## 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

## Baidu Maps Scraper

Scrape points-of-interest (POI) from Baidu Maps. Extracts business names, addresses, phones, ratings, reviews, hours, coordinates, and categories. Supports pagination and region filter.

### What this Actor collects

Each dataset item represents one Baidu Maps point of interest, with available contact details, categories, coordinates, ratings, opening hours, media, and source identifiers.

- Uses the input limits and filters below to control the crawl.
- Stores source-backed fields defined by the 74-field dataset schema.
- Omits optional fields when the source does not expose a value instead of writing nulls or fabricated placeholders.

### Use cases

- Local lead research
- Location and category monitoring
- Business-directory enrichment

### Input

Provide input in JSON. Fields marked required must be supplied; source-specific alternatives and constraints are described in the field text.

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | :---: | --- | --- |
| `query` | string | Yes | — | POI search query (e.g. 餐厅, 咖啡厅, 酒店) |
| `region` | string | Yes | — | City/region name to search within (e.g. 北京, 上海, 深圳) |
| `maxItems` | integer | No | `100` | Maximum number of POIs to scrape |
| `maxPages` | integer | No | `10` | Maximum number of pagination pages to follow |
| `market` | string | No | `"zh-CN"` | Locale tag (e.g. zh-CN) |
| `maxRequestRetries` | integer | No | `3` | Retry temporary browser, network, and proxy failures. |
| `navigationTimeoutSecs` | integer | No | `60` | Maximum time allowed for each page navigation. |
| `requestHandlerTimeoutSecs` | integer | No | `120` | Maximum time allowed for search interaction and extraction. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | No | — | Proxy configuration for the scraper |
| `debug` | boolean | No | `false` | Log sanitized response-shape diagnostics without response bodies or credentials. |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "query": "餐厅",
  "region": "北京",
  "maxItems": 5,
  "maxPages": 2,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
