## 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.

## 🚀 CryptoCap: Web3 Funding & VC Deal Flow Scraper

**Turn crypto news into actionable B2B leads.** This Actor is a high-performance, lightweight scraper designed for Web3 sales teams, VC analysts, and startup founders who need structured data on the latest capital raises in the blockchain space.

### 🌟 Why use CryptoCap?

In the fast-moving crypto world, a funding announcement is the #1 signal that a company is ready to scale. Stop manual tracking and automate your lead pipeline:

- **Market Research**: Identify industry trends and competitive investment patterns without reading through hundreds of articles.

***

### 🛠️ Features

- **✅ Deep Archive Access**: Built-in pagination logic allows you to crawl through pages of history.
- **✅ Lightweight & Stealthy**: Uses optimized **Cheerio** logic and browser-fingerprinting to run 10x cheaper than browser-based scrapers while avoiding 403 blocks.
