## 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

## Pagini Aurii Romania Scraper

Scrape [paginiaurii.ro](https://www.paginiaurii.ro/) (Pagini Aurii) into one row per **business**: name, phone, email when listed, website, address, opening hours.

Works from a keyword plus optional city, a nationwide term, or a pasted `/cauta/` or `/companii/{city}/L{id}/` URL. Cards and profiles answer without Apify Proxy.

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

### Why use this scraper?

- Phone and address sit on the search card. Email and website appear when Pagini Aurii publishes them.
- Profile pages add the week of hours (`#opening-hours`).
- City is `{term}+{City}` in `/cauta/`.
- Optional harvest of the business site when the directory has no inbox.

### Overview

Built for lead lists and local research on Romanian companies. Each dataset item is one listing from paginiaurii.ro (FCR Media / WeNet).

### Supported inputs

| Input | What it does |
|---|---|
| `searchTerms` | What you type in Pagini Aurii, e.g. `restaurant`, `instalator` |
| `locations` | City appended as `+City`. Empty = nationwide |
| `startUrls` | `https://www.paginiaurii.ro/cauta/...` or `/companii/.../L{id}/...` |
| `maxItems` | Stop after N unique listings (free plan cap 50) |
| `harvestWebsiteEmail` | Fetch the business site if the profile has no inbox |
| `proxy` | Leave off |

Unsupported: the old Android packages (`ro.paginiaurii.app` and twins) — Play 404.

### Use cases

| Who | Why |
|---|---|
| Sales / agencies | Romanian phones and emails from a category |
| Researchers | Hours, city, and postcode coverage |
| SEO / maps | Website + coordinates per listing |

### How it works

1. Build `https://www.paginiaurii.ro/cauta/{term}/` or `/{term}+{City}/`. Page N is `/{N}/`.
2. Parse `.result` LocalBusiness cards.
3. Open `/companii/{city}/L{id}/{slug}/` for mailto, website, and the Orar table.
4. Charge `contact-phone` / `contact-email` after `pushData`.
5. If still no email and harvest is on, fetch the business homepage/contact page.

### Input configuration

| Field | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `searchTerms` | string\[] | one of terms/URLs | e.g. `restaurant` |
| `locations` | string\[] | no | e.g. `Bucuresti` |
| `startUrls` | url\[] | no | `/cauta/` or `/companii/` |
| `maxItems` | integer | no | default 50 |
| `maxPages` | integer | no | default 20 |
| `scrapeDetails` | boolean | no | default true |
| `harvestWebsiteEmail` | boolean | no | default true |
| `maxConcurrency` | integer | no | default 5 |
| `proxy` | proxy | no | default off |
