## 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.

### Multiple Email Types

**Email Types** replaces the old single Audience Type choice: select as many
kinds of mailbox as you want and the run chases all of them together.

| Type | What it matches |
| --- | --- |
| Personal / free webmail | Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud, AOL, Proton, ... |
| Business / corporate | Company domains - free webmail and institutions excluded |
| Education (.edu / .ac) | `.edu`, `.ac.uk`, `.edu.au`, `.ac.in` and other academic suffixes |
| Government (.gov / .mil) | `.gov`, `.mil`, `.gov.uk`, `.gc.ca`, ... |
| Non-profit (.org) | `.org`, `.ngo`, `.org.uk`, ... |

Each selected type contributes its own Google dork patterns *and* its own domain
test, so a result is only kept if it genuinely belongs to the type that found
it. Every row carries an `emailType` field recording which one that was.

Suffixes are matched as real domain suffixes, so `cs.mit.edu` counts as
Education while `notedu.com` does not.

Setting **Custom Email Domains** still overrides everything: an explicit domain
list is a manual override and replaces the type-driven patterns. The legacy
`audienceType` value is still accepted, so saved inputs keep working.

# Actor input Schema

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

A list of keywords or queries to search for.

## `audienceType` (type: `string`):

Business Emails runs contextual discovery patterns tuned for company contact pages ("email us at", "contact@", careers, bookings, ...) and filters out consumer webmail domains. Consumer Emails instead searches gmail.com, yahoo.com, outlook.com, hotmail.com and icloud.com directly.

## `maxEmails` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of emails to collect. The scraper will stop once this limit is reached. Setting a higher limit allows for more potential results but doesn't guarantee reaching that number. This helps save costs by controlling scraping time.

## `customDomains` (type: `array`):

Optional manual override — provide specific email domains to search for (e.g. @hubspot.com) instead of using Audience Type. Leave empty to use Audience Type.

## `emailTypes` (type: `array`):

Which kinds of mailbox to hunt for. Pick as many as you like - each type contributes its own set of Google search patterns and its own domain filter, and every result records the type it was found as. Personal = free webmail (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud). Business = company domains, excluding free webmail and institutions. Education = .edu / .ac.uk and friends. Government = .gov / .mil. Non-profit = .org.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "keywords": [
    "manager",
    "founder"
  ],
  "audienceType": "Consumer Emails",
  "maxEmails": 20,
  "customDomains": [],
  "emailTypes": [
    "Personal",
    "Business"
  ]
}
```

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).
