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 ## B2BStars / Kompass Company Scraper Extract B2B company contact data from [b2bstars.com](https://www.b2bstars.com) — a Kompass partner site covering millions of companies across Europe. Search by keyword, sector, or country and collect structured contact information at scale. ### What it does This Actor crawls B2BStars search results and extracts the following data for each company: | Field | Description | |---|---| | `companyName` | Official registered company name | | `url` | B2BStars profile URL | | `website` | Company website URL | | `phone` | Phone number (may be empty — gated behind B2BStars paywall) | | `email` | Email address | | `address` | Street address | | `city` | City | | `country` | Country | | `sectors` | Comma-separated industry sectors | | `rating` | Kompass star rating (0–5) | ### Input | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `searchQuery` | string | *(empty)* | Keyword, sector, or company name to search for | | `countries` | string | `NL` | Comma-separated ISO country codes (`NL`, `BE`, `DE`, etc.) | | `maxPages` | integer | `5` | Maximum number of search result pages to scrape | #### Example input ```json { "searchQuery": "software", "countries": "NL", "maxPages": 3 } ```` ### Output Results are stored in the **Dataset** tab after each run. Each item represents one company: ```json { "companyName": "Qlic Internet Solutions B.V.", "url": "https://www.b2bstars.com/nl/kompass/company/qlic-internet-solutions-bv", "website": "https://qlic.nl", "phone": "", "email": "", "address": "", "city": "Amsterdam", "country": "Nederland", "sectors": "Internet services, Software development", "rating": 3 } ``` You can export results as **JSON**, **CSV**, or **Excel** directly from the Apify Console. ### Use cases - **Sales prospecting** — Build targeted B2B lead lists by sector or region - **Market research** — Map out competitors and suppliers in a specific industry - **CRM enrichment** — Add missing contact data to existing company lists - **Partner sourcing** — Find suppliers or distributors across Europe ### Setup & running locally #### Requirements - Python 3.10+ - [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli) #### Installation ```bash git clone https://github.com/LuukZout/luzodi.git cd luzodi python -m venv .venv .venv\Scripts\activate ## Windows pip install -r requirements.txt playwright install chromium ``` #### Run locally Edit `storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json` to set your search parameters, then: ```bash apify run ``` > **Note:** Running locally without a proxy may result in blocks. Deploy to Apify for reliable results using their residential proxy network. #### Deploy to Apify ```bash apify login apify push ``` Then start a run from the [Apify Console](https://console.apify.com). ### Notes - Phone numbers are hidden behind the B2BStars paywall and will be empty in output. - Results per page vary between 10–25 companies depending on the search query. - The Actor uses stealth Playwright to bypass bot detection. ### Built by **Luzodi** — [github.com/LuukZout/luzodi](https://github.com/LuukZout/luzodi) # Actor input Schema ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Keyword, sector, or company name to search for (e.g. 'software', 'construction', 'accountant'). ## `countries` (type: `string`): Comma-separated ISO country codes to filter results (e.g. NL, NL,BE, DE). ## `maxPages` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of search result pages to crawl. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQuery": "", "countries": "NL", "maxPages": 5 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): JSON array of company objects. Each object has the following fields: companyName (string), url (b2bstars profile URL), website (company website URL), phone (phone number, may be empty), email (email address, may be empty), address (street address, may be empty), city (city name), country (country name), sectors (comma-separated industry sectors), rating (integer 0–5, Kompass star rating). # 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("luzodi/b2bstars-kompass-scraper").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 📖?
