## Pricing

Pay per usage

This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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

## B2B Local Business Leads & Email Contact Enricher 🎯📧

Scale your outbound sales pipeline with fresh, verified B2B local business leads. This Actor extracts local business directories by industry and location, then automatically crawls each business's website using **pure HTTP** to extract **public contact emails**, **phone numbers**, **addresses**, and **social media profiles** (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, YouTube).

No slow, heavy headless browsers. No stale databases. Pure speed, low compute cost, and high delivery rates.

***

### ⚡ Why Use This Lead Enricher?

| Feature | Stale Databases (Apollo, ZoomInfo) | Slow Browser Scrapers | **B2B Local Business Enricher** |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Data Freshness** | Months/years old | Real-time | **Real-time from live company websites** |
| **Cost per 1k Leads** | $200 – $500 | $15 – $30 | **$2.00 / 1,000 enriched leads** |
| **Execution Speed** | API snapshot | Heavy / Slow (Chromium) | **Fast pure HTTP concurrent requests** |
| **Email Quality** | Often obsolete / bounces | Partial | **Cleaned & filtered (no dummy/asset false positives)** |
| **Social Profiles** | Incomplete | Incomplete | **LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube** |

***

### 🌟 Key Features

- **Hyper-Targeted Local Discovery**: Search any business category, trade, or service across any city, state, or country (e.g., `digital marketing agency` in `Austin, TX`, `plumbers` in `Miami, FL`, `accounting firms` in `London, UK`).
- **Deep Website Contact Enrichment**: Visits company homepages and automatically explores `/contact` and `/about` subpages to discover public contact emails.
- **Smart Primary Email Selection**: Ranks candidate emails prioritizing functional business mailboxes (`info@`, `contact@`, `hello@`, `sales@`, `office@`).
- **Advanced False-Positive Filtering**: Automatically excludes image assets (`logo@2x.png`), Sentry telemetry (`@sentry.io`), Wix infrastructure emails, and dummy placeholders.
- **Full Social Footprint**: Captures normalized profile links for LinkedIn (company & personal), Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, and YouTube.
- **Ultra-Lightweight & Concurrent**: Pure HTTP architecture with configurable concurrency (`asyncio.gather` + `Semaphore`). Runs in as little as 256 MB of RAM.
- **Fault-Tolerant Partial Lead Retention**: If a specific business website times out or fails SSL handshake, the base business lead (name, phone, address, website) is retained rather than dropped.
- **Built-in Dry-Run Mode**: Test your integration workflows and downstream automations with realistic mock leads without incurring external network latency.

***

### 💰 Pricing: Pay-Per-Event (PPE)

Pay only for results:

- **$2.00 per 1,000 fully enriched B2B leads** ($0.002 per lead)
- Minimum compute usage (256 MB memory allocation) means near-zero platform compute charges.

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",

        }
    }
}
```

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).
