## 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/docs.md):
```bash
npm install apify-client
```
In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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.

### How to use it
1. Add one or more **practice areas** (for example `criminal-law`, `personal-injury-plaintiff`, `divorce`).
2. Add one or more **locations** as `state/city` (for example `california/los-angeles`, `texas/houston`).
3. Set **Max Lawyers To Scrape** and run. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull it through the Apify API.
### Frequently Asked Questions
**What practice area values can I use?**
Use directory slugs such as `criminal-law`, `personal-injury-plaintiff`, `divorce`, `family-law`, `dui-dwi`, `estate-planning`, `bankruptcy`, `immigration`, `employment-law` or `real-estate`. Each practice area is searched in every location you list.
**How do I write the location?**
Use `state/city` in lowercase with hyphens, for example `california/los-angeles`, `new-york/new-york` or `florida/miami`.
**Does every record include an address and phone?**
Most attorneys and firms include a phone and full postal address. A small number of promoted listings may omit some fields, which are returned as null.
**Am I charged for empty runs?**
No. You are only charged per real attorney or firm record returned. A run that finds nothing is not billed.
