## 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 | Sales teams building targeted call and email lists by trade and city |
| Market research | Analysts mapping how many providers serve a category or region |
| Local SEO and agencies | Marketers finding businesses that need a website or better listing |
| Data enrichment | Teams appending phone, address and category to existing records |

### How to use it

1. Add one or more **Search Queries** (business types or keywords, e.g. plumber, cafe, accountant).
2. Add one or more **Locations** (New Zealand cities or regions), or leave empty to search nationwide.
3. Set **Max Businesses** and keep **Fetch Full Details** on to include email and the full split address.
4. Run, then export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull the results through the Apify API.

### Frequently Asked Questions

**Do all businesses have an email?**
No. Email is only returned when the business publishes one on its profile. Phone, address and website are available far more often. Keep Fetch Full Details on to capture every published email.

**Can I search several trades and cities in one run?**
Yes. Add multiple queries and multiple locations; every query is run across every location and the results are merged and de-duplicated.

**What if I only need phone numbers quickly?**
Turn Fetch Full Details off. You then get the fast listing-level fields (name, phone, category, website and service area) without opening each profile.

**How fresh is the data?**
Every field is read live at run time, so each record reflects the listing at the moment of the run (see observedAt).

### 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).

# Actor input Schema

## `maxBusinesses` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of businesses to collect across all searches. Optional.

## `fetchDetails` (type: `boolean`):

When on, each business profile is opened to add its email and full split address (street, suburb, city, region, postcode). When off, only the fast listing-level fields (name, phone, category, website, area) are returned.

## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

Business types or keywords to search, one per line (e.g. plumber, cafe, accountant, electrician). Each query runs across the chosen locations.

## `locations` (type: `array`):

New Zealand cities or regions to search, one per line (e.g. Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch). Leave empty to search nationwide.

## `enrichContacts` (type: `boolean`):

Optional paid add-on, off by default. For each result without an email, attempt to find a public business contact email and a contact person's name. Billed per attempt, plus an extra charge only when an email is found.

## `enrichContactsMax` (type: `integer`):

Cap how many results the add-on tries to enrich, to control add-on cost. Leave empty to attempt all. Free Apify accounts are capped at 3.
