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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Local Business Leads Scraper — any category, any city, with website-platform detection Generate **B2B leads for any local business category** — dentists, gyms, lawyers, plumbers, salons, real estate agencies, restaurants, and 50+ more — in any city worldwide, complete with **website platform detection (WordPress, Wix, Shopify, Squarespace, Webflow, GoDaddy, Weebly, Joomla, Framer)**. At **$5 per 1,000 leads**, it's the flexible, low-cost way to build a prospect list for cold outreach or web/marketing agency pitches. ### What does it do? This actor takes a **plain-English business category** (e.g. "dentist," "hair salon," "plumber") and a **location** (city, region, or country), maps the category to the right OpenStreetMap tags, and pulls every matching business in the area. It then **crawls each business's own website** to extract a **contact email**, **social profiles** (Facebook, Instagram), and — the key differentiator — **which website platform it runs on**. That last part is gold for agencies: filter the output for businesses stuck on an outdated Wix or GoDaddy site and you have a warm list of prospects who visibly need a website upgrade. ### Why use it / who's it for - **Web design & marketing agencies** — find local businesses running on Wix, GoDaddy Website Builder, or Weebly (often a sign of a dated, DIY site) and pitch a redesign or SEO retainer. - **Freelancers on Fiverr/Upwork** — generate a "100 dentists in Austin with emails" style lead list on demand for any client vertical without building a new scraper per niche. - **SaaS sales teams** — any B2B tool sold to local businesses (booking software, payment processors, review management) can target by category and city. - **Franchise & market researchers** — count and map competitor density for any category in a target city before opening a location. - **B2B lead-gen resellers** — because it covers *any* category, one actor replaces dozens of niche scrapers. ### How to use it 1. Enter a **business category** in plain English (e.g. `dentist`, `gym`, `plumber`, `hair salon`). 2. Enter a **location** — city and region/country (e.g. `Austin, Texas`). 3. Optionally set **maxItems**, a name **keyword** filter, or restrict to businesses **with a website/email only**. 4. Run the actor. It geocodes the location, pulls matching places from OpenStreetMap, then crawls each business website for contact details. 5. Export the results as CSV, JSON, or Excel — or connect the dataset straight to your CRM/outreach tool via API/webhook. ### Output fields | Field | Description | |---|---| | `name` | Business name | | `category` | OSM category tag (e.g. dentist, hairdresser, lawyer) | | `address` | Street address | | `city` | City | | `state` | State/region | | `postal_code` | Postal/ZIP code | | `phone` | Phone number | | `website` | Business website URL | | `email` | Primary contact email found on the site | | `emails` | All emails found while crawling the site | | `facebook` | Facebook profile URL | | `instagram` | Instagram profile URL | | `opening_hours` | Opening hours (from OSM, if listed) | | `website_platform` | Detected platform: WordPress, Wix, Shopify, Squarespace, Webflow, GoDaddy, Weebly, Joomla, or Framer | | `latitude` / `longitude` | Coordinates | | `osm_type` / `osm_id` | OpenStreetMap source identifiers | | `has_email` / `has_phone` / `has_website` | Boolean flags for quick filtering | ### Input example ```json { "category": "hair salon", "location": "Miami, Florida", "maxItems": 200, "crawlEmails": true, "onlyWithEmail": false, "onlyWithWebsite": true, "maxPagesPerSite": 3, "concurrency": 8 } ```` ### How much does it cost? This actor uses **pay-per-result pricing at $0.005 per lead ($5 per 1,000 leads)** — you're only charged for businesses actually returned, not for API calls or compute time. There's no subscription. New Apify users get a **free tier of roughly 1,000 results** to test the actor before spending anything. Scraping 500 dentists with emails costs about $2.50; 5,000 leads across multiple cities costs about $25. ### Frequently asked questions #### Is it legal to scrape local business data? Yes. This actor only reads **publicly available data** from OpenStreetMap (an open-data project) and each business's own public website — the same information anyone could find by visiting the site. No login, no private data, no anti-bot circumvention. #### How fresh is the data? Business listings come from OpenStreetMap, which is community-maintained and updated continuously; most established businesses have accurate name/address/phone data. Website content (email, socials, platform) is crawled live on every run, so that part is always current at run time. #### Can I search for any business category, not just the popular ones? Yes — that's the point. 50+ common categories (restaurants, dentists, gyms, lawyers, salons, real estate, plumbers, and more) are pre-mapped for accuracy, but any other word you enter is automatically matched against OpenStreetMap's shop/amenity/office/craft/healthcare tags, so niche categories still work. #### Why does website platform detection matter? Knowing a business runs on Wix, GoDaddy, or Weebly (often associated with outdated, self-built sites) versus WordPress or Shopify lets agencies and freelancers **pre-qualify leads** before ever picking up the phone — pitching a redesign to someone visibly using a builder-tier platform converts far better than a cold, unqualified list. #### Do I need an API key or proxy? No. Discovery runs entirely on OpenStreetMap (Nominatim + Overpass) and enrichment crawls public websites directly — no API keys, no proxy configuration, and it runs fine from datacenter IPs. ### Other Flash Scrape lead tools - **[Restaurant Leads Scraper](https://apify.com/actors/restaurant-leads-scraper)** — restaurant leads enriched with POS, reservation, and delivery tech stack (Toast, OpenTable, DoorDash, and more). - **[Google Maps Leads Opener](https://apify.com/actors/google-maps-leads-opener)** — pull business leads directly from Google Maps search results. - **[Email Verifier](https://apify.com/actors/email-verifier)** — validate and clean the emails this actor finds before you launch an outreach campaign. - **[Company Domain Enricher](https://apify.com/actors/company-domain-enricher)** — turn a company name into its website domain and firmographic details for further enrichment. # Actor input Schema ## `category` (type: `string`): Type of business in plain English, e.g. 'dentist', 'gym', 'lawyer', 'plumber', 'hair salon', 'real estate agency', 'car repair'.
