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.

It efficiently gathers data on webinars and other events, providing valuable insights into upcoming activities related to victim support services. ### Features - **Comprehensive Data Extraction**: Captures all relevant event details including titles, URLs, dates, locations, types, and descriptions. - **Customizable Input Parameters**: Allows users to specify target URLs and set item limits for tailored data collection. - **High-Quality Output**: Ensures reliable and structured JSON output for easy integration with other systems. - **User-Friendly Configuration**: Simple setup process with clear input schema and default values. - **Scalable Performance**: Supports large-scale scraping operations with adjustable item limits. ### Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | Example | |-------------|---------|----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `Urls` | array | No | The URLs for the spider to scrape. | `["https://ovc.ojp.gov/events?series_filter=&field_event_type_value=Webinar&state=All"]` | | `item_limit`| integer | No | Maximum items to scrape per actor run. Set to 0 for no limit. | `10` | ### Example Usage #### Input JSON ```json { "Urls": [ "https://ovc.ojp.gov/events?series_filter=&field_event_type_value=Webinar&state=All" ], "item_limit": 10 } ```` #### Output JSON ```json [ { "webinar_title": "When Violence Goes Digital: Understanding Cyber Assault and the New Frontier of Abuse", "event_url": "https://ovc.ojp.gov/events/when-violence-goes-digital-understanding-cyber-assault-and-new-frontier-abuse", "event_date_time": "September 24, 2026, 3:00 pm - 4:15 pm", "location": "Online", "event_type": "Webinar", "event_detail": "As our lives become increasingly connected...", "notes": "This event is hosted by a third party...", "actor_id": "M8mpLBLHysd1CdDu9", "run_id": "E1cYnFwVJgdB9a8tQ" }, { "webinar_title": "Handle with Care: Supporting Children After Trauma", "event_url": "https://ovc.ojp.gov/events/handle-care-supporting-children-after-trauma", "event_date_time": "August 6, 2026, 1:00 pm - 2:15 pm", "location": "Online", "event_type": "Webinar", "event_detail": "Handle With Care (HWC) is a multidisciplinary approach...", "notes": "This event is hosted by a third party...", "actor_id": "M8mpLBLHysd1CdDu9", "run_id": "E1cYnFwVJgdB9a8tQ" } ] ``` ### Use Cases - **Market Research and Analysis**: Gather data on upcoming events for strategic planning. - **Competitive Intelligence**: Monitor competitor activities in the victim support sector. - **Price Monitoring**: Track event-related services or products. - **Content Aggregation**: Compile information for newsletters or reports. - **Academic Research**: Collect data for studies on victim support initiatives. - **Business Automation**: Integrate with CRM systems to automate event tracking. ### Installation and Usage 1. Search for "Ovcojp Discovery Spider" in the Apify Store. 2. Click "Try for free" or "Run". 3. Configure input parameters as needed. 4. Click "Start" to begin extraction. 5. Monitor progress in the log. 6. Export results in your preferred format (JSON, CSV, Excel). ### Output Format The output is a JSON array containing objects with the following fields: - `webinar_title`: Title of the webinar or event. - `event_url`: URL link to the event page. - `event_date_time`: Scheduled date and time for the event. - `location`: Venue of the event (e.g., Online). - `event_type`: Type of event (e.g., Webinar). - `event_detail`: Detailed description of the event. - `notes`: Additional notes about the event. - `actor_id`: Unique identifier for the actor run. - `run_id`: Unique identifier for the specific run. ### Support For custom/simplified outputs or bug reports, please contact: - Email: support@getdataforme.com - Subject line: "custom support" - Contact form: [Contact Us](https://getdataforme.com/contact/) We're here to help you get the most out of this Actor! # Actor input Schema ## `Urls` (type: `array`): The urls for the spider. ## `item_limit` (type: `integer`): Maximum items to scrape per actor run.
