## 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

### Ophthalmologist Lead Generator

**Ophthalmologist Lead Generator** helps you turn time-consuming manual research into a fast, structured workflow for finding public business contact details. It’s built for ophthalmology lead generation, eye doctor leads, and ophthalmologist marketing, helping marketers, data analysts, and researchers uncover ophthalmology patient acquisition opportunities with less effort and better ROI. 👀

### What is Ophthalmologist Lead Generator? 🔍

Ophthalmologist Lead Generator is an Apify automation actor that finds businesses matching your search term and location, then collects publicly available contact information into a clean dataset. It’s designed for anyone building an ophthalmology contact list, whether you’re focused on eye clinic lead generation, vision care leads, or specialist doctor leads. In practice, Ophthalmologist Lead Generator helps support automated ophthalmology lead generation by returning structured business data and contact details that can be used for outreach, research, or prospecting.

### What Does Ophthalmologist Lead Generator Do? ⚙️

You provide a search term, one or more locations, and a result target. The actor then finds matching businesses in public web data, enriches them with contact details from publicly available sources, and saves the results to an Apify dataset. It’s useful for teams looking for ophthalmologist appointment booking opportunities, LASIK leads, cataract surgery leads, retina specialist leads, and broader optometry and ophthalmology leads.

- 🔍 **Searches** for businesses using your chosen term and location list
- 📧 **Extracts** public contact details such as emails, phone numbers, and social media profiles
- 🌍 **Filters** results by location, helping you focus on the right market
- 📊 **Structures** the output as clean dataset records for easy analysis
- 💾 **Saves** results in Apify’s dataset format for export and downstream use

### FAQ — Ophthalmologist Lead Generator ❓

#### How Does the Ophthalmologist Lead Generator Work?

You enter a search term and one or more locations, then the actor finds matching businesses and saves their public contact details into an Apify dataset. It is designed for practical ophthalmology lead generation and related research workflows.

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

You can target any business type or niche by using the search term field. Many users apply it to eye doctor leads, optometry and ophthalmology leads, vision care leads, and specialist doctor leads.

#### What Data Do I Get Back?

### 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.
