## 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

## TheOrg Org Chart People Scraper

Scrape public org chart data from [TheOrg](https://theorg.com). Returns people, titles, reporting relationships, departments, and company metadata — no login or cookies required. TheOrg publishes its entire org chart database as server-rendered HTML, so every record here is genuinely public.

---

### TheOrg Org Chart People Scraper Features

- Extracts org chart nodes with parent-child reporting edges — the `reports_to` field tells you who each person reports to.
- Returns team/department membership per person from the company's team structure.
- Collects company metadata alongside each person: industry, HQ location, website, slug.
- Derives seniority level (C-suite, VP, Director, Manager, Senior IC, IC) from job title automatically.
- Accepts a list of company URLs directly or discovers companies via TheOrg's sitemap (200k+ org profiles).
- Respects `maxItems` so you can run small targeted pulls without crawling the full index.

---

### Who Uses This Data?

- **SDRs and BDRs** — build buying committees by mapping titles and reporting lines at target accounts before cold outreach.
- **Recruiters** — identify hiring manager and team structure before reaching out to candidates.
- **Market researchers** — analyze org structure patterns across industries or geographies.
- **Sales engineers** — understand decision-maker hierarchy at prospect accounts before demos.
- **GTM analysts** — enrich CRM accounts with org chart data from a public, cookieless source.

---

### How TheOrg Org Chart People Scraper Works

1. Accepts a list of company URLs (`startUrls`) or crawls TheOrg's compressed sitemap index to discover company pages.
2. Fetches each company's org page and extracts the `__NEXT_DATA__` SSR JSON payload — no JS rendering needed.
3. Parses `initialNodes` (org chart with parentId edges) and `initialTeams` (department membership) from the page data.
4. Emits one record per unique person, with company metadata attached to each row.

---

### Input

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://theorg.com/org/stripe" },
    { "url": "https://theorg.com/org/notion" }
  ],
  "maxItems": 100
}
````

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `startUrls` | array | `[{"url": "https://theorg.com/org/happilo"}]` | List of TheOrg company page URLs to scrape. Leave empty to use sitemap discovery. |
| `maxItems` | integer | `10` | Maximum number of person records to collect. Set to `0` for unlimited (sitemap mode). |

**Sitemap mode:** leave `startUrls` empty and the actor walks TheOrg's sitemap index (`cdn.theorg.com/sitemap.xml`) and walks the 400+ compressed company sitemaps to collect company URLs. Use `maxItems` to cap output.

### FAQ

#### Does TheOrg require a login to view org charts?

No. TheOrg publishes org charts publicly — no account, no cookies. The data is server-rendered and available to any HTTP client with a valid browser user-agent.

#### How fresh is the data?

TheOrg data reflects whatever is on their site at crawl time. Org charts are user-contributed and vary in freshness by company. High-profile companies tend to be updated more frequently.

#### What is the `reports_to` field?

It contains the name of the person's direct manager, derived from the org chart's parent-child node structure. The field is empty for top-level executives (no parent node) or for people sourced from team pages where the org chart edge isn't available.

#### How does sitemap mode work?

When `startUrls` is empty, the actor fetches TheOrg's sitemap index and walks 400+ compressed company sitemaps to collect URLs, then crawls each org page. This mode can return data for 200k+ organizations — use `maxItems` to cap it.

#### What does `person_role_level` derive from?

The title string. Matches common patterns: "CEO", "Chief", "President" → C-suite; "VP", "Vice President" → VP; "Director" → Director; "Manager" → Manager; "Senior", "Lead", "Principal", "Staff", "Head of" → Senior IC; everything else → IC.

### Why Use TheOrg Org Chart People Scraper?

- **Cookieless source** — TheOrg requires no authentication, unlike LinkedIn scrapers which all require active session cookies and fight aggressive anti-bot. You get the same org-chart buyer-intent data without the credential management problem.
- **Reporting edges included** — the `reports_to` field surfaces manager-report relationships that LinkedIn does not expose. Buying committee mapping gets considerably more useful when you know the chain of command.
- **Affordable at scale** — PPE pricing means you pay per record, not per run. Grabbing 500 decision-makers from 10 target accounts costs less than a cup of coffee.
