## 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.

### IndiaMART Supplier Scraper

**Scrape IndiaMART suppliers by product category, up to a million per run.** Every supplier comes with company name, location, rating, and verification status. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

IndiaMART's official API needs a registered account and rate-limits you. This reads the public supplier listings directly, filtered by city, verification status, and minimum rating, and returns each match in one fixed schema.

| Who uses it | What they scrape IndiaMART for |
|---|---|
| B2B sales teams | Build a lead list of verified suppliers in a target city |
| Market researchers | Map the supplier landscape for a product category |
| Procurement managers | Shortlist suppliers by rating and verification status |
| Data analysts | Collect supplier data for trend analysis |

### What it does

This Actor collects IndiaMART supplier listings by product category and returns each one as a flat row.

- 📋 **Category selector:** choose from 150+ product categories, from stainless steel to yoga wear.
- 📍 **City filter:** restrict results to a single city like Mumbai or Delhi.
- ✅ **Verified exporters only:** return only suppliers with a verified badge.
- ⭐ **Minimum rating:** set a threshold from 1 to 5 stars.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

### Run it

1. [Create a free Apify account with $5 in credit](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=vmoqkp).
2. Open the [IndiaMART Supplier Scraper](https://apify.com/parseforge/indiamart-scraper?fpr=vmoqkp).
3. Set your inputs and any filters, then click **Start**.
4. Export the results as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML from the **Dataset** tab.

### Use with AI agents (MCP)

Give an AI agent live access to IndiaMART through the Model Context Protocol. Add the Actor to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=parseforge/indiamart-scraper"
```

Then prompt it in plain language to run the scraper and read back the results.

### Troubleshooting

**Why am I getting no results?**

Your filters may be too restrictive. Try removing the city filter, lowering the minimum rating, or unchecking verified exporters only.

**Why is the run slow?**

IndiaMART may rate-limit requests. Reduce maxItems or add a delay between requests if the Actor supports it.

**Why are some fields empty?**

Not all suppliers fill every field on IndiaMART. Empty fields are normal and reflect missing data on the source page.

**Why did I get blocked?**

IndiaMART may block aggressive scraping. Use a lower maxItems, run less frequently, or use Apify proxies if available.
