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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Clutch.co Agency Scraper — B2B Company Profiles, Ratings & Leads Extract B2B agencies and service providers from **Clutch.co** at scale.

See the **Pricing** tab for current rates. ### FAQ **Do I need an API key or Clutch account?** No. There's no login and no API key. The Actor runs reliably at scale — just pass Clutch directory paths and run. **How many agencies can I get per run?** Each category page holds roughly 100 agencies; set `maxPagesPerCategory` to pull hundreds per category, and `maxItems` to cap the total (0 = all). Pass multiple categories in one run. **Is scraping Clutch.co legal?** The Actor collects only publicly listed directory data from [Clutch.co](https://clutch.co) — the same profiles any visitor sees. Public data is generally collectible, but you are responsible for using it in line with applicable laws and Clutch's terms. **Does it collect emails or contact info?** No. It returns agency profile fields — name, rating, review count, location, budget signals, employee range and profile URL — but not emails. To add contact details, feed the results to the [Website Contact Scraper](https://apify.com/hipersoft/website-contact-scraper). **What's the output format?** One structured JSON record per agency, ready for a CRM, spreadsheet or lead pipeline.
