## 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

## Bing Maps Scraper

Extracts public place and business results from Bing Maps: names, addresses, phone numbers, websites, coordinates, ratings, review counts, opening hours, categories, and place IDs.

### What this Actor collects

Each dataset item represents one Bing Maps place or business, with available contact details, location, categories, ratings, hours, media, and source identifiers.

- Uses the input limits and filters below to control the crawl.
- Stores source-backed fields defined by the 64-field dataset schema.
- Omits optional fields when the source does not expose a value instead of writing nulls or fabricated placeholders.

### Use cases

- Local lead research
- Location and category monitoring
- Business-directory enrichment

### Input

Provide input in JSON. Fields marked required must be supplied; source-specific alternatives and constraints are described in the field text.

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | :---: | --- | --- |
| `query` | string | Yes | `"restaurants in New York"` | The place or business type to search for on Bing Maps (e.g. 'restaurants in New York', 'hotels in Chicago') |
| `maxItems` | integer | No | `50` | Maximum number of place results to extract |
| `market` | string | No | `"en-US"` | Bing market code (language-country), e.g. en-US, en-GB, de-DE |
| `headless` | boolean | No | `true` | Run browser in headless mode (recommended for performance) |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | No | `{"useApifyProxy":true,"apifyProxyGroups":["RESIDENTIAL"]}` | Proxy settings for the scraper |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "query": "restaurant",
  "maxItems": 3,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ]
  },
  "market": "en-US",
  "headless": true
}
```

### Output

The default dataset contains one item per place or local-business result. The following are the most useful fields; availability varies with the listing.

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `position` | integer | Result position |
| `name` | string | Place name |
| `category` | string | Primary category |
| `address` | string | Full address |

echo '{
  "query": "restaurants in New York",
  "maxItems": 50,

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,searchapi/bing-maps-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
