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 ## F6S Accelerator, Startup & Investor Scraper Scrapes [F6S.com](https://www.f6s.com), the largest global directory of startup accelerators, competitions, grants, startups, and investors. Returns program details, startup profiles, and investor data — with filters for country, stage, and sector — from a database of 14,000+ active programs. --- ### F6S Scraper Features - Extracts programs (accelerators, incubators, competitions, grants), startups, and investors in a single actor - Filters by country, startup stage, industry sector, program type, and active deadline - Returns investment amount, equity terms, application deadline, and apply URL for each program - Captures location data (city and country) from listing cards directly - Handles Reese84 bot protection automatically — residential proxy included - Paginates through all results, or stops at your configured `maxItems` limit --- ### Who Uses F6S Data? - **Founders** — Find accelerators, competitions, and grants that match your stage, sector, and geography before deadlines close - **VCs and investors** — Identify active deal-flow sources and track which accelerators are funding which sectors - **Corporate innovation teams** — Monitor the accelerator landscape for partnership and pipeline opportunities - **Researchers and analysts** — Map the global startup support ecosystem, track program volumes by country and type - **Startup support organizations** — Build databases of competing or complementary programs for strategic benchmarking --- ### How F6S Scraper Works 1. Configure the entity type (programs, startups, or investors) and any filters — country, stage, sector, deadline status 2. The scraper navigates F6S listing pages using a real browser, bypassing the bot challenge automatically with a US residential proxy 3. Listing cards are extracted from the rendered HTML — name, slug, location, investment terms, deadline, and apply URL are captured from the listing view 4. Results are returned as clean JSON; pagination continues until you hit your `maxItems` limit or the last page --- ### Input ```json { "entityType": "programs", "country": "United States", "stage": "Seed", "sector": "FinTech", "programType": "accelerator", "deadlineOnly": true, "maxItems": 50, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } } ```` | Field | Type | Default | Description | |-------|------|---------|-------------| | `entityType` | String | `programs` | What to scrape: `programs` (accelerators/competitions/grants), `startups`, or `investors` | | `programType` | String | *(all)* | For programs: filter by `accelerator`, `incubator`, `competition`, `grant`, `fellowship`, `hackathon`, `studio` | | `country` | String | *(all)* | Filter by country (e.g. `United States`, `Germany`, `Singapore`) | | `stage` | String | *(all)* | Filter by startup stage: `Pre-Seed`, `Seed`, `Series A`, `Series B`, `Series C`, `Growth` | | `sector` | String | *(all)* | Industry keyword filter (e.g. `FinTech`, `HealthTech`, `AI`, `ClimateTech`) | | `deadlineOnly` | Boolean | `false` | Programs only: include only entries with upcoming application deadlines | | `maxItems` | Integer | `10` | Max records to return.

F6S Scraper handles it with a browser-based scrape of F6S's listing pages. Set `entityType` to `programs`, optionally add filters for country, sector, or stage, and set a `maxItems` limit. The actor handles bot protection and pagination. #### How much does F6S Scraper cost to run? F6S Scraper uses the `default_2603_basic` pricing profile — $0.10 per actor start plus $0.001 per record. Scraping 1,000 accelerator listings costs roughly $1.10. #### Can I filter by deadline? Yes. Set `deadlineOnly: true` to return only programs with upcoming application deadlines. This filter applies to programs only — not startups or investors. #### Does F6S Scraper need proxies? F6S Scraper requires a residential proxy to bypass the bot challenge. The default input uses Apify's residential US proxy pool. Datacenter IPs get blocked at the gate. #### How many records are available on F6S? F6S lists over 14,000 active programs as of early 2026. The count shifts as programs open and close. Set `maxItems: 0` to pull everything in a single run. *** ### Need More Features? Need custom fields, additional filter options, or a different entity type? [File an issue](https://console.apify.com/actors/s7iE09haZeFU4HnjY/issues) or get in touch. ### Why Use F6S Scraper? - **14,000+ programs covered** — F6S is the largest global accelerator directory, and this scraper reaches all of it in a single run - **Three entity types, one actor** — programs, startups, and investors from the same database, switched with one input field rather than three separate tools - **Filtered results at the source** — country, stage, sector, and deadline filters are applied server-side, so you only download what you need # 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. ## `entityType` (type: `string`): Programs (accelerators/competitions/grants), startups, or investors. ## `programType` (type: `string`): Filter programs by type.
