## 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`).

### 🧾 JSON sample record

One real record from run `iSirR17a0trV4ChXe` (emails/phones masked, long text shortened):

```json
{
  "name": "EQUINOR ASA",
  "orgnr": "923609016",
  "orgForm": "ASA",
  "orgFormDesc": "Allmennaksjeselskap",
  "address": "Forusbeen 50, 4035, STAVANGER",
  "municipality": "STAVANGER",
  "postalCode": "4035",
  "naceCode": "06.100",
  "industry": "Utvinning av råolje",
  "employees": 21272,
  "registrationDate": "1995-03-12",
  "foundingDate": "1972-09-18",
  "website": "www.equinor.com",
  "status": "active",
  "sourceUrl": "https://virksomhet.brreg.no/nb/oppslag/enheter/923609016"
}
```

### 💰 Pricing

| Event | Price (USD) | When it is charged |
|---|---|---|
| Actor Start (`apify-actor-start`) | $0.005 | Charged when the Actor starts running. Number of events charged depends on Actor memory (one event per GB, minimum one event). |
| Company record (`company-record`) | $0.05 | Charged for each company record returned. |

Pay-per-event: you pay only for what the run delivers. A run that delivers nothing bills no result events (only the actor-start event, when the actor defines one). Example: a run that delivers 100 results costs 100 × $0.05 = $5.00 plus the start fee.

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).
