## 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

## 🛠️ German SHK & HVAC Lead Generator (B2B Contacts)

Stop scraping generic phone books. This Actor extracts **highly qualified, verified B2B leads** of German plumbing, heating, and air conditioning contractors (SHK - Sanitär, Heizung, Klima) directly from official trade registries.

Perfect for **B2B sales teams, cold calling, heat pump manufacturers, and recruiting agencies**.

### 🚀 Why this Actor is a Game Changer

Generic scrapers give you basic addresses and charge you for empty profiles. This tool acts as a smart, customizable filter focused entirely on **actionable contact data**:

- **Deep Specialization Filtering:** Only pay for leads that match your target audience (e.g., filter specifically for "Wärmepumpe" / Heat Pumps, "Solar", or "Badsanierung").
- **Zero-Garbage Quality Gate:** You decide what a qualified lead needs. Enable strict checkboxes for **Phone Number** and/or **Email Address**. Incomplete profiles are automatically skipped—you never pay for missing data.
- **100% Focused on Outreach:** By deliberately ignoring often outdated or association-injected website links, this tool guarantees that every returned data point (Phone & Email) is direct, clean, and ready for your sales team.
- **Flat Pay-per-Lead Pricing:** Always $0.01 per verified company profile, no matter how many Quality Gate filters you enable.

### 🎯 Ideal Workflows (Make.com / n8n)

Integrate this Actor into your automation pipelines:

1. **Cold Outreach:** Trigger the scraper weekly for a specific zip code and push new verified "Wärmepumpe" installers directly into your HubSpot or Pipedrive CRM.
2. **Recruiting:** Find specialized HVAC businesses in specific regions to offer targeted staffing solutions via direct mail or phone.

### 📊 Output Data Structure

The Actor delivers clean, ready-to-use JSON/CSV data:

- `firma`: Official company name
- `plz_ort`: Zip code and city
- `telefon`: Cleaned phone number (Guaranteed if Quality Gate is enabled)
- `email`: Direct contact email (Guaranteed if Quality Gate is enabled)
- `fachgebiete`: Detected specializations (Wärmepumpe, Solar, Sanitär, Klima, Lüftung, etc.)
- `detail_url`: Source profile link

### 💡 Usage Tip

Set a `fachgebiet` filter in the input and enable the Quality Gate checkboxes (`require_phone`, `require_email`) to receive 100% complete B2B datasets ready for immediate outreach.

**You can either input 5-digit zip codes for hyper-local scraping, or enter full city names like 'Hannover' or 'Berlin' to extract larger regional datasets in a single run.**

# 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 = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("scizzo/shk-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);
});

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call scizzo/shk-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,scizzo/shk-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).
