## 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

## Google Maps Business Lead Finder

Find businesses on Google Maps by niche and location. Extract names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, websites, ratings, and more into clean exportable data.

### How It Works

1. Enter your **niche** (e.g., "roofers", "plumbers", "real estate agents") and **location** (e.g., "Miami, FL")
2. Set max results and optional minimum rating filter
3. The actor searches Google Maps for matching businesses
4. Get a clean dataset with contact info and business details

### Output Fields

- **businessName** - Business name
- **category** - Business category
- **address** - Full street address
- **phone** - Phone number
- **email** - Email address (when available)
- **website** - Business website URL
- **rating** - Google Maps star rating (1-5)
- **reviewCount** - Number of reviews
- **priceRange** - Price level ($, $$, $$$, $$$$)
- **placeId** - Google Maps place ID
- **googleUrl** - Full Google Maps URL
- **coordinates** - Latitude,Longitude

### Tips

- Be specific with your niche: "roofers" works better than "home services"
- Always include a location for targeted results
- Set minRating=4.0 to get only top-rated businesses
- Higher limits (up to 500) give broader coverage
- Pairs well with Instagram/TikTok leads for full outreach lists

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("jostnyc/gmaps-business-leads").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();
items.forEach((item) => {
