## 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

## NZ Lawyer Emails · Law Society Find a Lawyer

Export **New Zealand lawyers** with the **email and phone printed** on the New Zealand Law Society [Find a Lawyer](https://www.lawsociety.org.nz/for-the-public/find-a-lawyer/) register. One row per lawyer. Public pages only.

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

### Who is this for?

| You are… | Typical goal | Suggested setup |
|----------|--------------|-----------------|
| Referral / legal-tech marketplace | NZ counsel with a mailbox | Family (`FM`), only with contact |
| Corporate / insurance panel | Company and commercial lawyers | Company/Commercial (`CC`) |
| SDR / agency (New Zealand) | Outbound list by city | Auckland or Wellington |
| Family-law product | Practitioners who publish email | Family + require email |

**What you get by default.** Lawyer name, firm, published mailbox, NZ phone, website when listed, region/suburb, practice ticks, register URL.

**Honest coverage.** The public Find a Lawyer catalogue printed **5,808** lawyers on 7 Sep 2026 (10 per page). Profile pages print email and phone when the lawyer volunteered them — smoke that day was **4/4** emails+phones on sampled register pages. Contacts are never invented.

### Quick start

1. Open the Actor. Leave **Area of law** on Family, or pick another official filter.
2. Optionally set **Region** (Auckland, Wellington, …).
3. Keep **Only with email or phone** on.
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 |
|---------|----------|
| NZLS family-law lawyer emails | Family practice (`FM`) |
| NZLS company-law lawyer emails | Company/Commercial (`CC`) |
| NZLS Auckland lawyer emails | Auckland region |
| NZLS lawyer sample | 20-row try |

### What it extracts

| Category | Fields |
|----------|--------|
| Identity | Lawyer name, preferred name, workplace title, firm, region |
| Contact | Email (never invented), telephone, website |
| Practice | Public area ticks |
| Provenance | Register URL, country `NZ` |

### Input

| Field | Meaning |
|-------|---------|
| `practiceArea` | Official area code (`FM` Family, `CC` Company/Commercial, …) or `all` |
| `region` | NZLS region select value, or `all` |
| `keyword` | Name search on the public form |
| `onlyWithContact` | Skip rows with no email and no phone |
| `maxItems` | Unique lawyers. **0** = no numerical cap. **Free plan: 20 / run** |

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

### Output example

```json
{
  "providerKey": "NZLS-SZE-MAN-STELLA-CHAN",
  "contactName": "Sze (Stella) Man Stella Chan",
  "preferredName": "Stella",
  "workplace": "Partner at Forest Harrison",
  "facilityName": "Forest Harrison",
  "contactEmail": "stella@forestharrison.co.nz",
  "contactPhone": "09 308 0080",
  "address": "Auckland, Downtown Auckland",
  "practiceAreas": "Family, Property",
  "countryCode": "NZ",
  "url": "https://www.lawsociety.org.nz/register/sze-man-stella-chan/?glh=1"
}
```

### How to use New Zealand Law Society lawyer emails

Paste no URLs. Choose a practice and start. Duplicate register slugs are **merged** into one CRM row. Listing pages use public `?page=N` (10 lawyers per page). Profile pages under `/register/{slug}/` supply the mailbox and phone.

### How much does it cost to scrape the New Zealand Law Society directory?

Pay-per-event. Actor start is **$0.00005**. A lawyer **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 lawyers with email | ~$0.08 | ~$0.07 | ~$0.06 | ~$0.05 |
| 1,000 lawyers 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 lawyers per run**.

### Is it legal to scrape the New Zealand Law Society directory?

This Actor only reads **public** Find a Lawyer HTML. Treat emails and phones as personal data. Your use must comply with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020, GDPR where it applies, and the Law Society terms. Do not use the dataset for spam.
