## 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.
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).

# Actor input Schema
## `search` (type: `array`):
Provide one or more search queries (e.g., 'restaurants in Paris') or Google Maps search URLs. URLs must include the `maps/search` path to be valid.
## `rating` (type: `string`):
Filter out places below a specific average rating. For example, selecting '4.0 and up' will only include places rated 4.0 or higher. Select 'All' to disable rating filtering.
## `search_limit` (type: `integer`):
Maximum number of search result pages to process per query or URL. Each page typically contains up to 40 places.
## `search_location` (type: `string`):
Specify a location to search within, such as a city name (e.g., 'Paris', 'Berlin', 'New York'). Useful for general queries like 'restaurants' without geographic context.
## `search_coordination` (type: `string`):
Specify a geographic coordinate in the format ',' (e.g., '2.3522,48.8566' for Paris). This allows for precise location targeting when used with general queries.
## Actor input object example
```json
{
"search": [
"restaurants"
],
"rating": "0.0",
"search_limit": 1,
"search_location": "",
"search_coordination": ""
}

const input = {
"search": [
"restaurants"
]
};
// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("web_wanderer/google-business-search-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();
