## 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`).

## 📞 Telecontact Scraper - Morocco Business Leads (Pages Jaunes Maroc)

Extract business leads from **Telecontact.ma**, the Moroccan yellow pages (Pages Jaunes Maroc). Search any trade or category in any **city**, or all of Morocco. For each business you get its phones in international format, fax, WhatsApp, website, street address, city, map position, and the company data Telecontact publishes: **ICE number, trade register (RC), legal form, share capital, staff range, founding year and managers**. You also get categories, products and services, opening hours, other branches, photos, reviews and social media links. Turn on the **email add-on** to collect emails from each business's own website. It collects **1,000 businesses in under a minute**, gets past the site's 100-results-per-list limit, and can run on a schedule to send you **only new businesses**.

### 🎯 Who uses it?

#### 📞 Sales teams and lead generation agencies

Build call lists of Moroccan businesses by trade and city, with mobile numbers and WhatsApp, ready for your CRM.

#### 🏦 B2B, banks and compliance teams

Check companies with their ICE, RC number and city, legal form, capital, size and founding year.

#### 📣 Marketing agencies

Find businesses with no website or social media in a city, and offer them yours.

#### 📊 Market researchers

Count and map businesses by category, city, legal form, size and age, with map positions.

### ✨ What it does

- **Search like on the site.** Type a trade or category in French ("restaurant", "plombier", "avocat", "pharmacie"), with several terms in one run. Each term covers every matching category: "restaurant" also searches "Restaurants: cuisine marocaine", "Restaurants: cuisine italienne" and the rest.
- **Any city, or all of Morocco.** Type cities ("Casablanca", "Fès", "El Jadida"), or leave them empty to search the whole country. A city with no search term gives every business in that city.
- **No 100-results cut-off.** The site shows at most 100 businesses per list. Bigger searches are also read sub-category by sub-category and city by city, so you get far more.
- **Or paste links.** Use category pages or business pages from telecontact.ma. Filters are ignored with links.
- **Filters:** only businesses with a phone, mobile phone, WhatsApp, website, email, social media, ICE number or map position, only paid listings, legal forms, company size, founding years, and open on chosen days.
- **Email add-on:** opens each business website (home page, then its contact page) and collects the email addresses shown there. Telecontact itself shows no emails.
- **Monitoring:** run it on a schedule with **Only new businesses**, and each run saves only businesses you haven't received yet.

### 🏆 Why this scraper

- **Fast.** 1,000 businesses with full business pages in under a minute.
- **Company data, not only contacts.** ICE, RC number and city, legal form, capital in MAD, staff range, founding year and managers, each in its own field.
- **Phones ready to dial.** Every phone, fax and WhatsApp number is in international format (+212...), and the fake "00 00 00 00 00" numbers are removed.
- **On-topic results.** Paid listings that the site shows above unrelated searches are left out.
- **Clean, typed data.** Map positions, capital and years are numbers, days are in English, hours are in 24h format, and there are no HTML leftovers.
- **Nothing to set up.** A proxy is used automatically, with no extra cost to you.

### ⚙️ How the input is organised

| Section | What it's for |
| --- | --- |
| **Maximum results** | Always first, caps the whole run. Empty means no limit. |
| **What to scrape** | Search terms, cities and emails from the business website. |
| **Filters** | Only with phone, only with mobile phone, only with WhatsApp, only with website, only with email, only with social media, only with ICE number, only with map position, only advertisers, legal forms, company size (employees), founded from (year), founded until (year) and open on these days. |
| **Monitoring** | Only new businesses and monitor name. |
| **Links** | Links instead of the fields above. Filters are ignored with links. |

### 💰 Pricing

Pay-per-event: a one-time **$0.003** when the run starts, plus a price per business saved to your dataset. The price depends on your Apify plan tier:

| Your Apify plan | Price per business |
| --- | --- |
| Free | $0.013 |
| Bronze | $0.012 |
| Silver | $0.011 |
| Gold / Platinum / Diamond | $0.010 |

