## 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/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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

## Yelp Review Analysis for Local Business Owners: From Reviews to an Action Plan

Turns hundreds of **Yelp reviews** into an **owner-ready action plan** in seconds. It does not just tell you what customers think; it tells you what to do about it: prioritized fixes, quick wins, and the single critical move to lift your rating this week.

### What it does
Connect the output of a review-scraper (Google Maps, Trustpilot, Amazon, App Store) or your own review list, and the actor produces:

- **Overall sentiment** + star-rating distribution
- **Recurring themes** (frequency + positive/negative)
- **Top complaints and praises**
- **🎯 Action plan** — prioritized, concrete steps (each with benefit/cost + expected gain)
- **⚡ Quick wins** — low-effort, high-impact moves
- **The single critical step for this week**
- **Competitor opportunities** + a short executive summary

### Why it's different
Most review tools just hand you a raw sentiment score. This actor **behaves like a consultant who makes decisions**: it links every finding to an actionable step. Managers don't read the report and ask "so what do I do?" — the plan is already in their hands.

### Input
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `reviews` | The review list: plain strings OR `{text, rating}` objects. A review-scraper dataset can be connected directly. |
| `businessName` | Business name (used as report context) |
| `language` | Output language of the analysis content: English / Türkçe / Deutsch / Español / Français |
| `model` | (Advanced) LLM model — the default is fast and economical |

### Output
Delivered in two layers:

- **Dataset (table):** Prioritized **action plan** rows — columns: `Priority` · `Issue / Area` · `Risk of Inaction` · `Risk Level` · `Benefit` · `Cost` · `Benefit/Cost` · `Score` · `Recommended Action`. Scan, sort, and export directly.
- **Report (key-value store → `MANAGER_REPORT`):** Full narrative + machine-readable data with English keys: `overall_sentiment` · `themes` · `top_complaints` · `top_praises` · `competitor_opportunities` · `critical_step` · `quick_wins` · `executive_summary` · `rating_distribution` · `review_count` · `all_actions` (including more than what is shown in the main table).

### How to use
1. Collect your reviews with a review-scraper (or paste in your own list).
2. Connect the output to this actor as `reviews`.
3. Set the business name and language → **Start**.
4. Grab your action plan from the Dataset tab.

### Pricing (Pay-Per-Event)
You only pay for what you use: per run + per 100 reviews processed + per generated report. No monthly subscription.

# Actor input Schema

## `reviews` (type: `array`):

The Yelp business reviews to analyze. Provide an array of plain strings OR {text, rating} objects. You can connect a Yelp review-scraper's dataset output directly (map the review text field to 'text').
## `businessName` (type: `string`):

The business name. Used in the report title and as context for the analysis.
## `domainContext` (type: `string`):

Local-business context that guides theme extraction. Leave as-is for restaurants/local venues; edit only for a different business type.
## `language` (type: `string`):

Language of the analysis content (sentiment and action text).
## `model` (type: `string`):

LLM model. The default is cheap and fast; pick a stronger model for deeper analysis.
## `maxAksiyon` (type: `integer`):

How many prioritized actions to show in the main table (for focus). All of them are always kept in the report (MANAGER_REPORT). Range 3-10.
