## 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

## Signals Collector Web — B2B Public Signal Collector

Signals Collector Web collects public web/search evidence and converts it into structured B2B account-intelligence rows.

### Current status

This Actor is currently best used as a private/backend evidence layer for the Hero Suite. It can later become an Apify-native data product for growth engineers and RevOps teams.

### What it does

For a company or target account, it collects public signals, maps them to HEART/JTBD-style dimensions, estimates persona relevance, and returns structured evidence rows.

### Output

Rows include source URL, title, snippet, score, HEART dimensions, persona, confidence, status, and recommended action.

### Limitations

Search/source availability affects recall. Keep this private until public README, examples, monitoring, and support paths are ready.

# Actor input Schema

## `companyName` (type: `string`):

Prospect company to search for signals

# 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": "HubSpot",
    "companyWebsite": "https://www.hubspot.com/",
    "customQueries": [],
    "maxQueries": 3,
    "maxPagesPerQuery": 1,
    "maxKept": 3,
    "minHeroScore": 3,
    "includeEmployerSignals": false,
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "region": "india",
    "includeEmptyResults": true,
    "testMode": false
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("shashghosh/signals-collector-web").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": "HubSpot",
    "companyWebsite": "https://www.hubspot.com/",

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "companyName": "HubSpot",
  "companyWebsite": "https://www.hubspot.com/",
  "customQueries": [],
  "maxQueries": 3,
  "maxPagesPerQuery": 1,
  "maxKept": 3,

  "includeEmployerSignals": false,
  "useApifyProxy": true,
  "region": "india",
  "includeEmptyResults": true,
  "testMode": false
}' |
apify call shashghosh/signals-collector-web --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

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

```

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).
