## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## 📇Leads Finder — One URL In, Thousands of Leads Out

Point this at any search results page on a major B2B platform and it will return up to **20,000 contacts** complete with emails, phone numbers, and firmographic details, no scrolling, no exporting by hand.

> 💡 **Tip:** Rather than running one massive query, split your target list across several narrower searches (by region)

***

### 🔑 Authentication Requirement

Before anything runs, the actor needs proof you're logged in, a session cookie lifted from your own browser.

**To capture it:**

1. Add the [🧩 EditThisCookie](https://www.editthiscookie.com) extension to your browser
2. Sign into the platform you plan to search (LinkedIn, ZoomInfo, etc.)
3. Open the extension and copy the active session cookie
4. Paste that value into the `cookie` field before you launch

> ⚠️ Cookies go stale. If a run starts throwing errors partway through, that's usually why, capture a new one and kick off the run again.

***

### 🧾 Setting Up Your First Run

1. Navigate to your B2B platform and run the search you want to extract
2. Copy the resulting URL from the address bar
3. Paste it into `searchUrl`, overwriting any default text
4. Set `maxResults` to however many contacts you're after
5. Fill in the `cookie` field with what you copied earlier
6. Click **Start**

***

### ⚙️ What Happens After You Hit Start

- **Self-navigating** — the actor pages through the entire result set on its own, pulling names, titles, companies, and contact info as it goes
- **Checkpointing** — if a run gets cut off, it remembers its place for that exact URL and continues rather than starting over
- **Duplicate filtering** — contacts that already showed up won't be added twice
- **One job at a time** — accounts are limited to a single concurrent run for reliability
- **30-day retention** — checkpoint data for a given URL expires after 30 days if left untouched

***

### 🕐 How Long Will It Take?

Budget around **40 minutes for every 1,000 contacts** pulled. All the work happens on Apify's servers, not your machine, so your connection speed or laptop battery has zero effect. Feel free to close the tab once you see the run underway.

***

#### Example

```json
{
  "searchUrl": "https://www....",
  "maxResults": 12000,
  "cookie": "{...}, {...}"
}
```

***

### 💳 Pricing Tiers

| Account | Max Leads / Run |
| --- | --- |
| Free | 100 |
| Paid | 20,000 |

> ⚠️ Every run bills for at least 100 leads no matter what actually gets returned — so confirm your search yields 100+ results before launching, or you'll pay for contacts you never received.

***

### 🧯 If Something Goes Wrong

| What You're Seeing | Try This |
| --- | --- |
| Run halts before finishing | Check the **Logs** tab for the specific failure |
| Errors tied to login/cookie | Re-copy your cookie from EditThisCookie and start over |
| Nothing comes back | Load the URL yourself first to confirm it returns results |
| Too many repeats | Add more filters so each search targets a narrower slice |

***

### ⚖️ Responsible Use

- Stick to the Terms of Service of whichever platform you're pulling data from
- Never use exported contacts for spam or unlawful outreach

# 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 = {
    "maxResults": 10000,
    "cookies": [
        "Paste your platform Cookie (clear input before pasting)"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("peakydev/leads-finder-apollo-linkedin").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) => {

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "maxResults": 10000,
    "cookies": ["Paste your platform Cookie (clear input before pasting)"],
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("peakydev/leads-finder-apollo-linkedin").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "maxResults": 10000,
  "cookies": [
    "Paste your platform Cookie (clear input before pasting)"
  ]

apify call peakydev/leads-finder-apollo-linkedin --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {

            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,peakydev/leads-finder-apollo-linkedin"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
