## 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

### The Vendry Venue & Vendor Scraper

*(scrapes event venues and vendors from **The Vendry**)*

#### Example URLs

- <https://thevendry.com/venues/search/usa/ny/new-york> — venues in New York City
- <https://thevendry.com/venues/search/usa/ca/los-angeles> — venues in Los Angeles
- <https://thevendry.com/vendors/search/usa/il/chicago> — vendors in Chicago
- <https://thevendry.com/venues/search/usa/tx/austin> — venues in Austin

**Tip:** the URL is just `/venues/search/<country>/<state>/<city>` (or `/vendors/...`). Copy a city search straight from your browser — that's all the input it needs.

Paste one or more city search URLs and the scraper returns every venue or vendor for that city as structured **JSON, CSV, or Excel** — with full address, geo coordinates, capacities, square footage, contact details, and more.

- **totalEventSpaceSquareFeet** - total event space
- **maxSeatedCapacity / maxStandingCapacity** - capacity limits
- **meetingRoomCount / guestRoomCount** - rooms (hotels/venues)
- **yearBuilt / yearRenovated / brandName** - building details
- **spaceCount / spaces\[]** - per-room breakdown (name, seating, standing, square feet)
- **pricingDetails / yearEstablished** - when published
- **claimed / acceptingInquiries** - listing status
- **womenOwned / veteranOwned / lgbtqOwned / blackOwned / asianOwned / latinoOwned** - ownership & diversity flags
- **googlePlaceId / yelpId** - cross-reference IDs

#### Typical use cases

- **Event planning** - build a shortlist of venues by city, capacity, and type.
- **Lead generation** - reach out to venues and vendors with published contact details.
- **Market research** - analyze venue density, capacities, and pricing across cities.
- **CRM enrichment** - match businesses by Google Place ID / Yelp ID and fill in address, geo, and capacity.

#### Quick start

1. Paste one or more The Vendry city search URLs into **startUrls**.
2. Optionally set **maxResultsPerListing** (default 100; use `0` for every result in the city).
3. Click **Start**.
4. Download your data in JSON, CSV, or Excel format.

#### FAQ

**Do I need the exact URL format?**
Just copy a city search from thevendry.com — `/venues/search/<country>/<state>/<city>` for venues or `/vendors/...` for vendors. Both work.

**How many results can I get per city?**
As many as the city has — the scraper returns the full set, not just the first page you see on the site. Use `maxResultsPerListing: 0` to collect them all.

**Does every business have an email?**
No. The scraper returns the email a business has published on The Vendry; some listings (often large hotel chains) don't expose one. Website, phone, address, and capacity fill at much higher rates.

**How can you contact me?**
<southdionysus@gmail.com> or open an issue on Apify interface.
