## 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

## Website Contact & Lead Signal Extractor

Turn a list of public websites into clean lead records with contact details and buying-signal context.

### What it does

This Actor crawls each supplied website and extracts:

- email addresses and phone numbers
- contact/about/team/location pages
- social profile links
- useful public document links
- configurable lead-signal keywords such as sponsorship, donation, vendor, event, membership, catering, quote, or custom terms
- a 0-100 lead score with score reasons

It is built for prospecting, CRM enrichment, local-business research, nonprofit/event research, and niche lead-list products.

### Billing

This Actor uses Apify Pay Per Event pricing.

- **Paid event:** `LEAD_RECORD`
- **Price:** **$0.05 per billable lead record** / **$50 per 1,000 extracted lead records**
- You are charged only when the Actor emits a useful lead record with extracted value.

Rows that only report an empty crawl, failed crawl, or no useful contact/lead data are not emitted with the paid event.

### Good inputs

Start with real organization websites, not search-result pages or large directories.

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://example.org" }
  ],
  "maxPagesPerSite": 10,
  "maxDepth": 2,
  "leadSignalKeywords": ["sponsor", "vendor", "event", "donation"]
}
```

### Output quality notes

Each output row includes the source URL, final URL, organization name, contacts, social links, matched signals, crawl counts, score reasons, and timestamp. The Actor keeps transparent non-billable rows for no-result cases so you can see what happened without being charged for junk.

### Limits and responsible use

This Actor reads publicly available web pages. Results depend on what the target site publishes and whether pages are reachable, blocked, or protected by robots.txt.

# Actor input Schema

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

One or more public website URLs to analyze.

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

Maximum number of same-domain pages to crawl for each start URL. Lower values are cheaper and faster.

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

How many link hops from the start page to follow.

## `signalKeywords` (type: `array`):

Words/phrases to look for and score, e.g. fundraiser, sponsor, event, team, quote, vendor.

## `includeDocuments` (type: `boolean`):

Collect PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS, and XLSX links found on crawled pages.

## `includeSocialLinks` (type: `boolean`):

Collect common social profile links found on crawled pages.

## `respectRobotsTxt` (type: `boolean`):

Best-effort robots.txt check for each website. Keep enabled for safer marketplace use.

## `requestDelayMillis` (type: `integer`):

Politeness delay per site in milliseconds.

# 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://www.redcross.org/"
        },
        {
            "url": "https://www.score.org/"
        }
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("niche_lens/website-contact-lead-extractor").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 = { "startUrls": [
        { "url": "https://www.redcross.org/" },
        { "url": "https://www.score.org/" },
    ] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("niche_lens/website-contact-lead-extractor").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://www.redcross.org/"
    },
    {
      "url": "https://www.score.org/"
    }
  ]
}' |
apify call niche_lens/website-contact-lead-extractor --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,niche_lens/website-contact-lead-extractor"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
