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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Local Business Lead Finder Find any kind of local business — dentists, plumbers, gyms, restaurants, real estate agents, lawyers — by category and city. Output is **clean, deduplicated, ready-to-import** lead data. ### What you get (per business) | Field | Example | |---|---| | `name` | `Bright Smile Dental` | | `category` | `Dentist` | | `phone` | `(512) 555-2000` | | `email` | `office@brightsmile.com` | | `all_emails` | `["office@…", "billing@…"]` | | `website` | `https://brightsmile.com` | | `address` | `4502 Burnet Rd, Austin, TX 78756` | | `city`, `state` | `Austin`, `TX` | | `rating` | `4.8` | | `reviews_count` | `212` | | `google_url` | `https://www.google.com/maps/place/…` | | `search_term` | `dentist` | ### Inputs ```json { "searchTerms": ["dentist", "orthodontist"], "locations": ["Austin, TX", "Dallas, TX"], "maxPerSearch": 100, "requireEmail": true, "minRating": 4.0 } ```` ### Use cases - **B2B cold outreach** to local businesses - **Local agencies** prospecting (SEO, web design, social media management) - **Sales reps** building territory lists - **Researchers** comparing markets by category density ### How we compare Generic Google Maps scrapers return everything — including duplicates and rating-less listings. We: - **Dedupe by Place ID** so the same business never appears twice - **Optionally enforce an email requirement** (kills 70% of garbage) - **Filter by minimum rating** so you target real, established businesses ### Pricing Pay-per-result. See the Pricing tab for current rate. # Actor input Schema ## `searchTerms` (type: `array`): Business categories. E.g., \['dentist', 'plumber', 'real estate agent']. ## `locations` (type: `array`): City + state strings. E.g., \['Austin, TX', 'Dallas, TX']. ## `maxPerSearch` (type: `integer`): Cap on returned leads per (category × location) combination. ## `requireEmail` (type: `boolean`): Strict filter: drop businesses whose contact page has no email. ## `minRating` (type: `number`): Drop businesses below this star rating. 0 = no filter. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchTerms": [ "plumber" ], "locations": [ "Austin, TX" ], "maxPerSearch": 50, "requireEmail": false, "minRating": 0 } ``` # 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 = { "searchTerms": [ "plumber" ], "locations": [ "Austin, TX" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("gocreative.ai/local-biz-lead-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(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
