Product or keyword phrases

keywords

Required

What you sell, in the words buyers use: a product category, a competitor name or a problem. Each phrase is searched on every source and a post must contain all its words. One to 20 phrases. Examples: CRM, invoicing software, Notion alternative, password manager.

Type:array

Extra intent phrases (optional)

intentPhrases

Optional

Optional. Your own buying-signal phrases on top of the built-in ones (looking for, can anyone recommend, alternative to, is there a tool, what do you use, switching from, willing to pay and more). Each phrase found in a post adds 25 points. Example: need a quote, cheaper than.

Type:array

Default:

[]

Sources

sources

Optional

Which public sources to search. Leave empty for Bluesky, Hacker News, Discourse forums, Stack Exchange, Mastodon and Lemmy (plus Reddit until Reddit retires its public feeds on Nov 13, 2026). dev.to is off by default because articles rarely show buying intent. Example: ["hackernews", "discourse"].

Type:string[]

Look back (days)

lastNDays

Optional

Only posts from the last N days (1-60). Use 1 with a daily Schedule for monitoring. Example: 7.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:60

Default:7

Minimum intent score

minIntentScore

Optional

Only return leads scoring at least this (0-100). 40 needs at least one buying-intent phrase; 60+ is strong intent (a question plus a clear ask). Set 0 to get every keyword mention. Example: 40.

Type:integer

Minimum:0

Maximum:100

Default:40

Max leads per source

maxLeadsPerSource

Optional

Highest-scoring leads kept per source. Caps your cost: at most this many x number of sources leads are charged. Example: 50.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:1000

Default:50

Languages

languages

Optional

ISO language codes to keep when a source reports the post language (Bluesky, Mastodon). Empty list = all languages. Example: en, de.

Type:array

Default:

[
  "en"
]

Stack Exchange sites

stackExchangeSites

Optional

Stack Exchange site names to search (api.stackexchange.com 'site' values). Software Recommendations (softwarerecs) is where people ask for tools. Example: softwarerecs, webapps, superuser, stackoverflow, wordpress.

Type:array

Default:

[
  "softwarerecs",
  "webapps",
  "superuser"
]

Mastodon instances

mastodonInstances

Optional

Mastodon servers whose public hashtag timeline is read. Each keyword becomes a hashtag ("project management" -> #projectmanagement). Up to 5. Example: mastodon.social, fosstodon.org.

Type:array

Default:

[
  "mastodon.social"
]

Discourse forums

discourseForums

Optional

Public Discourse forums to search (host names). Leave empty for the built-in list of 25 IT, privacy, self-hosting, Linux, Mac, e-commerce, no-code and creative-software communities such as community.spiceworks.com, discuss.privacyguides.net, forum.level1techs.com and talk.macpowerusers.com. Add the forum where your buyers hang out. Up to 40. Example: community.spiceworks.com.

Type:array

Lemmy instances

lemmyInstances

Optional

Lemmy servers to search (their search covers posts federated from other servers too). Up to 3. Example: lemmy.world.

Type:array

Default:

[
  "lemmy.world"
]

Seen-leads store (monitor mode)

seenStore

Optional

Optional. Pick or create a key-value store in your account (e.g. one named my-lead-monitor). The Actor remembers every lead it returned there, marks each lead isNew, and with 'Only new leads' on skips leads you already got. Use with an Apify Schedule.

Type:string

Only new leads

onlyNew

Optional

Needs a seen-leads store. Skip leads returned in earlier runs so a daily schedule only delivers (and charges for) fresh ones. Example: true.

Type:boolean

Default:false
