## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## L'Etudiant Schools Directory Scraper — Écoles, Formations

The French higher-education landscape as structured data, from **L'Étudiant**'s directory (the reference guide for students in France): business schools, engineering schools, universities, art and design schools, IT and digital schools, health and social schools, apprenticeship centres (CFA), prep classes and more. Filter by **type**, **city**, **département** or **region**; keep only **public** or **private** establishments. Each row carries the **name, status, city, postcode, address and GPS position, student rating and review count**, plus, in detail mode, **phone, website, presentation, the list of programmes by level (Bac+2 to Bac+5) and social links**.

### Who uses it

- **EdTech, student-housing and student-services companies**: build or refresh a national database of schools with coordinates.
- **Schools and education groups**: competitive mapping by city and programme level.
- **B2B sales and marketing**: prospect lists of private schools with websites and phone numbers.
- **Public bodies, consultancies and journalists**: density of establishments and programmes per territory.
- **AI agents**: "engineering schools in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur with a Bac+5 in cybersecurity".

### Pricing

Pay per event: one **school** event per establishment row, one **school detail** event per enriched page, plus a small **Actor start** fee. No proxy overhead.

### Notes

- Contact data is the establishments' public institutional data (switchboard phone, official website). No personal data is collected.
- Ratings are L'Étudiant's authenticated student reviews as displayed on the directory.
- Directory content belongs to L'Étudiant; use the output for research, mapping and prospecting in compliance with the site's terms.

echo '{
  "types": [
    "ecole-de-commerce"
  ],
  "cities": [],
  "departments": [],

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,cyrilfaia/letudiant-fr-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
