## 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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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

## Company Data Search API - industry, size and location

**Company Data Search API** turns a large global company dataset into a clean, structured export. Search companies by industry, employee count, location, founding year and tags, and export every match - name, website, size, industry, location, LinkedIn and social profiles - as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Bring your own API key and pay only for the records you keep.

### Why use this actor?

- **Global company coverage** - millions of companies with firmographic detail.
- **Precise firmographic filters** - industry, employee-count range, country, region, city, founding year and tags.
- **Structured output** - name, website, industry, employee count, size band, founding year, headquarters location, LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook, parsed into flat columns.
- **Full-query power mode** - drop in a raw Elasticsearch query for total control over the search.
- **Pay per result** - you are charged only for the company records actually returned, up to 5,000 per run.
- **No proxies, no blocks** - data comes through a stable API, so runs are fast and reliable.

### Use cases

- **Lead generation and TAM building** - build target account lists by industry, size and geography.
- **Market mapping** - enumerate the players in a sector and segment them by size or location.
- **CRM enrichment** - append firmographics to your existing account list.
- **Sales and recruiting research** - find companies matching an ideal-customer or target-employer profile.
- **Data science** - assemble company panels for analysis and modeling.

### Input

Configure everything from the visual editor - every filter is a proper field, no code needed. Example JSON input:

```json
{
  "industry": "computer software",
  "country": "united states",
  "employeeCountMin": 50,
  "employeeCountMax": 500,
  "requireWebsite": true,
  "maxResults": 100,
  "apiKey": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
````

### Output

One clean JSON object per company:

```json
{
  "name": "Acme Software",
  "website": "acme.com",
  "industry": "computer software",
  "employee_count": 220,
  "size": "201-500",
  "founded": 2011,
  "type": "private",
  "location_name": "san francisco, california, united states",
  "location_country": "united states",
  "location_region": "california",
  "location_locality": "san francisco",
  "linkedin_url": "linkedin.com/company/acme-software",
  "twitter_url": "twitter.com/acme",
  "id": "acme-software"
}
```

### Do I need an API key?

Yes. This actor calls a company data API on your behalf, which requires your own **API key**. Sign up free to get a self-serve key, paste it into the input, and run. Your key is stored securely and never logged.

### Pay per result

You pay only for the company records the actor actually returns - no subscriptions, no minimums. Set **Maximum results** to cap each run's spend exactly.

### FAQ

#### What is the Company Data Search API?

It is a company data API that lets you query a large global firmographic dataset by industry, size, location and more, then returns structured company records - name, website, industry, employee count, location and social profiles. This actor runs that search and exports the matches as JSON, CSV or Excel.

#### What filters can I use?

Company name text, industry, country, region or state, city, employee-count range, founding year, tags, and a require-website toggle. Power users can pass a raw Elasticsearch query object for full control.

#### What fields are returned?

Name, website, industry, employee count, size band, founding year, company type, headquarters location (city, region, country), LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook URLs, ticker and tags, where available.

#### How many results can I get per run?

Up to 5,000 company records per run, collected up to 100 per request via scroll pagination. For larger universes, split the search by industry, geography or size band across multiple runs.

#### How much does it cost?

Pricing is pay-per-result: a small fixed amount per company record returned, plus standard Apify platform usage, plus your own API usage against your key. A run that returns nothing costs almost nothing.

#### Can I run this on a schedule?

Yes. Use Apify Schedules to run it daily or weekly and connect the dataset to Zapier, Make, n8n, webhooks or the API to push new or updated accounts into your CRM or data warehouse.

#### Is this legal?

The actor returns company firmographic data retrieved through a licensed API using your own credentials. It focuses on company-level business data.
