## 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.

### FAQ — Accounting Contact Scraper ❓

#### How Does Accounting Contact Scraper Work?

It takes your search term and location, collects matching public business records, and saves contact details to your Apify dataset. The output is ready for analysis, export, and accounting prospecting workflows.

#### What Types of Businesses Can I Target?

You can target the business type or niche you enter in `googleMapsSearchTerm`, along with the locations you provide in `googleMapsLocation`. This makes it useful for accounting directory scraping and finance contact scraper use cases.

#### What Data Does It Return?

The dataset includes business name, website, phone, address fields, email lists, phone lists, social media links, number of emails found, pages scraped, rating, reviews, coordinates, place ID, and scrape status.

#### Can I Use It for CPA Contact List Building?

Yes. It is suitable for CPA contact list building, bookkeeper contact database creation, and broader accounting email scraper workflows, as long as the data is publicly available and used responsibly.

#### How Do I Control the Number of Results?

Use `maxBusinesses` to set the target number of businesses with emails. You can also enable `scrapeMaxBusinessesPerLocation` if you want that limit applied to each location separately.

#### Does It Support Proxy Usage?

Yes. The `proxyConfiguration` input lets you configure proxy settings for larger or more demanding runs. This helps improve reliability when scraping at scale.

#### What If a Business Has No Website?

If a business has no website, the actor still records the business with empty contact lists and a `scrape_status` of `no_website`, unless you are using email-only filtering in your workflow.

# Actor input Schema

## `googleMapsSearchTerm` (type: `string`):

Enter the business type or niche for email scraper (e.g., 'coffee shops', 'dentists').

## `googleMapsLocation` (type: `array`):

Target geographic location for the email scraper (e.g., 'Miami, Florida').

## `maxBusinesses` (type: `integer`):

Target number of businesses to find (1-1000). The scraper will stop when this target is reached.

## `scrapeMaxBusinessesPerLocation` (type: `boolean`):

If enabled, the scraper will collect up to `maxBusinesses` results per location. If disabled, it combines all locations up to a single total limit.

## `validateEmails` (type: `boolean`):

Run DNS/MX validation and confidence scoring on every email found, and include the results (confidence score, validation status, role-based/catch-all flags) in the output.

## `minRating` (type: `integer`):

Skip businesses rated below this (1-5 stars). Leave at 0 for no filter.

## `minReviews` (type: `integer`):

Skip businesses with fewer than this many Google reviews. Leave at 0 for no filter.

## `requireWebsite` (type: `boolean`):

Skip businesses with no website listed on Google Maps (they can't be crawled for contact info anyway).

## `leadMode` (type: `string`):

Business Contacts (default) returns the business's generic contact info (info@, main phone, socials). Decision-Maker Finder instead looks for a named person with a job title (e.g. "Jane Smith, Owner") on the business's team/about pages — a best-effort heuristic, not guaranteed on every site.

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

Proxy settings for scraping. Recommended for large-scale scraping.
