## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

## B2B Leads Finder by nexgendata

Build targeted B2B prospect lists with verified emails and phone numbers. Search by job title, company, industry, and location — all without expensive monthly subscriptions.

### What This Actor Does

The B2B Leads Finder scans public business directories and professional networks to find contacts matching your ideal customer profile. Unlike Apollo.io or ZoomInfo, there's no monthly fee — you pay only for the leads you extract.

### How It Works

1. **Define your ICP** — specify job titles, industries, locations, and company sizes
2. **Run the actor** — it searches multiple data sources to find matching contacts
3. **Get structured results** — verified emails, phone numbers, LinkedIn profiles, and company data in JSON/CSV format

### Perfect For

- **Sales teams** building outbound prospect lists
- **Recruiters** searching for candidates by title and location
- **Marketers** running account-based campaigns
- **Agencies** generating leads for clients at scale

### Sample Output

Each lead includes: full name, job title, company name, industry, location, verified email, phone number, LinkedIn URL, company website, and company size.

### Pricing

Pay-per-event pricing — you're charged only for leads successfully found. No subscription, no seat limits, no contracts. Typical cost: $0.01-0.05 per lead.

### Getting Started

1. Click "Try for free" to open the actor
2. Enter your search criteria (job titles, industries, locations)
3. Set `maxResults` to control how many leads to find
4. Run the actor and download your results
