## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Clutch.co Scraper

Build a B2B agency lead list from Clutch.co at $2.50 per 1,000 companies: website and domain, hourly rate, team size, rating, location and, when you ask for them, published contacts and project budgets. Export JSON or CSV.

### Who it is for

- **Sales teams and SDRs** selling to agencies: filter by rate, size and location, then enrich by domain.
- **Companies hiring an agency**: compare rates, minimum project size and review scores across a category.
- **Market researchers** sizing an agency niche by country or service.

### What you get

- Company name, profile URL, rating, review count, hourly rate, team size, minimum project size, founding year and location.
- The company website with tracking parameters removed, and the registrable domain.
- Sponsored and featured cards flagged, so you can skip them.
- Optional profile details: service percentages, industries, client focus and review scores.
- Optional published contacts: email and phone, charged only when returned.
- Optional project facts from public reviews: budget, category, client company, reviewer role, rating and date. The review text itself is not returned.

### Sample output

A real row from a run on the digital-marketing category, trimmed:

```json
{
  "name": "NinjaPromo",
  "sourceUrl": "https://clutch.co/profile/ninjapromo",
  "website": "https://ninjapromo.io/",
  "websiteDomain": "ninjapromo.io",
  "rating": 4.9,
  "reviewsCount": 97,
  "hourlyRate": { "min": 50, "max": 99, "currency": "USD", "raw": "$50 - $99 / hr" },
  "employees": { "min": 250, "max": 999, "raw": "250 - 999" },
  "minProjectSize": { "amount": 5000, "currency": "USD", "raw": "$5,000+" },
  "yearFounded": 2017,
  "location": { "city": "New York", "region": "NY", "country": "US" },
  "reviewScores": { "quality": 4.9, "schedule": 4.9, "cost": 4.8, "willingToRefer": 4.9 },
  "phone": "+44 20 4577 2405",
  "projects": [
    {
      "budget": "$50,000 to $199,999",
      "category": "Other Digital Marketing",
      "reviewerRole": "Chief Marketing Officer",
      "rating": 5,
      "date": "Jan 3, 2022"
    }
  ],
  "isSponsored": false
}
```

`email` and `emailSource` appear when the profile publishes an email or one can be inferred from the website.

### How to use

1. Paste a Clutch category URL, for example `https://clutch.co/agencies/digital-marketing`. Location filters belong in that URL, for example `/agencies/digital-marketing/uk`.
2. Leave Maximum companies at 10 for a preview. Turn on profile details, contacts or project facts only when you want those extra rows priced.
3. Export JSON or CSV. Sort by `rating` or filter `isSponsored`.

```json
{
  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://clutch.co/agencies/digital-marketing" }],
  "maxCompanies": 10
}
```

### Input

| Field | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| `startUrls` | one digital-marketing category | Category or profile URLs on clutch.co. |
| `maxCompanies` | 10 | Stop after this many companies. |
| `includeProfileDetails` | false | Service mix, industries, client focus and scores. Extra event. |
| `includePublishedContacts` | false | Published or inferred email and phone. Charged only when returned. |
| `includeProjectFacts` | false | Budget, client, reviewer name and role from public reviews. No review text. |
| `skipSponsored` | false | Drop Sponsor and featured cards. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | residential | A deep category from a datacenter address starts returning Cloudflare pages. The measured 1,000-company run used residential. |

### Pricing

You pay for each company delivered. Profile details, contacts and project facts are extra and only when that part of the run returns them. An empty category is not charged.

| You take | You pay |
|---|---|
| 1 company | $0.0025 |
| 1,000 companies | $2.50 |
| 1,000 companies plus profile details | $4.00 |
| 1 published contact | $0.008 |
| 1 project fact | $0.002 |

Plan discounts: Bronze 10% off, Silver 20% off, Gold, Platinum and Diamond 30% off. A run uses 512 MB.

### Use with AI agents (MCP)

### Use via API

### FAQ

#### How reliable is it?

In our acceptance run of 1,000 companies from one category, 20 of 20 list pages loaded, every company had a unique id and 1,000 of 1,000 had a website domain. A Cloudflare page with no company cards counts as a failed page, not as an empty category.

#### Can I filter by country or city?

Yes. Open the category on clutch.co, apply the location filter, and paste that URL.

#### Does it return review text?

No. Project facts are the budget, the client company, the category, the reviewer role and name as published, the rating and the date. The text of the review is not included.

#### Why are some websites filled from the profile?

Sponsored cards hide the website behind Clutch's click tracker. When the domain is missing, it is filled from the profile. That fill is not the profile-details charge.

#### Is the data legal to use?

This Actor returns publicly available business data, including the contact fields named in its input. You are the controller of that data and you are responsible for having a lawful basis, including for any message you send. This Actor does not send messages and does not keep a copy of the results.
