## 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

## Hero LinkedIn Evidence Analyzer — Analyze Supplied LinkedIn/Post Evidence

Hero LinkedIn Evidence Analyzer reviews supplied LinkedIn or social evidence and turns it into structured customer-story intelligence.

### What it does

Paste a LinkedIn post, profile text, company-page excerpt, or exported social evidence. The Actor extracts thought-leadership signals, customer-proof angles, transformation themes, persona relevance, and recommended content/story actions.

### Important disclosure

This Actor is an evidence analyzer, not a live LinkedIn scraper. Provide the text or exported evidence you are allowed to analyze.

### Best for

- Founders and executives analyzing their thought leadership
- Customer marketing teams extracting story signals
- Sales leaders turning social proof into outreach angles
- Agencies reviewing executive/company social evidence

### Example input

```json
{
  "companyName": "Freshworks",
  "linkedinUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/freshworks-inc/",
  "evidenceText": "Freshworks customer teams share stories about faster support resolution and measurable CX outcomes.",
  "analysisType": "all"
}
```

### Output

Rows include `recordType`, `companyName`, `sourceType`, `title`, `snippet`, `heroScore`, `confidence`, `persona`, `heartDimensions`, `status`, and `recommendation`.

### Limitations

Quality depends on the evidence supplied. The Actor does not claim to bypass LinkedIn restrictions or scrape private/social pages directly.

# 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 = {
    "companyName": "Freshworks",
    "evidenceText": "CEO shared a customer success story about reducing support resolution time by 40% and improving customer satisfaction."
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("shashghosh/hero-linkedin-analyzer").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 = {
    "companyName": "Freshworks",
    "evidenceText": "CEO shared a customer success story about reducing support resolution time by 40% and improving customer satisfaction.",
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("shashghosh/hero-linkedin-analyzer").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 '{
  "companyName": "Freshworks",
  "evidenceText": "CEO shared a customer success story about reducing support resolution time by 40% and improving customer satisfaction."
}' |
apify call shashghosh/hero-linkedin-analyzer --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,shashghosh/hero-linkedin-analyzer"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
