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.

The actor will search Google for Instagram profiles/posts containing these keywords and extract email addresses. ## `platform` (type: `string`): Select platform. ## `location` (type: `string`): Optional: Add location to search query (e.g., 'London', 'New York'). Leave empty to search globally. ## `emailDomains` (type: `array`): Optional: Filter results to only include emails from specific domains (e.g., \['@gmail.com', '@outlook.com']). Leave empty to collect all email domains. ## `maxEmails` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of emails to collect per keyword (default: 20). ## `engine` (type: `string`): Choose scraping engine. πŸš€ Cost Effective (New): Uses residential proxies with async requests for faster, cheaper scraping. πŸ”§ Legacy: Uses GOOGLE\_SERP proxy with traditional selectors - more reliable but slower and more expensive. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Choose which proxies to use. By default, no proxy is used. If Google rejects or blocks the request, the actor will automatically fallback to datacenter proxy, then residential proxy with 3 retries. ## Actor input object example ```json { "keywords": [ "marketing" ], "platform": "Instagram", "location": "", "emailDomains": [ "@gmail.com" ], "maxEmails": 20, "engine": "legacy", "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` # 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 '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "keywords": [ "marketing" ], "emailDomains": [ "@gmail.com" ], "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("scrapapi/instagram-b2b-lead-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`πŸ’Ύ 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); }); // πŸ“š Want to learn more πŸ“–?
