## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Trustpilot Competitor Review Monitor

Turn public Trustpilot company reviews into competitor and reputation intelligence for sales, marketing, customer success, support, product, and agency workflows.

Give the actor Trustpilot business profile URLs or plain company domains. It visits public review pages, reads JSON-LD and Next.js data when available, falls back to HTML parsing, and saves normalized review records with sentiment, urgency, competitor weakness, response-gap, CRM, and action notes.

### Pricing recommendation

Recommended public-store pricing: `$2.00 / 1,000 review intelligence records`.

Primary event name: `Review intelligence record`.

Recommended Apify categories: `Lead generation`, `Automation`, `AI`.

### What it extracts

- Company identity: `companyDomain`, `companyName`, public Trustpilot profile rating.
- Review content: `rating`, `title`, `review`, `author`, `reviewDate`, `language`, `stars`.
- Intelligence scores: `sentimentScore`, `urgencyScore`, `competitorWeaknessScore`.
- Workflow fields: `alertType`, `responseGap`, `crmNote`, `actionNote`.
- Traceability: `sourceUrl`, `dedupeKey`, `scrapedAt`.

### Input

- `companyUrls`: Trustpilot business profile URLs or plain domains.
- `domains`: optional additional plain domains merged with `companyUrls`.
- `maxPagesPerCompany`: max review pages to request per company.
- `maxReviewsPerCompany`: max unique records to save per company.
- `minStars` / `maxStars`: star-rating filters.
- `alertOnly`: keep only urgent or opportunity-oriented alerts.
- `keywords`: optional terms that must appear in review text or generated notes.
- `language`: `all` or a language code such as `en`, `fr`, `de`, `es`.
- `sort`: `recency` or `relevance`.

### Use cases

Competitor battlecards: monitor 1-3 star competitor reviews, identify repeated complaints about pricing, support, refunds, product quality, or onboarding, and feed the results into sales enablement.

Reputation alerts: watch your own or competitor profiles for unanswered negative reviews, urgent billing complaints, legal/trust language, and public support gaps.

Voice-of-customer research: collect positive and negative review language for positioning, landing pages, objection handling, product messaging, and churn prevention.

Agency reporting: produce a repeatable Trustpilot monitoring dataset for reputation management, SEO/GEO research, and executive weekly summaries.

### Notes on public data

This actor collects public Trustpilot business review pages only. It does not log in, bypass access controls, or collect private account data. Use reasonable page limits and request delays for monitoring workflows.

### Local QA

Run deterministic parser and scoring checks:

```bash
python tests/qa_harness.py
```

Run locally with Apify tooling and the smoke input:

```bash
apify run -i examples/cloud-smoke.json
```
