## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## 🚀 Leads Finder from your favourite B2B platform

Extract up to **20,000 verified leads** from a single search URL — emails, phone numbers, and company details.

> 💡 **Pro Tip:** For best performance, split large searches into batches of 20K using **multiple location filters** instead of one broad query.

---

### ⏱️ Speed & Performance

- Scraping speed is approximately **40 minutes per 1,000 leads**
- Speed is **not affected** by your device or internet connection — processing happens entirely on Apify's infrastructure
- Once your run is live and returning results, you can safely close your browser

---

### 📊 Data Coverage

| Data Point | Coverage |
| --- | --- |
| 💼 Work Emails | Up to 60%+ |
| 📧 Personal Emails | ~30% |
| 📞 Phone Numbers | ~30% |

---

### 🧠 How It Works

Paste any search URL from your B2B platform and the scraper handles everything else, no manual scrolling, no copy-pasting.

- **Autopilot scraping** — automatically pages through every result, capturing contacts, company info, and emails
- **Smart resume** — tracks your progress per URL and picks up exactly where it left off if a run is stopped or restarted
- **Deduplication built-in** — duplicate leads are automatically detected and skipped
- **One run at a time** — only one active run is allowed per account to ensure stability
- **Progress memory** — tracking is stored for **30 days**, after which it resets automatically

---

### 🍪 Cookie Setup (Required)

This scraper requires a valid session cookie from your B2B platform to function.

**How to get your cookie:**

1. Install the [🧩 EditThisCookie](https://www.editthiscookie.com) browser extension
2. Log into your B2B platform (LinkedIn, ZoomInfo, etc.)
3. Open EditThisCookie and copy your session cookie
4. Paste it into the `cookie` input field before starting a run

> ⚠️ If your cookie expires or becomes invalid, the scraper will throw errors. Refresh your cookies and restart the run.

---

### ▶️ Getting Started

1. Copy your **search URL** directly from your B2B platform's search results page
2. Paste it into the `searchUrl` field (clear any existing value first)
3. Set your **maximum lead count**
4. Add your **cookie** from the EditThisCookie extension
5. Hit **Start** and let it run

---

### ⚙️ Configuration

### 🛠️ Troubleshooting
