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 ## Barnivore Vegan Alcohol Scraper Scrape [Barnivore](https://www.barnivore.com), the free, community-maintained directory of vegan-friendly beer, wine, cider and liquor. Find out which drinks are vegan, which brewery/winery/distillery makes them, and get direct company contact info — all without an account or API key. ### What You Get For every product: name, brand/company (brewery, winery, or distillery), category (beer/wine/cider/liquor), vegan-friendliness status, company address/country, website, phone, email, community verification notes (who last verified the status and roughly when), and a direct link to the product page. ### Modes | Mode | Description | |---|---| | `search` | Free-text search across all categories by product or brand name (e.g. "guinness", "heineken", "jack daniel"). Barnivore's search matches exact substrings and does not stem plurals, so "jack daniel" finds results but "jack daniels" does not. | | `byCategory` | Browse an entire category — Beer, Wine, Cider, or Liquor — optionally narrowed to one country. | | `byCountry` | Browse every product made by companies in a given country, across all categories (or one category if specified). | ### Input - **mode** — `search`, `byCategory`, or `byCountry`. - **searchQuery** — free-text product/brand name (mode=search). - **category** — `beer`, `wine`, `cider`, or `liquor`. Required for `byCategory`; optional filter for `search`/`byCountry`. - **country** — company country, e.g. `United States`, `Germany`, `Belgium`. Required for `byCountry`; optional filter for `search`. - **veganStatus** — filter to only `vegan`, `not_vegan`, or `unknown` products. - **fetchDetails** — visit each product's detail page for full company contact info and verification notes (default `true`). Turn off for a faster, lighter run. - **maxItems** — maximum number of records to return (1-200, default 20). ### Sample Output ```json { "productId": "34727", "name": "Guinness", "company": "Guinness", "category": "beer", "veganStatus": "vegan", "companyAddress": "Ireland", "companyWebsite": "https://www.guinness.com/en", "companyEmail": "info@guinness.com", "companyUrl": "https://www.barnivore.com/beer/26/guinness", "verificationNotes": "Update (October 2025) re: Rockshore ...", "verifiedBy": "Jeroen", "verifiedAt": "About 6 years ago", "productUrl": "https://www.barnivore.com/products/34727-guinness", "sourceUrl": "https://www.barnivore.com/search?q=guinness", "scrapedAt": "2026-07-01T12:00:00+00:00", "recordType": "product" } ```` ### FAQs **Do I need an account, cookies, or API key?** No. Barnivore is a fully public directory — this actor uses no login, no cookies, and no paid proxy. **What does "vegan status" mean?** Barnivore tracks whether a beer/wine/cider/liquor is made without animal-derived ingredients or processing aids (e.g. gelatin, isinglass, casein, honey). Status is one of `vegan`, `not_vegan`, or `unknown` (not yet confirmed by the community). **Can I get numeric ratings like RateBeer or BeerAdvocate?** No — Barnivore does not publish star ratings or review counts. It focuses purely on vegan-friendliness verification. RateBeer's domain is no longer registered and BeerAdvocate actively blocks automated access, so this actor surfaces the closest freely-accessible, reliable alternative: real vegan-certification data for the same beer/wine/spirits universe. **Does this work for every country?** Yes — Barnivore lists products from over 80 countries and territories. Use the `country` filter with the company's country name (e.g. `England`, `Brasil`, `Czech Republic` — Barnivore uses its own spelling conventions per entry). **Are `companyWebsite` links always live?** `companyWebsite` is a third-party contact link maintained by the Barnivore community, not a URL this actor generates. Every `productUrl` (the Barnivore page itself) is guaranteed reachable, but a small brewery/winery's own website can occasionally go offline over time — the same real-world link decay you'd see in any directory of small producers. **Where does `companyEmail` come from?** Barnivore publishes each company's contact email on the product detail page (Cloudflare-obfuscated to deter scraper spam bots; this actor decodes it using Cloudflare's own published encoding scheme). Present whenever the company has a contact email on file. **Is a phone number included?** `companyPhone` is the producer's contact phone number as listed on the Barnivore detail page, in whatever local format the community entered it (e.g. `(512) 593-1262`, `0191 447 6543`). It's included whenever the company has a phone number on file. **What do `verifiedBy` / `verifiedAt` mean?** Barnivore's vegan status for each product is manually checked by a community volunteer. `verifiedBy` is that volunteer's username; `verifiedAt` is Barnivore's own relative-time label (e.g. "About 6 years ago") — Barnivore does not expose an absolute verification date. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): What to fetch. ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Free-text product or brand/brewery name (mode=search). ## `category` (type: `string`): Alcohol category.
