## 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

## App Store Developer Email Finder & Leads Scraper

Find iOS app developer leads from App Store keywords, then enrich developer websites with public business emails, social links, tech signals, and outreach scores.

This Actor is useful for B2B teams selling to mobile app companies: analytics tools, localization services, review intelligence, ASO, monetization, payments, SDKs, and agency services.

### Fast start

Start with a small App Store keyword search:

```json
{
  "searchTerms": ["notion", "shopify"],
  "country": "us",
  "maxAppsPerTerm": 3,
  "maxDeveloperSites": 5,
  "enrichDeveloperWebsites": true,
  "includePersonalEmails": false,
  "requireBusinessEmail": false,
  "minLeadScore": 35
}
````

### Example output

Each saved row connects App Store traction to developer contact signals:

```json
{
  "appName": "Example App",
  "developerName": "Example Developer",
  "appStoreUrl": "https://apps.apple.com/app/example/id123",
  "developerWebsite": "https://example.com",
  "emails": ["support@example.com"],
  "rating": 4.7,
  "reviewCount": 1200,
  "leadScore": 64,
  "suggestedAngles": ["ASO audit", "Review intelligence outreach"]
}
```

### What it extracts

- App name, developer name, App Store URL, genres, rating, review count, version, and price
- Developer website from the public iTunes Search API
- Public business emails from the developer website
- Public social profiles
- Website tech signals such as analytics, HubSpot, Intercom, WordPress, and Shopify
- Lead score and outreach angles

### Why this niche

App developers are clear B2B buyers: they buy analytics, attribution, localization, user support, growth, monetization, QA, and review tools. This Actor turns App Store searches into structured prospect lists without requiring App Store login or social accounts.

### Pricing

Suggested launch pricing: USD 0.01 per saved app developer lead.

### Local run

```powershell
node .\src\main.js --input .\sample-input.json
```
