## 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.

### Tips

- Clutch.co requires **residential proxies** — the default config uses Apify's RESIDENTIAL group. Do not disable this.
- Use **listing mode** (`scrapeProfiles: false`) for quick scans — name, rating, location, hourly rate.
- Use **profile mode** for the richest data — service percentages, tech stacks, industry focus from embedded chart data.
- Mix listing URLs and profile URLs in a single run — the scraper classifies each URL automatically.
- The scraper deduplicates by slug. Same company in multiple categories = one record.
- Use the `type` field to filter output — `"company"` vs `"review"`.
- Increase `requestDelay` to `1000`+ for large runs.

### FAQ

#### How many companies can I scrape?

No hard limit. Set `maxResults` to `0` for all companies in a category. Paginates automatically.

#### Do I need residential proxies?

Yes. Clutch.co uses Cloudflare protection. The default RESIDENTIAL proxy group is included in all Apify plans.

#### What makes this scraper different?

Three-tier extraction (JSON-LD + JavaScript chart data + DOM selectors) captures service line, tech stack, and industry focus percentages that other scrapers miss. Reviews include full Q\&A sections with project budgets and timelines.

#### What if a company profile returns 404?

The scraper logs a warning and moves on. A final summary shows how many succeeded and failed.

#### Can I scrape reviews?

Yes. Enable `getReviews`. Reviews include Q\&A sections (Background, Challenge, Solution, Results), rating breakdowns, project details, and reviewer info.

#### What is listing mode vs profile mode?

**Listing mode** (`scrapeProfiles: false`): ~15 fields per company from category pages. Fast, one request per page.
**Profile mode**: visits each company page to extract 50+ fields including service breakdowns, tech stacks, and industry focus.

### Changelog

- **v0.4** — Pay-per-event pricing (companies only, reviews free). Spending limit support. README rewrite.
- **v0.3** — Three-tier extraction verified at 100% success. Competitor benchmarks.
- **v0.2** — Camoufox anti-detect browser. Three-tier profile extraction (JSON-LD, chart data, DOM). Review extraction rewrite.
- **v0.1** — Initial release. Listing extraction, profile enrichment, review Q\&A sections, circuit breaker.

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Add Clutch.co URLs to scrape. Supports category pages (clutch.co/web-developers), search pages with filters (clutch.co/hr/staffing?client\_budget=5000), and company profiles (clutch.co/profile/company-name). Mix freely.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of company profiles to scrape from listing/category pages. Use 0 for unlimited.

## `scrapeProfiles` (type: `boolean`):

Visit each company's profile page to extract rich data (50+ fields: service breakdowns, tech stacks, industry focus, social links). When disabled, only listing-level data is extracted (faster, fewer fields).

## `getReviews` (type: `boolean`):

Extract client reviews with rating breakdowns, Q\&A sections (Background, Challenge, Solution, Results), project budgets, and timelines. Reviews are saved as separate dataset records linked to the company.

## `maxReviewsPerCompany` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of reviews to extract per company. Only used when 'Extract Reviews' is enabled.

## `startPage` (type: `integer`):

Page number to start scraping from on listing pages. Use for incremental scraping.

## `requestDelay` (type: `integer`):

Delay between HTTP requests in milliseconds. Increase to 1000+ if you experience blocking.

## `proxy` (type: `object`):

Proxy settings. Residential proxies are enabled by default because Clutch.co uses Cloudflare which blocks datacenter IPs.
