## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

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 examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

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`).

### ❓ FAQ

**Is it legal to scrape Wattpad author emails?**
This actor only collects emails that authors have published publicly on their profiles, stories and websites. You are responsible for using the data in compliance with privacy and anti-spam laws (GDPR, CAN-SPAM, CCPA, COPPA…): have a legitimate reason to contact authors, personalise your messages and always include an unsubscribe option.

**Wattpad has many young users – how should I use the data?**
Wattpad is used by many teenagers. Use this actor for professional outreach to adult authors and creative professionals (published authors, editors, designers), and do not contact users who appear to be minors.

**Why did I get fewer emails than requested?**
Some niches simply have few public emails. The actor searches Wattpad profiles and stories **and** the wider web, then stops automatically when no more emails exist for your search. To get more, add more keywords (genres, writer types) and more email domains.

**Do I need a Wattpad account or API key?**
No. Just enter your keywords and run the actor.

**Can I schedule it?**
Yes – use Apify Schedules to collect new author emails daily or weekly and send them automatically to Google Sheets, a CRM or a webhook.

### 💰 Pricing

Simple pay-per-result model: you only pay for the emails you collect.

**Price: $9.99 per 1,000 emails** 💵

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
