## 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).

### How It Works

Clutch.co is protected by Cloudflare, so this scraper uses **curl\_cffi with Chrome TLS impersonation** over **Apify RESIDENTIAL proxy** to reliably fetch profile HTML. It then extracts:

1. **Core data** from JSON-LD `LocalBusiness` structured data
2. **Services, focus, industries, clientSizes** from embedded `window.chartPie` and `window.serviceLines` JavaScript globals
3. **Tagline, verification, employees, hourly rate, min project size** from DOM selectors and regex patterns

### FAQ

**Q: Why is RESIDENTIAL proxy required?**
Clutch blocks datacenter IPs with Cloudflare challenges. Apify RESIDENTIAL proxy bypasses this reliably. The proxy is hardcoded in the actor — no configuration needed.

**Q: How many reviews can I get?**
Up to 10 recent reviews per profile, parsed from JSON-LD structured data. The full review count is in the `reviewCount` field.

**Q: What if a profile URL is invalid?**
Invalid URLs (redirects to listing or homepage) are detected and skipped with a warning — no junk records are saved.

**Q: Can I scrape category listings?**
Not in this version — this scraper focuses on individual profile pages. Provide a list of profile URLs directly.

### Use Cases

- **B2B lead generation** — discover high-rated agencies by service line
- **Competitive intelligence** — compare pricing, size, and specialization
- **Market research** — analyze service / industry / client size trends
- **Partnership discovery** — find verified agencies in specific industries
- **Procurement & vendor research** — gather structured data for RFQs
