## 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

## YellowPages.pk Lead Extractor

#### # Overview

A high-performance tool built to help you gather accurate business contact details from YellowPages.pk quickly and reliably.

#### # Why This Tool Is Great

- **Smart Navigation:** Instead of relying on buttons that often break, the tool uses a custom-built navigation system to move through search pages automatically.
- **Built for Speed:** It blocks unnecessary images and ads, letting it focus only on the contact info you actually need.
- **Clean Results:** It automatically double-checks the data to make sure you don't get duplicates or empty entries.
- **Crash-Proof:** It refreshes itself during every step to ensure your work doesn't stop halfway through.

#### # Performance & Reliability

- **Speed:** You can pull about 100 leads in roughly 2 minutes.
- **Efficiency:** It runs significantly faster than standard manual methods.

#### # Why the Extraction Process Takes Time

While this tool is highly efficient, you may notice it takes a moment to process. This is because **the tool performs automated "behind-the-scenes" research for every page**. Most directory websites are designed to be difficult for scrapers to read. To get you clean, reliable data, the tool:

- **Deals with broken site structures:** It uses custom logic to fix navigation issues that would normally stop a standard tool.
- **Performs smart-loading:** It dynamically adjusts to the site's behavior to ensure no leads are missed, even when the website is unstable.
- **Quality Commitment:** Think of it as a professional researcher working through a messy library—it takes a little extra time to do the job right, but the end result is a clean, organized list of leads you can actually use.

#### # 🚀 Set It and Forget It

- **Save as Task:** Click "Save as task" in the Apify menu to keep your settings ready for next time.
- **Log Off:** Close your laptop or turn off your computer—the tool runs on Apify’s secure servers, not your machine.
- **Download Later:** Whenever you're ready, just come back to check your list and download the results.

#### # 💡 Pro-Tip for Better Results

The quality of your leads depends on how you search. Use simple, single words for the best matches.

- **✅ Use:** `doctor`, `shoe`, `pharma`
- **❌ Avoid:** `doctors`, `shoes`, `pharmaceuticals`
