## 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

## Zalo Official Account Finder

> **Unofficial.** This Actor is not affiliated with, authorised by, endorsed by, or officially connected to Zalo. It reads public pages only.

Finds Vietnamese business Official Accounts (OAs) from public `zalo.me` pages. Provide OA URLs directly, or discover indexed OA links through Google with keywords and optional locations. Discovery coverage is limited to what Google has indexed.

It does not access personal profiles, groups, conversations, or login-only content.

By default (`verifiedOnly: true`) it returns only accounts Zalo marks as verified businesses. Rows describe businesses, not individuals; check local data-protection rules (Vietnam Law 91/2025/QH15) before reusing contact details.

Inputs include `searchQueries`, `locations`, `oaUrls`, `maxItems`, `maxPagesPerQuery`, `onlyWithPhone`, `verifiedOnly`, `categoryContains`, and `debugSaveSerp`.

Rows contain the public OA id, name, categories, verification state, tier, description, business details when present, canonical URL, matched query, discovery source, and UTC scrape timestamp. `discovery` is `google` for SERP results or `direct` for supplied `oaUrls`. If every first-page SERP transport fails, a last-resort seed of ten previously captured OAs may be served; those rows are flagged `fallback-seed` and have a null `matchedQuery`.

### How much does it cost to scrape Zalo Official Accounts?

Pay-per-event: **$0.004 per account** saved to the dataset (**$4.00 per 1,000 accounts**), plus **$0.00005** charged once when the run starts. No subscription. Only rows saved to the dataset are charged.

# 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 = {
    "searchQueries": [
        "spa"
    ],
    "locations": [
        "Hà Nội"
    ],
    "oaUrls": [],
    "maxItems": 5,
    "maxPagesPerQuery": 1
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("reventadata/zalo-scraper").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) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "searchQueries": ["spa"],
    "locations": ["Hà Nội"],
    "oaUrls": [],
    "maxItems": 5,
    "maxPagesPerQuery": 1,
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("reventadata/zalo-scraper").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():
    print(item)

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,reventadata/zalo-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
