## 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.

# Actor input Schema

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

📥 Paste Google Play Store URLs (e.g. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.example.app) or raw app IDs (e.g. com.example.app).

💡 Tip: any value that doesn't look like a URL/app ID will be treated as a search keyword automatically.

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

🧲 Keywords to discover matching apps on Google Play (e.g. 'marketing', 'fitness', 'crypto').

📦 Each keyword returns up to '🎯 Maximum Results per Keyword' apps.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

📊 How many apps to scrape per keyword (1-100). Lower = faster & cheaper, higher = more leads.

## `customDomains` (type: `array`):

🎚️ Keep only emails matching these domains (e.g. \['@gmail.com', '@company.com']).

✅ Leave empty to extract ALL emails — no filtering applied.

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

🗺️ ISO country code for region-specific results (e.g. 'us', 'gb', 'au', 'in', 'de').

🟢 Leave empty to use Google's default location.

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

🔖 The 'network' value written into each output row (e.g. 'Google Play'). Useful when merging this dataset with scrapers from other platforms.

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

🚦 Choose how the actor fetches pages.

💰 Cost-Effective (New) — recommended for most users.
🏛️ Legacy — fallback if you hit issues with the new engine.

## `language` (type: `string`):

🌐 Page language for Google Play (affects descriptions and contact-info formatting).

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

🔐 Pick your proxy strategy. The actor auto-falls-back: 🟢 no proxy → 🏢 datacenter → 🏠 residential whenever requests are blocked.

💡 Tip: enable Apify Proxy with the RESIDENTIAL group for the highest success rate.
