## 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

## Market Catalyst Signal Extractor

This actor is for watchlist builders, analysts, sales teams, and founders who need a fast read on public market-moving signals.

It mines public finance and news-result surfaces for catalyst headlines, catalyst types, sentiment hints, and evidence links.

### What it is useful for

- Use it for ticker monitoring, sector research, sales timing, investor-relations prep, or market-alert workflows.
- Building cleaner research exports from messy public web surfaces.
- Prioritizing prospects, pages, communities, or knowledge sources before manual review.
- Feeding structured records into spreadsheets, CRMs, dashboards, or automation workflows.

### Input

Provide one or more values in `marketTopics`.

```json
{
  "marketTopics": [
    "NVDA earnings AI chips",
    "oil price OPEC supply"
  ],
  "maxItems": 8,
  "requestTimeoutSecs": 25,
  "maxConcurrency": 3
}
```

### Output you get

The dataset is intentionally compact and buyer-facing. Important fields include:

- `marketTopic`
- `catalystSignalLevel`
- `catalystThemes`
- `catalystEvents.catalystHeadline`
- `catalystEvents.catalystType`
- `catalystEvents.sentimentHint`
- `catalystEvents.evidenceUrl`

### Practical workflow

1. Start with a small list of searches or URLs.
2. Review the first dataset rows and confirm the signals match your market.
3. Increase the input list for larger research batches.
4. Export the dataset to CSV, JSON, Google Sheets, or your automation pipeline.

### Notes and limitations

- The actor uses public web data and does not bypass login walls, private content, CAPTCHA, or protected dashboards.
- Public search snippets and pages can change, so results should be treated as research signals rather than legal, financial, or valuation advice.
- The output avoids raw HTML and noisy debug fields so buyers can act on the data immediately.

# 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 = {
    "marketTopics": [
        "NVDA earnings AI chips",
        "oil price OPEC supply"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("glowing_glove/market-catalyst-signal-extractor").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 = { "marketTopics": [
        "NVDA earnings AI chips",
        "oil price OPEC supply",
    ] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("glowing_glove/market-catalyst-signal-extractor").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 '{
  "marketTopics": [
    "NVDA earnings AI chips",
    "oil price OPEC supply"
  ]
}' |
apify call glowing_glove/market-catalyst-signal-extractor --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,glowing_glove/market-catalyst-signal-extractor"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
