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 ## China Tier-1 VC Portfolio Aggregator Aggregates portfolio company data from 9 top-tier Chinese venture capital firms in a single run. Returns a unified dataset with company names (Chinese and English), sector, stage, website, and investment metadata. ### Supported Sources | VC Firm | Method | |---------|--------| | **HongShan 红杉中国** (Sequoia China) | Sitemap-based: 131 companies via company-sitemap.xml | | **Qiming Venture Partners 启明创投** | SSR listing: 427 companies in one page load | | **IDG Capital China** | SSR listing with h3 company names and taglines | | **ZhenFund 真格基金** | Featured company descriptions + external website links | | **Sinovation Ventures 创新工场** | External company link anchors | | **5Y Capital 五源资本** | H2/H3 company names (geo-dependent) | | **Matrix Partners China 经纬创投** | H1/H2 company references | | **Legend Capital 君联资本** | H2/H3 company references | | **Hillhouse Investment 高瓴** | Company-spotlight blog post slugs | ### What You Get | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `vcFirm` | VC firm key: hongshan, qiming, idg_china, zhenfund, sinovation, 5y_capital, matrix_china, legend, hillhouse | | `vcUrl` | Portfolio listing URL used for extraction | | `nameZh` | Company name in Chinese | | `nameEn` | Company name in English | | `taglineZh` | Chinese description or tagline | | `taglineEn` | English description or tagline | | `website` | Company website URL | | `sector` | Industry sector (AI, biotech, consumer, enterprise, fintech, etc.) | | `stage` | Investment stage (seed, A, B, growth, IPO) | | `status` | Company status: active, acquired, ipo, shutdown | | `hqCity` | Headquarters city when available | | `country` | Country code: CN, US, SG, HK | | `exitType` | Exit venue: HKEX, STAR/SSE, ChiNext/SZSE, NASDAQ, NYSE | | `vcDetailUrl` | VC firm's company profile page | | `logoUrl` | Company logo URL when available | | `extractedAt` | ISO 8601 scrape timestamp | ### Input ```json { "maxItems": 100, "vcFirms": ["hongshan", "qiming"] } ```` | Field | Type | Default | Description | |-------|------|---------|-------------| | `maxItems` | integer | 10 | Max total companies to return across all firms | | `vcFirms` | array | all 9 firms | Which firms to scrape. Leave empty for all. Valid values: `hongshan`, `idg_china`, `zhenfund`, `sinovation`, `qiming`, `hillhouse`, `5y_capital`, `matrix_china`, `legend` | ### Usage Examples **All 9 firms, up to 500 companies:** ```json { "maxItems": 500, "vcFirms": [] } ``` **Qiming only (largest fully-SSR dataset, 400+ companies):** ```json { "maxItems": 500, "vcFirms": ["qiming"] } ``` **HongShan only (sitemap-driven, 130+ companies with Chinese names):** ```json { "maxItems": 200, "vcFirms": ["hongshan"] } ``` **Cross-firm scan for M\&A / sanctions screening:** ```json { "maxItems": 1000, "vcFirms": ["hongshan", "qiming", "idg_china", "zhenfund", "sinovation"] } ``` ### Notes - All 9 sites return 200 with a standard browser User-Agent — no proxy required. - HongShan is sitemap-based and fetches one detail page per company — runs slower but returns richer metadata (Chinese name from og:title, English name from slug). - Qiming returns 400+ companies from a single page load — fastest per-company throughput. - Sites that are JS-rendered or geo-restricted (5y\_capital, matrix\_china, legend) return fewer results; the actor fails gracefully and continues with remaining sources. - The actor uses a ~800ms polite delay between source site requests. - Chinese sites may have connectivity variance from non-CN egress IPs. Cloud validation (Apify cloud) passes normally. # 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 portfolio companies to return (across all VC firms combined) ## `vcFirms` (type: `array`): Filter to specific VC firms.
