## 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.

# Actor input Schema

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

A list of keywords to search for.

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

Location to filter search results.

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

Select platform.

## `customDomains` (type: `array`):

List of custom email domains

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

Maximum number of emails to collect. The scraper will stop once this limit is reached. Setting a higher limit allows for more potential results but doesn't guarantee reaching that number. This helps save costs by controlling scraping time.

## `perKeywordMaxContacts` (type: `boolean`):

ON (default): "Max Emails" is a target for EACH keyword, so the scraper keeps going through every keyword instead of stopping as soon as the first one fills up. OFF: "Max Emails" is a single total for the whole run. ⚠️ Heads-up: with this ON the run can collect (and be billed for) Max Emails × number of keywords, and takes proportionally longer.

## `perEmailExtensionMaxContacts` (type: `boolean`):

ON (default): "Max Emails" is a target for EACH custom email domain, so the scraper works through every extension instead of stopping once the first one fills up. OFF: extensions share one budget. ⚠️ Heads-up: with this ON the run can collect (and be billed for) Max Emails × number of email extensions, and takes proportionally longer.

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

Configure proxies for this Actor.

## MCP server setup

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,scraper-mind/pinterest-email-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
