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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Das Telefonbuch Business Scraper Scrape business and person listings from [Das Telefonbuch](https://www.dastelefonbuch.de), Germany's official phone directory covering millions of businesses and residents. ### Features - **Keyword + location search** — Find businesses or residents by type and city - **Business & person search** — Toggle via `searchType` (`business` or `person`) - **Pagination** — Automatically crawls multiple result pages, follows the site's own `rel="next"` link for robustness - **Pay-per-result pricing** — Only pay for what you scrape ### Output Fields Every result includes these fields: | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `company_logo_url` | string | Real business logo from Das Telefonbuch's CDN (`ies.v4all.de`), never a generic placeholder | | `name` | string | Unique business or person name (taken from `
