## 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.

# README

## Clinical Trial Sponsor Scraper — Pharma & Biotech Leads

**Scrape clinical trial sponsors from ClinicalTrials.gov by condition, phase, and status — sponsor name, trial title, sponsor type, and status. Build targeted pharma, biotech, and CRO B2B lead lists.**

No API key, no signup, no subscription — pay only for what you scrape. Clean, structured output ready for CSV, JSON, Excel, or direct API export into your own pipeline.

### What you get per record

- Sponsor name
- Sponsor type (industry/academic/gov)
- Trial title
- Condition
- Phase
- Trial status

### Why use this scraper

- **Scrape clinicaltrials.gov** — fast, structured, reliable.
- **Clinical trial sponsor leads** — fast, structured, reliable.
- **Pharma b2b leads** — fast, structured, reliable.
- **Biotech lead generation** — fast, structured, reliable.
- **Find trial sponsors** — fast, structured, reliable.

### Use cases

- **Pharma & biotech B2B sales** — reach active trial sponsors
- **CRO & clinical-services outreach** — find companies running trials
- **Life-science recruiting** — sponsors are hiring
- **Investment research** — track trial activity by condition
- **Lead generation** — sponsor lists by therapeutic area

### Input

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `condition` | Disease / condition (e.g. diabetes) |
| `sponsorType` | Sponsor type filter |
| `status` | Trial status filter |
| `phase` | Trial phase filter |
| `maxResults` | How many trials to return |

### Output

Every result is a clean structured record. Export the full dataset as **CSV, JSON, or Excel** from the Apify console, or pull it via the Apify API straight into your CRM, spreadsheet, or data pipeline.

### How it works

This actor pulls data directly from the source, structures it into clean rows, and pushes each result to the dataset. It runs on Apify's infrastructure — reliable, scheduled if you want it, and pay-per-result so you only pay for data you actually get. No accounts to manage, no rate-limit headaches.

### Pricing

Pay-per-result via the Apify Store. No monthly subscription, no minimums — run it once or schedule it daily, you're only charged for the results returned.

### FAQ

**Do I need an API key or account?** No. Just provide your input and run it.

**Can I schedule it to run automatically?** Yes — use Apify Schedules to run it hourly, daily, or weekly and get fresh data on autopilot.

**What formats can I export?** CSV, JSON, Excel, or via the Apify API.

**Can I integrate it into my own app?** Yes — call it via the Apify API and pull results directly into your pipeline.

**Is the data accurate and fresh?** Data is pulled live from the source on each run, so it reflects what's available at run time.

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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("gocreative.ai/clinical-trial-sponsor-finder").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();
