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 ## Skyscraper Owner Scraper Find the **owners, general managers, phone numbers, and email addresses** for the tallest skyscrapers in any major city. Powered by public property records, Wikipedia building rankings, and web search — no API keys required. ### What it does 1. Fetches the ranked list of tallest buildings for each specified city from Wikipedia 2. For each building, searches the web for management contact information 3. Extracts and returns: owner company, general manager name, phone numbers, and email addresses ### Use cases - **Commercial real estate prospecting** — reach building owners and managers directly - **B2B sales outreach** — contact decision-makers in premium office buildings - **Facility services** — find the right contacts for cleaning, security, maintenance, or F&B - **Property research** — build a contact database of skyscraper owners in target markets - **Investment research** — identify ownership entities behind major buildings ### Supported Cities | Slug | City | |------|------| | `new-york-city` | New York City | | `chicago` | Chicago | | `los-angeles` | Los Angeles | | `houston` | Houston | | `miami` | Miami | | `dallas` | Dallas | | `seattle` | Seattle | | `boston` | Boston | | `san-francisco` | San Francisco | | `atlanta` | Atlanta | | `philadelphia` | Philadelphia | | `denver` | Denver | | `dubai` | Dubai | | `london` | London | | `toronto` | Toronto | | `sydney` | Sydney | | `tokyo` | Tokyo | | `shanghai` | Shanghai | ### Input | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | |-----------|------|---------|-------------| | `cities` | array | `["new-york-city"]` | City slugs to scrape | | `maxBuildingsPerCity` | integer | `10` | Top N tallest buildings per city (1–100) | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | — | Optional proxy settings | ### Output Each result is a JSON record: ```json { "rank": 1, "buildingName": "Empire State Building", "city": "New York City", "address": "350 Fifth Avenue", "heightFt": 1454, "ownerCompany": "Empire State Realty Trust", "generalManager": "John Smith", "phones": ["212-736-3100"], "emails": ["info@esrtreit.com"], "officialWebsite": "https://www.esbnyc.com", "dataCompleteness": "85%", "scrapedAt": "2026-04-11T02:00:00.000Z" } ```` ### Data Completeness Contact data availability varies by building. Newer or privately-held buildings may have limited public information. The `dataCompleteness` field indicates how much contact data was found (0–100%). ### Pricing **$0.003 per building record** (pay per result) ### Legal This actor only accesses publicly available information. Always comply with applicable laws and the terms of service of any websites you use the data from. # Actor input Schema ## `cities` (type: `array`): Cities to scrape skyscraper owner/contact data for. Use slugs: new-york-city, chicago, los-angeles, houston, miami, dallas, seattle, boston, san-francisco, atlanta, philadelphia, denver, dubai, london, toronto, sydney, tokyo, shanghai ## `maxBuildingsPerCity` (type: `integer`): Number of tallest buildings to look up per city. Lower = faster and cheaper. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Optional proxy settings. ## Actor input object example ```json { "cities": [ "new-york-city" ], "maxBuildingsPerCity": 10 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "cities": [ "new-york-city" ], "maxBuildingsPerCity": 10 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("heliostech/skyscraper-owner-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
