## Pricing

from $0.50 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event and usage. You are charged both the fixed price for specific events and for Apify platform usage.

## 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.

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

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

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

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## TechLeads.fyi Technology Scraper (Apify Actor)

Apify Actor for website technology lookups powered by **techleads.fyi**.

**Any Apify user can run it — no TechLeads `tl_*` API key required.**  
Monetization is **per domain result** via Apify pay-per-event (synthetic `apify-default-dataset-item`).

### Pricing (Console)

| Event | Price (recommended) | Notes |
|-------|---------------------|--------|
| `apify-default-dataset-item` | **$0.50 / 1,000** (= $0.0005 per domain) | Primary — one charge per dataset row |
| `apify-actor-start` | leave default / free | Covers first ~5s compute (recommended) |

**Platform usage:** leave **Pay per event + usage** **OFF** so usage is included in your event price (you absorb compute from your 80% cut).

Do **not** add a custom `domain-lookup` event — that would double-bill with the synthetic dataset event.

### Input

| Field | Required | Description |
|-------|----------|-------------|
| `domains` | yes | Domains or URLs, max 1,000 |
| `batchSize` | no | Domains per backend call (default 100) |
| `maxConcurrency` | no | Parallel batch calls, max 5 (default 5) |

```json
{
  "domains": ["stripe.com", "shopify.com", "vercel.com"]
}
````

### Output

One dataset item per domain (`domain`, `url`, `success`, `techs[]` with `name` / `tag` / `categories`, `scrapedAt`). Failed domains are still pushed (`success: false`) and billed.

### Modes

- **Standard run** — batch lookup from input; one PPE charge per pushed row; summary in KV `OUTPUT`.
- **Standby / live-view** — HTTP API: `GET /health`, `GET /lookup?domain=`, `POST /lookup/batch`, `GET /openapi.json`. Authenticate with your **Apify** token on the Standby URL.

### Backend (operators only)

| Env | Purpose |
|-----|---------|
| `TECHLEADS_API_KEY` | Secret (`@techleadsApiKey`) — admin key for `api.techleads.fyi` |
| `TECHLEADS_AUTH_MODE` | `admin` (X-Admin-API-Key) or `bearer` |
| `TECHLEADS_API_BASE_URL` | Default `https://api.techleads.fyi` |

### Local development

```bash
cd techleads-actor
npm install
export TECHLEADS_API_KEY=...
export TECHLEADS_AUTH_MODE=admin
export TECHLEADS_API_BASE_URL=https://api.techleads.fyi
npm run build
npx apify run
```

### Deploy

```bash
npx apify login
npx apify push
```

Then complete **Publication → Monetization** (steps in Console / see Pricing above).

# Actor input Schema

## `domains` (type: `array`):

Root domains or URLs to look up (max 1,000). Examples: stripe.com, https://shopify.com. Billed per domain via Apify pay-per-event.

## `batchSize` (type: `integer`):

Domains per backend batch call (1–1000). Smaller chunks are more resilient to timeouts.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

How many batch API calls to run in parallel (capped at 5).

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "domains": [
    "stripe.com",
    "shopify.com"
  ],
  "batchSize": 100,
  "maxConcurrency": 5
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

Default dataset items — one row per looked-up domain with detected technologies (name, tag, categories, confidence).

## `runSummary` (type: `string`):

JSON summary written to key-value store key OUTPUT after a standard batch run.

## `openapi` (type: `string`):

OpenAPI 3 document for the Standby / live-view HTTP API.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## 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 = {
    "domains": [
        "stripe.com",
        "shopify.com"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("techleads-fyi/techleads-official-technology-scraper").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}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});
