## 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.

### What you get

Each investor record includes:

- **Investor** name, **type** (VC firm, angel, family office, accelerator) and whether the profile is claimed/verified
- **Check size** range (plus parsed min and max) and whether the investor **leads rounds**
- **Funding stages** covered and **target countries / geographies**
- **Investment thesis**, **value add** offered to founders and **typical terms**
- **Reply rate** to inbound decks and the **profile / submit-deck link**

Only real investor records are charged. Empty runs cost nothing.

### Who is it for

| Use case | Who benefits |
|---|---|
| Fundraising | Founders building a targeted investor pipeline by stage and sector |
| Fundraising services | Advisors and agencies assembling investor lists for clients |
| BD & partnerships | Teams mapping active investors in a vertical or geography |
| Market research | Analysts studying investor focus, check sizes and stages |

### How to use it

1. Add one or more **lists** — a sector (`ai`, `fintech`, `saas`), a full slug (`angel-investors-france`, `vc-firms-fintech`) or an OpenVC investor-list URL.
2. Optionally filter by **investor type**, **stage**, **geography**, **check size**, or lead-only.
3. Set **Max Investors** and run. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull it through the Apify API.

### Frequently Asked Questions

**Which investors are covered?**
VC firms, angel investors, angel groups, family offices, accelerators and incubators listed across OpenVC's sector, stage and geography lists.

**What targeting data do I get?**
Check size, funding stages, target countries and the investor's written thesis and value add, so you can prioritise the best-fit investors before reaching out.

**How do I contact an investor?**
Each record includes the OpenVC profile / submit-deck link, plus any public social links the investor lists.

**Will I be charged for empty runs?**
No. You are only charged per real investor record returned. A run that matches nothing costs nothing.

### 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).
