## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Worldwide Local Business Leads (OpenStreetMap)

![local-business-leads](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/yfnvtbimUC1yUnStx/records/local-business-leads.png?signature=1h4Kbcsb2CTGxlUsvqPGt)

Point at a city and a business type — get a **ranked lead list** with phone, email, website and opening hours when OpenStreetMap has them.

This Actor deliberately does **not** scrape Google Maps. It geocodes with Nominatim and queries the Overpass API, so it works worldwide without residential proxy wars and with a clear data licence (ODbL).

### What you get

Each row is a business with a **lead score** that rewards contactability:

- phone / email / website present
- structured address
- opening hours

Sort is already by score. Raise **Minimum lead score** or require a phone to keep only outreach-ready rows.

### Inputs

- **Location** — any city or region Nominatim understands
- **Business type** — restaurant, dentist, real estate agency, …
- **Custom OSM tag** — e.g. `shop=bicycle` when the preset list is not enough
- **Country codes** — optional disambiguation (`us`, `de,at`)

### Attribution

Data © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database Licence. Verify contacts before cold outreach; OSM completeness varies by city.

# Actor input Schema

## `location` (type: `string`):

City, region or address anywhere in the world, for example Berlin, Austin TX, Lisboa or Shinjuku Tokyo.

## `placeType` (type: `string`):

What to look for. Use a preset or an OpenStreetMap tag such as shop=bicycle.

## `customPlaceType` (type: `string`):

Overrides Business type when set. Example: shop=bicycle or amenity=veterinary.

## `countryCodes` (type: `string`):

Comma-separated ISO country codes to disambiguate Nominatim, for example de,at or us.

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

How many items to process in one run. Higher is more thorough but slower and more expensive.

## `radiusMeters` (type: `integer`):

How far from the geocoded city centre to search. Smaller is faster; 6000 covers a typical city core.

## `minLeadScore` (type: `integer`):

0–100 style score based on phone, email, website and address completeness. Raise it to keep only contactable leads.

## `requirePhone` (type: `boolean`):

Drop businesses that have no phone number in OpenStreetMap.

## `requireWebsite` (type: `boolean`):

Drop businesses that have no website in OpenStreetMap.

## `overpassQuery` (type: `string`):

Advanced: paste a full Overpass query. When set, location and business type are ignored.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "location": "Berlin",
  "placeType": "restaurant",
  "maxItems": 100,
  "radiusMeters": 6000,
  "minLeadScore": 20,
  "requirePhone": false,
  "requireWebsite": false
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `leads` (type: `string`):

Ranked local businesses with contact fields when available.

## `summary` (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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("mocha_tassel/local-business-leads").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);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("mocha_tassel/local-business-leads").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call mocha_tassel/local-business-leads --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,mocha_tassel/local-business-leads"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
