## 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

### Mental Health Lead Generator 📣

**Mental Health Lead Generator** helps you save hours of manual research by turning public business listings into clean contact records. Instead of hunting one by one, you can build a mental health lead generation workflow for behavioral health leads, therapy leads, and counseling leads in minutes. It’s designed for marketers, analysts, and researchers who want faster patient acquisition and client acquisition with structured results.

### What is Mental Health Lead Generator? 🔍

Mental Health Lead Generator is an Apify automation actor that collects public business data for the mental health niche and returns contact details in a structured dataset. It is useful for anyone building mental health marketing lists, including teams focused on psychiatry leads, telehealth therapy, depression treatment, anxiety treatment, substance abuse treatment, and broader mental health services. In practice, it works as a mental health email extractor and a mental health contact scraper, helping you automate public web scraping without manual copy-paste work.

### What Does Mental Health Lead Generator Do? ⚙️

You provide a search term, one or more locations, and a result limit. The actor then gathers public business records, visits associated websites when available, and saves the collected contact information to your Apify dataset. It is built for fast, practical lead collection with clean output for outreach and research.

- 🔍 **Finds** businesses matching your mental health lead generation criteria
- 📧 **Extracts** publicly available emails, phones, and social media profiles
- 🌍 **Filters** results by location and can work across multiple locations
- 📊 **Structures** output into neat dataset rows for easy analysis
- 💾 **Stores** results as they are found for reliable data capture

### FAQ — Mental Health Lead Generator ❓

#### How Does Mental Health Lead Generator Work?

You enter a search term and one or more locations, and the actor collects public business records that match your target niche. It then enriches those records with publicly available contact data and stores the results in your Apify dataset.

#### What Types of Businesses Can I Target?

You can target any mental health-related business niche you want to research, including mental health services, telehealth therapy, depression treatment, anxiety treatment, substance abuse treatment, therapy leads, counseling leads, and psychiatry leads.

#### What Data Will I Get in the Output?

The output includes business name, website, phone, address, city, state, ZIP, country code, scraped emails, scraped phones, scraped social media, emails found, pages scraped, average rating, total reviews, latitude, longitude, place ID, and scrape status.

#### Can I Use It for Local Patient Acquisition?

Yes, it can support patient acquisition and client acquisition workflows by helping you collect public contact data from businesses in specific locations. It is especially useful for location-based mental health marketing.

#### Do I Need Technical Skills to Use It?

No. You can run it from the Apify Console by filling in the input form. The main things you need are a search term, location, and a maximum result count.

### Complete number formats

| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `phoneRaw` | The exact text the number was read from, before any normalisation |
| `phoneE164` | International dialable form, e.g. `+442079460958` |
| `phoneNational` | As someone inside that country would dial it |
| `phoneInternational` | Readable international form, e.g. `+44 20 7946 0958` |
| `phoneRfc3966` | `tel:` URI for VoIP systems (optional) |
| `phoneExtension` | The internal extension, when one was published |
| `phoneNumbers` | Every number on the row, each in all of the above forms |

Numbers are parsed against the business's own country from its Maps listing.
`phoneRaw` is never derived, so it stays trustworthy even when parsing the rest
fails.

### Contact Memory

| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `firstSeenAt` | The date this contact was first delivered to you, across all runs |
| `isNewSinceLastRun` | `false` for a contact an earlier run already returned |

These carry real information because repeats are still delivered by default —
a scraper that dropped duplicates before delivery would mark every row new and
tell you nothing. If you would rather not receive repeats at all, **Skip
contacts delivered by a previous run** suppresses them, and **Reset contact
memory** starts the record over.

A contact is identified by its email address where there is one, otherwise by
its phone number.

# Actor input Schema

## `googleMapsSearchTerm` (type: `string`):

Enter the business type or niche for email scraper (e.g., 'coffee shops', 'dentists').

## `googleMapsLocation` (type: `array`):

Target geographic location for the email scraper (e.g., 'Miami, Florida').

## `maxBusinesses` (type: `integer`):

Target number of businesses to find (1-1000). The scraper will stop when this target is reached.

## `scrapeMaxBusinessesPerLocation` (type: `boolean`):

If enabled, the scraper will collect up to `maxBusinesses` results per location. If disabled, it combines all locations up to a single total limit.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Proxy settings for scraping. Recommended for large-scale scraping.

## `includeDialerUri` (type: `boolean`):

Add the tel: URI form some VoIP and telephony systems expect. It duplicates information already in the other number columns - keep it only if your phone system asks for this exact format.

## `skipPreviouslySeenContacts` (type: `boolean`):

Suppress any contact an earlier run already returned, so a scheduled job only pays for what is new. Off by default - leave it off if you want the full list each time and would rather filter on the New column yourself.

## `resetContactMemory` (type: `boolean`):

Clear the remembered contacts before this run, so everything counts as new again. Use after changing your target list.
