## 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.

### 💰 Pricing (Pay-Per-Event)

| Event | When charged | Price |
|---|---|---|
| **Actor start** | Each run start (platform) | **$0.002** |
| **Dataset item** | Each lead / summary row (`pushData`) | **$0.02** |
| **email-found** | Each lead that has **≥1 email** after website extract | **$0.002** |

- `extractEmails` defaults **ON**. Turn it OFF to skip website email harvest (and skip `email-found` charges).
- There is **no** SMTP / mailbox-verification PPE on this Actor.
- SoftCTA mesh rows (Contact Info / Skip Trace / Maps Email / Website Leads / Business License) are free dataset rows for next-step discovery — not an extra paid SoftCTA event.

### 🚀 Features

- **Google Maps Integration:** Search exactly like you would on Google Maps (e.g., "roofers in Austin TX"). The bot finds every matching business.
- **Deep Contact Extraction:** The bot visits each business's website and deeply scans their Contact, About, and Team pages to find hidden email addresses and phone numbers.
- **Social Media Discovery:** Automatically finds Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, YouTube, and TikTok profiles.
- **Tech Stack & Pixel Detection:** Instantly know if a business is running ads by detecting Facebook Pixels, Google Tag Manager, Shopify, WordPress, and more. Perfect for marketing agencies!
- **Bulk Processing:** Upload a massive CSV of search queries and process thousands of locations automatically.
- **CRM Ready:** Send data directly to Zapier, Make.com, or GoHighLevel via webhook.
- **Demo Mode:** Fixture leads (with sample emails) for fast output/billing checks.

### 🛠️ How to Use

1. Enter your search queries (e.g., `["plumbers in Miami FL", "dentists in Chicago"]`).
2. Set the maximum leads you want per query.
3. Keep **Extract Emails** on (default) if you want inbox hunting + the $0.002 email-found layer.
4. Optional QUALIFY filters: minRating, minReviews, skipClosedPlaces, skipWithoutEmail.
5. Click **Start**.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

Enter business search queries like you would on Google Maps. Example: 'plumbers in Miami FL', 'restaurants in Austin TX', 'dentists near Chicago IL'.

## `maxLeadsPerQuery` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of businesses to find per search query. More leads = longer run time.

## `minRating` (type: `number`):

Only keep places with Google Maps rating ≥ this value (e.g. 4 or 4.5). Leave empty to keep all.

## `minReviews` (type: `integer`):

Only keep places with at least this many Google Maps reviews. Leave empty to keep all.

## `skipClosedPlaces` (type: `boolean`):

Exclude permanently/temporarily closed businesses (passed to Maps crawler + post-filter). Default ON.

## `skipWithoutEmail` (type: `boolean`):

Only keep leads that have at least one extracted email after website scrape. Turn ON to drop no-email rows.

## `skipWebsiteScraping` (type: `boolean`):

If checked, only returns Google Maps data (name, address, phone, rating) without visiting business websites. Faster and cheaper.

## `extractEmails` (type: `boolean`):

Scan business websites for email addresses (contact/about/footer). Default ON. When ON and a lead has ≥1 email, an email-found PPE event is charged at $0.002 (in addition to the per-lead dataset item). No SMTP verification charge.

## `extractSocials` (type: `boolean`):

Find Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, YouTube, and TikTok links.

## `extractTechStack` (type: `boolean`):

Identify CMS (WordPress, Shopify, Wix, etc.), frameworks, and hosting platforms used by the business.

## `extractPixels` (type: `boolean`):

Find Facebook Pixel, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, TikTok Pixel, and other tracking scripts. Great for identifying businesses running ads.

## `deepScan` (type: `boolean`):

Crawl /contact, /about, /team, and footer pages for additional emails and phone numbers. More thorough but slower.

## `csvUrl` (type: `string`):

Provide a link to a raw CSV file (e.g. Google Sheets Export) containing 'Name' or 'Query' headers to process thousands of records automatically.

## `webhookUrl` (type: `string`):

We will HTTP POST the final enriched records to this URL as soon as the run finishes.

## `demoMode` (type: `boolean`):

Push fixture leads (including sample emails) without calling Google Maps or crawling sites. Use to verify output + email-found billing. Default OFF.

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).
