## 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.

Scraping Yellowpages (YP) is one of the most effective ways to build local B2B lead lists, but aggressive IP bans and CAPTCHAs make it a nightmare to scale. **This Actor solves that completely.**

Powered by the **[SignalQub Data Engine](https://signalqub.com/endpoints/yellowpages/local-business-search-scraper)**, the Ultimate Yellowpages Scraper provides lightning-fast, zero-authentication extraction. Instantly pull hundreds of local businesses, their phone numbers, street addresses, and ratings without managing a single proxy.

***

### 🌟 Key Features

- **Zero Authentication Required:** No login, no session cookies, and no risk of IP bans.
- **Bypass Anti-Bot Restrictions:** We manage the proxies, headless browsers, and HTML parsing automatically via **[SignalQub](https://signalqub.com)**.
- **Deep Pagination:** Simply pass page numbers to scrape deep into search results for thousands of leads.
- **Unified Output:** All data is perfectly mapped into a flat 5-column schema, ready for Google Sheets, Airtable, or CRM import.

***

### 🎯 Use Cases

- **B2B Lead Generation:** Build targeted cold-calling or direct mail lists by scraping specific niches in specific zip codes.
- **Local SEO Analysis:** Identify highly-rated competitors in your local service area.

## 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 = {
    "term": "Plumbers",
    "location": "New York, NY"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("signalqub/my-actor-6").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}`);

}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("signalqub/my-actor-6").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}")

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "term": "Plumbers",
  "location": "New York, NY"
}' |
apify call signalqub/my-actor-6 --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,signalqub/my-actor-6"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
