## 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.

# README

## Clutch.co Agency Scraper — Leads, Phone, Website & Reviews

Turn any **Clutch.co** directory into a **B2B agency lead list.** For every agency you get the
company name, **website, phone, socials, location**, plus star rating, review count, min project
size, hourly rate, employee range and founded year — a complete, sales-ready record. Pipe the
website into an email finder and you've got a full outbound list.

Built for anyone selling **to agencies** — SaaS/tools, white-label services, recruiters, lead-gen,
and partnerships — or doing competitive/market research on the agency landscape.

---

### What you get (one row per agency)

- **Company** — name, Clutch profile URL
- **Contact** — `website`, `phone`, `socials { linkedin, facebook, twitter_x, instagram, youtube… }`
- **Location** — city, state, country
- **Qualifiers** — star `rating`, `review_count`, `min_budget`, `hourly_rate`, `employees`, `founded`

### How it works

1. **Directory sweep** — walks the Clutch category/directory pages you pass (e.g. `web-developers`,
   `digital-marketing-agencies`, `seo-firms`, or a full `clutch.co/...` URL incl. location filters).
2. **Profile enrichment** *(on by default)* — opens each agency's Clutch profile to pull the website,
   phone, full location and social profiles. You only pay `profile-enriched` when a contact is found.
3. **Chain to email** — feed the `website` column into
   **[Local Business Contact Enricher](https://apify.com/scrapersdelight/local-business-enricher)** to
   append a real email. Now you have agency → website → **email**.

### Pricing (pay per event)

| Event | Price | When |
|---|---|---|
| `provider-scraped` | **$0.003** | per agency lead returned |
| `profile-enriched` | **$0.007** | per agency **only when a website / phone / social is found** — misses free |

**Example** — 1,000 agencies with enrichment, ~900 with a contact: `1,000 × $0.003` + `900 × $0.007` ≈ **$9.30**.

### Example input

```json
{
  "directories": ["web-developers", "digital-marketing-agencies"],
  "maxItems": 200,
  "enrichProfiles": true
}
````

### FAQ

**Is this only public data?** Yes — public Clutch.co directory and profile pages. No login, no review
prose, factual lead fields only. You are responsible for compliant outreach (CAN-SPAM / GDPR / CCPA).

**Do I need proxies?** Residential is the default and required — Clutch is Cloudflare-fronted and blocks
a share of shared IPs. The actor auto-rotates fresh residential IPs and caches good ones, so it works
out-of-the-box; plug in your own premium residential for maximum reliability.

**Which directories can I scrape?** Any Clutch category or filtered listing — pass the slug (`seo-firms`)
or a full URL (`https://clutch.co/agencies/california`). Location and service filters in the URL are honored.

# Actor input Schema

## `directories` (type: `array`):

Clutch directory slugs or full URLs to scrape. Slugs: 'web-developers', 'digital-marketing-agencies', 'seo-firms', 'app-development', 'ui-ux-design', 'agencies/california' … or paste a full clutch.co/... URL (incl. location/filter variants).

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Cap on agency leads per run. Set 0 for the whole directory (respect maxPagesPerDirectory).

## `maxPagesPerDirectory` (type: `integer`):

How many listing pages (~40-70 agencies each) to walk per directory.

## `enrichProfiles` (type: `boolean`):

Fetch each agency's Clutch profile to pull their website, phone, full location and social profiles (the lead data). Costs nothing until a contact is found. Turn OFF for a fast listing-only pull.

## `concurrency` (type: `integer`):

How many profiles to enrich in parallel — each on its own proxy session.

## `enrichTries` (type: `integer`):

Max fresh-IP attempts per page. Clutch Cloudflare-blocks a share of shared residential IPs, so the actor rotates IPs until one gets through (good IPs are cached). Premium residential needs far fewer.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Residential is required — Clutch is Cloudflare-fronted. The actor auto-rotates fresh residential IPs and caches good ones; plug in your own premium residential for max reliability.

## `diagnose` (type: `boolean`):

Dev only. Logs per-page fetch status + retries.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "directories": [
    "web-developers"
  ],
  "maxItems": 10,
  "maxPagesPerDirectory": 5,
