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.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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). # README ## Manta Business Scraper — US SMB Leads Turn Manta.com's US small-business directory into a clean lead list — company **name, phone, website, full address, and industry (NAICS/ISIC)** — filterable by **state** and **industry**. No login. Every Manta company profile publishes a complete `LocalBusiness` structured-data block, so records are clean and consistent (not fragile HTML scraping). ### What you get One row per business, with: - **name** — company name - **phone** — business phone (when published) - **email** — business email **only when the business published one on Manta** (many rows have phone + website but no email — this Actor ships no email guessing or enrichment) - **website** — the company's own website - **streetAddress, city, state, zip, country** — full mailing address - **latitude, longitude** — geocode - **category** — industry / business category - **naics, isicV4** — standard industry codes (for TAM / segmentation) - **numberOfEmployees, foundingDate** — firmographics (when published) - **socialLinks** — Twitter/X, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram profiles - **description** — the company blurb - **mantaId, mantaUrl, scrapedAt** — source + provenance ### Use cases - **Merchant-services & payments prospecting** — phone + website + industry SMB leads for power-dialer / SDR teams. - **Local SEO & marketing agency lead lists** — target one industry across a metro or state. - **Power-dialer feeds** — geo × industry slices ("plumbers in Dallas", "HVAC in Texas"). - **Market / TAM research by NAICS** — size and segment a local market by standard industry code. ### How to use Two modes: **1. Search by state / industry** (`mode: "search"`) - `states`: one or more US states — 2-letter codes or full names (e.g. `["TX"]`, `["California","Florida"]`). - `industryKeyword` (optional): keeps only businesses whose category / name matches (e.g. `plumbing`, `hvac`, `dentist`). Blank = every business in the state. **2. From start URLs** (`mode: "startUrls"`) - Paste Manta listing pages `/mb_.../{industry}/{city}` (the Actor extracts every company on them, following pagination) and/or direct profile pages `/c/{id}/{slug}`. Common options: - `requireContact` (default `true`): drop rows that have neither a phone nor a website. - `maxItems` (default `200`): cost/speed guard; `0` = no cap. - **Proxy**: Manta intermittently blocks datacenter IPs behind Cloudflare, so **RESIDENTIAL + US** is the default and strongly recommended. The Actor retries on a fresh proxy IP on any block. #### Input example ```json { "mode": "search", "states": ["TX"], "industryKeyword": "plumbing", "requireContact": true, "maxItems": 25, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } } ```` #### Output example ```json { "name": "Tribeca Plumbing, Inc.", "phone": "(214) 402-5454", "email": null, "website": "http://www.tribecaplumbinginc.com/", "streetAddress": "6211 W Northwest Hwy Ste C251", "city": "Dallas", "state": "Texas", "zip": "75225", "country": "United States", "latitude": "32.8664357", "longitude": "-96.8000069", "category": "Plumbing Specialties", "naics": "", "isicV4": "1711", "numberOfEmployees": "", "foundingDate": "", "socialLinks": ["https://www.twitter.com/TribecaPlumber", "http://www.facebook.com/tribecaplumbingtx/"], "description": "Your Dallas/Ft. Worth Plumbing Experts…", "mantaId": "mh1g4hf", "mantaUrl": "https://www.manta.com/c/mh1g4hf/tribeca-plumbing-inc", "scrapedAt": "2026-07-07T16:00:00.000Z" } ``` ### Pricing Pay per result: **one charge per business record delivered** (`business-scraped`). You pay only for the rows the Actor actually hands you. ### FAQ - **Do I need a Manta login?** No. All fields come from public company profiles. - **Why is `email` often empty?** Manta only shows an email when the business published one. This Actor does not guess or enrich emails — it reports what Manta publishes (most rows have phone + website). - **Why residential proxy?** Manta's Cloudflare bot-management intermittently blocks datacenter IPs. Residential (US) IPs fetch reliably; the Actor auto-retries on a fresh IP if it hits a block. - **How many businesses can I get?** Manta enumerates ~50,000 companies per state sitemap file and multiple files per state — millions US-wide. Use `maxItems` and `industryKeyword` to scope a run. ### Compliance You are responsible for complying with Manta's Terms of Service and applicable data/privacy law. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): 'search' = by state + optional industry keyword; 'startUrls' = paste Manta /mb listing or /c profile URLs. ## `states` (type: `array`): 2-letter codes or full names (e.g. TX, California). Enumerates that state's sitemap. Leave empty in startUrls mode. ## `industryKeyword` (type: `string`): Keeps only businesses whose category/name matches (e.g. 'plumbing', 'hvac', 'dentist'). Blank = all businesses in the state. ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Manta /mb\_...\_/{industry}/{city} listing pages or /c/{id}/{slug} profile pages. ## `requireContact` (type: `boolean`): Drops records that have neither phone nor website. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Cost/speed guard. 0 = no cap. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Manta flags datacenter IPs (intermittent Cloudflare 403). RESIDENTIAL + US strongly recommended. ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "search", "states": [ "TX" ], "industryKeyword": "plumbing", "requireContact": true, "maxItems": 200, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `records` (type: `string`): The dataset of scraped Manta business leads (one item per business). # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
