## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## GetApp Software Scraper

Collects software listings from the GetApp.com business-software directory. Point it at any GetApp category or search results page and it walks the pages for you, returning one flat record per product: name, product page, tagline, description, logo, average rating and review count, the five GetApp sub-scores (value for money, features, ease of use, customer support, likelihood to recommend), the 1–5 star breakdown, popular features and the category leader / premium flags. An optional detail mode also visits each product's own page to add the vendor, pricing, platforms, typical customers, support and training options, integration count and alternatives.

### Input

| Field | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `category_url` | `https://www.getapp.com/customer-management-software/crm/` | A GetApp category or search results page to collect listings from. Pagination is followed automatically. |
| `max_results` | `25` | Maximum software listings to return (1–1000, 25 per page). |
| `include_details` | `false` | Also fetch each product's own page for vendor, pricing, platforms, integrations and alternatives (one extra request per product). |
| `min_rating` | `0` | Keep only products with an average rating at or above this number of stars. `0` keeps every listing. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Optional | Enable a US-based proxy for the most reliable results. |

### Output

Each result is one software listing:

```json

With `include_details` enabled, records additionally carry `overview`, `company_name`, `vendor_name`, `vendor_city`, `vendor_state`, `vendor_country`, `vendor_website`, `pricing_amount`, `pricing_currency`, `pricing_periodicity`, `pricing_model`, `pricing_categories`, `platforms`, `typical_customers`, `support_options`, `training_options`, `integrations_count`, `categories`, `alternatives` and `last_updated_on`.

### Notes

- Runs with empty input (defaults to the CRM category).
- Enable a US-based proxy for the most reliable results.
- Any GetApp category or search results page works as `category_url` — copy one straight from the browser address bar.
- Intended for market research and competitive analysis; please respect GetApp's terms of service.

# Actor input Schema

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

A GetApp category or search results page to collect listings from, e.g. https://www.getapp.com/customer-management-software/crm/ or https://www.getapp.com/marketing-software/marketing-automation/. Pagination is followed automatically.

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

Maximum number of software listings to return. Results are paged 25 per page.

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

When enabled, each product's own GetApp page is also fetched and the record is enriched with vendor details, pricing, platforms, typical customers, support and training options, integration count and alternatives. Slower — one extra request per product.

## `min_rating` (type: `integer`):

Keep only products whose average rating is at or above this number of stars. Leave at 0 to keep every listing.

## `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://www.getapp.com/customer-management-software/crm/",
  "max_results": 25,
  "include_details": false,
  "min_rating": 0,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true

## 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 = {

// 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);

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "category_url": "https://www.getapp.com/customer-management-software/crm/",
  "max_results": 25,
  "include_details": false,
  "min_rating": 0,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}' |
apify call moving_beacon-owner1/getapp-software-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

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