## 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

## Codice ATECO 2025 Lookup

Look up Italian ATECO 2025 codes from a free-text business description. Returns the top N matches ranked by fuzzy semantic match against the official ISTAT ATECO 2025 classification (3.257 codes, in force from January 2025).

### What it does

- Takes a list of free-text descriptions (Italian or English) of a business activity
- Returns the top matching ATECO 2025 codes with title, hierarchy level, and confidence score
- Supports filtering by minimum hierarchy level (sections, divisions, groups, classes, subcategories, full categories)
- Bundled offline dataset — fast, deterministic, no API calls

### Use cases

**CRM & onboarding tools** — Auto-classify Italian customer companies during signup with a free-text "what do you do?" field.

**Tax & legal due diligence** — Cross-check declared ATECO codes against actual described activities for compliance reviews.

**Company data enrichment** — Add structured ATECO codes to scraped Italian company datasets.

**Migration ATECO 2007/2022 → 2025** — Re-classify legacy datasets after the April 2025 transition.

### Input

```json
{
  "queries": [
    "sviluppo software gestionale",
    "ristorante con cucina italiana",
    "consulenza fiscale per aziende"
  ],
  "lang": "it",
  "limit": 5,
  "minLevel": 4,
  "minConfidence": 50
}
```

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `queries` | array of strings | — (required) | Activity descriptions to look up |
| `lang` | `it` / `en` / `both` | `it` | Search language |
| `limit` | int (1-20) | 5 | Max matches per query |
| `minLevel` | int (1-6) | 4 | Min hierarchy depth (4 = class, 6 = full code) |
| `minConfidence` | int (0-100) | 50 | Discard matches below this confidence |

### Output

One dataset item per match. Items grouped by query (use `query` field to group client-side).

```json
{
  "query": "sviluppo software gestionale",
  "rank": 1,
  "matchesFound": 3,
  "code": "62.01.00",
  "titleIt": "Produzione di software non connesso all'edizione",
  "titleEn": "Computer programming activities",
  "level": 6,
  "parentCode": "62.01",
  "confidence": 87
}
```

When zero matches exceed the confidence threshold, a `"match": null` placeholder item is returned so callers always see feedback per query.

### Pricing

**Currently FREE** during the launch preview — no per-result charges, no monthly cap. Use it freely while we onboard the Apify monetization review.

When paid pricing rolls out (notice will be posted at least 14 days in advance):

| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| Actor start | $0.01 (one-time per run) |
| Result item | $0.005 (per pushed match) |

**Free tier (post-launch)**: first 100 results/month and 50 starts/month included — enough to evaluate the actor in your CRM workflow at zero cost.

**Future cost examples**:

- 100 lookups (typical onboarding test): ~$0.51
- 1.000 lookups (mid-volume CRM batch): ~$5.01
- 10.000 lookups (large batch enrichment): ~$50.01

You'll always be able to lock in the free tier limits before paid pricing kicks in.
