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 ## USA Pet Services Leads Hub 🐾✨

#### ⚑ Instant USA B2B Pet Care Services & Contacts Extractor Deploy a state-of-the-art retrieval solution to target and extract **American pet care service business contacts** across thousands of specialized sectors. Powered by an ultra-fast indexing engine, this extractor delivers instant access to verified pet business names, direct contact phones, email addresses, websites, and complete physical locations. Whether you need to build local pet care directories or fuel enterprise-level B2B sales pipelines, you can define your target pet service categories, apply precise registry filters, and generate ready-to-use lists in seconds. --- ### 🎯 Key Capabilities * **Target Any Pet Niche**: Search professional dog walkers, pet sitters, specialized pet grooming salons, pet boarding facilities, pet cemeteries, and more. * **Granular Registry Sector Filters**: Narrow down searches by targeting specific commercial directories independently (e.g., `Dog_Walker`, `Dog_Sitter`, `Pet_grooming`, `Pet_boarding_facility`, `Pet_Cemetery`). * **Multi-Category Parallel Search**: Input multiple target terms simultaneously. The extractor searches each term sequentially and builds a single, deduplicated export. * **Flexible Matching Engine**: Toggle between broad substring matching (e.g., `groom` matches `Grooming Salon` and `Pet groomer`) or precise full-word boundary matching. * **Custom Extraction Limits**: Pull a fast sample of 100 listings or run a comprehensive campaign extraction up to 100,000 records. * **Zero-Hassle Export Formats**: Download clean, structured datasets in CSV, Excel, or JSON format directly from your Apify Console. --- ### πŸ’Ό High-Impact Use Cases * **B2B Pet Industry Sales & Outreach**: Identify high-value pet grooming business owners, boarding facility operators, pet supply manufacturers, and veterinarians matching your ideal customer profile (ICP). * **Cold Email & Marketing Campaigns**: Feed your marketing sequences with clean, verified email addresses mapped to specific US pet service niches. * **Recruitment & Partnership Development**: Discover pet care practices in specific regions to pitch corporate headhunting, specialized CRM software, veterinary tools, or localized pet marketing services. * **Market Mapping & Competitor Analysis**: Analyze the concentration and distribution of pet care service practices across US states and metropolitan areas. * **Local Business Directories**: Build, enrich, or refresh local pet service directories and finder apps with up-to-date business contact data. --- ### βš™οΈ Input Configuration The extractor accepts highly customizable, optional search criteria. For the best results, defining at least one category keyword or target registry sector is recommended. #### Extraction Parameters | Field Name | Type | Description | |:---|:---|:---| | `categories` | `array` | Category keywords to search within listing descriptions (one per line). Supports partial terms (e.g., `groom` matches `Pet grooming salon`, `Dog groomer`). Case-insensitive. | | `sourceCategories` | `array` | Specific pet care registry sectors to filter by (e.g., `Dog_Walker`, `Dog_Sitter`, `Pet_grooming`, `Pet_boarding_facility`, `Pet_Cemetery`). Limits extraction to listings matching these primary directory sectors. | | `matchType` | `select` | Choose match style: `any_character` (flexible substring search) or `full_word` (exact word boundaries to reduce search noise). Default: `any_character`. | | `limit` | `integer` | Maximum number of records to return. Min: `100`, Max: `100,000`, Default: `500`. | --- #### Example Configurations ##### πŸ”Ή Scenario A: Simple Sector Extraction Extract listings from a single pet care sector. ```json { "sourceCategories": ["Pet_grooming"], "matchType": "any_character", "limit": 500 } ```` ##### πŸ”Ή Scenario B: Multi-Sector Lead Generation Compile contacts from multiple diverse pet care registries. ```json { "sourceCategories": ["Dog_Walker", "Dog_Sitter", "Pet_boarding_facility"], "matchType": "any_character", "limit": 3000 } ``` ##### πŸ”Ή Scenario C: Hyper-Targeted Search Combine specific text search queries with registry filters using precise full-word matching. ```json { "categories": ["Pet grooming salon", "Mobile dog wash"], "sourceCategories": ["Pet_grooming"], "matchType": "full_word", "limit": 2000 } ``` *** ### πŸ“Š Extracted Output Format Every record retrieved by the extractor represents a verified US pet care business listing.

*** ### ❓ Frequently Asked Questions > **Why do some records lack email addresses?** > Email addresses are only extracted when publicly listed by the business. For listings without an email, the phone number, full address, and website URL are provided, which are ideal for alternative multichannel outreach. > **Why did my run finish with fewer results than the limit?** > The extractor only stops when it reaches your requested limit OR when it runs out of matching listings in the directory index. If a specific keyword has listings and your limit is set higher, you will receive exactly the matching listings. Try using broader keywords to expand coverage. > **Can I search multiple categories at once?** > Yes. Use the `categories` or `sourceCategories` fields and enter one keyword per line. The platform searches each in sequence and merges all results into a single dataset run. > **Do I need to configure proxy settings?** > No proxy configuration is required. The extractor runs against a fully indexed local dataset engine, delivering high performance and instant retrieval without IP blocks or scraping delays. # Actor input Schema ## `categories` (type: `array`): Filter by business categories (e.g. Pet sitter, Dog walker). The search is case-insensitive. Link : https://github.com/kawsarlog/automatic-text/blob/main/USA%20Pet%20Services%20Extractor.txt ## `sourceCategories` (type: `array`): Filter by source category values (e.g. Dog\_Sitter). The search is case-insensitive. ## `matchType` (type: `string`): Match type to use for filtering. 'Any Character (Substring Match)' finds partial matches. 'Full Word (Exact Match)' checks for exact phrase elements. ## `limit` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of filtered listings to return (min: 100, max: 100,000). ## Actor input object example ```json { "categories": [ "Pet sitter", "Dog walker" ], "sourceCategories": [ "Dog_Sitter" ], "matchType": "any_character", "limit": 500 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
