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. 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 ## Zola Wedding Vendor Scraper — Vendors, Pricing, Reviews & Leads (Websites, Socials & Emails) Extract **complete Zola wedding vendor data** — **venues, photographers, videographers, florists, caterers, planners, bands & DJs, hair & makeup, cakes, officiants and bar services** — with the fields other scrapers leave empty: **real starting prices and price tiers, peak/off-peak and per-person pricing, ratings, customer reviews, demand stats (couples booked, 30-day inquiries, response rate), award badges, websites, Instagram/Facebook/Pinterest, and phone**. Optionally turn every vendor into a **ready-to-contact lead** by crawling their own website for **emails, phone numbers and extra socials**. No login, no cookies, no browser — fast JSON extraction with high reliability. ### Why this Zola scraper? The big US wedding directories (The Knot, WeddingWire, Zola) are exactly where wedding businesses live — but most are walled behind aggressive anti-bot. This actor pulls clean, structured data straight from **Zola's marketplace API** and ships the **richest wedding-vendor dataset in the category**, with a real **lead-generation** angle. | Data | Typical scrapers | This actor | |---|---|---| | Vendor name, type, city, geo | ✅ | ✅ | | Starting price + price tier | ❌ partial | ✅ | | Peak / off-peak / per-person / target-budget pricing | ❌ | ✅ | | Rating + review count | ✅ | ✅ | | Full customer reviews (text, rating, reviewer) | ❌ | ✅ opt-in | | Demand stats: couples booked, 30-day inquiries, response rate | ❌ | ✅ | | "Best of" award badges, quick-responder, insured/licensed | ❌ | ✅ | | Vendor **website** + Instagram / Facebook / Pinterest | ❌ | ✅ | | Vendor **contact emails** (from their own website) | ❌ | ✅ opt-in | | FAQs, packages, photo/video counts | ❌ | ✅ opt-in | | Lead score (0–100) per vendor | ❌ | ✅ | | Monitor mode — only NEW vendors | ❌ | ✅ | ### Use cases - **Lead generation** — wedding vendors are high-ticket service businesses that constantly buy marketing, software, insurance, financing, supplies and referrals. Score them by reviews, demand (`thirtyDayInquiryCount`, `couplesBooked`) and price tier, then contact them via `website`, `instagram` and crawled `emails`. - **Market & pricing intelligence** — benchmark starting prices, price tiers and per-person budgets across cities and categories; see who's getting the most inquiries and bookings. - **Competitor monitoring** — track a city/category and watch new vendors appear, prices change, and reviews accumulate. - **Wedding tech & marketplaces** — power vendor directories, planning apps, CRMs and recommendation engines with structured vendor data. - **Sponsorship & partnership prospecting** — find top-rated, high-demand vendors by category and city and reach them with verified contact data. ### How to use 1. [Sign up for Apify](https://console.apify.com/sign-up) — the free plan is enough to try this actor. 2. Open the **Zola Wedding Vendor Scraper**, enter one or more **locations** (`Austin, TX`) and pick **vendor categories**, then click **Start**. 3. Watch vendor records stream into the dataset table. 4. **Export** as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS — or pull results via the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2). ### Input ```json { "searchLocations": ["Austin, TX", "Nashville, TN"], "vendorCategories": ["venues", "photographers", "florists"], "maxResults": 200, "minRating": 4, "includeVendorDetails": true, "includeReviews": true, "enrichContactEmails": true, "monitorMode": false } ``` - **searchLocations** — cities as `City, ST` (`Austin, TX`, `Los Angeles, CA`) or Zola city slugs (`austin-tx`). Each location is searched for every selected category. - **vendorCategories** — any of: `venues`, `photographers`, `videographers`, `florists`, `caterers`, `planners`, `bands-djs`, `hair-makeup`, `cakes-desserts`, `officiants`, `bar-services`. Defaults to Venues + Photographers. - **startUrls** — direct Zola vendor profiles (`/wedding-vendors/wedding-photographers/`) or category search pages (`/wedding-vendors/search/wedding-venues`). - **maxResults** — cap on vendor records across all locations/categories. - **minRating / maxStartingPrice / awardWinnersOnly / quickRespondersOnly** — filters. - **includeVendorDetails** *(default true)* — full profile: website, socials, phone, full pricing, badges, FAQs, packages, insured/licensed, demand stats. One extra request per vendor. - **includeReviews** *(default false)* — attach up to `maxReviewsPerVendor` customer reviews per vendor. - **enrichContactEmails** *(default false)* — crawl each vendor's own website (home + contact/about, up to 3 pages) for emails, phone, contact form and extra socials. Zola routes contact through an inquiry form — this is how you get real emails. Social-only "websites" (Instagram/Facebook) are skipped automatically. - **monitorMode** *(default false)* — remember vendors seen on previous runs and only emit NEW ones. Pair with [Schedules](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) for a continuous new-vendor lead feed. ### Output One record per vendor (`type: "vendor"`): ```json { "type": "vendor", "name": "Trouvaille Photography", "vendorType": "PHOTOGRAPHER", "category": "Photographers", "profileUrl": "https://www.zola.com/wedding-vendors/wedding-photographers/trouvaille-photography", "city": "Austin", "stateProvince": "TX", "postalCode": "78701", "latitude": 30.2672, "longitude": -97.7431, "homeServiceMarket": "Austin Metropolitan", "travelMarkets": ["Dallas", "Houston", "San Antonio"], "startingPriceUsd": 2500, "fullPriceMinUsd": 