## 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.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.

#### Use Cases

- **Market Research and Analysis**: Gain insights into partnership trends.
- **Competitive Intelligence**: Monitor competitor strategies and maturity levels.
- **Price Monitoring**: Track pricing changes in partnership programs.
- **Content Aggregation**: Collect and organize relevant articles for analysis.
- **Academic Research**: Support studies on business partnerships and maturity models.
- **Business Automation**: Automate data collection for strategic decision-making.

#### Installation and Usage

1. Search for "Partnerstack 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 the following fields:

- **title**: The title of the article or resource.
- **link**: Relative path to the article on Partnerstack.
- **description**: A brief description of the content.
- **image**: URL of an associated image, if available.
- **url**: Full URL to the article.
- **actor\_id**: Unique identifier for the actor run.
- **run\_id**: Unique identifier for the specific run.

#### Error Handling

The spider is designed to handle common web scraping errors gracefully. If a page fails to load or data cannot be extracted, it logs an error message and continues with the next item. Users can review these messages in the log to identify and address issues.

#### Rate Limiting and Best Practices

To ensure optimal performance and avoid being blocked by Partnerstack:

- Respect rate limits by configuring appropriate delays between requests.
- Use a reasonable `item_limit` to prevent overloading the server.
- Monitor logs for any rate-limiting warnings or errors.

#### Limitations and Considerations

- The spider is dependent on the structure of Partnerstack's website; changes may affect data extraction.
- Ensure compliance with Partnerstack's terms of service when using this tool.
- Custom queries should be tested to ensure they return relevant results.
