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). # README ## Dutch Business Scraper πŸ‡³πŸ‡± Scrape Dutch company data from multiple public sources: **KVK** (Kamer van Koophandel), **De Telefoongids** (Yellow Pages), and **OpenKVK**. Perfect for B2B sales teams, market researchers, and anyone targeting Netherlands-based companies. ### What data you get For each business found: | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `companyName` | Official company name | | `kvkNumber` | KVK registration number | | `address` | Street address | | `postalCode` | Dutch postal code | | `city` | City name | | `phone` | Phone number | | `website` | Company website | | `email` | Email address (when available) | | `businessType` | Type of business / SBI code | | `registrationDate` | Date of KVK registration | | `numberOfEmployees` | Employee count (when available) | | `sourceUrl` | URL where data was found | | `source` | Which source provided the data | ### Input | Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | |-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------| | `searchQuery` | string | βœ… | - | Business type/keyword (e.g., "restaurant", "tandarts") | | `location` | string | βœ… | - | City or region (e.g., "Amsterdam", "Noord-Holland") | | `maxResults` | integer | ❌ | 100 | Maximum results to return | | `sources` | array | ❌ | all | Sources to use: `kvk`, `detelefoongids`, `openkvk` | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | ❌ | - | Apify proxy settings | ### Example input ```json { "searchQuery": "tandarts", "location": "Amsterdam", "maxResults": 50, "sources": ["detelefoongids", "openkvk"] } ```` ### Data sources - **OpenKVK** (`openkvk.nl`) β€” Free mirror of KVK data with search API. Best for KVK numbers and registration data. - **De Telefoongids** (`detelefoongids.nl`) β€” Dutch yellow pages. Excellent for phone numbers, addresses, and local businesses. - **KVK Zoeken** (`kvk.nl/zoeken`) β€” Official KVK public search. Limited but authoritative data. ### Deduplication Results are automatically deduplicated by KVK number. When a business is found in multiple sources, data is merged (preferring the most complete record). ### Rate limiting The actor respects rate limits (1-2 requests/second per source) to avoid being blocked. ### Cost Typical run costs ~$0.10-0.50 depending on `maxResults` and number of sources. # Actor input Schema ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Business type or keyword to search for (e.g., 'restaurant', 'tandarts', 'loodgieter', 'accountant') ## `location` (type: `string`): City or region in the Netherlands (e.g., 'Amsterdam', 'Utrecht', 'Noord-Holland') ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of results to return ## `sources` (type: `array`): Which sources to scrape. Leave empty for all sources. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Apify proxy configuration ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQuery": "restaurant", "location": "Amsterdam", "maxResults": 100, "sources": [ "kvk", "detelefoongids", "openkvk" ] } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "searchQuery": "restaurant", "location": "Amsterdam" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("lone_neutrino/dutch-business-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`πŸ’Ύ Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // πŸ“š Want to learn more πŸ“–?
