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.

It provides high-quality and reliable data outputs, making it an invaluable asset for businesses seeking insights from vast online resources. ### Features - **Keyword-Based Scraping**: Tailor your data extraction by specifying relevant keywords. - **High Data Quality**: Ensures accurate and consistent results with each run. - **Flexible Item Limit**: Customize the number of items to scrape per session, including unlimited options. - **Efficient Performance**: Optimized for speed and reliability in data collection. - **User-Friendly Configuration**: Easy setup with intuitive input parameters. ### Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | Example | |-------------|---------|----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------| | Keywords | array | Yes | The keywords for the spider. | `["keyword1", "keyword2"]` | | item_limit | integer | No | Maximum items to scrape per actor run. Set to 0 for no limit. | `10` | ### Example Usage #### Input JSON ```json { "Keywords": ["REINHART AUTOMOTIVE GROUP"], "item_limit": 5 } ```` #### Output JSON ```json [ { "plan_name": "#1 REINHART AUTOMOTIVE GROUP 401(K) PLAN", "plan_year": "2009", "ein_pn": "232890950/001", "received": "2010-08-30T15:36:49Z", "sponsor": "REINHART ACQUISITION, INC.", "city_state": "Ephrata, PA", "participants": "0", "assets": null, "actor_id": "4FvQ4CxxSBfNH532T", "run_id": "dDxVJGlLYOKAv1vGV" }, { "plan_name": "#1 REINHART AUTOMOTIVE GROUP 401(K) PLAN", "plan_year": "2010", "ein_pn": "232890950/001", "received": "2011-09-13T15:07:58Z", "sponsor": "REINHART ACQUISITION, INC.", "city_state": "Ephrata, PA", "participants": "0", "assets": null, "actor_id": "4FvQ4CxxSBfNH532T", "run_id": "dDxVJGlLYOKAv1vGV" } ] ``` ### Use Cases - **Market Research and Analysis**: Gather data to understand market trends. - **Competitive Intelligence**: Monitor competitors' activities online. - **Price Monitoring**: Track pricing changes across different platforms. - **Content Aggregation**: Collect relevant content for analysis or reporting. - **Academic Research**: Support research projects with comprehensive data collection. - **Business Automation**: Automate data-driven decision-making processes. ### Installation and Usage 1. Search for "Efast Discovery Spider" in the Apify Store. 2. Click "Try for free" or "Run". 3. Configure input parameters as needed. 4. Click "Start" to begin extraction. 5. Monitor progress in the log. 6. Export results in your preferred format (JSON, CSV, Excel). ### Output Format The output is a JSON array containing objects with fields such as `plan_name`, `plan_year`, `ein_pn`, `received`, `sponsor`, `city_state`, `participants`, `assets`, `actor_id`, and `run_id`. Each object represents a scraped item with detailed information. ### Support For custom/simplified outputs or bug reports, please contact: - Email: support@getdataforme.com - Subject line: "custom support" - Contact form: [Contact Us](https://getdataforme.com/contact/) We're here to help you get the most out of this Actor! # Actor input Schema ## `Keywords` (type: `array`): The keywords for the spider. ## `item_limit` (type: `integer`): Maximum items to scrape per actor run. Set to 0 for no limit. ## Actor input object example ```json { "item_limit": 10 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): Scraped data items from 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 '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("getdataforme/efast-discovery-spider").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); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
