## FAQ

### What does the SaaS headcount comparison return?

The SaaS headcount comparison task returns one row per domain with total headcount, people per department, people per seniority level and the top department, based on people on file as currently working there.

### What do I provide for the headcount comparison?

The headcount comparison task needs a list of company domains, website URLs or email addresses; each is reduced to its domain. A limit field caps how many domains are looked up.

### How do I run the SaaS headcount comparison task from the API or a schedule?

The SaaS headcount comparison task runs from the Apify Console, through the API, or on a schedule. Results export as JSON or CSV, so they open directly in Google Sheets or load into a CRM.

The SaaS headcount comparison reports the count as of each run, per department. It does not show growth or hiring trends, and it does not list people; use an employee search actor for names.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

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 full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/b2bdata/headcount-by-department.md

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`).