Approximate total cost:

| Businesses collected | Free | Bronze | Silver | Gold+ |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 100 | $1.30 | $1.20 | $1.10 | $1.00 |
| 1,000 | $13.00 | $12.00 | $11.00 | $10.00 |
| 10,000 | $130.00 | $120.00 | $110.00 | $100.00 |

**Email add-on:** when **Emails from the business website** is on (or **Only with email** turns it on), each business saved with at least one email adds one more charge:

| Your Apify plan | Emails, per business with emails |
| --- | --- |
| Free | $0.004 |
| Bronze | $0.0035 |
| Silver | $0.003 |
| Gold / Platinum / Diamond | $0.0025 |

Businesses where no email was found pay only the base price, and businesses left out by filters are free. Proxy costs are included. New Apify accounts start with $5 in free credit. On the Free plan, a run saves up to 10 businesses.

### 🚀 Run it

1. Create a free Apify account with $5 in credit.
2. Open the Telecontact Scraper.
3. Type search terms and cities (or keep the prefilled ones), add filters, then click **Start**.
4. Export the results as CSV, Excel, JSON or XML from the Dataset tab.

### 🤖 Use with AI agents (MCP)

Connect the [Apify MCP server](https://mcp.apify.com) to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client, then ask in plain words, for example: *"Find 200 plumbers in Casablanca with a mobile number on Telecontact"*. The agent runs this Actor and reads the results.

### 🔧 Troubleshooting

- **Few or no results.** Telecontact searches in French, so try "avocat" instead of "lawyer". The log shows which categories a term matched, and suggests close names when nothing matched.
- **A city was skipped.** The log says when the site doesn't know a city, with close names. Check the spelling ("Fès" or "Fes" both work).
- **Few websites, WhatsApp numbers or emails.** Most free listings only carry a name, phone, address and company data. Use the **Only with website** or **Only with WhatsApp** filters.
- **Some company fields are empty.** Not every business publishes its ICE, capital, staff range or founding year. Fields the page doesn't show are empty.

### ❓ FAQ

**Is there a limit per search?** The site shows at most 100 businesses per category and city. This Actor also reads every matching sub-category, and for nationwide searches every city, so a search returns far more.

**Can I search all of Morocco?** Yes. Leave cities empty. The national list is read first, then city by city, biggest cities first, until **Maximum results** is reached.

**Why are there no emails without the add-on?** Telecontact doesn't publish business emails, only a contact form. The add-on reads them from each business's own website.

**Do I need a proxy?** No. The Actor uses one automatically, included in the price.

### 🛡️ Limits & responsible use

This Actor collects business information that businesses publish on Telecontact.ma. It reads only the pages the site's robots.txt allows (category and business pages, not the search engine). Use the data in line with the site's terms, Moroccan data protection law (Law 09-08, CNDP) and anti-spam rules, especially for phone, WhatsApp and email outreach.

# Actor input Schema

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many businesses in total. Leave empty for no limit. The Apify Free plan is always capped at 10.

## `searchTerms` (type: `array`):

Trades or categories in French, as on the site, like "restaurant", "plombier", "avocat" or "pharmacie". Each term covers every category with these words, sub-categories included ("restaurant" also finds "Restaurants: cuisine marocaine"). Empty with a city = every business in that city.

## `locations` (type: `array`):

Optional. Search only in these cities, like "Casablanca", "Rabat", "Fès" or "El Jadida". Empty = all of Morocco, read city by city when a category has more businesses than the site shows at once.

## `includeEmails` (type: `boolean`):

Also open each business website (home page, then its contact page) and collect the email addresses shown there. Telecontact itself shows no emails. Charged as an add-on only for businesses where emails are found.

## `onlyWithPhone` (type: `boolean`):

Keep only businesses that list a phone number.

## `onlyWithMobile` (type: `boolean`):

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