## 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`).

# README

### What does Local Business Leads (OpenStreetMap) do?

**Local Business Leads** is built for **web design and marketing agencies** that sell to local businesses. A web design agency wants **every dentist and hair salon in Berlin that has no website**, to sell them one. A marketing agency wants the ones that **do** have a website, with their **public e-mail**. Pick a place and categories; the Actor lists the businesses **OpenStreetMap** has for them (address, phone, website, e-mail, opening hours, coordinates), lets you **filter for "no website"**, and can optionally read each business's own website for **public e-mails, phones and social profiles**. The result goes to your **CRM, Google Sheets or e-mail** with an Apify integration or webhook. Everything comes from free open data: **no proxy, no Google Maps scraping, no key**.

Per business you get:

- 🏪 **name**, **category**, OSM tags of interest (cuisine, brand, speciality ...)
- 📍 **address** (street, number, postcode, city), **latitude and longitude**
- ☎️ **phone**, **website**, **e-mail** and **opening hours** when mapped
- 🔗 **OSM id and link**
- 📇 **contacts** from the business website when you switch enrichment on
- © **attribution** "© OpenStreetMap contributors" in every row

### Who is it for?

- **Web design agencies**: businesses without a website (`Website filter: Without a website`).
- **Marketing, SEO and reputation agencies**: businesses with a website, plus their public contacts.
- **Local service sellers** (payments, insurance, software for dentists and salons): a list of every shop in a category and city.

### How to use it

1. Click **Try for free**: dentists in Leipzig without a website, up to 50, no enrichment (fast).
2. Set the **Area** (a place name or a bounding box) and **Categories** (`dentist`, `hair salon`, `restaurant` ... or raw tags such as `shop=bakery`).
3. Choose the **Website filter**; optionally switch on **Read websites for public contacts**.
4. Set **Maximum businesses** (up to 20,000), save as a **task** and **schedule** it if you want regular lists.

### Input example

```json
{
    "area": "Berlin, Germany",
    "categories": ["dentist", "hair salon"],
    "hasWebsite": "without",
    "enrichContacts": false,
    "maxResults": 500
}
```

### Output example

Shape of a row (values illustrative; see the verification note below):

```json
{
    "rowType": "business",
    "name": "Zahnarztpraxis Muster",
    "category": "Dentist",
    "addressText": "Grimmaische Straße 12, 04109 Leipzig",
    "latitude": 51.3397,
    "longitude": 12.3731,
    "phone": "+49 341 123456",
    "website": null,
    "hasWebsite": false,
    "email": null,
    "openingHours": "Mo-Fr 08:00-17:00",
    "osmId": "node/101",
    "osmUrl": "https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/101",
    "attribution": "© OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL), https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright"
}
```

Info rows (`invalid-input`, `area-not-found`, `api-error`, `no-results`) are free.

### How much does it cost?

This Actor uses **pay per event**:

| Event | Price |
| --- | --- |
| Business returned | **$0.002** per business |
| Contacts enriched (only when an e-mail or phone was found on the business's website) | **$0.003** per business |
| Info and error rows | **free** |

- 500 dentists without a website cost **$1.00**. With enrichment and contacts found for 200 of them: **$1.60**.
- Apify also charges a tiny standard start fee per run. Set **Maximum cost per run** to cap spending.

### Data sources and terms

- **OpenStreetMap** data via the **Overpass API** (overpass-api.de, with the kumi.systems mirror as fallback), one query at a time with a timeout, and **Nominatim** to find the area (at most one request per second, identifying User-Agent with contact, answers cached for 30 days). Follows the [Nominatim usage policy](https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/nominatim/) and the Overpass fair-use guidelines.
- Data is **© OpenStreetMap contributors**, licensed under the **Open Database License (ODbL)**. If you publish or share a database made from it, you must credit OpenStreetMap and keep the licence (see https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright). The attribution is in every row.
- Website enrichment reads only the business's own public pages (robots.txt respected). Business e-mails can be personal data: follow GDPR/ePrivacy or your local rules when you contact people.
- This Actor is **not affiliated with the OpenStreetMap Foundation**.

### Limitations

- OpenStreetMap is volunteer-made: **coverage and freshness vary by country and city**. A business with no website in OSM may well have one. Check before you call someone "a business without a website".
- Not every business has phone, e-mail or opening hours mapped.
- Only **named** businesses are returned. Very large areas with common categories are limited by **Maximum businesses**; the Overpass servers may refuse very large queries (the Actor then returns a free error row).
- Contact enrichment finds only public e-mails and phones on the home page and its contact, legal and about pages.

### FAQ

#### Is this a Google Maps scraper?

No. It uses OpenStreetMap, which is open data and needs no proxy. It has fewer businesses than Google Maps in some places and more freedom in how you may use the data (with attribution).

#### How do I find only businesses I can sell a website to?

Set **Website filter** to "Without a website". The filter looks at the OSM tags `website`, `contact:website` and `url`.

#### Can I search a whole country?

Yes, but use a tight category and a **Maximum businesses**; Overpass may time out on huge areas. Splitting by region is more reliable.

```

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).
