For each attorney, it saves contact, firm, location, practice, résumé, and provenance fields when they are visible on the public page. ### Who is it for? Legal marketers use it to build targeted outreach lists. Recruiters use it to research attorneys by practice area and geography. Law firms use it to monitor comparable firms and attorneys in a local market. Sales teams use it to find publicly listed legal service businesses. Researchers use it to compile public attorney directory data for analysis. ### Why use this actor? ✅ It is focused on Lawyer Legion, not a generic web crawler. ✅ It works with public directory URLs that are easy to copy from the site. ✅ It captures profile-level details when available. ✅ It preserves source URLs for auditability. ✅ It outputs one clean row per attorney. ### What data can you extract? | Field | Description | | --- | --- | | `name` | Attorney name | | `firmName` | Firm or organization name | | `phone` | Public phone number | | `website` | Public website link | | `emailUrl` | Lawyer Legion message URL when visible | | `profileUrl` | Lawyer Legion attorney profile URL | | `streetAddress` | Street address | | `locality` | City | | `region` | State or region | | `postalCode` | ZIP/postal code | | `latitude` | Latitude when embedded in directory markup | | `longitude` | Longitude when embedded in directory markup | | `practiceAreas` | Practice areas from the profile | | `barAdmissions` | Admissions or jurisdictions when visible | | `boardCertifications` | Board certification data when visible | | `education` | Education résumé entries | | `bio` | Public biography or profile description | | `imageUrl` | Attorney image URL | | `directoryUrl` | Directory page where the record was found | | `sourceUrl` | Page used as the source for the saved record | | `pageNumber` | Directory pagination page number | | `scrapedAt` | Timestamp when the item was saved | ### How much does it cost to scrape Lawyer Legion attorneys? The actor uses pay-per-event pricing. There is a small start fee for each run. There is a per-attorney result fee for each saved attorney record. The exact price shown on the Apify Store page is authoritative. Use a low `maxItems` value for your first test run. Scale up after you confirm the output matches your workflow. ### How to scrape Lawyer Legion 1. Open Lawyer Legion in your browser. 2. Search by state, county, city, or practice area. 3. Copy the public directory URL. 4. Paste it into `startUrls`. 5. Set `maxItems`. 6. Keep `includeProfileDetails` enabled for richer profile data. 7. Run the actor. 8. Export the dataset. ### Input configuration #### `startUrls` Use Lawyer Legion directory URLs or attorney profile URLs. Example: ```json [ { "url": "https://lawyers.lawyerlegion.com/california/los-angeles-county/personal-injury" } ] ```` #### `maxItems` Maximum attorney records to save. Set this low for trial runs. Increase it for full directory exports. #### `includeProfileDetails` When enabled, the actor visits each attorney profile page. This improves biography, practice area, education, admission, and certification coverage. Disable it only when you need faster directory-only extraction. #### `maxConcurrency` Reserved for compatibility and future tuning. The current implementation uses polite sequential requests. ### Example input ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://lawyers.lawyerlegion.com/california/los-angeles-county/personal-injury" } ], "maxItems": 10, "includeProfileDetails": true, "maxConcurrency": 1 } ``` ### Example output ```json { "name": "Example Attorney", "firmName": "Example Law Firm", "phone": "310-555-1234", "website": "https://example-law.com", "profileUrl": "https://lawyers.lawyerlegion.com/california/example-attorney-123", "locality": "Los Angeles", "region": "CA", "practiceAreas": ["Personal Injury"], "education": ["Example Law School", "J.D."], "sourceUrl": "https://lawyers.lawyerlegion.com/california/example-attorney-123", "scrapedAt": "2026-01-01T00:00:00.000Z" } ``` ### Output formats You can download results as JSON. You can download results as CSV. You can download results as Excel. You can connect the dataset to integrations. You can access results through the Apify API. ### Tips for best results Use specific Lawyer Legion URLs. Practice-area and county pages usually produce more targeted leads. Keep profile details enabled when data completeness matters. Use `maxItems` to control run size. Review a small sample before running a large export. ### Common use cases Build attorney prospecting lists. Research personal injury attorneys in a county. Compare law firm coverage across markets. Find attorneys associated with specific practice areas. Enrich legal CRM records with public profile URLs. Monitor public directory visibility for a law firm. ### Integrations Send results to Google Sheets for review. Export CSV into HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, or Airtable. Use webhooks to trigger enrichment workflows after a run finishes. Use the Apify API to pull records into your internal database. Connect the actor to Make, Zapier, or n8n for automated lead workflows. ### API usage #### Node.js ```js import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN }); const run = await client.actor('automation-lab/lawyerlegion-attorney-directory-scraper').call({ startUrls: [{ url: 'https://lawyers.lawyerlegion.com/california/los-angeles-county/personal-injury' }], maxItems: 10, includeProfileDetails: true }); console.log(run.defaultDatasetId); ``` #### Python ```python from apify_client import ApifyClient client = ApifyClient('MY-APIFY-TOKEN') run = client.actor('automation-lab/lawyerlegion-attorney-directory-scraper').call(run_input={ 'startUrls': [{'url': 'https://lawyers.lawyerlegion.com/california/los-angeles-county/personal-injury'}], 'maxItems': 10, 'includeProfileDetails': True, }) print(run['defaultDatasetId']) ``` #### cURL ```bash curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/automation-lab~lawyerlegion-attorney-directory-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"startUrls":[{"url":"https://lawyers.lawyerlegion.com/california/los-angeles-county/personal-injury"}],"maxItems":10,"includeProfileDetails":true}' ``` ### MCP usage Use this actor from MCP-compatible tools through Apify MCP. Claude Code URL: `https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=automation-lab/lawyerlegion-attorney-directory-scraper` Add it in Claude Code: ```bash claude mcp add apify-lawyerlegion "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=automation-lab/lawyerlegion-attorney-directory-scraper" ``` Claude Desktop JSON config: ```json { "mcpServers": { "apify-lawyerlegion": { "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=automation-lab/lawyerlegion-attorney-directory-scraper" } } } ``` Claude Desktop can use the same Apify MCP server URL. Example prompts: - "Run the LawyerLegion scraper for this Los Angeles personal injury URL and summarize the firms." - "Export the first 25 attorneys from this Lawyer Legion directory to CSV." - "Find attorney profiles with websites and phone numbers from this directory page." ### Data quality notes The actor extracts public data visible on Lawyer Legion pages. Some attorneys may not publish a phone number. Some profiles may not include education or admissions. Directory snippets may be less complete than profile pages. The `sourceUrl` field shows which page supplied the final record. ### Legality and responsible use This actor is designed for public web pages. Always respect applicable laws and platform terms. Do not use scraped data for spam, harassment, or prohibited profiling. Review your local rules before contacting attorneys. Use reasonable run sizes. ### FAQ #### Can I scrape an individual attorney profile? Yes. Paste a public Lawyer Legion profile URL into `startUrls`. #### Does this actor require a Lawyer Legion account? No. It is designed for public directory and profile pages. ### Troubleshooting #### Why did I get fewer results than `maxItems`? The selected directory may contain fewer public records than your limit. The actor stops when pagination ends. #### Why are some fields empty? Lawyer Legion profiles vary. If the public page does not show education, admissions, or website data, the corresponding output field can be empty. ### Related scrapers Explore related legal and lead-generation actors from Automation Lab: - https://apify.com/automation-lab/lawyer-com-scraper - https://apify.com/automation-lab/google-maps-lead-finder - https://apify.com/automation-lab/business-directory-scraper ### Support If the site layout changes, open an issue from the actor page.
