Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Fair Trade Federation Directory Scraper — verified fair-trade businesses **Get clean, structured data on Fair Trade Federation (FTF) member businesses** — verified fair-trade brands, wholesalers, importers, and retailers. Filter by **country / US state**, **business type**, and **sourcing region**, export to JSON or CSV, ready for your CRM, spreadsheet, or LLM pipeline. **Organization-level data only — no personal contacts.** Built for ethical-sourcing & sustainable-procurement teams, retailers seeking verified fair-trade suppliers, wholesale buyers, and researchers mapping the fair-trade economy. ### Why this actor FTF membership is a vetted ethical-sourcing signal, but the directory is browse-only with no export. This actor turns it into a **clean, filterable, de-duplicated feed**, on demand and pay-per-result. There's no comparable fair-trade directory feed on the market. ### What you get per organization Organization-level fields only: - **Org:** name, organization type, primary business type, sales channels - **Location:** country, US state, city, address - **Sourcing:** source regions, brick-and-mortar flag - **Links/contact:** website, generic business phone, generic role email (when published), profile URL - **Membership:** member since, status > **No personal data.** The source stores a named staff contact + a personal email on each member record — **this actor strips those entirely** and never emits a person's name or personal email. Only generic role mailboxes (e.g. `info@…`) are ever kept. ### Input | Field | Type | What it does | |---|---|---| | `countries` | list | Countries or US states (`usa`, `canada`, `CA`, `NC`). Empty = all. | | `businessTypes` | list | Free-text match on org/business type (`retailer`, `wholesale`, `producer`, `importer`). | | `sourceRegions` | list | Free-text match on sourcing region (`south america`, `africa`, `asia`). | | `maxResults` | integer | Cap the run (small = cheap test). `0` = no limit. | #### Example output (one record) ```json { "name": "A Beautiful Calling", "country": "USA", "state": "WI", "primaryBusinessType": "Retailer Buying from Various Wholesalers", "organizationType": ["Wholesale Handmade"], "sourceRegions": ["South America"], "website": "https://www.abeautifulcalling.com", "email": "info@abeautifulcalling.com", "memberStatus": "Active", "profileUrl": "https://fairtradefederation.org/members/a-beautiful-calling/", "source": "fairtradefederation.org" } ```` ### How it works (and how it stays compliant) - Reads FTF's **public WordPress REST API** (no login) — results served **on demand** for your run. - Honours `robots.txt` (allow-all on listings); polite, rate-limited, identified User-Agent. - **Organization-level only**; named staff contacts and personal emails are stripped — PDPA/GDPR-friendly. - You are responsible for using the extracted data in compliance with the source's terms and applicable law. ### Pricing Pay-per-result — you only pay for the organizations you actually get. Run a small `maxResults` first to preview. *** ### Related actors (certified-sustainable companies) Building an ESG / ethical-sourcing list?
