## 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

## Cradle to Cradle Certified Products Registry Actor

Scrapes the full public [Cradle to Cradle Certified Products Registry](https://c2ccertified.org/certified-products)
— every actively certified product, its holding company, category/subcategory, and the complete
certificate breakdown across all five C2C achievement categories (material health, material
reutilization, renewable energy & carbon management, water & soil stewardship, social fairness).

Pulls directly from the registry's own public GraphQL API (`api.c2ccertified.org/graphql`) — no
browser automation, no login required, sub-second response times.

### Use cases

1. **Sustainable procurement & specification** — architects, interior designers, and materials
   consultants filtering the registry by category (e.g. "Interior Design & Furniture", "Basic
   Materials") to find Gold/Platinum-level products for a project.
2. **ESG / compliance monitoring** — sustainability teams tracking certification level changes,
   expiring certificates (`valid_until`), or newly certified competitor products over time.
3. **Market research** — building-products and consumer-goods companies benchmarking how many
   competitors hold C2C certification, at what level, in a given category.

### Input configuration

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `maxItems` | integer | 200 | Maximum number of certified products to return (registry currently holds ~750 total) |
| `pageSize` | integer | 100 | Products requested per API page |
| `delaySeconds` | number | 20 | Delay before each page request — matches the site's published `robots.txt` `Crawl-delay: 20` |
| `categoryFilter` | string | (none) | Only keep rows whose category/subcategory contains this text (case-insensitive), e.g. `"Interior Design"` |

### Output fields

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| product\_name | string | Product/product-group title |
| company | string | Certificate holder company name |
| category | string | Top-level category |
| subcategory | string | Subcategory |
| product\_url | string | Full permalink to the product's registry page |
| image\_url | string | Product image URL |
| cradle\_to\_cradle\_certified | boolean | Holds full C2C certification |
| material\_health\_certified | boolean | Holds Material Health certification |
| certification\_level | string | Overall certification level (Bronze/Silver/Gold/Platinum) |
| protocol\_version | string | C2C Certified standard/protocol version |
| material\_health\_level | string | Material Health category achievement level |
| material\_reutilization\_level | string | Material Reutilization category achievement level |
| renewable\_energy\_level | string | Renewable Energy & Carbon Management category level |
| water\_stewardship\_level | string | Water & Soil Stewardship category level |
| social\_fairness\_level | string | Social Fairness category level |
| certification\_number | string | Certificate identifier |
| valid\_until | string | Certificate expiration date |
| c2c\_certificate\_url | string | Link to the PDF certificate, where public |
| product\_description | string | Short product description, where public |
| csi\_division | string | CSI MasterFormat division, where applicable (building materials) |

### Pricing

$3 per 1,000 results.

| Results | Estimated cost |

| 500 | $1.50 |
| 1,000 | $3.00 |
| 5,000 | $15.00 |

### Notes

- No proxies or browser automation needed — the registry's own front end is backed by a public,
  unauthenticated GraphQL API.
- The Actor fetches sequentially, one page per request, honoring the site's published
  `Crawl-delay: 20` — a full registry pull (~750 products) takes roughly 3 minutes.

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

const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("tehsnarf/cradle-to-cradle-certified-products").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);
});

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call tehsnarf/cradle-to-cradle-certified-products --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,tehsnarf/cradle-to-cradle-certified-products"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
