## 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.

# README

## Security Industry Association Member Directory Actor

Scrapes public company records from the SIA member directory into a structured dataset.

### What it does

- Collects public company names, addresses, websites, and profile URLs from the browse pages.
- Follows public company detail pages to enrich each record with member-since date, company type, description, segments, markets, and logo URL.
- Avoids login pages, cart/account paths, and personal-contact enrichment.

### Use cases

1. Build a security-industry lead list for sales, partnerships, or market research.
2. Track member-company metadata changes over time.
3. Export SIA company metadata into a clean dataset for downstream analysis.

### Input

- `startUrls`: SIA browse, browse-by, or company detail URLs
- `maxItems`: maximum company records to emit
- `maxPages`: maximum browse pages to follow from any listing page
- `delaySeconds`: polite pause between requests

### Output fields

| `company_name` | Public company name |
| `profile_url` | Canonical SIA company profile URL |
| `source_url` | Exact detail page URL fetched for the record |
