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.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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.

Template: listing-pagination v1. ## Coletor de Negócios do Bbb > Título para publicação na Apify Store (convenção em inglês do marketplace): **Bbb Businesses Scraper** ### 🎯 Propósito Actor que extrai automaticamente **negócios** do Bbb (bbb.org) e entrega em um output padronizado, pronto para alimentar workflows de análise, CRM ou agentes de IA. Elimina o trabalho manual recorrente de scraping + normalização para esse alvo. ### 📊 Tamanho da oportunidade | Métrica | Valor | O que significa | |---|---|---| | Score composto | **49.0/100** (rank #5) | Quanto mais próximo de 100, mais forte o sinal combinado. Teto atual ~65 sem reviews. | | Pain Rate Index (PRI) | **938/mês** — recorrência MUITO alta — uso contínuo | Taxa agregada de dor detectada (reclamações + perguntas + esforço manual). | | Sinais coletados | **32** em **7** fontes distintas | Menos fontes = sinal mais frágil. Ideal ≥3 fontes. | | Demanda relativa | 10.0/10 | Volume de uso observado no Apify Store para alvos similares. | | Supply gap | 1.2/10 | Quão vazio está o mercado — 10/10 = zero competidor, 0/10 = saturado. | | Competição | 10.0/10 (inverso) | 10/10 = sem competidor forte; 0/10 = mercado dominado. | | Qualidade do gap | 1.2/10 | Quão ruim é o actor existente — quanto maior, mais espaço pra entrar. | ### 🔎 Justificativa — por que é oportunidade real - **Pain Rate forte (PRI=938/mês)** — sinais de dor genuína detectados acima do threshold operacional (20). Indica usuários ativos procurando solução. - **32 sinais em 7 fontes distintas** — sinal corroborado (não é ruído de uma única comunidade). - **Supply gap baixo (1.2/10)** — mercado saturado. Só entrar se a diferenciação for clara (qualidade, preço, evento MCP). ### 💰 Precificação sugerida (PPE) - **Preço por resultado:** US$ 0.010 - **Evento cobrável:** lead extraído com contato válido - **Justificativa do preço:** Monetização baixa (0.0/10) — considere rodar FREE tier primeiro para captura de base + upgrade para PPE após validar demanda. - **Receita bruta se atingir PRI projetado:** ~US$ 0.094/mês (PRI × 0.01 conversion × preço, estimativa conservadora) ### ⚙️ Input do Actor - **`searchQuery`** (string, obrigatório): Query or term to extract from bbb.org. _(ex: "Bbb Businesses Scraper")_ - **`maxResults`** (integer, opcional): Cap on result count. Defaults to 100. _(ex: 100)_ - **`proxyConfiguration`** (object, opcional): Apify proxy configuration (typically RESIDENTIAL). ### 📦 Output esperado - **`id`** (string) — Identificador único da entidade extraída. - **`url`** (string) — URL canônica da entidade. - **`title`** (string) — Título / nome principal. - **`email`** (string) — Email público (quando disponível). - **`phone`** (string) — Telefone público (quando disponível). ### 🚫 Desistir (kill criteria) CAC > $60 com retenção 30d < 30% → kill; Rating incumbente sobe para 4.8+ → reavalie defensibilidade ### 🏁 Próximos passos 1. **Revisar este brief** — ajustar escopo, preço ou kill criteria se necessário. 2. **Aprovar** — um actor_generated row será criado automaticamente. 3. **Dry-run** no ActorPublishPanel — gera arquivos em disco SEM subir pra GitHub/Apify. 4. **Publicar** — requer confirmação de override se score < threshold (60). ### 🔒 Bloqueadores Sem bloqueadores conhecidos. ⚠️ Score abaixo do threshold 60 — publicar requer override explícito no ActorPublishPanel. ### Casos de uso - Coletar dados estruturados de bbb.org - Enriquecer base de CRM com informação atualizada - Pipeline de agentes de IA que precisa de dados frescos ### Input | Campo | Tipo | Obrigatório | Descrição | |---|---|---|---| | `searchQuery` | string | ✅ | O que procurar no site alvo. | | `maxResults` | integer | — | Limite superior. Valores altos aumentam tempo de run. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | — | Apify RESIDENTIAL recomendado. | #### Exemplo de input ```json { "searchQuery": "example", "maxResults": 10 } ```` ### Output Cada item no Dataset: ```json { "_extractedAt": "2026-04-18T00:00:00.000Z", "_actorVersion": "0.1", "title": "Example item", "name": "", "url": "https://bbb.org/items/1", "telephone": "", "address": "
" } ``` ### Pricing — Pay Per Event | Evento | Preço | |---|---| | `run-started` | $0.02 | | `item-extracted` | $0.005 | ### Integração com agentes de IA (MCP) Compatível com [Apify MCP Server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp). O `dataset_schema.json` garante output tipado e estável entre runs. ### Changelog - **0.1** (2026-04-24T23:00:27.308Z) — primeira versão gerada pela Factory. # Actor input Schema ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): O que procurar no site alvo. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Limite superior. Valores altos aumentam tempo de run. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Apify RESIDENTIAL recomendado. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQuery": "plumbing", "maxResults": 5, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
