## 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.

### What you get
Each record is one software product, flat and ready for a spreadsheet, a CRM or a market model:
- **productName**, **productSlug** and **productUrl**: the product and a direct link
- **searchQuery** and **category**: the category or keyword that matched it
- **tagline**: a short description of what the product does
- **priceModel** and **pricingText**: pricing model (free, freemium, paid) and the price detail
- **features**: key product features
- **website**: the official product website
- **voteCount**: community popularity signal
- **starRating** and **reviewCount**: average rating out of 5 and how many reviews
- **topReviewerName**, **topReviewerRole**: who wrote the latest review and their job role / industry
- **topReviewRating**, **topReviewTitle**, **topReviewText**, **topReviewDate**: the latest user review
- **observedAt**: when the record was collected
Empty or failed runs are never charged. You only pay for real product records.
### Who is it for
| Use case | Who benefits |
|---|---|
| Competitive analysis | Product and marketing teams tracking rivals' ratings, pricing and positioning |
| Market research | Analysts mapping a software category and its leaders |
| Lead generation | Sales teams building lists of tools and their websites in a niche |
| Content and SEO | Writers and comparison sites sourcing structured product and review data |
### How to use it
1. Add one or more **Search Queries** (categories or keywords such as `CRM`, `project management`, `help desk`). Each item runs its own search.
2. Optionally list **specific products** by slug or URL to scrape them directly.
3. Set **Max Products To Scrape**, keep **Include Ratings & Reviews** on for the full data, and run. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull it through the Apify API.
### Frequently Asked Questions
**Can I scrape a whole software category?**
Yes. Enter the category name as a search query (for example `CRM` or `project management`) and the actor returns the matching products with their ratings, pricing and reviews.
**Do I get the actual review text?**
Yes. For each product the actor captures the latest user review with its title, body text, star rating, date and the reviewer's role or industry when available.
**Can I run several categories in one go?**
Yes. The search field is a list, so one run can cover many categories at once. Each record is tagged with the query that produced it.
**How fresh is the data?**
Products, ratings and reviews are read live at run time, so each record reflects the source at the moment of the run (see observedAt).

## `products` (type: `array`):
Optional list of specific product page slugs or URLs to scrape directly (e.g. "zoho-crm" or a full product URL). Use this when you already know the exact products you want.
