## 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.

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).

### 🚀 What Does This Actor Do?

Traditional email finders often fail when encountering modern JavaScript-rendered websites (React, Vue, Angular, Next.js), Cloudflare email protection ciphers (`data-cfemail`), or obfuscated numeric HTML entities. This Actor solves these challenges.

***

### 💼 Use Cases

- **🎯 B2B Lead Generation & Sales Prospecting:** Convert raw domain lists or Google Maps exports into actionable prospect lists with direct emails and social profiles.
- **📬 Cold Email Outreach Campaigns:** Gather clean, deliverable corporate email addresses for sales sequences, link building, and PR outreach.
- **📊 CRM Database Enrichment:** Automatically backfill missing social media profiles (LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Instagram, Facebook) and emails into HubSpot, Salesforce, or Airtable.
- **🔍 Market Research & Competitor Intelligence:** Audit digital footprints and social media channels across hundreds of niche businesses in minutes.
- **🏢 Agency Client Onboarding:** Rapidly audit client websites and identify broken or missing contact pathways.

***

    "https://www.intrinsichr.com.au",
    "http://www.tenhats.com.au",
    "https://example.com"
  ]
}
```

### ❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

##### Q: Do I need to buy proxies to run this Actor?

**A:** No. The Actor includes built-in HTTP/2 connection pooling, TLS fingerprint impersonation, and direct stealth CDP browser automation. You do not need to configure or purchase paid proxy packages.

##### Q: How does the Actor handle sites that hide emails behind Cloudflare?

**A:** The Actor automatically detects Cloudflare email protection tags (`data-cfemail` and `/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#`) and mathematically reverses the XOR cipher to reconstruct the plain-text email address.

##### Q: What happens if a website does not have any email published?

**A:** The Actor writes an explicit, user-friendly confirmation message in the `Email` column:
`"No direct email found on site. For your confirmation, you may check manually."`

##### Q: Can I run this on thousands of websites at once?

**A:** Yes. The Actor utilizes asynchronous concurrency to process dozens of domains in parallel, achieving speeds of 300–500 domains per minute.

    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
