## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

  ],
  "locationQuery": "New York, USA",
  "maxPlacesPerSearch": 25,
  "maxPagesPerWebsite": 4,
  "onlySaveLeadsWithEmail": false,
  "mapsMaxTotalChargeUsd": 5
}
```

### Example output

```json
{
  "businessName": "Example Dental Clinic",
  "phone": "+1 555 0100",
  "website": "https://exampledental.com",
  "email": "info@exampledental.com",
  "emails": [
    "info@exampledental.com"
  ],
  "address": "123 Main Street, New York, NY",
  "category": "Dentist",
  "rating": 4.8,
  "reviewsCount": 230,
  "googleMapsUrl": "https://www.google.com/maps/place/...",

  },
  "hasEmail": true,
  "emailCount": 1
}
```

### Pricing and cost control

This Actor charges for enriched leads it saves. Leads with emails cost more because they are more valuable for outreach. The Google Maps source Actor may also charge the user for collecting map listings.

Use these controls to keep costs predictable:

- maxPlacesPerSearch: limit businesses collected per keyword
- maxBusinesses: hard cap total businesses processed
- maxPagesPerWebsite: limit pages scanned per website
- mapsMaxTotalChargeUsd: cap the Google Maps source Actor run
- onlySaveLeadsWithEmail: save only leads where an email is found

### Tips for better email discovery

- Set maxPagesPerWebsite to 4 or 5 for better email coverage.
- Use specific categories such as dentist, roofing contractor, personal injury lawyer, restaurant, or real estate agent.
- Use city-level locations instead of very broad country searches.
- Some businesses do not have websites, and some websites do not publish emails. Those records may still include phone, address, rating, and Google Maps URL.

### Source mode options

#### Google Maps Actor mode

Use sourceMode: googleMapsActor to collect businesses from Google Maps and then enrich their websites.

#### Websites-only mode

Use sourceMode: websitesOnly when you already have business website URLs and only want email/social enrichment.
