## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

**Get every new LLC and corporation registered in Florida, Colorado, Oregon, and New York — daily, from official state sources.** New Business Filings Scraper turns Secretary-of-State records into fresh B2B leads for **banks, insurance agents, payroll and accounting firms, web designers, and B2B agencies**: a brand-new company needs everything, and you can be the first call.

Unlike search-page scrapers that break when a state redesigns its website, this Actor reads **official bulk data feeds and government open-data APIs** — including Florida's Sunbiz daily file, which lists every officer, registered agent, and address the day the filing is entered.

### What does New Business Filings Scraper do?

It collects newly registered business entities — name, document number, filing date, entity type, status, registered agent, principal/mailing address, and (for Florida) the full officer list — filtered by state, date range, and entity type. Run on demand, on a daily schedule, or via the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2). Export to JSON, CSV, or Excel, or pipe to Google Sheets, webhooks, or your CRM.

### Why new business filings are the best B2B leads

A new filing is a **timestamped buying signal**: the owner just committed money and needs banking, insurance, bookkeeping, a website, payroll, and marketing — and almost nobody has called them yet.

- **Banks & credit unions**: new entities need business checking before revenue exists.
- **Insurance agents**: GL/workers-comp shopping starts at formation.
- **Accountants & payroll**: the `is_likely_brand_new` flag (Florida) marks filings with no EIN on record yet — pre-accountant companies.
- **Agencies & web designers**: brand-new businesses with a principal address and an officer name are a ready outreach list.

Off-platform services sell this exact data at $99–299/month per state. Here it's **$0.02 per filing**, and you only pay for what you pull.

### State coverage (verified sources, not scraped search pages)

| State | Source | Officers | Registered agent | Addresses | Freshness |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Florida | Sunbiz official daily data file (SFTP) | ✅ up to 6, with titles | ✅ | principal + mailing | same day (~3,200/day) |
| Colorado | data.colorado.gov open data | — | ✅ | principal | next day |
| Oregon | data.oregon.gov open data | ✅ (associated names) | ✅ | principal + mailing | 1–2 days |
| New York | data.ny.gov open data | — | process address | process address | next day |

Florida is the deepest new-business data source any state publishes — officer-level detail nobody else on the store surfaces cleanly.

### How to get yesterday's new LLCs every morning

1. Pick your **States** and leave the date window empty (defaults to the last 3 days).
2. Turn on **Only new results** — the Actor remembers the newest filing date per state.
3. **Schedule** daily in the Apify Console.
4. Add an integration (Google Sheets, webhook, Slack, email) and the morning's new companies arrive where you work.

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `states` | array | FL, CO, OR, NY | Any subset |
| `dateFrom` / `dateTo` | string | last 3 days | Filing-date window `YYYY-MM-DD` |
| `entityTypes` | array | `[]` | Keywords like "llc", "profit corporation", "non-profit" |
| `onlyNewResults` | boolean | false | Watermark mode for scheduled runs |
| `maxItems` | integer | 0 | Hard cap (cost control) |
| `socrataAppToken` | string | — | Optional free token raises CO/OR/NY rate limits |

```json
{
    "states": ["FL"],
    "entityTypes": ["llc"],
    "onlyNewResults": true
}
````

### Output

One JSON object per filing. Download as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML, or read via API.

    "state": "FL",

}
```

### How much does new business filing data cost?

**$0.02 per filing.** Florida alone files ~3,200 entities per workday — a full FL day is about $64, a filtered daily LLC feed for one metro's outreach typically far less with `entityTypes` + `maxItems`. Compare: NewFilings.com charges $99/month per state feed.

### Tips

- **Florida + `is_likely_brand_new: true`** is the highest-value cut: companies so new they have no EIN on record.
- Officer names + titles (FL/OR) let you address the actual decision-maker, not "Business Owner".
- New York's process address is often a registered-agent company — treat NY as volume/trend data, FL/CO/OR as outreach data.
- Filing data includes some amendments; the Actor filters to filings dated within your window automatically.

### FAQ

**Is this legal?** Yes. All four sources are official government publications released specifically for public use. The Florida SFTP credentials are published by the Division of Corporations on its own site.

**Why these 4 states?** They're the ones with genuinely open, verified data feeds. Texas and Washington sell their bulk data; scraped search pages break. More states are added as open feeds are verified — request yours in the Issues tab.

**A state returned nothing?** Florida publishes one file per workday (none on holidays); CO/OR/NY lag up to 2 days. Widen the date window.

**Found a problem?** Open an issue in the Issues tab.

## `dateFrom` (type: `string`):

Earliest filing date to include. Leave empty for 3 days ago.

## `dateTo` (type: `string`):

Latest filing date to include. Leave empty for today.

## `entityTypes` (type: `array`):

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many filings (controls your cost). 0 = unlimited.

## `socrataAppToken` (type: `string`):

Free token from any Socrata portal raises rate limits for CO/OR/NY. Works without one for normal volumes.
