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.

Returns unique teacher profiles with location, contact details, yoga styles, and class listings across the UK. ### What this actor scrapes The **British Wheel of Yoga (BWY)** is the UK's largest yoga governing body, recognised by Sport England. Their member portal at `portal.bwy.org.uk` lists yoga classes and workshops taught by BWY-accredited teachers across the UK. This actor: - Systematically searches the BWY portal across 31 UK postcode centroids - Extracts teacher-centric data from class search results (no dedicated teacher profile pages exist on the portal) - Deduplicates teachers across overlapping postcode search radii - Returns one record per unique teacher with their primary class location and contact details ### Output fields | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `teacher_id` | Unique teacher ID from the BWY portal | | `first_class_name` | Name of the teacher's first listed class | | `city` | City/town of the teacher's primary class location | | `postcode` | UK postcode | | `country` | Always `GB` | | `latitude` | Latitude coordinate | | `longitude` | Longitude coordinate | | `email` | Email address (extracted from booking instructions) | | `phone` | Phone number (extracted from booking instructions) | | `how_to_book` | Raw booking/contact instructions | | `venue_name` | Venue name | | `styles` | Yoga styles (from class listing names) | | `teaches_online` | Whether teacher offers online classes | | `teaches_in_person` | Whether teacher offers in-person classes | | `class_count` | Number of active class listings for this teacher | | `profile_url` | URL of the teacher's primary class listing | ### Use cases - **Lead generation**: UK yoga insurance brokers (Balens, Insure4Sport) sourcing accredited teacher contacts - **Studio recruitment**: UK yoga studio chains recruiting qualified instructors - **Directory services**: Yoga event platforms building UK teacher indices - **Market research**: Mapping UK yoga teacher density by region for fitness industry analysis ### Input parameters | Parameter | Type | Description | Default | |-----------|------|-------------|---------| | `maxItems` | integer | Maximum number of teacher records to scrape | 15 | | `searchRadiusMiles` | integer | Search radius per postcode seed (miles) | 50 | ### Coverage and limitations The BWY portal has no dedicated teacher profile pages — teacher data is accessible only through class/workshop search results. Fields such as `name`, `credential` (Dip BWY / DCT), and `accreditation_date` are not exposed in the portal's public search API and are not collected by this actor. With 31 postcode seeds at 50-mile radius, this actor provides near-complete UK coverage. Estimated yield: 1,500–3,500 unique teachers depending on the portal's active registrations at time of scraping. ### Legal and ToS The BWY portal's `robots.txt` allows all access (`Allow: /`). All scraped data is publicly accessible without authentication. Contact details scraped are voluntarily published by BWY member teachers on the public directory for the purpose of being contacted by prospective students. # Actor input Schema ## `sp_intended_usage` (type: `string`): Please describe how you plan to use the data extracted by this crawler. ## `sp_improvement_suggestions` (type: `string`): Provide any feedback or suggestions for improvements. ## `sp_contact` (type: `string`): Provide your email address so we can get in touch with you. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of teacher records to scrape. Each teacher appears once regardless of how many classes they run. ## `searchRadiusMiles` (type: `integer`): Radius in miles for each postcode search query. Larger radius means fewer search queries but risks missing results near boundaries. Default 50. ## Actor input object example ```json { "sp_intended_usage": "Describe your intended use...", "sp_improvement_suggestions": "Share your suggestions here...", "sp_contact": "Share your email here...", "maxItems": 10, "searchRadiusMiles": 50 } ```` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
