## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

# README

## 🔎 Naukri Jobs Lead Finder /w Verified Emails | NO LIMIT

The ultimate B2B lead generation engine for the Indian market. We turn Naukri job postings into verified, ready-to-contact decision-maker leads. 

A job posting is a massive buying signal. If a company is hiring, they have budget, they are growing, and they need tools, staffing, or services. This Actor extracts those signals and automatically finds the emails of the Founders, HR Managers, or VPs you need to pitch.

#### 🔥 Why use this Actor?
- **Verified Emails ONLY:** You only pay for rows that have a successfully MX/SMTP-verified email address. No bounces. No wasted money.
- **NO LIMIT:** Extract as many leads as you need without hitting CAPTCHAs.
- **Pay-Per-Event (PPE):** We use a fair billing model. You are only charged a few cents per successfully verified lead. Failed scrapes cost you nothing.
- **Free Tier Allowance:** To test the engine, you can extract your first **10 verified leads per run completely for free**. After 10 leads, the engine will safely pause and prompt you to rent/subscribe to unlock unlimited extraction.
- **Standby Mode Ready:** Integrate this directly into your custom AI agents or internal tools for real-time lookups with zero Apify platform overhead.

#### 🛡️ Port 25 SMTP Verification Warning
Because major cloud providers (like Apify, AWS, GCP) block outbound Port 25 connections to prevent spam, this Actor uses **deep DNS MX-Record validation** to verify emails instead of full SMTP mailbox probing. 
If you require 100% bounce-free SMTP mailbox validation, you can export the results from this Actor and run them through our dedicated [**Email Verifier & Validator**](https://apify.com/intelscrape/email-verifier) Actor, which uses specialized residential proxy routing to bypass Port 25 firewalls!
