## 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.

### ❓ FAQ

#### ❔ Q: I’m not getting many email results. What should I adjust first?

**A:** Try:

- 🔄 Broadening your `keywords` (e.g. `fitness coach` instead of `vegan fitness coach berlin`).
- ⬆️ Increasing `maxLeadsPerKeyword` so the Actor is allowed to save more leads per keyword.
- ➖ Removing or relaxing `emailDomains` so it can match any domain, not just `@gmail.com` / `@yahoo.com` / `@outlook.com`.
- 🌍 Clearing or simplifying `country` if it is too restrictive.

***

#### ❔ Q: Why are there only emails from certain providers?

**A:** When you fill in `emailDomains`, the Actor **biases queries toward those domains** by searching for `@gmail.com`, `@yahoo.com`, etc. If you want a wider variety of providers:

- Leave `emailDomains` empty to allow any domain.
- Or add more domains to the list (e.g. `hotmail.com`, `icloud.com`, custom domains).

***

#### ❔ Q: How do Instagram result types affect the output?

**A:** `instagramResultTypes` controls which Instagram URL shapes appear in `result_url`:

- `profile` – profile URLs.
- `post` – post URLs (`/p/...`).
- `reel` – reels / IGTV URLs.
- `stories` – story URLs.

By default, all are enabled. If you, for example, select only `["profile"]`, the Actor will try to exclude posts/reels/stories via `-inurl:` filters and focus on profile pages.

***

#### ❔ Q: Why is `profile_url` sometimes empty?

**A:** `profile_url` is a **best-effort** normalized profile link:

- First, the Actor tries to read the username from the URL path (e.g. `/thenoahjr/`).
- If that’s not possible (posts/reels), it looks for labels like `Instagram · username` in the Google snippet.

If neither method can safely determine the username, `profile_url` is left `null` to avoid guessing.

***

#### ❔ Q: Does this Actor open Instagram or log in?

**A:** No.
