## 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).

# Actor input Schema

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

🎯 The words that power your lead search! Add one or more keywords (e.g. \['cooking channel', 'tech reviewer', 'fitness influencer']) and the actor finds public YouTube channels/videos matching them, then 📧 extracts any email addresses it finds — often from a channel's "About" tab. 💡 Tip: niche creator keywords tend to outperform broad generic terms.

## `platform` (type: `string`):

📱 The social network to mine for leads. Currently locked to YouTube — more platforms coming soon! 🚀

## `location` (type: `string`):

🗺️ Optional geo-targeting! Add a city or region (e.g. 'London' 🇬🇧, 'New York' 🗽, 'Dubai' 🏙️) to narrow leads down to channels/videos mentioning that place. ✨ Leave empty to search the whole globe 🌍.

## `emailDomains` (type: `array`):

🎛️ Keep only leads whose email is on the domains you care about — type as many as you like! ✍️ Popular picks: 📮 @gmail.com · 📨 @outlook.com · 💌 @hotmail.com · 💜 @yahoo.com · ☁️ @icloud.com · 📬 @aol.com · 🔒 @protonmail.com · 📥 @live.com · 📧 @gmx.com · 🟡 @yandex.com · 📗 @zoho.com. 🏢 Custom/business domains work too — e.g. @yourcompany.com. 🕳️ Leave empty to collect leads from ALL domains. 💡 Adding a domain also sharpens the search 🎯.

## `maxEmails` (type: `integer`):

🎚️ How many leads (emails) to collect per keyword before moving on. ⚡ Higher = more leads but longer runs. Default is 20 ✅ (range 1 – 5,000).

## `engine` (type: `string`):

🔧 The processing engine. Currently 'legacy' 🛡️ — a reliable, battle-tested extraction pipeline. More engines on the roadmap! 🚧

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

🌐 Control how the actor connects to Google. 🆓 Leave it empty and the actor auto-selects the GOOGLE\_SERP proxy group for reliable, low-block-rate querying. 🔄 On any failed or blocked response it automatically rotates to a fresh proxy URL and retries up to 3×. 🧠 Advanced users can plug in their own proxy groups or external URLs here instead.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "keywords": [
    "tech reviewer"
  ],
  "platform": "Youtube",
  "location": "",
  "emailDomains": [
    "@gmail.com"
  ],
  "maxEmails": 20,
  "engine": "legacy",
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
