## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Company Commercial Signal Radar

Monitor a company's public homepage, pricing page, and careers page across runs. The Actor stores a persistent baseline and returns structured events with the before/after evidence that caused each event.

### Observable event taxonomy

- `POSITIONING_CHANGED` — title or main heading changed
- `CTA_CHANGED` — visible commercial calls to action changed
- `PRICING_PAGE_CHANGED` — visible pricing-related evidence changed
- `PRODUCT_PAGE_ADDED` / `PRODUCT_PAGE_REMOVED` — product, platform, solution, or service links changed
- `CAREERS_ACTIVITY_CHANGED` — visible careers/job links changed

Names are intentionally conservative. A new product link is evidence of a new public page, not proof that revenue, headcount, or market position changed. This Actor does not use an LLM to turn a small text diff into an unsupported business claim.

### Quick start

```json
{
  "targets": [{
    "company": "Apify",
    "url": "https://apify.com/",
    "pricingUrl": "https://apify.com/pricing",
    "careersUrl": "https://apify.com/jobs"
  }]
}
```

Run the same input again later or schedule it. A failed or incomplete fetch produces a warning and never replaces the last good baseline.

### Security and source policy

Only public HTTP(S) pages on standard ports are accepted. URLs containing credentials and addresses resolving to loopback, private, link-local, or reserved networks are rejected; redirects are checked again. Responses have time and size limits. The Actor does not sign in, solve CAPTCHAs, use private sources, inspect secrets, profile people, or automate outreach.

### Pricing

The intended pricing is pay per successfully checked company, with platform usage included. Baselines, events, warnings, and summaries are included. Exact current pricing is shown on the Store page, and the Actor stops at the user's maximum run charge.

### Limitations

Client-rendered content may not appear because this Actor deliberately avoids an expensive browser. Text extraction is deterministic and may miss visually rendered or API-loaded content. Changed navigation can create link events without a product launch. Pricing evidence changes are not interpreted as a specific price increase or decrease unless the visible evidence itself makes that comparison possible. Always open the linked page before acting.

# Actor input Schema

## `targets` (type: `array`):

Public HTTP(S) pages only. Add explicit pricing and careers pages when they are important.

## `maxCompanies` (type: `integer`):

Hard cap on companies fetched and compared in one run.

## `resetBaseline` (type: `boolean`):

Capture current pages without comparing them with stored state.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "targets": [
    {
      "company": "Apify",
      "url": "https://apify.com/",
      "pricingUrl": "https://apify.com/pricing",
      "careersUrl": "https://apify.com/jobs"
    }
  ],
  "maxCompanies": 10,
  "resetBaseline": false
}
```

# 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 = {
    "targets": [
        {
            "company": "Apify",
            "url": "https://apify.com/",
            "pricingUrl": "https://apify.com/pricing",
            "careersUrl": "https://apify.com/jobs"
        }
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("egeusta/company-commercial-signal-radar").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 = { "targets": [{
            "company": "Apify",
            "url": "https://apify.com/",
            "pricingUrl": "https://apify.com/pricing",
            "careersUrl": "https://apify.com/jobs",
        }] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("egeusta/company-commercial-signal-radar").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}")

```bash
echo '{
  "targets": [
    {
      "company": "Apify",
      "url": "https://apify.com/",
      "pricingUrl": "https://apify.com/pricing",

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,egeusta/company-commercial-signal-radar"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
