## 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.

| `rating` | number | null | `4.8` |
| `reviewCount` | integer | null | `173` |
| `minProjectSize` | string | null | `"$10,000+"` |

#### Extra fields with **Full profile** mode (`scrapeProfileDetails: true`)

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `bio` | string | Full agency description |
| `founded` | string | e.g. `"Founded 2013"` |
| `telephone` | string | Phone from the profile |
| `address` | object | street, locality, region, country, postalCode |
| `serviceFocus` | array | `[{ service, percentage }]` — e.g. SEO 40% |
| `serviceLines` | array | Detailed service breakdown |
| `chartPie` | object | Tech, industry & client-size breakdowns |
| `socialMediaLinks` | array | `[{ type, url }]` (LinkedIn, Facebook…) |
| `reviews` | array | `[{ title, comments, rating, reviewer, datePublished }]` |
| `reviewsOnPage` | integer | How many reviews captured (first page only) |

***

### 🔎 Two modes

- **Directory (default):** name, rating, reviewCount, hourlyRate, minProjectSize, employeeCount, location, website, clutchUrl. One request per results page.
- **Full profile (`scrapeProfileDetails: true`):** visits each agency profile for the rich object — `bio`, `serviceFocus` (%), `serviceLines`, `chartPie` (tech/industry/client breakdowns), `reviews[]`, `socialMediaLinks`, `address`, `founded`, `telephone`. **+1 request per agency** (slower, more bandwidth).

> `reviewCount` is the agency's total (e.g. 173); `reviewsOnPage` is how many full review objects were captured from the profile page (Clutch embeds only the first page of reviews).

### 💡 Proxy (required — Clutch blocks data-center IPs)

- **Default:** Apify residential — works out of the box.
- **For best reliability:** add your own residential / web-unblocker proxy in the Proxy setting.

Tip: use `maxItems` / `maxPagesPerCategory` to control cost.

### ⚖️ Compliance & Responsible Use

Collects **publicly listed business** directory data only. You are responsible for lawful use, anti-spam compliance for outreach, and respecting Clutch.co's Terms of Service and `robots.txt`.

# Actor input Schema

## `categories` (type: `array`):

Clutch category slugs, e.g. 'digital-marketing', 'seo', 'web-developers', 'app-developers'. From the URL: clutch.co/agencies/{slug}.

## `location` (type: `string`):

Optional location slug, e.g. 'united-states', 'india', 'new-york'. Appended as clutch.co/agencies/{category}/{location}.

## `maxPagesPerCategory` (type: `integer`):

Directory pages per category.

## `scrapeProfileDetails` (type: `boolean`):

If enabled, visits each agency's profile page for the full object (bio, service focus, locations, reviews, tech/industry charts, social links). Much richer, but +1 request per agency (slower, more residential bandwidth).

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Hard cap on total rows across all categories. 0 = unlimited.

## `debugLog` (type: `boolean`):

Enable DEBUG-level logs (incl. page diagnostics) to troubleshoot blocked or empty categories.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Defaults to Apify US residential proxy — Clutch is Cloudflare-protected and blocks datacenter IPs.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "categories": [
    "digital-marketing"
  ],
  "maxPagesPerCategory": 1,
  "scrapeProfileDetails": false,
