## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Clutch.co Scraper — Agencies, Rates, Ratings & Contacts

Scrape **Clutch.co**, the largest B2B agency directory (97,000+ web developers alone), into structured lead data. You get **website, phone, full address, hourly rate, minimum project size, team size, rating, review count, verification tier, and service mix with percentages**. Optional profile details add founded year, languages, timezones, office locations, industries served, client-size mix, and focus areas.

Built for **agency outreach, vendor sourcing, M\&A screening, and competitive research**, with filters that do the qualification for you.

> **Trial cost:** 25 agencies ≈ **$0.05** list-only · **+$0.05** with full profiles (`includeDetails`).

### What you get

| Field | Example |
|-------|---------|
| `name`, `website`, `websiteDomain`, `profileUrl` | ambiscale · ambiscale.com · clutch.co/profile/ambiscale |
| `phone`, `streetAddress`, `city`, `region`, `countryCode`, `postalCode` | +48519398899 · Wrocław · PL |
| `rating`, `reviewsCount`, `verification` | 4.9 · 54 · Premier Verified |
| `hourlyRate`, `hourlyRateMin`, `hourlyRateMax` | $50 - $99 / hr · 50 · 99 |
| `minProjectSize`, `minProjectSizeUsd` | $5,000+ · 5000 |
| `employees`, `employeesMin`, `employeesMax` | 10 - 49 · 10 · 49 |
| `services` | `[{ "name": "Web Development", "percent": 65 }, …]` |
| `listingType`, `sponsored`, `position` | directory · false · 116 |
| **Details:** `tagline`, `summary`, `foundedYear` | "WordPress and Web Apps to boost your business" · 2015 |
| **Details:** `languages`, `timezones`, `officeLocations` | English, Polish… · CET, EST… · Wrocław, Montréal |
| **Details:** `industries`, `clientFocus`, `focusAreas` | Medical 15% · Midmarket 40% · WordPress CMS… |

Numbers are parsed into min/max fields, so you can sort and filter in a spreadsheet without cleanup.

### Why this scraper

- 🎯 **Qualification filters** — hourly rate band, your budget against their minimum project size, team size, min/max reviews, min rating, verified only, locations include/exclude, industries.
- 🧪 **Service focus %** — "companies where SEO is at least 50% of the work" finds real specialists, not generalists who tick every box.
- 💸 **Sponsor awareness** — every record says whether the company buys Clutch sponsor slots (a strong signal of marketing budget). Include or exclude them.
- 🔔 **Monitoring mode** — schedule runs and receive only companies you haven't seen before.
- ⚡ **Fast and cheap** — about 80 companies per page request. Card filters run before profile visits, so you only pay for details on companies that qualify.
- 🛡️ **Handles Cloudflare** — rotates browser fingerprints until one passes, then reuses that session for the whole run.

### Export formats & integrations

#### Export formats

Export your dataset with zero code in whichever format fits your workflow:

- **Excel (.xlsx) & CSV:** Clean tabular sheets formatted for Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice, and CRM imports.
- **JSON & JSONL:** Structured records for developers, backend pipelines, and AI agent prompt context.
- **XML & HTML:** Formatted for web dashboards, feed syndication, and reporting.

#### No-code automations & integrations

- **Google Sheets & Airtable:** Automatically push new scraped rows into live tracking spreadsheets.
- **Make, Zapier & n8n:** Trigger instant Slack alerts, email digests, or create deals in HubSpot, Salesforce, and Pipedrive.
- **Webhooks & REST API:** Programmatically trigger runs and retrieve results via Apify's REST API, Python SDK, or JavaScript/TypeScript SDK.

### FAQ

**How do I export this data to Excel or CSV?** After the run finishes, click the **Export** button in the Dataset tab to download the complete file in Excel (.xlsx), CSV, JSON, or XML. You can also automate exports directly to Google Sheets via the Integrations tab.
**Why did a run fail at the bot check?** Clutch uses Cloudflare. The actor tries up to `maxWarmupAttempts` browser fingerprints. If your network is heavily blocked, enable Apify Proxy with the RESIDENTIAL group.

**Are emails included?** Clutch doesn't publish emails. You get the website domain and phone. Pair the output with an email-finder for outreach.

## **Can I get reviews?** Not yet. Ask on the actor page if you need review text.
