## 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.

### Country & Time Targeting

**Target Country** did two jobs already: it supplies the dial code the search
looks for, and it is the region numbers are parsed against. It now does a third

- Google is asked to answer as if searching from that country (`gl`). Turn on
  **Strict country filter** to also restrict results to pages Google attributes to
  it (`cr=countryXX`); that is much tighter and returns noticeably fewer results.

**Result Language** restricts results to one language (`hl` + `lr`).

**Time Range** limits results to a publication window - past hour, 24 hours,
week, month, year, or an explicit *Custom range* via **Custom range: from** /
**to** in `YYYY-MM-DD` form. Selecting *Custom range* without either date falls
back to no time filter rather than silently searching all of time.

### Region resolution

| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `regionAmbiguous` | `true` when the number was printed without a country code and the same national digits are valid in more than one country |
| `phoneIsMobile` | `true`/`false` where the numbering plan can tell, empty where it genuinely cannot (US, Canada, Mexico) |
| `phoneCallingCode` | The country's international calling code, as a number |
| `phoneCountryName` | Full country name, falling back to the two-letter code rather than guessing |

`regionAmbiguous` is the important one. A number written as `020 7946 0958` is
only a UK number because the run targeted the UK - the country shown is a
reading, not a fact, and this column tells you which rows those are.

# Actor input Schema

## `scrapeMode` (type: `string`):

Find New Numbers (default) searches About.Me by keyword. Validate My List skips searching entirely and instead runs the numbers you paste into Phone List (below) through the same deliverability checks.

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Enter keywords to search for (e.g., 'Target Keyword'). Only used in Find New Numbers mode.

## `location` (type: `string`):

Filter by location (e.g., 'London', 'California'). Leave empty for global search. Only used in Find New Numbers mode.

## `country` (type: `string`):

Select the country to target for phone numbers. Only used in Find New Numbers mode.

## `phoneList` (type: `array`):

Paste the phone numbers you want checked for deliverability (any format - the selected Country is used as the default region for numbers without a country code). Only used when Scrape Mode is set to "Validate My List".

## `maxPhoneNumbers` (type: `integer`):

Stop scraping after this many phone numbers are found. Setting a higher limit extends the scraping duration. Only used in Find New Numbers mode.

## `minQualityScore` (type: `number`):

Drop any number whose quality score (0.0-1.0) falls below this. Leave at 0 for no filter.

## `requireStrictValid` (type: `boolean`):

Drop numbers that fail strict validity (correct length/format for the region) - mainly relevant in Validate My List mode, since search results are already strictly valid by construction.

## `excludeTollFree` (type: `boolean`):

Drop numbers identified as toll-free.

## `excludePremiumRate` (type: `boolean`):

Drop numbers identified as premium-rate.

## `requireCountryMatch` (type: `boolean`):

Drop numbers whose own detected region does not match the Country you selected (e.g. shared dial codes like +1 covering the US, Canada, and Caribbean nations).

## `strictCountry` (type: `boolean`):

Restrict Google to pages it attributes to the country you selected (cr=countryXX), rather than only preferring them. Much tighter targeting, noticeably fewer results.

## `searchLanguage` (type: `string`):

Restrict results to one language. Leave on "Any language" for no filter.

## `timeRange` (type: `string`):

Only return pages Google indexed within this window. A number published last month is far more likely to still be answered than one last seen years ago.

## `customDateFrom` (type: `string`):

Only used when Time Range is "Custom range". Format: YYYY-MM-DD.

## `customDateTo` (type: `string`):

Only used when Time Range is "Custom range". Format: YYYY-MM-DD.
