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 ## DesignRush Agency Scraper Extract digital agency profiles, ratings, reviews, services, and contact details from [designrush.com](https://www.designrush.com) — the leading B2B agency directory.

Set `maxItems` to control how many records to return per run. **Can I scrape multiple categories in one run?** Use `mode: byUrl` and provide multiple category listing URLs in `agencyUrls` to cover multiple categories in a single run. **What does the `rating` field represent?** It is the average star rating from verified client reviews on DesignRush (scale of 1–5). **Are the hourly rates accurate?** Rates are self-reported by agencies and displayed publicly on DesignRush. They reflect the agency's listed pricing at the time of scraping. **Can I get agencies from a specific city?** DesignRush's location filtering is URL-based. Use `mode: byUrl` with a location-filtered URL from the DesignRush website. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): What data to fetch. ## `category` (type: `string`): Agency service category slug (mode=byCategory). ## `agencyUrls` (type: `array`): Full DesignRush agency profile URLs, e.g. https://www.designrush.com/agency/profile/smartsites ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Alternative input for mode=byUrl.
