## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

### Who is it for

| Use case | Who benefits |
|---|---|
| Sales prospecting | Sales teams building targeted call and email lists in Germany |
| Lead generation | Agencies selling to local businesses by city and category |
| Market research | Analysts mapping how many providers serve a city |
| Local outreach | Marketers running regional campaigns by trade |

### How to use it

1. Enter a **keyword or category** (for example `restaurant`, `zahnarzt` or `hotel`).
2. Enter a **city** (for example `berlin`, `muenchen` or `hamburg`).
3. Set **Max Items** and run. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull the results through the Apify API.

### Frequently Asked Questions

**Which fields matter most for outreach?**
Phone and email are the direct contact points. Website and address help you qualify and route each lead, and category lets you segment by trade.

**Does every business have an email?**
No. Phone, address and category are available for almost every listing. Email and website are included whenever the business publishes them, so email coverage varies by category and city.

**Can I collect more than one page of results?**
Yes. Set Max Items higher and the scraper keeps collecting additional businesses beyond the first page for that keyword and city.

**How fresh is the data?**
Every record is read live at run time, so it reflects the directory at the moment of the run (see observedAt).

### Export, API and AI agents (x402 + MCP)

Export the scraped data to **JSON, CSV or Excel**, pull it as a **dataset** through the Apify **API**, or wire it into your app with **no code**. This web scraper and data extractor also works for bulk data extraction and scheduled runs.

For AI agents: this Actor is available on **x402**, Apify's agentic payment standard built with Coinbase. An AI agent can discover, pay for and run it on its own with a funded wallet and a single HTTP request: no account, no subscription, no API key and no human in the loop. It also runs as an **MCP** tool inside Claude, Cursor and other AI clients out of the box. Learn more about [x402 agentic payments on Apify](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/x402).
