🛠️ Advanced Configuration

Proxy Settings (Auto-Selection)

{
  "proxy": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": []
  }
}

How it works:

• Empty array = Auto-selection (Recommended) - Apify automatically uses the best available proxies from your plan
• Works with all tiers - Free (datacenter), Starter (datacenter), Pro (datacenter + residential)
• Adaptive performance - Actor automatically adjusts timeouts/concurrency based on proxy availability
• No manual configuration needed - Just enable useApifyProxy: true

Advanced proxy options:

{
  "proxy": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],  // Specify if you want residential only
    "countryCode": "US"  // Optional: Target specific country
  }
}

Performance Settings

The actor automatically optimizes concurrency and timeouts based on your proxy configuration:

With proxies (datacenter or residential):

• Browser concurrency: 2 browsers
• Navigation timeout: 30 seconds
• Handler timeout: 45 seconds
• Retries: 2 attempts

Without proxies (slower but free):

• Browser concurrency: 1 browser
• Navigation timeout: 45 seconds
• Handler timeout: 60 seconds
• Retries: 3 attempts

Manual override (not recommended):

{
  "maxConcurrency": 5
}

Higher = faster but uses more compute units and may cause memory issues.

🐛 Troubleshooting & FAQs

❓ No results found / Very few results

Solution:

• Try broader search terms ("restaurants" instead of "italian restaurants with outdoor seating")
• Increase maxResults parameter to 500+
• Remove strict filters (set minRating: 0, minReviews: 0)
• Try different location formats ("San Francisco" vs "San Francisco, CA" vs "SF Bay Area")

❓ No emails found (0% extraction)

Check these settings:

• ✅ Ensure enrichment.extractEmails: true is enabled
• ✅ Set filters.hasWebsite: true (can't extract emails without websites)
• ✅ Disable fastMode (fast mode skips detail pages where websites are found)
• ⚠️ Some industries have low website adoption (e.g., restaurants, retail)

❓ Actor runs out of memory or times out

Solution:

• Set maxConcurrency: 2 or lower (default is 5, which may be too high)
• Reduce maxResults per query (try 250-500 instead of 1000+)
• Split large searches into multiple smaller runs
• Disable reviews extraction if not needed (extractReviews: false)

❓ All leads scored as "F" grade

Likely cause: Your ICP (Ideal Customer Profile) doesn't match the scraped businesses Solution:

• Check scoring.idealCustomerProfile.industries matches the categories you're scraping
• Adjust industry and location weights to better match your target market
• Use the score breakdown to understand why leads scored low

❓ Proxy errors (SHADER, DATACENTER, RESIDENTIAL)

Solution:

• Set proxy.apifyProxyGroups: [] (empty array) for auto-selection
• Don't specify proxy group names unless you know your plan has them
• Actor will automatically use the best available proxies from your Apify plan

❓ Slow performance / Taking too long

Solution:

• Enable fastMode: true for 10x faster scraping (basic data only)
• Disable email extraction if not needed
• Use datacenter proxies instead of residential (faster, cheaper)
• Check you have enough compute units (actor pauses if account depleted)
