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 ## DesignRush Scraper — Premium B2B Agency Leads with Minimum Budget Data **Extract 40,000+ verified B2B agencies from DesignRush** — the brand-discovery directory used by Fortune 500 procurement teams.

No record dropped for missing core fields. *** ### 🌍 Coverage — global agencies, 50+ categories The directory covers (non-exhaustive list of category slugs you can pass to `categorySlugs`): | Category area | Example slugs | |---|---| | **Web** | `web-design-companies`, `web-development`, `ecommerce-development`, `landing-page-design` | | **Mobile** | `mobile-app-design-companies`, `mobile-app-development`, `ios-app-design-companies`, `android-app-design` | | **Brand & creative** | `branding-agencies`, `logo-design-companies`, `packaging-design`, `print-design`, `naming-agencies` | | **Marketing** | `digital-marketing`, `seo-agency`, `ppc-management`, `content-marketing`, `social-media-marketing`, `email-marketing` | | **Design specialties** | `ui-ux-design`, `graphic-design`, `motion-design`, `video-production`, `animation-companies` | | **Specialized services** | `crm-consulting`, `business-services`, `accounting`, `hr-outsourcing`, `translation-services` | Combine any category with location slugs: `us`, `california`, `new-york`, `florida`, `texas`, `gb`, `canada` … for tight ICP segmentation. *** ### 💡 Tips & best practices #### Sales / outbound - **Start narrow, then scale.** Always run `maxRecords: 100` for the first run to validate the data on your real ICP before pulling thousands. - **Run with `scrapeProfileDetails: true`** for outbound — listing card data alone misses the email/phone/full address. - **Skip reviews for pure lead-gen** (`scrapeReviews: false`) if you only need contact data — faster runs, lower cost. - **Combine filters for ICP precision** — `minRating: 4.5` + `minReviews: 10` + `employeesFilter` + `locationSlugs` zeroes in on your perfect prospect. #### Competitive intelligence - Set `scrapeReviews: true` for full review bodies (default ON, no extra request cost) — gold for understanding what clients say about your competitors. - Use the **reviews view** (CSV export) for sentiment analysis, LLM-based theme extraction, or quote mining for case-study pitches. #### Elite-tier targeting - `awardWinnersOnly: true` + `minRating: 4.8` + `minReviews: 20` = the top decile of agencies. Use for premium outreach where every contact deserves a custom approach. #### Speed vs depth - `scrapeProfileDetails: false` → ultra-fast listing-only discovery, 50 leads/page, cheaper. - `scrapeProfileDetails: true` (default) → full data per profile, recommended for any paid outreach. #### Geography - Pair `locationSlugs: ["us"]` with state slugs for hyper-local: e.g. `["us", "california", "new-york"]`. Each combination is paginated separately, giving you maximum coverage. #### Cost management - The first 100 records every run are free — design your queries to fit within that for testing. - For huge runs (10K+ records), schedule them overnight with `maxConcurrency: 2` for stable execution. *** ### ❓ FAQ **Is the data fresh?** Every run pulls live data at the moment of execution. Schedule daily or weekly runs for change tracking (new agencies, new awards, new reviews). **Can I scrape a single specific agency?** Yes — pass it in `agencySlugs: ["agency-slug"]` or include the profile URL in `startUrls`. **Can I export to my CRM?** Yes — the dataset is exportable as **CSV, XLSX, or JSON**, and Apify's API lets you pipe it directly into HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Apollo, Clay, Smartlead, Lemlist, Outreach, Reply.io, or any custom stack. **Will the same agency appear twice in one run?** No — deduplication by slug across all discovery sources. **Can I filter by award status?** Yes — `awardWinnersOnly: true` returns only agencies holding a DesignRush Design Award badge. **Can I filter by rating or review count?** Yes — `minRating: 4.5` (or any 0–5 value) + `minReviews: 10` for quality filters. **Can I limit to a specific country, state, or city?** Yes — `locationSlugs: ["us", "california", "new-york"]`. Combine with `categorySlugs` for tight segmentation. **Are reviews included by default?** Yes — `scrapeReviews: true` is the default and reviews are embedded in each record at no extra request cost. **Can I schedule recurring runs?** Absolutely — Apify's built-in scheduler runs this scraper on any cron expression. Daily / weekly / monthly all supported. **Does this work for software listings too?** No — DesignRush is exclusively an **agency directory**. For SaaS / software listings, see our **GoodFirms Scraper** which includes software product data. **Is there a free tier?** Yes — the **first 100 records per run are free**. Plenty for validating the data on your real ICP before scaling. **Can I sort the data after I scrape?** Yes — open the CSV in Excel / Google Sheets and sort by any field (`rating`, `hourlyRateRange`, `minBudget`, `employeesRange`, `reviewCount`, etc.). **What's the difference between this and the GoodFirms Scraper?** GoodFirms has more total agencies (~110K vs 40K) but DesignRush has **better contact coverage** (100% email + phone), **minimum budget data** (which GoodFirms lacks), and **award badges**. For pure outbound contact lists, DesignRush is denser per record. For maximum agency volume, GoodFirms wins. Many users run both and dedupe by website. *** ### 💸 Pricing This scraper uses **Pay-per-result** pricing — you pay only for the records you actually receive. No subscriptions, no platform fees from us. Fresh B2B agency leads at a fraction of ZoomInfo / Apollo / Crunchbase pricing per record. The **first 100 results per run are free** so you can validate the data before scaling. *** ### 🚀 Related actors by the same team Pair this with the rest of our B2B intelligence suite: - **GoodFirms Scraper** — `haketa/goodfirms-scraper` 110,000+ agencies + thousands of SaaS products.

Mixed types OK. ## `categorySlugs` (type: `array`): Discover agencies from these category pages. Examples: web-design-companies, digital-marketing, branding-agencies, seo-agency, mobile-app-design-companies, ui-ux-design, packaging-design, ecommerce-development. ## `locationSlugs` (type: `array`): Restrict discovery to these countries/states/cities.

Reviews are embedded in profile JSON-LD so no extra request — keep ON for richer data. ## `scrapeProfileDetails` (type: `boolean`): Visit each profile page to extract founded year, team size, hourly rate, minimum budget, services, industries, clients, portfolio. Turn OFF for ultra-fast listing-only bulk discovery. ## `awardWinnersOnly` (type: `boolean`): Filter to agencies that hold a DesignRush Design Award badge. ## `minRating` (type: `number`): Drop agencies below this rating (0–5). 0 = no filter. ## `minReviews` (type: `integer`): Drop agencies with fewer verified reviews than this. 0 = no filter. ## `maxRecords` (type: `integer`): Total cap on records to push. 0 = unlimited. ## `maxPagesPerCategory` (type: `integer`): Pagination depth per category/location combo (~50 listings per page). ## `requestDelay` (type: `integer`): Delay between requests.
