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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Clutch.co Category URLs Get every Clutch.co directory category URL in one run. Outputs 80+ category URLs organized by group with display names — ready to paste into any Clutch.co scraper. ### Pricing | | Per run | |--|---------| | **Price** | ~$4.80 (80 records × $0.06) | | **Usage cost** | ~$0.002 (compute only) | One run covers **all categories**. Run once, copy the URLs into your main scraper. ### Output 80+ categories across 5 groups: | Group | Example | |-------|---------| | Advertising & Marketing | SEO, PPC, Digital Marketing, Branding | | Development | Web Developers, Mobile Apps, AI, eCommerce | | Design & Production | Web Design, UX/UI, Graphic Design | | IT Services | Cybersecurity, Cloud Consulting, Analytics | | Business Services | Call Centers, HR, Accounting, Legal | Each record: `group`, `title`, `url` (full Clutch.co directory link). ### Use Case Find category URLs → paste into Clutch.co company scraper → extract listings. No need to browse Clutch.co manually or guess URLs. # Actor input Schema ## `categories` (type: `array`): Select one or more categories to scrape. ## `categoryUrls` (type: `string`): Additional Clutch.co directory URLs (one per line). Useful if the category you need isn't listed in the dropdown above. Examples: https://clutch.co/web-developers https://clutch.co/developers/artificial-intelligence ## `location` (type: `string`): Filter results by location. Enter a US city (e.g., 'New York City'), US state (e.g., 'Texas'), or country (e.g., 'United Kingdom'). Leave empty for all locations. ## `maxPagesPerCategory` (type: `integer`): Number of pagination pages to scrape per category (each page shows ~50 listings). Set to 0 for unlimited — scrapes all available pages until no more exist. ## `minRating` (type: `number`): Only include companies with at least this star rating (e.g. 4.0, 3.5). Set to 0 to include all. ## `excludeFeatured` (type: `boolean`): Skip promoted/sponsored listings at the top of each page. ## `scrapeEmails` (type: `boolean`): When enabled, visits each company's website to extract email addresses. This significantly increases run time (several seconds per website). ## `pageTimeout` (type: `integer`): Maximum time to wait for each directory page to fully load. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings for the scraper. Apify proxy recommended to avoid IP blocking. ## Actor input object example ```json { "categories": [ "https://clutch.co/web-developers", "https://clutch.co/developers/ecommerce", "https://clutch.co/developers/artificial-intelligence" ], "categoryUrls": "", "location": "", "maxPagesPerCategory": 10, "minRating": 0, "excludeFeatured": false, "scrapeEmails": false, "pageTimeout": 60000, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "BUYPROXIES94952" ] } } ```` # Actor output Schema ## `group` (type: `string`): The group this category belongs to (e.g. Advertising & Marketing, Development, Design & Production, IT Services, Business Services). ## `title` (type: `string`): Display name of the category as shown on Clutch.co. ## `url` (type: `string`): Full URL of the Clutch.co directory page for this category. # 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 '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "categoryUrls": "", "location": "" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("morkerr/clutch-co-scraper").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) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
