## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

# README

## DesignRush Agency Lead Scraper

This Actor collects **agency/company leads** from DesignRush category pages (e.g. web development companies). It visits each company profile and extracts structured data (website, email, rating, services, industries, social links, etc.).

#### What it scrapes

- **Category page** example: `https://www.designrush.com/agency/web-development-companies`

#### Output (Dataset item)

Each dataset item is a JSON object with fields:

- **name**: Company name
- **profileUrl**: DesignRush profile URL
- **website**: Company website (if available)
- **email**: Email extracted from `mailto:` or **JSON-LD** (`application/ld+json`) when present
- **logoUrl**
- **location**
- **hourlyRate**
- **minProjectSize**
- **employees**
- **yearFounded**
- **rating**
- **reviewsCount**
- **services**: Array of services (taken from `#services .profile-services ...`)
- **industries**: Array of industries (taken from `.profile-block.industries ...`)
- **socialLinks**: `{ linkedin, facebook, twitter, instagram }`
- **portfolioCount**
- **scrapedAt**: ISO timestamp

#### Input parameters

All inputs are defined in `.actor/input_schema.json` and visible in Apify UI.

- **startUrls** *(required)*: Category URL(s). For MVP we recommend **exactly one category**.
- **maxItems** *(default: 50, 0 = unlimited)*: Max number of profile pages to process.
- **startPage** *(default: 1)*: Start from this page number (1-based). Useful to resume.
- **maxPages** *(default: 0, 0 = unlimited)*: Max number of category pages to process.
- **requiredFields** *(default: empty)*: Only push leads that have **ALL** selected fields filled.
  - Supported values: `email`, `website`, `linkedin`, `facebook`, `twitter`, `instagram`
- **proxyConfiguration**: Proxy settings (recommended to use Apify Proxy for reliability).

#### Examples

Scrape first 3 pages, maximum 100 profiles:

```json
{
  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.designrush.com/agency/web-development-companies" }],
  "maxItems": 100,
  "startPage": 1,
  "maxPages": 3,
  "requiredFields": ["email", "website"],
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true }
}
````

Resume from page 10 and scrape 5 pages:

```json
{
  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.designrush.com/agency/web-development-companies" }],
  "maxItems": 0,
  "startPage": 10,
  "maxPages": 5,
  "requiredFields": [],
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true }
}
```

#### Notes / troubleshooting

- **Email may be missing** if the profile does not provide it (or does not include JSON-LD with `email`).
- If DesignRush changes markup, update selectors in `src/selectors.ts` and extraction helpers in `src/utils.ts`.

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Category URL(s) to start scraping from. In MVP, use exactly one category URL (e.g., https://www.designrush.com/agency/web-development-companies)

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

Maximum number of company profiles to process. Set to 0 for unlimited.

## `startPage` (type: `integer`):

Page number to start scraping from (1-based). Use this to skip already scraped pages or resume from a specific page.

## `maxPages` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of pages to process (0 = unlimited). The scraper will stop after processing this many pages.

## `requiredFields` (type: `array`):

Only push leads that have ALL selected fields filled. Leave empty to push all leads.

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

Proxy configuration for anti-bot protection. Recommended to use Apify Proxy for best results.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.designrush.com/agency/web-development-companies"
    }
  ],
  "maxItems": 5,
  "startPage": 1,
  "maxPages": 0,
  "requiredFields": [],
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
