## 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

## Google Maps Business Lead Exporter

Build local business lead lists from Google Maps searches with names, categories, ratings, addresses, phones, websites, and map URLs.

Google Maps Business Lead Exporter is built for buyers who need clean, source-backed data they can export into spreadsheets, CRMs, dashboards, alerts, or enrichment workflows. The actor focuses on the business object promised by its name and avoids dumping raw HTML, debug metadata, run timestamps, actor names, or unrelated crawl noise into successful dataset rows.

### Who Uses It

- local lead sellers
- agencies
- sales teams
- franchise researchers

### What It Extracts

- Business Name
- Category
- Rating
- Review Count
- Address
- Phone
- Website
- Google Maps Url

### Input

Use the input fields in the Apify UI to provide the public URLs, keywords, companies, pages, profiles, tickers, topics, or source lists relevant to this actor. Keep the first run small, inspect the dataset, and then raise limits or schedule recurring runs when the rows match your workflow.

### Output You Get

Successful dataset rows are compact and actor-specific. Important fields include:

- `businessName`
- `category`
- `rating`
- `reviewCount`
- `address`
- `phone`
- `website`
- `googleMapsUrl`

Failure rows, when needed, include a short error or warning so you can fix bad inputs or blocked sources. Successful rows do not include unnecessary run metadata such as actor name, started time, finished time, raw input echo, or generic status noise.

### Good Use Cases

- Build focused lead lists or research tables from public sources.
- Monitor changes and signals that matter for sales, SEO, ecommerce, marketing, product, or research workflows.
- Export clean rows to Google Sheets, Airtable, BI tools, CRM systems, or automation pipelines.
- Run small tests before scaling to larger scheduled jobs.

### Reliability Notes

The actor uses guarded limits, request timeouts, retries where useful, and compact output rows. Public websites can change, block traffic, or hide data behind login walls; when that happens, the actor returns useful warnings instead of charging for empty success rows whenever the implementation can avoid it.

# Actor input Schema

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Business types, niches, or services to search for. Add one keyword per line.

## `locations` (type: `array`):

Cities, regions, neighborhoods, or postal areas to search in. Add one location per line.

## `maxResultsPerSearch` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of businesses to save for each keyword and location combination.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

How many keyword/location searches can be processed in parallel. Use 2-3 for stability, up to 6 for faster runs with more memory.

## `language` (type: `string`):

Language code used for Google Maps results and labels.

## `includeSearchMetadata` (type: `boolean`):

Adds searchKeyword and searchLocation to every dataset item.

## `includeSponsoredResults` (type: `boolean`):

Includes Google Maps sponsored listings when they appear in the map results.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "keywords": [
    "dentist",
    "coffee shop"
  ],
  "locations": [
    "New York, USA"
  ],
  "maxResultsPerSearch": 50,
  "maxConcurrency": 3,
  "language": "en",
  "includeSearchMetadata": true,
  "includeSponsoredResults": true
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

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

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "keywords": [
        "dentist",
        "coffee shop"
    ],
    "locations": [
        "New York, USA"
    ],
    "maxResultsPerSearch": 50,
    "maxConcurrency": 3,
    "language": "en"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("glowing_glove/google-maps-lead-finder").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "keywords": [
        "dentist",
        "coffee shop",
    ],
    "locations": ["New York, USA"],
    "maxResultsPerSearch": 50,
    "maxConcurrency": 3,
    "language": "en",
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("glowing_glove/google-maps-lead-finder").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "keywords": [
    "dentist",
    "coffee shop"
  ],
  "locations": [
    "New York, USA"
  ],
  "maxResultsPerSearch": 50,
  "maxConcurrency": 3,
  "language": "en"
}' |
apify call glowing_glove/google-maps-lead-finder --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,glowing_glove/google-maps-lead-finder"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
