## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.md):

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

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

# README

## Codice ATECO 2025 Lookup

Look up Italian ATECO 2025 codes from a free-text business description. Returns the top N matches ranked by fuzzy semantic match against the official ISTAT ATECO 2025 classification (3.257 codes, in force from January 2025).

### What it does

- Takes a list of free-text descriptions (Italian or English) of a business activity
- Returns the top matching ATECO 2025 codes with title, hierarchy level, and confidence score
- Supports filtering by minimum hierarchy level (sections, divisions, groups, classes, subcategories, full categories)
- Bundled offline dataset — fast, deterministic, no API calls

### Use cases

**CRM & onboarding tools** — Auto-classify Italian customer companies during signup with a free-text "what do you do?" field.

**Tax & legal due diligence** — Cross-check declared ATECO codes against actual described activities for compliance reviews.

**Company data enrichment** — Add structured ATECO codes to scraped Italian company datasets.

**Migration ATECO 2007/2022 → 2025** — Re-classify legacy datasets after the April 2025 transition.

### Input

```json
{
  "queries": [
    "sviluppo software gestionale",
    "ristorante con cucina italiana",
    "consulenza fiscale per aziende"
  ],
  "lang": "it",
  "limit": 5,
  "minLevel": 4,
  "minConfidence": 50
}
````

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `queries` | array of strings | — (required) | Activity descriptions to look up |
| `lang` | `it` / `en` / `both` | `it` | Search language |
| `limit` | int (1-20) | 5 | Max matches per query |
| `minLevel` | int (1-6) | 4 | Min hierarchy depth (4 = class, 6 = full code) |
| `minConfidence` | int (0-100) | 50 | Discard matches below this confidence |

### Output

One dataset item per match. Items grouped by query (use `query` field to group client-side).

```json
{
  "query": "sviluppo software gestionale",
  "rank": 1,
  "matchesFound": 3,
  "code": "62.01.00",
  "titleIt": "Produzione di software non connesso all'edizione",
  "titleEn": "Computer programming activities",
  "level": 6,
  "parentCode": "62.01",
  "confidence": 87
}
```

When zero matches exceed the confidence threshold, a `"match": null` placeholder item is returned so callers always see feedback per query.

### Pricing

**Currently FREE** during the launch preview — no per-result charges, no monthly cap. Use it freely while we onboard the Apify monetization review.

When paid pricing rolls out (notice will be posted at least 14 days in advance):

| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| Actor start | $0.01 (one-time per run) |
| Result item | $0.005 (per pushed match) |

**Free tier (post-launch)**: first 100 results/month and 50 starts/month included — enough to evaluate the actor in your CRM workflow at zero cost.

**Future cost examples**:

- 100 lookups (typical onboarding test): ~$0.51
- 1.000 lookups (mid-volume CRM batch): ~$5.01
- 10.000 lookups (large batch enrichment): ~$50.01

You'll always be able to lock in the free tier limits before paid pricing kicks in.
