## 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

## Pages d'Or / Gouden Gids BE Scraper

Scrape [pagesdor.be](https://www.pagesdor.be/) (French) and [goudengids.be](https://www.goudengids.be/) (Dutch) — Belgium's FCR Media Yellow Pages — into one row per business: name, phone, email when listed, website, address, opening hours, VAT/KBO.

Works from a keyword plus optional city, a nationwide category, or a pasted `/entreprises/` `/entreprise/` or `/bedrijven/` `/bedrijf/` URL. No Apify Proxy required on current HTML.

**Pricing:** $0.005 per listing (`pushData`). Extra `contact-phone` $0.002 and `contact-email` $0.05 when those fields are present.

### Why use it

- Server-rendered JSON-LD on category pages (`Plumber` / `LocalBusiness` + phone + hours).
- Profile pages add email, the real website, hours, and VAT/KBO.
- One actor covers both language twins. Optional harvest of the business site when the directory has no inbox.

### Input

| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| `searchTerms` | What you would type, e.g. `plombiers` / `loodgieters` |
| `locations` | City. Empty = nationwide category |
| `siteLanguage` | `fr` (pagesdor.be), `nl` (goudengids.be), or `both` |
| `startUrls` | Category or profile URLs on either host |
| `maxItems` | Stop after N unique listings (free plan cap 50) |
| `scrapeDetails` | Open each profile (default on) |
| `proxy` | Leave off |

### Output fields

`listingId`, `name`, `phone`, `phones`, `email`, `website`, `street`, `postalCode`, `city`, `address`, `hours`, `rating`, `reviewCount`, `vatId`, `kbo`, `profileUrl`, `source`, `language`, `searchTerm`, `scrapedAt`.

### How it works

1. Build `/entreprises/{term}/` on pagesdor.be or `/bedrijven/{term}/` on goudengids.be. City goes first: `/entreprises/{city}/{term}/`.
2. Parse `ItemList` JSON-LD (schema.org subtypes such as `Plumber`, not only `LocalBusiness`) and `data-listing` cards.
3. Open `/entreprise/{city}/{id}/{slug}/` or `/bedrijf/{city}/{id}/{slug}/` for email + website + hours.
4. If still no email, fetch the business homepage/contact page.

### Sample input

```json
{
  "searchTerms": ["plombiers"],
  "locations": ["Bruxelles"],
  "siteLanguage": "fr",
  "maxItems": 10,
  "scrapeDetails": true,
  "proxy": { "useApifyProxy": false }
}
```

### FAQ

**Does this cover the Netherlands?** No. Use `memo23/goudengids-nl-scraper` for goudengids.nl.

**Why is email sometimes empty?** Search cards omit it. Turn `scrapeDetails` on. Some businesses never publish an inbox.

**Cloudflare / Incapsula?** Homepage and listing HTML currently return 200 without a proxy. If a run hits a challenge, retry with RESIDENTIAL + Unblocker.

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Paste pagesdor.be or goudengids.be search or profile links. Examples: <code>https://www.pagesdor.be/entreprises/plombiers/</code>, <code>https://www.pagesdor.be/entreprises/Bruxelles/plombiers/</code>, <code>https://www.goudengids.be/bedrijven/loodgieters/</code>, or <code>https://www.pagesdor.be/entreprise/Rhode-Saint-Genèse/L11299013/Domitherm/</code>.

## `searchTerms` (type: `array`):

What you would type into Pages d'Or / Gouden Gids, e.g. <b>plombiers</b>, <b>restaurants</b>, <b>avocats</b>, <b>loodgieters</b>. One row per term. Every term is searched in every city below. Leave cities empty for a nationwide BE category. A pagesdor.be or goudengids.be search or profile URL also works here.

## `locations` (type: `array`):

Belgian city or province, e.g. <b>Bruxelles</b>, <b>Anvers</b>, <b>Liège</b>, <b>Antwerpen</b>, <b>Brugge</b>. Empty = nationwide category.

## `siteLanguage` (type: `string`):

French uses pagesdor.be (<code>/entreprises/</code>). Dutch uses goudengids.be (<code>/bedrijven/</code>). Both runs the same query on each host and dedupes by listing id.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many unique businesses across the whole run. Free plan is capped at 50.

## `scrapeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Loads the /entreprise/ or /bedrijf/ page for email, website, hours, and VAT/KBO. Turn off to keep search-row fields only.

## `harvestWebsiteEmail` (type: `boolean`):

If the directory profile has no inbox, fetch the business website homepage/contact page.

## `maxPages` (type: `integer`):

Page N is <code>/entreprises/{term}/{N}/</code> or <code>/bedrijven/{term}/{N}/</code>.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

How many pages and profiles to load at the same time.

## `proxy` (type: `object`):

Leave off. Category and profile pages currently answer without Apify Proxy. Use RESIDENTIAL+Unblocker only if a run returns 403 / a challenge page.

## MCP server setup

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).
