## Pricing

from $105.00 / 1,000 account returneds

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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

## Competitor Install Base

Accounts running a competitor's product today, with public proof (case studies, reviews, job posts).

### What you get

Companies that run the competitor's product today, each with the public proof (case study, review, job post) and the buying committee when found.

### How it works

We read the competitor's public customer evidence and job posts that name its product. Results someone asked for in the last 24 hours come back at once, at the same price.

### Pricing

| Event | Price | When |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `search` | USD 1.00 | Once per domain, even when no account is found |
| `account` | USD 0.15 | Per account returned with its public proof |

Example: one competitor domain that returns 40 accounts = 1 + 6 = USD 7.

### Timing

A fresh run usually takes 10 minutes to a few hours, depending on how much there is to read.

### Use cases

- Build a displacement list: accounts that already buy your category.
- Time outreach around renewals with public proof in hand.
- Size a competitor's footprint by segment.

### Input

| Field | Notes |
| --- | --- |
| `domains` | One or more domains (a competitor's domain), up to 10 per run. Each one runs in parallel. |

```json
{ "domains": ["gong.io"] }
```

### Output

One row per result. `input_domain` tells you which domain it came from.

```json
{
  "input_domain": "competitor.com",
  "account": "Example Corp",
  "proof": "Public case study describing their rollout",
  "buying_committee": "CISO, Head of IAM",
  "proof_url": "https://example.com/case-study"
}
```

### Clay and other tools

Call the actor from Clay's Apify integration, Make, Zapier or the Apify API, and map the dataset rows to your table. Results for the same domain in the last 24 hours come back at once, at the same price.

### Data

Built only from public sources: company websites, published case studies and reviews, public posts
and job ads. No emails are returned.

### FAQ

**What do I enter?**
The domain of the competitor whose customers you want to find.

**How much does it cost?**
USD 1 per domain plus USD 0.15 per account returned. 40 accounts cost USD 7.

**How do I know the account really uses the product?**
Every account comes with its public proof: a case study, a review or a job post that names the product.

# Actor input Schema

## `domains` (type: `array`):

One or more domains (a competitor's domain), up to 10 per run. A website URL works too. Each domain runs in parallel.

## `domain` (type: `string`):

Kept for older integrations. Use Domains instead.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "domains": [
    "gong.io"
  ]
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

One row per result in the default dataset.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "domains": [
        "gong.io"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("david15999/competitor-install-base").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "domains": ["gong.io"] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("david15999/competitor-install-base").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "domains": [
    "gong.io"
  ]
}' |
apify call david15999/competitor-install-base --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,david15999/competitor-install-base"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
