## 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).

# Actor input Schema

## `searchUrls` (type: `array`):

One or more FirmenABC.at listing URLs. Use category/location pages like https://www.firmenabc.at/firmen/w/software-it-edv-internet\_CXW or state pages like https://www.firmenabc.at/firmen/w (Wien).

## `searchQuery` (type: `string`):

Search keyword (e.g., 'software', 'restaurant', 'rechtsanwalt'). Used with the FirmenABC search if searchUrls is empty. For best results, use a listing URL from firmenabc.at instead.

## `location` (type: `string`):

Location filter when using searchQuery (e.g., 'Wien', 'Graz', 'Salzburg'). Only used if searchUrls is empty.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of companies to scrape.

## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Fetch each company's detail page for phone, email, website, description, opening hours, and more. Slower but much richer data.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Apify proxy settings. Datacenter proxy works well for FirmenABC.at.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "searchUrls": [
    "https://www.firmenabc.at/firmen/w/software-it-edv-internet_CXW"
  ],
  "location": "Wien",
  "maxResults": 50,
  "includeDetails": true,
