## 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

## 6sense Account Scraper

Collects accounts from the public technology directory on 6sense.com. Pick a technology (or a whole category) and the actor returns the companies listed as using it — company name, employee range, city, region, country and public social profiles — each row also carrying the technology's category, estimated market share, current customer count and category rank.

### Input

| Field | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Technology category | `crm-platforms` | Category slug from the technology directory, e.g. `crm-platforms`, `marketing-automation`, `analytics`, `live-chat`. |
| Technology | `""` (empty) | Single technology or vendor inside the category, e.g. `salesforce`. Leave empty to walk the whole category and collect accounts for every technology in it. |
| Technology page URLs | `[]` | Optional list of specific technology page URLs. When set, the category and technology fields are ignored. |
| Max results | `25` | Maximum number of account records to return across all matched technologies (1–2000). |
| Proxy configuration | Apify Proxy on | Optional. Enable a US-based proxy for the most reliable results. |

### Output

One record per account, with flat fields first and the source payload kept under `raw`.

```json
{
  "company_name": "HubSpot",
  "employee_range": "10,000+",
  "city": "Newton",
  "region": "Massachusetts",
  "country": "United States",
  "linkedin_url": "https://linkedin.com/company/hubspot",
  "twitter_url": "https://twitter.com/hubspot",
  "facebook_url": "https://facebook.com/hubspot",
  "sixsense_company_url": "https://6sense.com/company/hubspot/5b8916307c866675e5109512",
  "technology": "15Five",
  "technology_slug": "15five",
  "category": "360 Degree Feedback",
  "category_slug": "360-degree-feedback",
  "technology_url": "https://6sense.com/tech/360-degree-feedback/15five-market-share",
  "technology_market_share": "0.17%",
  "technology_customers": 201,
  "technology_rank": 11,
  "raw": { ... }
}
```

### Notes

- Runs with empty input: it walks the `crm-platforms` category and returns up to 25 accounts.
- Enable a US-based proxy for the most reliable results.
- The directory publishes a sample of accounts per technology rather than the full customer list. Use the collected data in line with 6sense's terms of use; intended for research and analysis.

# Actor input Schema

## `category` (type: `string`):

Category slug from the 6sense technology directory, for example 'crm-platforms', 'marketing-automation', 'analytics' or 'live-chat'. Used to build the technology page address.

## `technology` (type: `string`):

Single technology or vendor to look up inside the category, for example 'salesforce' or 'hubspot'. Leave empty to walk the whole category and collect accounts for every technology listed in it.

## `technology_urls` (type: `array`):

Optional list of specific 6sense technology page URLs to scrape. When set, the category and technology fields are ignored.

## `max_results` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of account records to return across all matched technologies.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Proxy settings for the run. Enable a US-based proxy for the most reliable results, especially for sites that limit non-US or datacenter traffic. Optional — leave off to run directly.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "category": "crm-platforms",
  "technology": "salesforce",
  "technology_urls": [],
  "max_results": 25,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}
```

# 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 = {
    "category": "crm-platforms",
    "technology": "salesforce",
    "technology_urls": [],
    "max_results": 25,
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true
    }
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("moving_beacon-owner1/6sense-account-scraper").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 = {
    "category": "crm-platforms",
    "technology": "salesforce",
    "technology_urls": [],
    "max_results": 25,
    "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": True },
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("moving_beacon-owner1/6sense-account-scraper").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)

  "technology": "salesforce",
  "technology_urls": [],
  "max_results": 25,
  "proxyConfiguration": {

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,moving_beacon-owner1/6sense-account-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
