## 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).

# Actor input Schema

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

🎯 The words that power your search! Add one or more keywords (e.g. \['developer', 'publisher', 'community manager']) and the actor finds public Steam pages matching them, then 📧 extracts any email addresses it finds. 💡 Tip: more specific keywords = more targeted leads.

## `platform` (type: `string`):

🎮 The site to scrape. Currently locked to Steam — more platforms coming soon! 🚀

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

🗺️ Optional geo-targeting! Add a city or region (e.g. 'London' 🇬🇧, 'New York' 🗽, 'Tokyo' 🗼) to narrow results to pages mentioning that place. ✨ Leave empty to search the whole globe 🌍.

## `emailDomains` (type: `array`):

🎛️ Keep only emails from the domains you care about — type as many as you like! ✍️ Popular picks: 📮 @gmail.com · 📨 @outlook.com · 💌 @hotmail.com · 💜 @yahoo.com · ☁️ @icloud.com · 📬 @aol.com · 🔒 @protonmail.com · 📥 @live.com · 📧 @gmx.com · 🟡 @yandex.com · 📗 @zoho.com. 🏢 Custom/business domains work too — e.g. @yourstudio.com (many Steam developer/publisher contacts use their own studio domain rather than free webmail). 🕳️ Leave empty to collect emails from ALL domains. 💡 Adding a domain also sharpens the search 🎯.

## `maxEmails` (type: `integer`):

🎚️ How many emails to collect per keyword before moving on. ⚡ Higher = more leads but longer runs. Default is 10 ✅ (range 1 – 100,000).

## `engine` (type: `string`):

🔧 The processing engine. Currently 'legacy' 🛡️ — a reliable, battle-tested extraction pipeline. More engines on the roadmap! 🚧

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

🌐 Control how the actor connects to the internet. 🆓 Leave it empty and the actor auto-selects the best proxy for reliable results. 🔄 On any failed response it rotates the connection and retries up to 3× automatically. 🧠 Advanced users can plug in custom proxies here.
