Workflow

Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Define parameters
- [ ] Step 2: Run google-search-scraper
- [ ] Step 3: Filter and classify results
- [ ] Step 4: Score by quality and relevance
- [ ] Step 5: Deliver output

Step 2: Run the Actor

Recommended — run_actor.js (handles waiting, output, and file saving automatically):

bash

# Quick answer (prints table to chat)
node scripts/run_actor.js \
  --actor "apidojo~google-search-scraper" \
  --input '{"param": "value"}'

# Save as CSV
node scripts/run_actor.js \
  --actor "apidojo~google-search-scraper" \
  --input '{"param": "value"}' \
  --output YYYY-MM-DD_results.csv --format csv

# Save as JSON
node scripts/run_actor.js \
  --actor "apidojo~google-search-scraper" \
  --input '{"param": "value"}' \
  --output YYYY-MM-DD_results.json --format json

APIFY_TOKEN
must be set in environment or
.env
file.

If Apify MCP is available:

Tool: apify:run-actor
Actor: "apidojo~google-search-scraper"
Input:
{
  "searchTerms": ["[EVENT_NAME] 2026", "[EVENT_NAME] recap", "[EVENT_NAME] announcements", "[EVENT_NAME] highlights"],
  "maxItems": 100
}

REST API fallback:

bash

curl -X POST \
  "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/apidojo~google-search-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchTerms": ["[EVENT_NAME] 2026", "[EVENT_NAME] recap", "[EVENT_NAME] announcements", "[EVENT_NAME] highlights"], "maxItems": 100}'

Wait for

SUCCEEDED

. Fetch dataset:

bash

curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/actor-runs/$RUN_ID/dataset/items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN"

Step 3: Classify Results

classification: ANNOUNCEMENT (new product/feature) | KEYNOTE_RECAP (event summary) | AWARDS (industry recognition) | TREND_REPORT (analyst take) | EDITORIAL (opinion)

Step 4: Score Each Result

score = coverage_authority = (publication_tier: tier1=1, tier2=0.6, tier3=0.3) * article_recency_weight

Step 5: Edge Cases

Event may have a different official name vs. common name — try both; also search the hosting organization name if event name is ambiguous

Additional fallbacks:

< 20 results: Broaden search terms; remove secondary filters
No results: Verify the search terms are correct; try alternate phrasings
Data quality issues: Remove entries with missing key fields; note count in output

Output Format

# Finding Industry Event Coverage Google
Results: [N] | Date: [DATE]

| # | [Key Field] | [Metric 1] | [Metric 2] | [Classification] | [Score] |
|---|------------|-----------|-----------|-----------------|---------|
| 1 | [value] | [value] | [value] | [type] | [0.XX] |

## Summary
Top result: [description]
Key finding: [insight]

Troubleshooting

Too few results: Broaden the primary search term; remove restrictive filters. Low quality results: Apply minimum score threshold (≥ 0.50) to filter noise. Actor fails to run: Verify API key; check actor status at apify.com/apidojo.
