## 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

### 🏃 Find public Strava athletes, clubs, and content

For sports researchers, coaches, marketing teams, and developers, this Actor searches public Strava pages from one shared list of keywords. It returns structured rows for athletes, clubs, activities, challenges, events, training pages, and Community Hub posts or help articles, with source links, context, and public contact details when available. Use the data to study sports communities, find relevant public pages, and review possible public contacts in one dataset.

- Search public pages for broad topics with **[Strava App](https://apify.com/maximedupre/strava/examples/strava-app)** and review matching source links.
- Find public running athletes, clubs, and content with **[Strava Running](https://apify.com/maximedupre/strava/examples/strava-running)** for a focused sports search.
- Look up public Community Hub help pages about pricing with **[Is Strava Free](https://apify.com/maximedupre/strava/examples/is-strava-free)**.
- Search public Community Hub guidance about devices with **[Strava Watch](https://apify.com/maximedupre/strava/examples/strava-watch)**.
- Find public watch compatibility help pages with **[Strava Compatible Watches](https://apify.com/maximedupre/strava/examples/strava-compatible-watches)**.
- Find public Community Hub help pages about account billing with **[Strava Manage Subscription](https://apify.com/maximedupre/strava/examples/strava-manage-subscription)**.

#### 🧾 Structured Strava search rows

The Actor saves the first eligible occurrence of each public source item. If the same item appears again from another keyword, URL, handle, or ID, that later match is ignored, so the row keeps the first saved match context. Optional fields are included only when the source provides them.

#### ▶️ Search public Strava data

1. Add one or more keywords of the same kind to search in one run.
2. Add a location, email domain, phone country, or Community Hub content filter when needed.
3. Set `maxResultsPerKeyword` if you want a smaller distinct result set for each keyword.
4. Start the run and open the dataset from the Output tab.

All keywords in a run use the same optional filters. The Actor does not run several independently configured search batches in one run.

#### ⚙️ Input

**Input fields**

| Field | Type | What it does |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `keywords` | array of strings | Required. Searches public Strava pages with one or more words or phrases. |
| `location` | string | Optional. Narrows public results to a city, region, or country. Leave it blank to search all locations. |
| `emailDomains` | array of strings | Optional. Keeps matches with public email addresses from the listed domains. Leave it blank to include any available public email domain. |
| `phoneCountry` | string | Optional. Keeps matches with public phone numbers from the selected country. Leave it blank to include any available public phone number. |
| `communityContentType` | string | Optional. Chooses `all`, `posts`, or `helpArticles` for Community Hub content. Other supported result types are not changed by this setting. |
| `maxResultsPerKeyword` | integer | Optional. Sets the maximum number of distinct results for each keyword. Leave it empty to return all available results until the source is exhausted. |

**Example input**

This is the public input from successful hosted QA default-input run `irpmm5jPFBljPe8Jm`.

```json
{
  "keywords": [
    "marathon"
  ],
  "communityContentType": "all",
  "maxResultsPerKeyword": 10
}
```

Leaving `maxResultsPerKeyword` empty returns all available results until the source is exhausted. The same rule applies to any other optional filter that is left blank: it does not add a restriction.

#### 🧾 Output

The Output tab opens the default dataset with the structured rows from the run. Optional fields are included only when the source provides them.

#### ❓ FAQ

##### What happens when the same public item matches more than one keyword?

The first eligible occurrence is saved. A later match for the same source item from another keyword, URL, handle, or ID is ignored, so the row keeps the first match context.

##### Which public Strava sources can appear?

Rows can represent athletes, clubs, activities, challenges, events, training content, Community Hub posts, or help articles when a matching public page is available.

##### Does the Actor access private Strava data?

No. It searches publicly accessible Strava pages only. Account-only and authenticated data are not included.

##### Will every row include an email address or phone number?

No. Contact details are included only when the source exposes them publicly and they match the optional filters. A missing contact does not remove the main public result.

##### How does the per-keyword limit work?

`maxResultsPerKeyword` limits distinct results separately for each submitted keyword. Leave it empty to return all available results until the source is exhausted.

##### Can I narrow the search?

Yes. Use `location` for a geographic filter, `emailDomains` for public email domains, `phoneCountry` for public phone numbers, and `communityContentType` for Community Hub posts or help articles.

##### Can I run different settings for different keywords?

No. One run uses one shared keyword list and one shared set of optional filters. Use separate runs when the searches need different settings.

##### What does `publishedAt` mean?

It is the source publication date for content when the source provides one. It is not a capture-time field.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
