## What's an Apify Actor?
An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.
Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.
## 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.
Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.
For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.
Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

### Overview
Most B2B outbound campaigns fail because they rely on stale static databases where every prospect receives the exact same template. **B2B Social Leads & Executive Signal Extractor** solves this by querying live public social graphs and technical communities in real time, returning both **verified decision-maker profiles** and their **most recent public post or technical contribution** to power contextual outreach.
Instead of spinning up heavy headless browsers that burn compute units and fail on login walls, this Actor communicates directly with public JSON endpoints (`ATProtocol / Bluesky`, `GitHub REST v3`, `Algolia HN Search`) and parses OpenGraph/HTML metadata on direct landing pages.
#### Core Capabilities
| Capability | Technical Implementation | B2B Value |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Multi-Network Persona Search** | Concurrent async queries across Bluesky, GitHub, and Hacker News | Locate technical founders, CTOs, indie hackers, and GTM operators by niche |
| **Contextual Icebreaker Capture** | Pulls the prospect's latest non-reply post or `Show HN` launch (`postContent`) | Feed directly into Clay, Make, or n8n LLM steps for 1-to-1 cold email hooks |
| **Executive Role Classification** | Deterministic regex & taxonomy tagging on biographies and headlines | Filter instantly by `Founder / Co-Founder`, `C-Level Executive`, `VP / Director`, or `AI / ML Builder` |
| **Contact & Domain Resolution** | Extracts public emails, personal blogs, company domains, and X/LinkedIn URLs | Enrich CRM records without paying secondary waterfall credits |
***

### Integration Patterns
#### 1. Clay.com / Make / n8n Outbound Workflow
1. **Trigger**: Schedule this Actor daily or trigger via webhook from Clay/n8n with your target ICP keywords.
2. **Filter**: Keep records where `leadRoleSignals` contains `Founder / Co-Founder` or `C-Level Executive` and `websiteUrl` is not null.
3. **Personalize**: Pass `bio` and `postContent` to your LLM prompt to reference the prospect's exact recent post in the first line of your email.
#### 2. Python SDK Execution
```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("kleioks/b2b-social-leads-scraper").call(
run_input={
"searchQueries": ["SaaS founder", "AI infrastructure"],
"platforms": ["bluesky", "github"],
"includeLatestPost": True,
"maxResults": 50,
}
)
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
print(f"{item['profileName']} ({item['handle']}) -> {item['websiteUrl']}")
```
***
### Performance & Resource Profile
- **Architecture**: Pure asynchronous HTTP/2 (`httpx`) + `Pydantic v2` validation. Zero headless browser overhead.
- **Recommended Memory**: `256 MB` (processes ~50–100 enriched profiles in under 5 seconds).
- **Deduplication**: Built-in cross-query deduplication by `platform + handle`.
***
### No-Code, Clay, n8n & AI Agent (MCP) Integrations
#### 1. Clay.com Founder & Developer Lead Enrichment
1. Trigger `kleioks/b2b-social-leads-scraper` from **Clay** with target bio queries (`"SaaS founder"`, `"CTO"`, `"building in public"`, `"DevTools"`).
2. Feed the extracted `extractedEmail`, `websiteUrl`, `company`, and `postContent` columns directly into your Clay waterfall or AI email writer to reference the prospect's latest open-source commit or social post.
#### 2. n8n & Make.com Automated Community Lead Gen
Connect the **Apify Node** in **n8n** or **Make.com** to poll **Hacker News (`Ask HN` / `Show HN`)**, **Bluesky**, and **GitHub** daily. Filter records where `extractedEmail != null` or `intentSignals` is non-empty, and push qualified leads straight into **HubSpot**, **Pipedrive**, or **Attio**.
#### 3. Model Context Protocol (MCP) for Claude, Cursor & AI Agents
Equip **Claude Desktop**, **Cursor**, or custom AI sales agents with live social lead discovery via the official Apify MCP server:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"apify-social-leads": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@apify/actors-mcp-server",
"--actors",
"kleioks/b2b-social-leads-scraper"
],
"env": {
"APIFY_TOKEN": "YOUR_APIFY_API_TOKEN"
}
}
}
}
```
***
### Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
#### How can I scrape B2B founder and developer leads without LinkedIn rate limits?
Tech founders, CTOs, and indie hackers are increasingly active on **Bluesky**, **GitHub**, and **Hacker News**, where their biographies, personal domains (`websiteUrl`), company affiliations, and public contact emails are accessible via open JSON APIs without account logins or cookie rotation.
#### Does this scraper extract emails from custom domains and landing pages?
Yes. In addition to scanning social profiles on Bluesky, GitHub, and Hacker News, passing any company or profile URLs in `targetUrls` triggers an asynchronous HTML + OpenGraph + `mailto:` parser that extracts public business emails and social handles.
#### What is the compute cost per 1,000 leads?
Because all requests use lightweight asynchronous HTTP/2 (`httpx`) inside a `128 MB`–`256 MB` container, extracting 1,000 profiles consumes less than **$0.03 in Apify Compute Units**.
