## 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

## Clutch Agency Scraper

Collects B2B agency listings from the Clutch.co directory. Point it at any Clutch category or filtered directory page and it returns each agency's name, rating, review count, minimum project size, hourly rate, employee-count band, verified status, location and full address, phone, website and the mix of services they provide (with allocation percentages). Optionally enriches each agency from its profile page with founded year, full description and focus areas.

### Input

| Field | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Directory URL | `https://clutch.co/agencies/digital-marketing` | A Clutch.co directory URL — a category page or a filtered directory URL copied from Clutch (URL filters are preserved). |
| Max results | `20` | Maximum number of agency records to return. The directory is paged automatically. |
| Fetch agency profile details | `false` | When enabled, each agency's profile page is also fetched to add founded year, full description, focus areas and full street address. |
| Proxy configuration | Apify Proxy on | Optional. Enable a US-based proxy for the most reliable results. |

### Output

Each record is one agency from the directory. Example:

```json

# Actor input Schema

## `category_url` (type: `string`):

A Clutch.co directory URL to scrape — a category page (e.g. 'https://clutch.co/agencies/digital-marketing', 'https://clutch.co/agencies/seo', 'https://clutch.co/web-developers') or a filtered directory URL copied from Clutch (location, budget and service filters in the URL are preserved).

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

Maximum number of agency records to return. Results are paged through the directory automatically.

## `include_details` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, each agency's Clutch profile page is also fetched and the record is enriched with founded year, full description, focus areas and full street address. Slower — one extra request per agency.

## `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_url": "https://clutch.co/agencies/digital-marketing",
  "max_results": 20,
  "include_details": false,
  "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_url": "https://clutch.co/agencies/digital-marketing",
    "max_results": 20,
    "include_details": false,
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true
    }
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("moving_beacon-owner1/clutch-agency-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_url": "https://clutch.co/agencies/digital-marketing",
    "max_results": 20,
    "include_details": False,
    "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": True },
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("moving_beacon-owner1/clutch-agency-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)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "category_url": "https://clutch.co/agencies/digital-marketing",
  "max_results": 20,
  "include_details": false,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}' |
apify call moving_beacon-owner1/clutch-agency-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,moving_beacon-owner1/clutch-agency-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).
