Open Brewery DB Business Intelligence Actor

Overview

This actor extracts comprehensive data for over 20,000 breweries worldwide from the public Open Brewery DB API. It enhances the raw data with an AI-powered business viability score (0-100), providing business intelligence for craft breweries, brewpubs, and beer producers. No API key is required.

Key Features

• AI Business Viability Scoring: A proprietary 0-100 score based on four weighted factors: Business Type (30pts), Digital Presence (25pts), Geographic Data Quality (25pts), and Operational Data Completeness (20pts).
• Extensive Coverage: Data for breweries across the United States, Europe, and beyond.
• Complete Business Data: Returns names, addresses, phone numbers, websites, GPS coordinates, and brewery types (micro, brewpub, regional, contract, etc.).
• Geographic Filtering: Search and filter results by city, state, or country.
• Simple Pricing: Pay-per-event model: $0.00005 per actor start + $0.02 per brewery processed.
