## 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.

# README

## Podcast Outreach Leads — $1.00 per 1,000

Find podcasts by topic through Apple Podcasts, then enrich each result from the show's public RSS feed. The dataset is built for guest pitching, podcast PR, sponsorship research, creator partnerships, competitive research, and media-list building.

### What you get

- Podcast name, publisher or host, Apple Podcast ID, genres, country, and episode count
- Public owner email when the show publishes one in its RSS feed
- Show website, RSS URL, Apple Podcasts URL, description, language, and artwork
- Latest episode title and publication date, plus Apple's last-release date
- `outreachReady`, `rssStatus`, and clear RSS errors so lists are easy to filter

### Quick start

Enter topics such as `business`, `cybersecurity`, or `parenting`, choose a storefront, set the maximum, and press **Start**. Turn on **Only shows with public email** when you need an email-ready list; leave it off for broader market research.

Example input:

```json
{
  "queries": ["venture capital", "startup founders"],
  "country": "US",
  "maxPodcastsPerQuery": 50,
  "minimumEpisodeCount": 10,
  "publishedWithinDays": 365,
  "enrichFromRss": true,
  "onlyWithEmail": false
}
```

### Pricing

Pay per result: **$0.001 per podcast ($1.00 per 1,000)** plus a $0.00005 run-start event and normal Apify platform usage. `maxPodcastsPerQuery` is a hard ceiling per topic.

### Source and responsible outreach

Discovery uses Apple's public iTunes Search service. Enrichment reads public podcast RSS feeds selected by their publishers. Email addresses are returned only when publicly present; the Actor does not guess or manufacture addresses. Honor opt-outs, identify yourself, keep pitches relevant, and follow applicable anti-spam and privacy rules.

### Reliability

The Actor retries temporary failures, deduplicates shows by Apple ID, preserves results when an individual RSS feed fails, and exposes RSS status per row. This makes partial source issues visible without destroying an otherwise useful dataset.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("scrapesignal_labs/podcast-outreach-leads").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("scrapesignal_labs/podcast-outreach-leads").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call scrapesignal_labs/podcast-outreach-leads --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,scrapesignal_labs/podcast-outreach-leads"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
