The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. 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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 ## Local Business Listings Submission API by Listings API Submit, manage and distribute accurate **business listing data** across **50+ listing sites**: the search engines, maps, GPS/voice assistants and directories people use to find local businesses, all from one API with no code required. This Actor wraps the full REST API. Pick an **operation**, add your parameters, run it, and the results are saved to the dataset. Keep every business's **name, address, phone, hours, categories and photos** consistent everywhere. That consistency is the foundation of **local SEO**, map-pack visibility and customer trust. ### What you need A **Listings API account and an API key**. Create one at **https://listingsapi.com**. You use your Listings API key, so the Actor acts as you and respects your plan's limits. ### Input | Field | Required | Description | |---|---|---| | `apiKey` | Yes | Your Listings API key (stored as a secret). | | `operation` | Yes | The endpoint to call. Pick from the dropdown (locations, listings, posts, reviews, analytics). | | `pathParams` | No | Values for path placeholders, e.g. `{ "locationId": "123" }`. | | `query` | No | Query-string parameters, e.g. `{ "limit": 50 }`. | | `body` | No | JSON body for write operations (create/update). Ignored for GETs. | | `paginate` | No | For list endpoints, follow `pageInfo.hasNextPage` and collect every page. | | `maxItems` | No | Stop after N items across pages (`0` = no limit). | Results are written to the **dataset**, one row per item, and can be exported as JSON, CSV or Excel. ### Examples **List locations** ```json { "apiKey": "", "operation": "allLocations", "query": { "limit": 50 }, "paginate": true } ```` **Get a location's photos** (path parameter) ```json { "apiKey": "", "operation": "mediaFilesOfLocation", "pathParams": { "locationId": "123" } } ``` **Create a location** (write, JSON body) ```json { "apiKey": "", "operation": "createLocation", "body": { "input": { "name": "Acme Dental", "description": "...", "subCategoryId": 743, "countryIso": "US", "city": "Austin" } } } ``` The exact `body` and `query` shape for each operation is in the [Listings API reference](https://docs.listingsapi.com). This Actor forwards them as-is. ### Output List responses are unwrapped into individual dataset rows. Non-2xx responses stop the run and are reported cleanly (status, error code and message), with the full response saved as one `{ "_error": true, ... }` record for debugging. ### Docs & support Full endpoint reference and guides: **https://docs.listingsapi.com**. More info: **https://www.listingsapi.com** # Actor input Schema ## `apiKey` (type: `string`): Your Listings API key. Create one at https://listingsapi.com/dashboard/api-keys. Sent as `Authorization: API `. ## `operation` (type: `string`): Which Listings API endpoint to call. ## `pathParams` (type: `object`): Values for path placeholders, e.g. { "locationId": "123" }. Required for operations whose path contains an id. ## `query` (type: `object`): Query-string parameters as key/value pairs, e.g. { "limit": 50 }. ## `body` (type: `object`): JSON body for write operations (create/update). Ignored for read-only GET operations. ## `paginate` (type: `boolean`): For list endpoints, follow pageInfo.hasNextPage and collect every page into the dataset. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Stop after collecting this many items across pages. 0 means no cap. ## `cursorParam` (type: `string`): Query parameter used to pass the pagination cursor (Relay-style; default 'after'). ## `baseUrl` (type: `string`): Only change this for testing against a non-production environment. ## Actor input object example ```json { "pathParams": {}, "query": {}, "body": {}, "paginate": false, "maxItems": 0, "cursorParam": "after", "baseUrl": "https://listingsapi.com" } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("listingsapi/local-business-listings-submission-api").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
