## 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.

#### ❓ Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

Q: Does it deduplicate results?\
A: Yes. Emails are deduplicated per domain to keep your data clean and reduce bounce rates, whether you use it as an optician email finder or a CRM enrichment tool.

Q: Do I need proxies?\
A: Not for small runs, but proxies are strongly recommended for 200+ business runs to avoid rate limits and ensure stability.

Q: What niches does the search term support?\
A: Any Google Maps-searchable term — try "optician", "optical store", "eyewear shop", "vision center", or "optometrist".

Q: How is this optician email scraper different from manual searching?\
A: Manual search is slow and inconsistent. This automates discovery, crawling, and extraction in minutes with a repeatable pipeline.

Q: Can agencies white-label or resell this?\
A: Absolutely. Use it to deliver recurring optician leads to clients in different markets.

Q: Can it act as an optician email extractor for existing domains?\
A: Yes. If a Google Maps listing reveals a website, the crawler visits it and extracts public emails and phones reliably.
