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 ## Clutch.co Company Scraper 🚀 Scrape Clutch.co company profiles, listings, reviews, services, portfolio items, and contact details using Playwright and Apify actor conventions. ### Features - Crawls Clutch.co listing and search pages for company profile URLs. - Scrapes company profile data including name, logo, tagline, rating, review count, description, verification status, hourly rate, project size, employee range, founded year, and addresses. - Optionally collects portfolio items and company reviews. - Supports proxy configuration via Apify Proxy or local proxy settings. ### Getting Started 1. **Install dependencies** ```bash npm install ```` 2. **Configure input** - Edit `INPUT.json` or provide actor input through the Apify platform. - Example `INPUT.json`: ```json { "startUrls": [ "https://clutch.co/web-developers/freelance" ], "endPage": 3, "maxItems": 200, "includeReviews": true, "excludePortfolio": false, "maxReviewsPerCompany": 50, "proxy": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ``` 3. **Run locally** ```bash npm start ``` 4. **Docker / Actor** - Use the `Dockerfile` to build the image if needed. - `.actor/actor.json` defines Apify actor metadata and settings. ### Output Fields ```json { "url": "https://clutch.co/profile/smartsites", "summary": { "name": "SmartSites", "logo": "https://img.shgstatic.com/clutchco-static/image/scale/60x60/s3fs-public/logos/a33a9494d9c0f41b112e8a1b4354a3e9.png", "title": "Think Web.
