## 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.

### Who is it for

| Use case | Who benefits |
|---|---|
| Lead generation | Agencies and B2B teams building lists of local service businesses |
| Market research | Analysts sizing categories and comparing ratings by area |
| Recruitment and partnerships | Teams sourcing vetted professionals in a trade |
| Directories | Builders populating their own local services listings |

### How to use it

1. Add one or more **Services** (for example `Electricians`, `Plumbers`, `Dog Training`).
2. Optionally add **Locations** (for example `London`, `Manchester`). Each service is searched in each location.
3. Pick the **Country** and set **Max Professionals To Scrape**, then run. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull it through the Apify API.

### Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I target a specific trade and town?**
Enter the trade under Services and the town or county under Locations. You can list several of each and one run covers every combination.

**Is the phone number always included?**
No. A phone number is captured only when the professional shows it publicly on their profile, so this field can be empty.

**Can I search outside the UK?**
Yes. Use the Country selector to switch to the United States, Canada, Australia and other supported Bark sites.

**Will I be charged for empty runs?**
No. Only real professional records are billed. If a search returns nothing, you pay nothing.

### Export, API and AI agents (x402 + MCP)

Export the scraped data to **JSON, CSV or Excel**, pull it as a **dataset** through the Apify **API**, or wire it into your app with **no code**. This web scraper and data extractor also works for bulk data extraction and scheduled runs.

For AI agents: this Actor is available on **x402**, Apify's agentic payment standard built with Coinbase. An AI agent can discover, pay for and run it on its own with a funded wallet and a single HTTP request: no account, no subscription, no API key and no human in the loop. It also runs as an **MCP** tool inside Claude, Cursor and other AI clients out of the box. Learn more about [x402 agentic payments on Apify](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/x402).
