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 ## Google Maps Local Service Leads Scraper Find **local service businesses** on Google Maps by **trade + city** — ideal for marketing agencies, home-service franchises, and B2B outbound teams that need phone numbers and websites without enterprise data subscriptions. ### What you get Each dataset row includes: | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `name` | Business name | | `phone` | Phone from Maps (when listed) | | `website` | Website link (when listed) | | `address` | Formatted address | | `rating` / `reviewCount` | Google rating snapshot | | `googleMapsUrl` | Direct Maps link | | `searchCategory` / `searchLocation` | Your input for traceability | ### Example input ```json { "category": "HVAC contractor", "location": "Phoenix, AZ", "maxResults": 100, "includeNoPhone": false } ```` ### Pricing (recommended Store setup) Publish with **Pay per event** and charge on **`apify-default-dataset-item`** (each saved lead). Suggested starting price: **$2.00 / 1,000 leads** — undercuts mass-market Maps scrapers while you build reviews. Raise price after you have stable runs and 4.5+ rating. You keep **80%** of event revenue minus Apify compute. Only **paid Apify plan** users generate developer payouts. ### Tips for passive income 1. **Niche titles in Store SEO** — duplicate runs aren't needed; one Actor with great README beats ten clones. 2. **Trade-specific landing copy** — mention plumbers, roofers, dentists, lawyers in description (same Actor). 3. **Run your own lead-gen** — use the Actor for your outbound; Store revenue stacks on top. 4. **Quality score** — keep success rate high; fix failures within 48h. ### Limits - Uses **residential proxies** (Apify proxy usage applies). - Google Maps layout changes can break selectors — report issues via Actor Issues tab. - Not affiliated with Google. Comply with Maps Terms and local prospecting laws (CAN-SPAM, etc.). ### Local development ```bash npm install cp .actor/input_schema.json storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json # optional npm start ``` ### Deploy ```bash apify login apify push ``` Then: Console → **Publication** → submit to Store → **Monetization** → Pay per event → primary event = dataset item. # Actor input Schema ## `category` (type: `string`): Type of local business to find (e.g. plumber, HVAC, roofing contractor, dentist). ## `location` (type: `string`): City, neighborhood, or region (e.g. Austin TX, Brooklyn NY). ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of businesses to extract. ## `language` (type: `string`): Optional locale code for Maps UI (e.g. en, es). ## `includeNoPhone` (type: `boolean`): If false, only save businesses that have a phone number on Maps. ## Actor input object example ```json { "category": "plumber", "location": "Austin, TX", "maxResults": 50, "language": "en", "includeNoPhone": true } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `leads` (type: `string`): No description # 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 = { "category": "plumber", "location": "Austin, TX", "maxResults": 50, "language": "en" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("mahogany_songbird/local-service-leads-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 📖?
