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.

This Actor scans selected AppSumo software categories and saves structured startup profiles from public product pages. It is useful for finding: - SaaS startup founders - software company leads - B2B SaaS prospects - startup websites - founder LinkedIn profiles - marketing technology companies - sales software companies - operations software vendors - customer experience software startups --- ### 2. Why use this tool? Use this Actor to create structured lead datasets for: - startup founder outreach - SaaS partnership campaigns - B2B lead generation - CRM enrichment - software market research - competitor discovery - product sourcing USA-based users can enable the USA-only filter when they need domestic startup profiles. --- ### 3. How do I use it? 1. Select one or more AppSumo software categories. 2. Set the maximum number of pages per category. 3. Set the maximum number of profiles to save. 4. Enable the USA-only filter when needed. 5. Run the Actor. Example input: ```json { "categories": ["operations", "marketing-sales", "development-it"], "max_pages_per_category": 1, "max_profiles": 20, "usa_only": false, "request_delay_millis": 350 } ```` *** ### 4. What data points do I get? Each dataset item contains: ```json { "product_name": "Example SaaS Product", "product_url": "https://appsumo.com/products/example/", "founder_name": "Example Founder", "founder_profile_url": "https://appsumo.com/profile/example/", "founder_linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/example/", "company_location": "Austin, Texas, USA", "company_website": "https://example.com/", "description": "Example public product description.", "emails": ["hello@example.com"], "source_category": "marketing-sales" } ``` *** ### 5. Does the Actor find email addresses? The Actor saves email addresses when they are publicly exposed on an AppSumo product profile. Many profiles do not publish an email address, so the `emails` array may be empty. *** ### 6. How does pricing work? The Actor uses pay-per-event pricing: - `profile-scraped`: charged once for each saved startup profile. - `email-found`: charged once for each public email address extracted from a saved profile. - `apify-actor-start`: Apify's synthetic start event. Enable it in the Publication tab if it is not already present. Apify enables and charges this event automatically for new PPE Actors. *** ### 7. Can I integrate the results with other tools? Yes. Export or connect the Apify dataset to: - Google Sheets - Airtable - Zapier - Make - n8n - CRM systems - data warehouses For custom scraping solutions, integrations, or larger startup lead datasets, contact lead.gen.labs.1@gmail.com. # Actor input Schema ## `categories` (type: `array`): Select one or more AppSumo software categories to scan. ## `max_pages_per_category` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of listing pages to scan for each selected category. ## `max_profiles` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of unique AppSumo product profiles to save. ## `usa_only` (type: `boolean`): Save only profiles whose publicly displayed company location is in the United States. ## `request_delay_millis` (type: `integer`): Delay in milliseconds between product profile requests. ## Actor input object example ```json { "categories": [ "operations", "marketing-sales", "build-it-yourself", "media-tools", "finance", "development-it", "customer-experience" ], "max_pages_per_category": 1, "max_profiles": 20, "usa_only": false, "request_delay_millis": 350 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
