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 ## 🏭 ANIMA.it Member Companies Scraper [![Actor](https://img.shields.io/badge/Apify-Actor-%23e879f9)](https://console.apify.com/actors/kHZJ7h6sHNVuCr2t3) [![Build](https://img.shields.io/badge/Build-passing-brightgreen)](https://console.apify.com/actors/kHZJ7h6sHNVuCr2t3) [![Data](https://img.shields.io/badge/Fields-17-blue)](https://console.apify.com/actors/kHZJ7h6sHNVuCr2t3) Extract **complete member company data** from the official [ANIMA Confindustria directory](https://en.anima.it/member-companies/). ANIMA is the Italian Federation of the Mechanical Engineering Industries — this directory lists **700+** Italian manufacturers, suppliers, and engineering firms across dozens of sectors. --- ### 🔍 What You Get Every run produces **17 structured fields** per company: | # | Field | Description | |---|-------|-------------| | 1 | `name` | Company name | | 2 | `address` | Street address | | 3 | `postalCode` | 5-digit CAP | | 4 | `city` | Municipality | | 5 | `province` | 2-letter province | | 6 | `region` | Italian region | | 7 | `phone` | Phone number | | 8 | `fax` | Fax number | | 9 | `email` | Email address | | 10 | `website` | External website | | 11 | `url` | ANIMA detail page URL | | 12 | `descriptionIT` | Italian description | | 13 | `descriptionEN` | English description | | 14 | `products` | Product tags (array) | | 15 | `association` | ANIMA sector association | | 16 | `technology` | Technology keywords | | 17 | `images` | Image URLs (array) | --- ### ⚙️ Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | |-----------|------|---------|-------------| | `maxCompanies` | integer | `0` (unlimited) | Stop after this many companies | | `maxScrollCycles` | integer | `50` | Max scroll cycles on listing page | | `scrollUpDown` | boolean | `true` | Scroll up before scrolling down (triggers lazy load) | | `detailTimeoutSecs` | integer | `30` | Timeout per detail page | | `maxRetries` | integer | `3` | Retry attempts per failed detail page | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify proxy | Proxy configuration | --- ### 🚀 Quick Start 1. Open the [Actor in Apify Console](https://console.apify.com/actors/kHZJ7h6sHNVuCr2t3) 2. Click **Run** 3. Wait for the run to complete 4. Export results as **CSV**, **JSON**, **Excel**, or **XML** #### Via API ```bash curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/morkerr~anima-member-companies-scraper/runs?token=YOUR_API_TOKEN" \ -d '{"maxCompanies": 100}' \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" ```` *** ### 📋 Example Output ```json { "name": "2G Italia srl", "address": "Via dell'Artigianato, 15", "postalCode": "20090", "city": "Milano", "province": "MI", "region": "Lombardia", "phone": "+39 02 12345678", "fax": "", "email": "info@2gitalia.it", "website": "https://www.2gitalia.it", "url": "https://www.anima.it/aziende/2g-italia-srl.kl", "descriptionIT": "Azienda specializzata nella produzione di componenti per l'automazione industriale...", "descriptionEN": "Company specialized in the production of industrial automation components...", "products": ["Valvole", "Attuatori", "Sistemi di controllo"], "association": "ASSOCIAZIONE ITALIANA DI MECCANICA", "technology": "Tecnologia per l'automazione industriale", "images": ["https://www.anima.it/imgpub/aziende/logo-2g-italia.jpg"] } ``` *** ### 💡 Use Cases - **Lead generation** — build targeted B2B prospect lists for the Italian manufacturing sector - **Market research** — analyze the distribution of companies by region, sector, or product category - **CRM enrichment** — populate your CRM with verified company contacts - **Competitive intelligence** — monitor the Italian mechanical engineering landscape *** ### 🛡️ Proxy & Performance This actor uses **Apify proxy** by default. The ANIMA directory is a single-region Italian site with no aggressive anti-scraping measures — the default proxy configuration works well. Typical run time for all 700+ companies: **~15–25 minutes** depending on concurrency and network conditions. *** ### 📄 License This actor is provided as a data extraction tool.