2500, "fullPriceMaxUsd": 6000, "priceTier": 3, "targetCoupleBudgetMinUsd": 2500, "targetCoupleBudgetMaxUsd": 6000, "averageRating": 5, "reviewCount": 24, "featuredReview": { "rating": 5, "reviewer": "Ana Z.", "text": "Exceeded every expectation…" }, "responseRatePercent": 100, "averageResponseTime": "16 Hours", "thirtyDayInquiryCount": 31, "quickResponder": true, "couplesBooked": 87, "couplesConsidering": 12, "badges": ["BEST_OF_2025", "BEST_OF_2026"], "insured": true, "licensed": true, "website": "https://www.trouvailleco.us", "instagram": "https://www.instagram.com/trouvailleco/", "facebook": null, "pinterest": null, "phone": "+1 505 331 1111", "faqs": [{ "question": "Do you travel?", "answer": "Yes, worldwide." }], "packages": [{ "name": "Full Day Coverage", "priceUsd": 2500, "description": "8 hours…" }], "emails": ["hello@trouvailleco.us"], "phones": ["(505) 331-1111"], "contactFormUrl": "https://www.trouvailleco.us/contact", "socialLinks": { "instagram": "https://instagram.com/trouvailleco" }, "reviews": [{ "rating": 5, "reviewer": "Ana Z.", "date": "2025-10-12", "text": "…" }], "leadScore": 84, "searchLocation": "Austin, TX", "searchCategory": "Photographers", "scrapedAt": "2026-06-16T12:00:00.000Z" } ``` ### Automate & schedule Run this actor on autopilot and pull results into your own stack: - **[Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2)** — start runs, fetch datasets, and manage schedules over REST. - **[apify-client for JavaScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/)** and **[apify-client for Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/)** — official SDKs. - **[Schedules](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules)** — run it daily/weekly with **monitor mode** to get only newly listed vendors in a city or category; perfect for lead pipelines. - **[Webhooks](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/webhooks)** — trigger downstream actions (CRM import, Slack alert, email sequence) the moment a run finishes. ```js import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'MY_APIFY_TOKEN' }); const run = await client.actor('scrapesage/zola-wedding-vendor-scraper').call({ searchLocations: ['Nashville, TN'], vendorCategories: ['venues', 'photographers'], maxResults: 200, includeReviews: true, enrichContactEmails: true, }); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); console.log(`Got ${items.length} wedding vendor leads`); ``` ### Integrate with any app Connect the dataset to 5,000+ apps — no code required: - **[Make](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/make)** — multi-step automation scenarios. - **[Zapier](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/zapier)** — push new vendor leads straight into your CRM. - **[Slack](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/slack)** — get notified when a monitored city/category finds new vendors. - **[Google Drive / Sheets](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/drive)** — auto-export every run to a spreadsheet. - **[Airbyte](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/airbyte)** — pipe results into your data warehouse. - **[GitHub](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/github)** — trigger runs from commits or releases. ### Use with AI assistants (MCP) The output is clean, LLM-ready JSON. Call this actor from Claude, ChatGPT, or any agent framework through the **[Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp)** — ask your assistant to "find top-rated wedding photographers in Austin and list their websites and emails" and let it run this scraper for you. ### Agent-ready: autonomous payments (x402 & Skyfire) This actor is **agent-ready** — AI agents can discover it, run it, and **pay for it autonomously**, with no Apify account and no human in the loop. It uses [pay-per-event](https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/publishing/monetize/pay-per-event) pricing and [limited permissions](https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/development/permissions), so it qualifies for Apify's agentic-payment standards: - **[x402](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/x402)** — an open, HTTP-native payment protocol. Agents pay per run in USDC on the Base network directly through the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp) — no account, no API key. - **[Skyfire](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/skyfire)** — agent-to-service payments for fully autonomous AI-agent workflows. Building an AI agent, MCP tool, or autonomous data pipeline? This scraper is ready to plug in and pay as it goes. ### More scrapers from scrapesage Build a complete **local-business & lead-gen stack**: - **[Eventbrite Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/eventbrite-scraper)** — events with ticket prices + organizer leads (great for event-vendor prospecting). - **[Booksy Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/booksy-scraper)** — beauty & wellness pros, services, and contact leads. - **[Fresha Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/fresha-scraper)** — salons, spas & medspas with websites and socials. - **[Bark Listing Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/bark-listing-scraper)** — service-provider leads across hundreds of categories. - **[Houzz Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/houzz-scraper)** — home & design pros, contacts and reviews. - **[FastExpert Agent Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/fastexpert-agent-scraper)** — real-estate agent leads with direct contact data. - **[Facebook Ad Library Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/facebook-ad-library-scraper)** — competitor