## 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

## Sponsorship Packet Finder

Find public sponsorship packets, sponsor prospectuses, sponsor forms, event sponsorship pages, and sponsorship-level pricing clues.

### What it does

This Actor crawls nonprofit, event, chamber, conference, school, venue, and festival websites to identify:

- sponsorship packets/prospectuses
- sponsor-level pages and PDFs
- sponsor application/commitment forms
- deadline clues
- dollar-level sponsorship clues
- contact emails/phones and source context

It is built for sales teams, sponsorship researchers, agency prospecting, and public-data lead products.

### Billing

This Actor uses Apify Pay Per Event pricing.

- **Paid event:** `SPONSORSHIP_OPPORTUNITY`
- **Price:** **$0.05 per billable sponsorship opportunity** / **$50 per 1,000 extracted opportunities**
- You are charged only for useful sponsorship-opportunity rows with supporting evidence.

No-result/status rows and zero-confidence rows are not emitted with the paid event.

### Good inputs

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://examplefestival.org" }
  ],
  "maxPagesPerSite": 40,
  "maxDepth": 2,
  "minConfidenceScore": 25
}
```

### Output quality notes

Rows include opportunity title/type, confidence score, sponsorship level clues, deadline clues, application URLs, document URLs, contact details, matched keywords, and source context. The Actor deduplicates repeated page/document matches and favors document-backed opportunities when available.

### Limits and responsible use

The Actor identifies public sponsorship clues. Confirm availability, packages, and deadlines with the source organization before outreach.

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Public websites or pages to scan for sponsorship packets, sponsor prospectuses, sponsor levels, event sponsorship pages, and sponsorship forms.

## `maxPagesPerSite` (type: `integer`):

## `maxDepth` (type: `integer`):

How many link hops to follow from each start URL.

## `minConfidenceScore` (type: `integer`):

Only push sponsorship opportunity rows at or above this score. Lower values return more exploratory results.

## `opportunityKeywords` (type: `array`):

# 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 = {
    "startUrls": [
        {
            "url": "https://paste.rs/BX4vv"
        }
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("niche_lens/sponsorship-packet-finder").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);
});

run_input = { "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://paste.rs/BX4vv" }] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("niche_lens/sponsorship-packet-finder").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 '{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://paste.rs/BX4vv"
    }
  ]
}' |
apify call niche_lens/sponsorship-packet-finder --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

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

```

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).
