## 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.

# README

## Hitta.se Scraper

### Updates in this version
- If there is **no website** or it is **banned/unavailable**, keep **all valid detail-page emails** (not only generic).
- Email slug fallback now unescapes HTML and matches both:
  - `<slug>-button-email-<email>`
  - `button-email-<email>` (broader pattern)
- Unescape attribute values before extracting emails to handle **entity-encoded** addresses.
- Pagination errors fixed

### Kept (still working as intended)
- `max_results` with “Nästa” pagination (25 per page).
- Website picked from **canonical/og:url/JSON-LD** first, then **scored anchors**; bans junk.
- `website_details`: one of **`ok` | `404` | `unavailable` | `banned` | `n/a`**.
- **Banned**: `hitta.dixa.help`, `dixa.help`, `biluppgifter.se`, specific DNB URL.
- Detail-page email extraction from Hitta UI + mailto + strict regex + slug fallback.
- **Same-domain mini-crawl** for emails + social links when website is OK.
- Swedish address heuristics; phone extraction; categories.

---

### Features

- Crawls **listing pages** on Hitta.se, discovers company **detail pages**, and pushes normalized contact data.
- Extracts from detail pages:
  - `name`
  - `categories` (best-effort)
  - `phone`
  - `address` (Swedish heuristics and JSON-LD)
  - `website` (structured first, then scored anchors with bans)
  - `email1..N` (strict parsing, de-duplicated)
  - `website_details` (status as above)
  - Socials if available: `social_facebook`, `social_instagram`, `social_linkedin`, `social_x`, `social_youtube`, `social_tiktok`, `social_pinterest`
- If website is OK, performs a **tiny same-domain crawl** (configurable) to discover more emails and socials.

---

### Input Configuration

Example input JSON:

```json
{
  "start_urls": [
    { "url": "https://www.hitta.se/nacka/företag/2" }
  ],
  "max_depth": 3,
  "headers": {
    "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 ...",
    "Accept-Language": "sv-SE,sv;q=0.9,en-US;q=0.8,en;q=0.7"
  },
  "timeout_seconds": 30,
  "site_email_max_pages": 3,
  "max_results": 0
}
````

| Field                  | Type    | Default                                              | Description                                                                            |
| ---------------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `start_urls`           | array   | `[{ "url": "https://www.hitta.se/nacka/företag/2"}]` | One or more Hitta listing URLs.                                                        |
| `max_depth`            | integer | `3`                                                  | Crawl depth from the start URLs. Listing depth is reused for pagination.               |
| `headers`              | object  | See code defaults                                    | HTTP headers for requests.                                                             |
| `timeout_seconds`      | integer | `30`                                                 | Read timeout for HTTP requests.                                                        |
| `site_email_max_pages` | integer | `3`                                                  | Max pages to crawl on the **same domain** as the extracted website for extra contacts. |
| `max_results`          | integer | `0` (no cap)                                         | Limit how many detail results to push. Pagination respects 25/page with “Nästa.”       |

***

### How It Works

1. **Listing pages**: extracts detail links using `/verksamhet/` anchors. Follows “Nästa” to paginate.
2. **Detail pages**: extracts:

   - **Website** from canonical, `og:url`, and JSON-LD; otherwise **scores** external anchors and bans junk domains.
   - **Address** from JSON-LD, microdata, and Swedish heuristics (street tokens + postcode check).
   - **Phone** from `tel:` links or strict regex for Swedish formats.
   - **Emails** from:

     - Hitta UI attributes (unescaped)
     - `mailto:` links
     - Strict regex on visible text
     - **Slug-pattern fallback**: `<slug>-button-email-<email>` and `button-email-<email>`
3. **Website status**: HEAD/GET to classify `website_details` as `ok`, `404`, `unavailable`, `banned`, or `n/a`.
4. **Same-domain mini-crawl** (if website OK): fetch up to `site_email_max_pages` pages for more emails and socials.
5. **Email policy**:

   - If **no website** or website is **banned/unavailable**, keep **all valid** detail-page emails.
   - If website is **OK**, keep emails that **match the website base-domain** or are **generic** providers (Gmail, Outlook, etc.).

### Example Output

```json
{
  "source_url": "https://www.hitta.se/foeretag/exempel-ab/123456",
  "name": "Exempel AB",
  "categories": "Bygg, Renovering",
  "phone": "08 123 45 67",
  "address": "Exempelgatan 10, 123 45 Stockholm",
  "website": "https://www.exempel.se",
  "email1": "info@exempel.se",
  "email2": "support@exempel.se",
  "website_details": "ok",
  "social_facebook": "https://www.facebook.com/exempel-ab",
  "social_instagram": "https://www.linkedin.com/exempel-ab",
  "social_linkedin": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/exempel-ab",
  "social_x": "https://www.x.com/exempel-ab",
  "social_youtube": "https://www.youtube.com/exempel-ab",
  "social_tiktok": "https://www.tiktok.com/exempel-ab",
  "social_pinterest": "https://www.pinterest.com/exempel-ab"
}
```

> If no valid emails are found, the actor emits `"email1": "n/a"`.

***

### Notes

- **Pagination:** respects Hitta’s “Nästa” flow, ~25 results per page.
- **Bans:** `hitta.dixa.help`, `dixa.help`, `biluppgifter.se`, and a specific DNB marketing URL are excluded.
- **Email hygiene:** strict regex, HTML-unescape, de-duplication, and tracking-pattern filtering.
- **Address quality:** prefers JSON-LD `PostalAddress`, then microdata, then heuristics requiring Swedish postcode + street token.

# Actor input Schema

## `start_urls` (type: `array`):

Listing pages to start from (e.g. https://www.hitta.se/nacka/företag/2). The scraper will follow detail links from these pages.

## `max_depth` (type: `integer`):

Crawl depth for generic link following (kept for compatibility). Listing → detail works regardless. Usually leave as 1.

## `max_results` (type: `integer`):

Total businesses to save. Listing pages show up to 25 results each; if this number exceeds 25, the scraper will paginate via the 'Nästa' button until the cap is reached.

## `site_email_max_pages` (type: `integer`):

How many pages on the company website to visit for emails and social links.

## `timeout_seconds` (type: `integer`):

Read timeout per request.
