## 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.

# README

## GoWork Scraper (FR, DE & ES)

Extract employer reviews and structured company profiles from GoWork's French, German, and Spanish platforms — `gowork.fr`, `gowork.de`, and `es.gowork.com` — in a single run.

### What It Does

This actor scrapes public employer pages from GoWork and returns one row per company containing flattened company metadata, nested review threads with first-level replies, JSON-LD organization snapshots, and OpenGraph page metadata.

### Features

- **Three regions in one actor** — feed URLs from `gowork.fr`, `gowork.de`, or `es.gowork.com`
- **Two entry-point types** — homepages (auto-discovers featured companies) or direct company profile URLs
- **Rich company data** — name, address, phone, website, employee count, founding year, industry, opening hours, rating histogram, logo, and cover image
- **Nested review threads** — every review with rating, author, date, pros, cons, position, status — plus first-level replies
- **Filter text-only comments** — optional toggle to return only star-rated reviews
- **No nulls** — every output field has a typed default; missing values become empty strings, zeros, or empty lists
- **Discovery traceability** — each record records how it was found (direct or homepage) and the source URL
- **High reliability** — uses Camoufox (anti-detect Firefox) with country-matched residential proxies (FR IPs for gowork.fr, DE IPs for gowork.de, ES IPs for es.gowork.com) to reliably bypass Cloudflare protection
- **Balanced region coverage** — when multiple region homepages are provided, company URLs are interleaved so tight `maxItems` caps yield fair coverage across regions

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `startUrls` | array (required) | — | GoWork URLs to scrape |
| `goworkOnlyRatedReviews` | boolean | false | Exclude text-only comments; keep only rated threads |
| `maxItems` | integer | 10000 | Maximum company records per run |
| `maxConcurrency` | integer | 100 | Maximum concurrent requests |
| `minConcurrency` | integer | 1 | Minimum concurrent requests |
| `maxRequestRetries` | integer | 100 | Retries per failed request |

#### Example Input

**Recommended: Homepage discovery (all 3 regions):**
```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {"url": "https://www.gowork.fr/"},
    {"url": "https://www.gowork.de/"},
    {"url": "https://es.gowork.com/"}
  ],
  "goworkOnlyRatedReviews": false,
  "maxItems": 100
}
````

Each homepage exposes ~60 featured company URLs. Use this to bulk-scrape profiles across regions.

**Direct company URLs:**

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {"url": "https://www.gowork.fr/15-production-boulogne-billancourt"},
    {"url": "https://www.gowork.de/apetito-ag"},
    {"url": "https://es.gowork.com/adsmurai-barcelona"}
  ],
  "maxItems": 3
}
```

### Output

### Use Cases

- **Employer reputation monitoring** across French, German, and Spanish markets
- **Sentiment analysis** on review text, pros, and cons
- **Competitive intelligence** with firmographic enrichment (employees, founding year, industry)
- **Lead generation** using company contact info (phone, website, email)
- **Review-trend tracking** via rating histograms and timestamps

### FAQ

**Q: Which GoWork sites are supported?**
A: `gowork.fr` (France), `gowork.de` (Germany), and `es.gowork.com` (Spain).

**Q: Do I need to configure a proxy?**
A: No — the actor uses Apify Residential proxy automatically.

**Q: Can I scrape only reviews with star ratings?**
A: Yes — enable `goworkOnlyRatedReviews` to exclude text-only comments.

**Q: What happens when I provide a homepage URL?**
A: The actor discovers all featured company profile URLs on that page (~60 per region) and scrapes each one.

**Q: Can I mix regions in a single run?**
A: Yes. When you provide homepage URLs for multiple regions, company URLs from each region are interleaved so tight `maxItems` caps yield balanced coverage.

**Q: How reliable is the scraping?**
A: The actor uses Camoufox (anti-detect Firefox) with country-matched residential proxies to bypass Cloudflare's bot protection. Real-world success rate is ~100% on Apify's platform.

**Q: Are replies to reviews included?**
A: Yes — first-level replies are returned nested inside each review thread.

**Q: Are any output fields null?**
A: No — every field has a typed default (empty string, 0, empty list, or empty object).

**Q: What if a company page has no reviews?**
A: The `reviews` array will be empty, and company firmographic fields will still be extracted.
