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.

By capturing detailed user metrics, professional backgrounds, and influence rankings, this tool helps you follow the "smart money" and high-conviction analysts on the platform. ### FEATURES Top Author Discovery: Automatically scrape the Top Authors leaderboard, capturing rank, totalViews, and subscriberCount. Engagement Metrics: Extract granular data on community influence, including narrativeCount (total analyses published) and fvSetsCount (Fair Value models created). Professional Backgrounds: Capture detailed bio information to verify the credentials of contributors (e.g., retired Wealth Management Directors, Swiss Private Bankers). Reputation Tracking: Identify elite users through the badges system, specifically looking for the "Recommended Voice" status. Growth Monitoring: Track followerCount and subscriberCount over time to see which analysts are gaining momentum in the community. Multimedia Assets: Extract imageUrl and slug data for full profile integration into external dashboards or social feeds. ### USE CASES Analyst Benchmarking: Identify authors with high totalViews but low narrativeCount to find high-impact, "quality over quantity" analysts. Expert Sourcing: Filter profiles by bio keywords (e.g., "Trusts," "Wealth Management," "Institutional") to find professional-grade insights. Copy-Trading Research: Monitor the activity of users with a high fvSetsCount to see which stocks are being re-valued most frequently by experienced users. Community Sentiment Mapping: Track the "Recommended Voices" to see if there is a collective shift in narrative across the platform's most trusted contributors. Talent Scouting: Find rising stars in the investment community by monitoring the registerDate vs. current subscriberCount growth. ### OUTPUT TOP Authors ```json { "rank": 1, "totalViews": 66743, "narrativeCount": 11, "fvSetsCount": 1238, "subscriberCount": 59, "isFollowing": false, "publicId": "k244wyp5", "displayName": "BlackGoat", "imageUrl": "https://images.simplywall.st/asset/user/66008299.1742533895367.b3af8ea79a3d4007.png", "role": "Community Contributor", "classification": null, "slug": "k244wyp5-blackgoat", "badges": [ { "id": "b4072f4f-b687-4df3-8024-d4007dc64112", "ref": "RECOMMENDED_VOICE" } ] } ```` Profile Info ```json { "slug": "bs1l9prg-clivethompson", "displayName": "Clive_Thompson", "imageUrl": "https://images.simplywall.st/asset/user/fa704e9e.1751503014484.3aab52b8047c458b.jpg", "role": "Community Contributor", "followerCount": 54, "commentCount": 0, "bio": "Retired Managing Director of Wealth Management at Union Bancaire PrivΓ©e UBP SA, Geneva, Switzerland.
