## 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.

A phone number tells you how to call a business. It doesn't tell you whether the company is actually registered, how long it's been running, or how many people work there. This Actor pulls Belgian business listings from [Pages d'Or](https://www.pagesdor.be) and [Gouden Gids](https://www.goudengids.be), the same nationwide directory in French or Dutch, with VAT numbers and official KBO government register status attached to every lead.

### 🚀 Why use it

**"I build B2B lead lists for Belgium."** Wallonia and Flanders speak different languages on the same directory. I needed one tool that covers both, not two separate scrapers with different fields.

**"I qualify leads before handing them to sales."** A phone number isn't enough. I need to know the company is actually registered and active before someone calls it.

**"I track new businesses opening in a category or city."** I don't want to re-run the same search every week and manually diff the results myself.

### ❓ FAQ

**Does this Actor need a Pages d'Or or Gouden Gids account?**
No. Every field comes from the site's own public pages. There's no login, credential, or key input anywhere in this Actor.

**What's the difference between Pages d'Or and Gouden Gids?**
Same nationwide business directory, published in two languages. Pages d'Or serves French-speaking Belgium, Gouden Gids serves Dutch-speaking Belgium. Set the `language` input to choose either edition; the underlying company data is the same.

**Is the KBO status field verified?**
The status and register link come directly from the directory's own published data, which links to Belgium's official KBO government register. Always confirm directly with the KBO for anything compliance-critical.

**Can I get alerted only about new businesses, not the whole search history?**
Yes. Turn on monitor mode and schedule the Actor to run periodically. Each run after the first only pushes listings new since the previous run.

**Is this legal?**
This Actor only extracts publicly available information already shown to any visitor of the directory's site. Always review the target site's terms of service before using the data commercially.

# Actor input Schema

## `mode` (type: `string`):

Browse search results, or fetch full detail (VAT, KBO status, opening info) for specific listing URLs.

## `directUrls` (type: `array`):

Direct pagesdor.be or goudengids.be listing URLs to fetch full detail for. Only used in detail mode.

## `language` (type: `string`):

French coverage via pagesdor.be, or Dutch coverage via goudengids.be. Same underlying data, bilingual Belgium.

## `keyword` (type: `string`):

Business category or search term (e.g. restaurant, electricien, plombier). Only used in search mode.

## `location` (type: `string`):

Belgian city or province to search in. Leave blank for Belgium-wide search. Only used in search mode.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

A real browser session is required to load these sites. Datacenter (the default) works reliably and is far cheaper; switch to Residential only if a large run starts hitting blocks.

## `monitorMode` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, only pushes listings not seen in a previous run for the same keyword and location, so a scheduled run acts as a new-listing alert feed.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many records. Search mode fetches each listing's own detail page, so keep this modest for a quick run.