ad intelligence for any vendor niche. - **[Google Ads Transparency Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/google-ads-transparency-scraper)** — who's advertising what on Google. ### Tips - **Big cities**: Zola caps a single search at 10,000 results per category. Split by category (and city) to exhaust a large metro. - **Reach more vendors**: many vendors `travel` — searching nearby metros surfaces additional vendors who serve your city. - **Emails**: set `enrichContactEmails` on; vendors with a real website (not just an Instagram link) yield the most emails. Zola itself never publishes emails. - **Recurring monitoring**: combine [Schedules](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) with `monitorMode` to capture only new vendors as they list. - **Proxies**: keep the default Apify **Residential (US)** proxy — Zola blocks datacenter IPs. ### FAQ **How do I scrape wedding vendors for a specific city?** Put the city in `searchLocations` as `City, ST` (e.g. `Austin, TX`) and pick `vendorCategories`. Each city is searched for every selected category. **Which vendor types are supported?** Venues, photographers, videographers, florists, caterers, planners, bands & DJs, hair & makeup, cakes & desserts, officiants, and bar services. **Where do the emails come from?** Never from Zola (it routes contact through an inquiry form). With `enrichContactEmails` on, the actor visits the vendor's own public website and extracts publicly listed contact emails — the same thing a human visitor would see. **Can I export to Google Sheets, CSV, or Excel?** Yes — one click in the dataset view, or automatically on every run via the [Google Drive integration](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/drive). **How do I get only new vendors over time?** Turn on `monitorMode` and create a [Schedule](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules); each run returns only vendors that appeared since the last run. **Is scraping Zola legal?** This actor collects publicly available data only. You are responsible for using the data in compliance with applicable laws (GDPR/CCPA for personal data) and Zola's terms. **A field is null — why?** Some vendors genuinely don't publish a price, website, or phone. Fields are `null` only when the data doesn't exist, not because the scraper skipped them. ### Need help?

Feature requests are welcome — this actor is actively maintained. # Actor input Schema ## `searchLocations` (type: `array`): Cities to search, as City, ST strings (Austin, TX, Los Angeles, CA, New York, NY) or Zola city slugs (austin-tx). Each location is searched for every selected vendor category. ## `vendorCategories` (type: `array`): Which vendor types to scrape. Leave empty to default to Venues + Photographers. ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Direct Zola URLs: vendor profiles (/wedding-vendors/wedding-photographers/\) or category search pages (/wedding-vendors/search/wedding-venues). Used in addition to the searches above. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of vendor records to scrape across all locations and categories. ## `minRating` (type: `integer`): Only keep vendors with an average rating at or above this value (0–5). 0 = no filter. ## `maxStartingPrice` (type: `integer`): Only keep vendors whose starting price is at or below this amount. Leave empty for no price cap. ## `awardWinnersOnly` (type: `boolean`): Only keep vendors with a Zola "Best of" award badge. ## `quickRespondersOnly` (type: `boolean`): Only keep vendors flagged by Zola as quick responders (high inquiry response rate). ## `includeVendorDetails` (type: `boolean`): Fetch each vendor's profile for the full record: website, Instagram/Facebook/Pinterest, phone, full pricing (peak/off-peak, per-person, target budget), award badges, FAQs, packages, insured/licensed flags, couples-booked demand stats. One extra request per vendor. ## `includeReviews` (type: `boolean`): Attach up to N customer reviews per vendor (rating, text, reviewer, date). One extra request per vendor. ## `maxReviewsPerVendor` (type: `integer`): Cap on reviews attached to each vendor when "Include customer reviews" is on. ## `enrichContactEmails` (type: `boolean`): Crawl each vendor's own website (home + contact/about, up to 3 pages) to extract contact emails, phone numbers, a contact-form URL, and extra social links. Zola hides direct contact behind its inquiry form — this is how you get real emails. Requires "Include full vendor details". ## `monitorMode` (type: `boolean`): Remember vendors seen on previous runs and only emit NEW ones. Perfect with Apify Schedules for a continuous new-vendor lead feed. Uses a named key-value store to track seen vendors. ## `monitorStoreName` (type: `string`): Name of the key-value store used to track seen vendors across runs (lowercase letters, digits and hyphens). Use different names for independent monitors. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxies to use. Apify RESIDENTIAL (US) is strongly recommended — Zola blocks datacenter IPs via CloudFront. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchLocations": [ "Austin, TX" ], "vendorCategories": [ "venues", "photographers" ], "maxResults": 100, "minRating": 0, "awardWinnersOnly": false, "quickRespondersOnly": false, "includeVendorDetails": true, "includeReviews": false, "maxReviewsPerVendor": 20, "enrichContactEmails": false, "monitorMode": false, "monitorStoreName": "zola-monitor", "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): All scraped wedding vendor records as JSON items in the default dataset. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
