## 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.co Scraper: Premium B2B Lead Extraction

Extract high-value B2B leads directly from Clutch.co. Built specifically for sales teams, marketing agencies, and researchers, this actor automates the extraction of top-tier service provider profiles, delivering clean and structured data ready for your outreach campaigns.

### Why use this scraper?

Clutch.co is the premier directory for finding software developers, IT consultants, and marketing agencies. Manually clicking through profiles and deciphering redirect URLs is a massive time sink. This tool automates the extraction process and bypasses complex anti-bot protections to deliver pristine data at scale.

- **Clean Website URLs:** Automatically resolves and cleans Clutch's hidden redirect links, giving you the direct, real domain of the agency without tracking parameters.
- **No Duplicates:** Intelligently filters out sponsored ads and matrix leaders to ensure you only pay for unique companies.
- **Pay-per-Result:** You are only charged for the valid, unique leads successfully extracted.

### Ideal Use Cases

- **B2B Outreach & Cold Email:** Build highly targeted lists of digital marketing agencies, software houses, and IT consultants.
- **Competitor Analysis:** Track top-performing agencies in your niche and monitor their positioning.
- **Market Research:** Gather structured data on agency density, specializations, and market presence.

### Output Data Structure

The actor exports a clean dataset optimized for CRMs:

- `nome`: The official name of the agency.
- `website`: The direct, clean URL of the company's website.
- `url_origem`: The Clutch.co search page where the lead was found.

#### Example Output (JSON)

````json
[{
  "nome": "Ignite Visibility",
  "website": "[https://ignitevisibility.com/](https://ignitevisibility.com/)",
  "url_origem": "[https://clutch.co/agencies/digital-marketing](https://clutch.co/agencies/digital-marketing)"
}]

# 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 = {
    "start_urls": [
        {
            "url": "https://apify.com"
        }
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("nebulous_brassnk/clutch").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 = { "start_urls": [{ "url": "https://apify.com" }] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("nebulous_brassnk/clutch").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 '{
  "start_urls": [
    {
      "url": "https://apify.com"
    }
  ]
}' |
apify call nebulous_brassnk/clutch --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

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

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).
