## Pricing

Pay per usage

This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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

## Google Maps Enrichment Budget Calculator

Estimate event charges for the supported Google Maps contact-enrichment Actor before starting collection.

### Quick start

Paste this input into the Apify JSON input editor and start a run. The example uses synthetic records for a reproducible first audit.

```json
{
  "places": 100,
  "filters": 2,
  "companyContacts": true,
  "leadsLimit": 5,
  "leadsLimitScope": "per_place",
  "pricing": {
    "observedAt": "2026-09-11T00:00:00.000Z",
    "actor": {
      "pricingInfos": [
        {
          "startedAt": "2026-01-01T00:00:00.000Z",
          "pricingModel": "PAY_PER_EVENT",
          "pricingPerEvent": {
            "actorChargeEvents": {
              "place-scraped": {
                "eventPriceUsd": 0.004
              },
              "filter-applied": {
                "eventPriceUsd": 0.001
              },
              "contact-details-scraped": {
                "eventPriceUsd": 0.002
              },
              "lead-scraped": {
                "eventPriceUsd": 0.0075
              },
              "apify-actor-start": {
                "eventPriceUsd": 5e-05
              }
            }
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

### Results

Read OUTPUT and the dataset cost breakdown. Treat event subtotal separately from platform usage; check the pricing observation time and assumptions.

A platform run marked SUCCEEDED means execution finished. Always inspect the application status and unresolved rows before using the result.

### Limitations

Reads public pricing metadata or your supplied pricing snapshot. Supports filters, contacts, leads and declared platform usage. Unknown pricing events or missing usage estimates make totals incomplete. This calculator does not launch a scraper or enforce a spending cap.

### Automation and data

Use Apify schedules or its API to run this Actor. Scheduling and external notifications are not enabled automatically. Results stay in the run dataset and key-value store; storage retention follows your Apify settings. Do not include passwords or session cookies in inputs.

### Support

Report an issue with the Actor version, run ID, expected result and a small redacted input. Avoid including private customer data or credentials. Owlects is independent of the third-party platforms named here.

### Pricing and run budget

No Actor fee; Apify platform usage is charged separately.

The maximum cost must cover all requested result fees before work starts. Use smaller batches to reduce the required budget. For remote Funda exports, the budget check uses the 10,000-record source limit.

# 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 = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("owlects/maps-budget-preflight").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);
});

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call owlects/maps-budget-preflight --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,owlects/maps-budget-preflight"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
