## 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.

# README

## Singapore Pharmacy Locations Scraper

Export **every registered retail pharmacy in Singapore** — around **249 outlets** — into clean JSON, CSV or Excel. Each record has **pharmacy name, brand, outlet, full address and latitude/longitude**. Powered by Singapore's **open data** (data.gov.sg).

Perfect for **retail location intelligence, store-finder apps, FMCG & pharma distribution planning, competitor mapping and site selection**.

### What you get, per outlet

- 💊 **Pharmacy** — full registered name
- 🏷️ **Brand** — detected chain (`Watsons`, `Guardian`, `Unity`, `iCare`) or independent
- 🏬 **Outlet** — mall / location label where available
- 📍 **Address** — structured (block, level, unit, road, building, postal) + formatted, plus **latitude & longitude**

### Filters

- **`query`** — name or address contains
- **`brand`** — `Watsons`, `Guardian`, `Unity`, `iCare`
- **`postalCode`** — postal code starts-with (district)
- **`centerLat` / `centerLng` / `radiusKm`** — radius search: only outlets within N km of a point, **sorted nearest-first** (adds `distanceKm`)
- **`maxItems`** — cap the export (~249 total)

### Example input

```json
{ "brand": "Guardian", "maxItems": 100 }
```

### FAQ

**Where does the data come from?**
Singapore's official retail-pharmacy open dataset on data.gov.sg, reused under the Singapore Open Data Licence.

**Can I find pharmacies near a location?**
Yes. Set `centerLat`, `centerLng` and `radiusKm` for a radius search — results come back sorted nearest-first with a `distanceKm` field added.

**Can I filter by chain?**
Yes. Use `brand` (Watsons, Guardian, Unity, iCare), `postalCode` for a district, or `query` for a name/address match.

**What's the output format?**
Structured JSON — one record per outlet with name, brand, outlet label, structured and formatted address and latitude/longitude. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel.

**Can I connect this to other apps?**
The Singapore Pharmacy Locations Scraper can be connected with almost any cloud service or web app thanks to [integrations on the Apify platform](https://apify.com/integrations). It works with [Make](https://apify.com/integrations/make), [Zapier](https://apify.com/integrations/zapier), [Slack](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/slack), [Airbyte](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/airbyte), [GitHub](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/github), [Google Drive](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/drive) and [many more](https://apify.com/integrations), plus the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2), JavaScript/Python clients and MCP.
