## 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.

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).

## Clutch.co Scraper

Scrape company listings and profiles from Clutch.co. Get ratings, review counts, hourly rates, project size ranges, employee counts, and service breakdowns for any category or region.

### What it does

Give it a Clutch.co listing URL (like `clutch.co/developers/reactjs/uk/england/london`) or a company profile URL. It pulls every company on the page, then keeps paginating until it hits your item limit. No setup beyond the URL.

Listing pages return one record per company. Profile pages (`/profile/company-name`) return a deeper record that also includes portfolio items and average project size.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `startUrls` | string list | One or more Clutch.co listing or profile URLs |
| `maxItems` | integer | Maximum companies to return (default: 50, max: 1000) |
| `requestTimeoutSecs` | integer | Per-request timeout in seconds (default: 30) |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://clutch.co/developers/reactjs/uk/england/london",
    "https://clutch.co/agencies/seo"
  ],
  "maxItems": 100
}
````

### Output

Each company is saved as one record in the dataset.

```json
{
  "name": "Infinum",
  "clutchId": "40190",

```

### How to use

1. Open the actor on Apify and click **Try for free**
2. Paste one or more Clutch.co URLs into **Start URLs**
3. Set **Max items** (default 50)
4. Click **Start** and download results when done

### Use cases

- Build a vendor shortlist without clicking through dozens of Clutch pages manually
- Track a competitor's rating and review count over time
- Pull IT service company data for B2B outreach
- Research going rates and project minimums for a specific region or specialty

### Notes

- Clutch.co shows roughly 83 companies per listing page. Pagination is automatic.
- Profile pages return a richer record with portfolio items and average project size.
- Set `maxItems` to keep run time and cost predictable. Large categories can have thousands of listings.
- If a URL fails, the actor logs an error and moves on without stopping the rest of the run.
