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 ## NADCA Air Duct Cleaner Directory Scraper Scrapes the complete [NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association)](https://nadca.com/find-a-professional) certified member directory. Returns every member company with contact details, address, phone, website, membership date, and certified personnel names with their industry credentials (ASCS, CVI, VSMR). ### What you get Each record includes: | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `company_name` | Company name | | `contact_name` | Primary contact | | `address` | Street address | | `city` | City | | `state` | State or province | | `zip` | ZIP or postal code | | `country` | Country | | `phone` | Phone number | | `fax` | Fax number (if listed) | | `website` | Company website URL | | `member_since` | NADCA membership date | | `certified_personnel_count` | Number of certified personnel | | `certified_individuals` | Named certified staff with credentials (e.g. `"John Smith, ASCS, CVI"`) | | `job_types` | Commercial / Residential | | `additional_services` | Extra services (dryer vent cleaning, kitchen ventilation, etc.) | | `profile_url` | Full URL of the member profile on nadca.com | ### Why NADCA data NADCA is the authoritative certification body for air duct cleaning in North America. Unlike general business directories or Google Maps listings, NADCA membership requires passing technical exams and adhering to a code of ethics. Each record is certification-gated — buyers can distinguish trained professionals from uncertified operators. This makes the dataset uniquely valuable for: - HVAC equipment vendors targeting certified operators - Insurance and restoration referral networks - Franchise development and roll-up acquisition targeting - B2B lead generation for complementary services ### Usage 1. Set **Max Items** to the number of companies you want. Leave it at the default (or set a large number) to scrape the full directory (~1,600 members). 2. Run the actor. Full directory scrapes complete in under 15 minutes. ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |-------|------|---------|-------------| | `maxItems` | integer | 10 | Maximum number of company records to scrape. Leave blank or set high to scrape all members (~1,600). | ### Example output ```json { "company_name": "Sani-Vac Service, Inc.", "contact_name": "John H.
