## 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.
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.
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).

Phone & email direct contact details
Address & category for every listing
JSON / CSV / Excel output formats
### Who is it for
| Use case | Who benefits |
|---|---|
| Sales prospecting | Sales teams building targeted call lists across Australia |
| Lead generation | Agencies selling to local businesses by suburb and category |
| Market research | Analysts mapping how many providers serve a market |
| Local outreach | Marketers running regional campaigns by trade |
### How to use it
1. Add one or more **search queries** (for example `plumber`, `restaurant` or `electrician`). Each query runs against every location.
2. Add one or more **locations** (for example `Sydney NSW`, `Melbourne VIC` or `Brisbane QLD`). Leave empty to search nationwide.
3. Set **Max Businesses To Scrape** and run. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull the results through the Apify API.
Keep **Fetch Business Details** on to enrich each business with website, email, coordinates and rating. Turn it off for a faster run with core fields only (name, phone, address, category).
### Frequently Asked Questions
**Which fields matter most for outreach?**
Phone is the direct contact point for every listing. Email and website help you qualify and reach each lead, address lets you target by suburb, and category lets you segment by trade.
**Does every business have an email or website?**
No. Name, phone, address and category are available for almost every listing. Email and website are included whenever the business publishes them, so coverage varies by category and area.
**Can I search many keywords and locations at once?**
Yes. Both the query and location fields accept a list, and the scraper runs every keyword against every location in a single run, tagging each record with the pair that produced it.
**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).
