## Pricing

from $2.49 / 1,000 solicitor with emails

This Actor is paid per event and usage. You are charged both the fixed price for specific events and for Apify platform usage.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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`).

# README

## NSW Solicitor Emails · Law Society Register

Export **New South Wales solicitors** with the **email and phone printed** on the Law Society of NSW [Register of Solicitors](https://www.lawsociety.com.au/register-of-solicitors) (Find a Solicitor). One row per solicitor. Public register only.

**No login. No API key. No Law Society account.**

### Who is this for?

| You are… | Typical goal | Suggested setup |
|----------|--------------|-----------------|
| Referral / legal-tech marketplace | NSW counsel with a mailbox | Suburb `SYDNEY`, only with contact |
| Corporate / insurance panel | City of Sydney firms | Region City of Sydney |
| SDR / agency (Australia) | Outbound list by surname | Last name begins with `Smith` |
| First-run QA | Small CRM sample | 20-row sample |

**What you get by default.** Solicitor name, firm, published mailbox (personal first, then firm), NSW phone, website when the practice card prints one, suburb / region, practising-certificate class, register page.

**Honest coverage.** Last-name letters A–Z summed to **50,641** solicitors on 7 Sep 2026 (`S` alone is 4,655; suburb Sydney is 21,413; City of Sydney region is 22,690). Detail cards print email and phone when the solicitor or firm volunteered them — a 20-row `B` sample that day was **14/20** personal emails and **19/20** phones. Empty-contact in-house rows are skipped when **Only with email or phone** is on. Contacts are never invented.

A single last-name letter can exceed **4,000** matches. Set **Max unique solicitors** unless you intend a full letter or suburb dump.

### Quick start

1. Open the Actor. Leave **Suburb** on `SYDNEY`, or type a last name.
2. Keep **Only with email or phone** on.
3. Leave **Max unique solicitors** at 20 for a first run.
4. Click **Start**. Download JSON, CSV or Excel.

### Ready-made examples (published tasks)

Landing pages go live when you publish each task from Console (see `published-tasks/publication-console.md`). Until then, use the saved task inputs in `published-tasks/inputs/`.

| Example | Best for |
|---------|----------|
| NSW Sydney solicitor emails | Suburb Sydney |
| NSW City of Sydney solicitor emails | Official City of Sydney region |
| NSW Smith solicitor emails | Last name begins with Smith |
| NSW solicitor sample | 20-row try |

### What it extracts

| Category | Fields |
|----------|--------|
| Identity | Solicitor name, preferred name, firm, certificate type, admission date |
| Contact | Email (never invented), firm email when different, telephone, website |
| Location | Street, suburb, state, postcode, official region |
| Provenance | Register URL, solicitor id, country `AU` |

### Input

| Field | Meaning |
|-------|---------|
| `lastName` | Last name on the public form |
| `lastNameSearchOption` | `beginsWith` (default), `contains`, or `exact` |
| `suburb` | Office suburb. Default `SYDNEY`. Clear it for a statewide last-name search |
| `region` | Official ROS region, or `all` |
| `onlyWithContact` | Skip rows with no email and no phone |
| `maxItems` | Unique solicitors. **0** = no numerical cap. **Free plan: 20 / run** |

API-only: `requireEmail` and `requirePhone` are also on the Console form. `proxyConfiguration` is omitted from Console; cloud runs use Apify datacenter proxy when you pass it via API.

If last name, suburb and region are all empty, the Actor walks last names **A–Z**. That is the full public catalogue — always set `maxItems` unless you want tens of thousands of rows.

### Output example

```json
{
  "providerKey": "NSWLS-87245",
  "solicitorId": 87245,
  "contactName": "Alex Smith",
  "facilityName": "Hodge Smith",

  "address": "1 Pitt Street, SYDNEY, NSW, 2000",
  "suburb": "SYDNEY",
  "region": "CITY OF SYDNEY",
  "certificateType": "Principal of a law practice",
  "countryCode": "AU",
  "url": "https://ros.lawsociety.com.au/?tab=lawyer"
}
```

### How to use NSW Law Society solicitor emails

Paste no URLs. Choose a last name or suburb and start. Duplicate solicitor ids are **merged** into one CRM row. The public Register of Solicitors lists names and firms first; each solicitor card supplies the mailbox and phone when published.

### How much does it cost to scrape the NSW Law Society register?

Pay-per-event. Actor start is **$0.00005**. A solicitor **with email** is **$0.00399** on the free pricing tier (lower on paid Apify tiers). Phone-only and no-contact rows cost less.

| Scenario | FREE | Bronze | Silver | Gold |
|----------|------|--------|--------|------|
| 20 solicitors with email | ~$0.08 | ~$0.07 | ~$0.06 | ~$0.05 |
| 1,000 solicitors with email | ~$4.04 | ~$3.54 | ~$3.04 | ~$2.54 |
| 1,000 phone-only rows | ~$2.49 | ~$2.19 | ~$1.89 | ~$1.69 |

HTTP-only — compute stays small. Free Apify plan: **20 solicitors per run**.

### Is it legal to scrape the NSW Law Society register?

This Actor only reads **public** Register of Solicitors fields that the Law Society already shows to any visitor. Treat names, emails and phones as personal information under the **Privacy Act 1988 (Cth)** and the **Australian Privacy Principles**.

**APP 7 (direct marketing)** restricts using personal information for direct marketing unless an exception applies (for example the person would reasonably expect it, or they consented). Do **not** buy or run this Actor to send spam. Your use must also comply with the Law Society website terms, the Spam Act 2003 (Cth) where relevant, and GDPR if you process the data in a way that attracts it.
