## 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.

#### 🔧 How It Works — Under the Hood

```
Step 1 → Search Google Maps using your term + location
Step 2 → Collect business listings (name, address, phone, website)

Step 4 → Extract public emails, phone numbers, and social media links
Step 5 → Deduplicate and normalize all contact data
Step 6 → Return structured results ready for export or API consumption
```

The actor is built to function as a discovery engine and an extraction engine — effectively a nephrologists email scraper, a nephrologists lead scraper, and a nephrologists email finder in one automated pipeline.

#### ✨ Key Features

##### 🎯 Precise Location Targeting

Pinpoint nephrology practices by city, metro, or region. Get hyper-local nephrologists leads in your exact target areas for better campaign relevance.

##### 🔍 Deep Website Crawl

Goes beyond the Google listing. Crawls homepages, contact pages, about pages, and footers to surface every available public nephrologists email and phone number. Use it as a dependable nephrologists email extractor when contact info isn’t obvious.

##### 🌎 Multi-Location Scaling

Run across dozens of cities at once. Choose a combined cap or a per-location cap — perfect for building a large, multi-market nephrologists list in days, not weeks.

##### 🧹 Smart De-Duplication

Automatically removes duplicate emails per domain so your data stays clean and accurate — no messy cleanup after export.

##### 📊 Structured, CRM-Ready Output

Normalized fields with consistent naming make it easy to drop results into HubSpot, Salesforce, Apollo, Instantly, or your pipelines. Use the output as a nephrologists data scraper feed for dashboards or automations.

##### 🛡️ Proxy-Ready for Reliability

Built-in proxy support enables stable, large-scale runs without rate-limiting or IP blocks — ideal when scaling the nephrologists email scraper for multi-market campaigns.

##### ⏱️ Stop at Your Target

The actor halts as soon as your maxBusinesses limit is reached — no wasted compute, no overage.

##### 🔄 Schedulable & Repeatable

Run it daily, weekly, or monthly to continually refresh your nephrologists leads with newly discovered contacts.

##### 🔗 Contact Discovery You Can Trust

Operate it as a nephrologists contact scraper to find general inboxes and practice emails, or as a nephrologists contact finder to fill in missing contact channels across your CRM.

***

#### 🎯 Use Cases

##### 💼 B2B Outreach & Sales

Prospect independent nephrology practices, dialysis centers, and hospital-affiliated clinics. Use this as your nephrologists lead scraper to fill cold email sequences with qualified nephrologists leads.

##### 🧑‍⚕️ Healthcare Staffing & Recruiting

Identify clinics hiring locums or permanent staff. The nephrologists lead finder surfaces contacts you can’t reliably find on job boards.

##### 📣 Local & Regional Marketing

Create geo-targeted campaigns using verified practice emails and phones collected by a repeatable nephrologists contact scraper workflow.

##### 🤝 Partnership & Referral Development

Build referral pathways with complementary specialties (cardiology, endocrinology, internal medicine). Use the nephrologists contact finder to expand local networks.

##### 🗃️ CRM Enrichment

Append missing contact fields to existing records with a dependable nephrologists email finder, including additional phones and social profiles.

##### 🏢 Agency Client Delivery

Deliver fresh contact lists to clients each week using the nephrologists email extractor — predictable, scalable, and export-ready.

***

#### 📈 How Many Results Can You Get?

Scale from a small prospect list to a robust regional database — results depend on:

- Number of locations added
- Breadth of your search term (niche vs. broad)
- Website density and email visibility in each market
- maxBusinesses setting and per-location vs. combined mode
- Proxy configuration and run timeout

##### Typical Output Ranges

| Campaign Size | Businesses with Emails |
|---|---|
| Small (1–3 cities) | 20 – 100 |
| Medium (5–15 cities) | 200 – 600 |
| Large (20+ cities / states) | 800 – 1,000+ per run |

Run multiple campaigns across different regions to continuously grow your nephrologists list without hitting hard platform limits.

***

#### 🔌 Integrations & Export Options

Once your run completes, you can:

| Option | Details |
|---|---|
| JSON | Full structured data download |
| CSV / Excel | Import directly into spreadsheets |
| Apify API | Stream results into your own apps or workflows |
| Zapier / Make | Trigger automations when new leads are found |
| Webhooks | Push results to your CRM or pipeline on run completion |

#### ❓ Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: Does this scrape private or personal emails?**\
No. The actor only extracts emails that are publicly visible on business websites — practice inboxes, admin contacts, and general inquiry addresses.

**Q: Can I search multiple cities in one run?**\
Yes. Add as many locations as needed. Use per-location capping for even geographic distribution.

**Q: Does it deduplicate results?**\
Yes. Emails are deduplicated per domain to keep your nephrologists leads accurate and clean.

**Q: Can I schedule recurring runs?**\
Absolutely. Use Apify’s built-in scheduler to run weekly or monthly and keep your nephrologists leads fresh.

**Q: What search terms work best?**\
Try "nephrology clinic", "kidney specialist", "dialysis center", or "renal care". Broader terms yield more results; niche terms improve relevance.

**Q: Are proxies required?**\
Not for small tests, but strongly recommended for 200+ business runs to avoid rate limits.

**Q: How is this different from manual Google searching?**\
Manual search is slow and inconsistent. This workflow automates discovery and contact extraction — operating as a nephrologists contact scraper and nephrologists email extractor at scale.

Yes. Run it on behalf of clients and deliver fresh contact data on a recurring basis.

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
