## 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.

### 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.
