## 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".

### FAQs

**Q: Does it require an API key or login?**
A: No. Fortune ranking data is publicly accessible via their static JSON API.

**Q: How many records can I get?**
A: Fortune 500 returns up to 500 companies. Global 500 has 500. Most Powerful Women has 100. Set `maxItems` up to 5000.

**Q: Can I filter by sector or country?**
A: Yes — use `sector` (substring match, e.g. "Technology") and `country` (exact match, e.g. "U.S.").

**Q: What years are supported?**
A: Fortune 500 has data back to 1996. Other lists vary. If a specific year has no data, the latest available year is used.

**Q: Can I scrape any Fortune ranking list?**
A: Yes — use `mode=bySlug` and set `listSlug` to the Fortune URL slug, i.e. the part of the ranking's URL after `fortune.com/ranking/` (e.g. `ai-innovators`, `cyber`, `lgbtq-leaders`, `most-powerful-rising-executives`).

**Q: Why are revenues in billions sometimes and millions other times?**
A: Values ≥ $1 billion show `Unit=B` with a billions value. Smaller values show `Unit=M` with a millions value. This makes both large and small companies easy to work with.

**Q: Are negative profits included?**
A: Yes — loss-making companies show negative `profits` values.
