## 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.

### 💻 Integrations

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN")

run = client.actor("silentflow/europages-deep-dive-extractor").call(run_input={
    "keyword": "packaging",
    "maxItems": 100,
    "language": "fr",
    "country": "FR",
    "deepDive": True,

    keyword: 'packaging',
    maxItems: 100,
    language: 'fr',
    country: 'FR',
    deepDive: true,

### 📈 Performance & limits

| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| Speed | ~3-5 seconds per company (with deep dive) |
| Success rate | 95-100% |
| VAT extraction | 60-75% of companies |
| Email extraction | 50-60% of companies |
| Manager extraction | 25-35% of companies |
| Avg quality score | 50-60% |
| Max items | 1000 per run |

Results vary by industry and country. Manufacturing sectors typically have more complete profiles.

### 💡 Tips for best results

1. **Start with deep dive enabled**: It provides much richer data (VAT, managers, financials)
2. **Use matching language and country**: Search `language: "fr"` with `country: "FR"` for French companies on the French site
3. **Try broad keywords first**: "packaging" returns more results than "biodegradable food packaging containers"
4. **Use the country filter**: Europages returns companies from all countries by default, set `country` to focus on a specific market
5. **Check the quality score**: Higher `data_quality_score` means more complete profiles

### ❓ FAQ

**How long does it take?**
With deep dive enabled, expect ~3-5 seconds per company. 100 companies typically complete in 4-5 minutes.

**Why are some fields empty?**
Not all companies have complete profiles on Europages. The `data_quality_score` helps you identify the most complete records.

**What's the difference between `language` and `country`?**
`language` sets which Europages site to search (e.g., europages.fr, europages.de). `country` filters results to only show companies headquartered in a specific country. You can search the French site but filter for German companies.

**How does email extraction work?**
The scraper visits company websites (homepage, legal pages) to find contact emails. It also generates email patterns from manager names (e.g., firstname.lastname@company.com).

**Can I filter by certification?**
Include certifications in your keyword (e.g., "ISO 9001 manufacturer") or filter results by the `certifications` field after extraction.

**What countries are supported?**
All 28+ Europages website domains (via `language`) and 50+ country filters including all EU members, UK, Norway, Switzerland, Turkey, and major world economies.
