## 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.

### Frequently Asked Questions
**What company data can I get from Crunchbase without a login?**\
This scraper collects the public, logged-out profile: name, description, website, headquarters, industries, employee range, Crunchbase rank, founders, public contact details, social links, the most recent funding round type, and activity counts such as the number of investors, acquisitions and investments when they are shown publicly. It does not access anything behind the Crunchbase paywall.
**Can I look companies up by name instead of slug?**\
Yes. Use the search query input to find organizations by name or keyword, and the scraper collects the matching public profiles. You can also pass exact slugs or full crunchbase.com/organization URLs.
**Does it return total funding amount and founded year?**\
No. Crunchbase gates the exact founding date and dollar funding totals behind a paid login, so those are not part of the public surface and are not returned. The public last funding round type and the number of funding rounds are included when shown.
**How many companies can I scrape in one run?**\
Set Max Items to any number. Requests run sequentially to respect Crunchbase rate limits, so large batches take longer but complete reliably.
**What happens if a company is not found?**\
The record for that input carries an error note and the URL that was tried, so your run never fails silently and you can see exactly which slugs did not resolve.
