## 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.

## 🍅 Tomato Cart AI Intelligence

### AI-Powered Google Maps Business Intelligence

Discover and analyze businesses on Google Maps with AI-driven insights. Generate lead scores, sales email drafts, competitor comparisons, market insights, and PDF/CSV reports — all in one run.

***

### 🎯 Two Modes

| Feature | Bulk Lead Generation | Single Business Analysis |
|---------|--------------------|------------------------|
| **Use case** | Find prospects by industry + location | Deep analysis of one specific business |
| **Input** | Keywords + Locations array | Maps URL or "Business Name, City" |
| **Output** | Lead list with AI scores + email drafts | Competitor comparison + recommendations + PDF |
| **Best for** | Sales teams, B2B prospecting | Business owners, marketers, consultants |

#### Bulk Lead Generation

Input industry keywords and city locations. The actor searches Google Maps, scores each business as a lead (0-100), generates a personalized sales email draft, and exports everything as CSV.

#### Single Business Analysis

Input a Google Maps URL or business name. The actor analyzes the target business, discovers competitors nearby, compares them with AI-generated strengths/weaknesses, and produces a professional PDF report with market insights and actionable recommendations.

**Example**: Analyze "Home Slice Pizza, Austin TX" — get competitors, market insights, and improvement suggestions.

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).
