## What's an Apify Actor?

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

### What does CompanyEnrich Decision Maker Search do?

**CompanyEnrich Decision Maker Search** finds professional profiles for sales, recruiting, and GTM workflows. It uses cursor-based pagination, so you can continue beyond page-based limits while saving one dataset row per decision maker.

The Actor is built for users who want CompanyEnrich people data through Apify schedules, datasets, webhooks, integrations, and no-code automations. Users run the Actor with decision maker search filters only.

### Why use CompanyEnrich Decision Maker Search?

Use this Actor for sales prospecting, recruiting research, CRM enrichment, account-based workflows, and GTM operations that need people filtered by title, company domain, seniority, department, country, or company criteria.

CompanyEnrich is an API-first B2B data platform for platforms, AI agents, RevOps teams, and GTM workflows. Its people data supports professional profile search across titles, companies, seniority, departments, and company filters.

### How to use CompanyEnrich Decision Maker Search

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console.
2. Add people filters such as `positionQuery`, `domains`, `countries`, `seniority`, or `department`.
3. Optionally paste a previous `nextCursor` into `cursor` to continue a search.
4. Click **Start**.
5. Download results from the default dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or through the Apify API.

Each run returns one fixed page of up to 10 decision makers. The page size is not configurable. To get more results, use the `nextCursor` from the dataset or summary as the `cursor` in the next run.

### Input

| Field               | Type         | Description                                                                         |
| ------------------- | ------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `query`             | string       | Optional decision maker search query.                                               |
| `positionQuery`     | string array | Search terms for current job title, such as `sales` or `founder`.                   |
| `domains`           | string array | Company domains to find decision makers for. Up to 100 domains.                     |
| `countries`         | string array | Optional ISO 2-letter country codes.                                                |
| `seniority`         | string array | Optional seniority filters such as `c-suite`, `vp`, `director`, or `manager`.       |
| `department`        | string array | Optional department slugs such as `sales`, `marketing`, or `engineering-technical`. |
| `cursor`            | string       | Optional starting cursor from a previous run.                                       |
| `companyFilter`     | object       | Advanced CompanyEnrich company lookup filter.                                       |
| `exclude`           | object       | Advanced people exclusion filters.                                                  |
| `additionalFilters` | object       | Advanced JSON filters passed directly to the API.                                   |
| `failOnError`       | boolean      | If enabled, the run fails after pushing an error row when the API call fails.       |

Example input:

```json
{
    "positionQuery": ["sales"],
    "domains": ["apple.com"],
    "seniority": ["director", "vp"]
}
````

### Output

The Actor writes one item per decision maker to the default dataset. You can download the dataset in JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or access it through the Apify API.

Example dataset item:

```json
{
    "status": "success",
    "rank": 1,
    "name": "Jane Doe",
    "position": "VP Sales",
    "seniority": "vp",
    "department": "sales",
    "linkedinUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/example",
    "country": "United States",
    "currentCompanyName": "Apple",
    "currentCompanyDomain": "apple.com",
    "nextCursor": "eyJwYWdlIjoyfQ",
    "creditCost": 50,
    "person": {
        "id": 123,
        "name": "Jane Doe"
    }
}
```

The default key-value store also contains an `OUTPUT` summary record with result counts, fixed page size, cursor metadata, and pagination totals.

### Pricing and usage

This Actor uses Apify pay-per-event pricing. Each run requests one fixed page of up to 10 decision makers, so `person-profile` events are charged for that fixed page when pay-per-event pricing is active.

CompanyEnrich documents `POST /people/search/scroll` as costing 2 credits per person returned, with 2 credits minimum if no results are found.

### Tips and advanced options

- Use company `domains` when you need people from specific accounts.
- Use `positionQuery`, `seniority`, and `department` together for more targeted searches.
- Store `nextCursor` from the dataset or summary to continue the search with the next fixed 10-result page.
- Use `exclude` to remove unwanted titles, countries, domains, seniorities, or departments.
- Use Apify schedules, webhooks, integrations, and API access to connect people results to downstream workflows.

### FAQ, disclaimers, and support

**Does this Actor scrape websites?**\
No. It calls the CompanyEnrich REST API and stores the API response in Apify datasets.

**Where can I get help?**\
Use the Actor Issues tab in Apify Console for bugs, field requests, or integration questions.
