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 ## Doctor of Credit Bonus Scraper — Selenium Edition (Apify Actor) Scrapes bank-bonus listings from [Doctor of Credit](https://www.doctorofcredit.com) ### Input | Field | Type | Prefill | Description | |----------------------|---------|----------------------------------|-------------| | `slug` *(req.)* | string | `"best-bank-account-bonuses"` | DoC post path (with or without slashes). | | `minAmount` | integer | `100` | Drop matches below this $ amount. `0` = no floor. | | `maxResults` | integer | `50` | Cap on stored bonuses (1–500). | | `headless` | boolean | `true` | Run Chrome in Xvfb. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify Residential US | Optional; DoC has no anti-bot. | Useful slugs: | Slug | What it lists | |------|---------------| | `best-bank-account-bonuses` | Canonical bank/checking/savings bonuses (updated weekly) | | `best-credit-card-bonuses` | All credit card sign-up bonuses | | `best-personal-credit-card-bonuses` | Personal cards only | | `best-business-credit-card-bonuses` | Business cards only | Example input: ```json { "slug": "best-bank-account-bonuses", "minAmount": 200, "maxResults": 100 } ```` ### Output Each record: ```json { "amount": 300, "title": "Chase Total Checking", "url": "https://www.doctorofcredit.com/chase-300-checking-coupon/", "raw_text": "$300 Chase Total Checking", "source_slug": "best-bank-account-bonuses" } ``` - `amount` — integer dollar amount the regex parsed - `title` — text after the `$AMOUNT` in the matched element (best-effort; sometimes prose) - `url` — the link the matched element points to (may be the DoC detail page or the bank's page) - `raw_text` — exact text the regex matched against, for debugging - `source_slug` — the DoC post this came from A `SUMMARY` blob lands on the KV store with the slug, parsed parameters, result count, and total elapsed time. # Actor input Schema ## `slug` (type: `string`): The Doctor of Credit post path (with or without leading/trailing slashes). The default 'best-bank-account-bonuses' is the canonical bonuses roundup, updated weekly. Other useful slugs: 'best-credit-card-bonuses', 'best-personal-credit-card-bonuses', 'best-business-credit-card-bonuses'. ## `minAmount` (type: `integer`): Drop matches below this dollar amount. Useful for filtering out small mentions (e.g. $5 referral bonuses) when you only care about real signup bonuses. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Cap on stored bonuses (1–500). The original DoctorOfCreditBrowser hardcoded 50; this exposes it as a knob. ## `headless` (type: `boolean`): Run Chrome without a visible window. SeleniumBase UC mode + Xvfb means this still uses a real Chrome process (not --headless flag, which fingerprint detectors target). Leave true. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Doctor of Credit is a WordPress blog with no anti-bot — a proxy isn't strictly required, but Apify Residential US still helps avoid sporadic rate-limiting if you run this on a tight schedule. ## Actor input object example ```json { "slug": "best-bank-account-bonuses", "minAmount": 100, "maxResults": 50, "headless": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "slug": "best-bank-account-bonuses", "minAmount": 100, "maxResults": 50, "headless": true }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("moving_beacon-owner1/doctor-of-credit-bonus-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
