## 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

## Kompass B2B Contact Scraper

Extract company contact data from [nl.kompass.com](https://nl.kompass.com) — the largest B2B business directory in the Netherlands and Belgium. Search by keyword, sector, or company name and collect structured contact information at scale.

### What it does

This Actor crawls Kompass search results and extracts the following data for each company:

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `companyName` | Official company name |
| `url` | Kompass profile URL |
| `city` | City |
| `country` | Country (e.g. Nederland, België) |
| `phone` | Phone number |
| `website` | Company website URL |
| `description` | Short company description |
| `sectors` | Products/services the company supplies |

### Input

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `searchQuery` | string | *(empty)* | Keyword, sector, or company name to search for |
| `country` | string | `NL` | ISO country code to filter results (`NL`, `BE`, `DE`, etc.) |
| `maxPages` | integer | `5` | Maximum number of search result pages to scrape |
| `proxyCountryCode` | string | `NL` | Preferred proxy country (requires paid Apify plan) |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "searchQuery": "software",
  "country": "NL",
  "maxPages": 3
}
```

### Output

Results are stored in the **Dataset** tab after each run. Each item represents one company:

```json
{
  "companyName": "Ampco Metal S.A.",
  "url": "https://nl.kompass.com/c/ampco-metal-s-a/nl142595/",
  "city": "Woerden",
  "country": "Nederland",
  "phone": "+31 348 416 706",
  "website": "http://www.ampcometal.com",
  "description": "Al meer dan een eeuw helpen wij de technische problemen van onze klanten op te lossen...",
  "sectors": "Aluminiumbrons, Aluminiumnikkelbrons, Berylliumkopervervanger"
}
```

You can export results as **JSON**, **CSV**, or **Excel** directly from the Apify Console.

### Use cases

- **Sales prospecting** — Build targeted B2B lead lists by sector or region
- **Market research** — Map out competitors and suppliers in a specific industry
- **CRM enrichment** — Add missing contact data to existing company lists
- **Partner sourcing** — Find suppliers or distributors in the Netherlands or Belgium

### Setup & running locally

#### Requirements

- Python 3.10+
- [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli)

#### Installation

```bash
git clone https://github.com/LuukZout/luzodi.git
cd luzodi
python -m venv .venv
.venv\Scripts\activate        # Windows
pip install -r requirements.txt
playwright install chromium
```

#### Run locally

Edit `storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json` to set your search parameters, then:

```bash
apify run
```

> **Note:** Running locally without a proxy will likely result in 403 blocks from Kompass. Deploy to Apify for reliable results using their proxy network.

#### Deploy to Apify

```bash
apify login
apify push
```

Then start a run from the [Apify Console](https://console.apify.com).

### Notes

- Kompass uses bot detection (Cloudflare). A **residential proxy** is recommended for reliable scraping — available on the Apify Personal plan or via an external proxy provider.
- Email addresses are not included in the output. Kompass loads these via a separate authenticated request after a user interaction.
- Results per page vary between 10–25 companies depending on the search query.
