## 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`).

### What does Umzugsfirmen-Check.de Scraper do?

**Umzugsfirmen-Check.de Scraper** exports **German moving company listings** from [Umzugsfirmen-Check.de](https://www.umzugsfirmen-check.de/) — a directory with verified movers, contact details, logos, and customer ratings. Paste a regional list URL (for example `https://www.umzugsfirmen-check.de/list/umzugsunternehmen/berlin/berlin`) or a single company profile and get structured JSON without coding.

Optional **customer reviews** go to a separate dataset when you enable **Include reviews**.

### What can this Actor do?

- Scrape **city and regional list pages** with automatic pagination
- Export **phone, email, address, logo, price range, and review counts**
- Normalize Umzugsfirmen-Check **0–10 scores to a 1–5 scale** in output fields (see below)
- Optionally export **review text, move routes, and reviewer names** to a reviews dataset
- Run on the **Apify platform** with scheduling, monitoring, dataset export, and API access

### Why scrape Umzugsfirmen-Check.de?

- **Lead generation** — Build mover lists for a city or Bundesland with contact details
- **Market research** — Compare ratings and review volume across regions
- **Directory enrichment** — Pair company names and locations with your CRM
- **Reputation monitoring** — Track scores for partners or competitors over time

### Rating scale (0–10 → 1–5)

Umzugsfirmen-Check displays ratings on a **0–10** scale (see `ratingSite` in output). The Actor also writes **`rating`** on a familiar **1–5** scale:

`rating = round(1 + (ratingSite / 10) × 4, 2)`

Examples: site **10.0** → **5.0**, site **7.5** → **4.0**, site **0** → **1.0**. Review rows include the same pair: `ratingSite` (original) and `rating` (normalized).

### What data can you extract from Umzugsfirmen-Check.de?

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| name | Company name |
| legalName | Legal name when published |
| url | Public profile URL |
| phone | Phone number |
| email | Email when available |
| imageUrl | Logo or profile image |
| streetAddress, city, postalCode, country | Address fields |
| stateSlug, citySlug, companySlug | URL segments |

| reviewCount | Total review count |
| priceRange | Price indicator when shown |
| openingHours | Opening hours on profile pages |
| searchUrl | Source list URL for listings found via search |

With **Include reviews** enabled, the **reviews** dataset adds `reviewId`, `title`, `text`, `rating`, `ratingSite`, `reviewerName`, `reviewDate`, `moveFromCity`, `moveToCity`, and `companyUrl`.

### How to scrape Umzugsfirmen-Check.de

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console.
2. Add one or more **regional list or company profile URLs** under **Start URLs**.
3. Set **Maximum items** (listings per start URL).

- Company profile: `https://www.umzugsfirmen-check.de/detail/{state}/{city}/{company-slug}`

**Why are some reviewer names “anonymous”?** The site publishes some reviews without a full name.
