## FAQ

### Who counts as a founder or CEO here?

The US software founders task keeps people whose title contains founder or ceo at the preset decision-maker levels, so co-founders and chief executives land in it and executive assistants to the CEO do not.

### How do I get the whole leadership instead?

Clear Job titles in the US software founders task to take every title at the C-level, Founder, Owner and VP levels, and raise Leads per company.

### Are the emails verified?

Each row carries an address on record at the current employer or a personal one; addresses at earlier employers never ship. People without such an address are skipped for free.

## 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/b2bsearch/decision-makers-leads-finder.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`).
