## What's an Apify Actor?
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).

### Who is it for
| Use case | Who benefits |
|---|---|
| Lead generation | Brands and services selling to dispensaries |
| Market research | Analysts mapping cannabis retail by state and city |
| Distribution | Suppliers finding retailers by license type and area |
| Competitive intel | Operators tracking rivals and coverage |
### How to use it
1. Set the **latitude** and **longitude** of the area you want (the default is Los Angeles).
2. Choose the **retailer service** (storefront, delivery or doctor).
3. Set **Max Items** and run. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull it through the Apify API.
### Frequently Asked Questions
**Which areas are covered?**
Any area where cannabis retailers are listed. Set the latitude and longitude to the center of the city or region you want and the actor returns the retailers around it.
**Storefront or delivery?**
Both. Pick storefront for physical dispensaries or delivery for delivery services with the retailer service option.
**Do I need a proxy?**
Yes. The source refuses datacenter traffic, so the actor uses US residential proxies by default. Keep the default proxy configuration for reliable results.
**Does it include menus and prices?**
This actor returns the dispensary directory (retailer profiles). Menu and product pricing are planned as an optional add-on.
