You need your own USPTO API key (free)

USPTO serves patent data only through its Open Data Portal (ODP), and every ODP request needs an API key tied to a verified USPTO.gov account. This actor uses your key; it does not include one.

Create a free USPTO.gov account at account.uspto.gov.
Verify your identity with ID.me when the portal asks (a one-time step USPTO requires for API keys).
Sign in at data.uspto.gov, open My ODP, and copy your API key.
Paste it into the usptoApiKey input (stored as a secret).

Without a key: Demo Mode (the default) returns built-in sample data. A live run without a key finishes successfully with one informational row (needsApiKey: true) explaining how to get a key, and charges nothing beyond the Actor start fee.

Quick Start

Test with Demo Mode (free, no API key needed)

{
  "demoMode": true
}

Live search with your key

{
  "demoMode": false,
  "usptoApiKey": "YOUR_USPTO_ODP_KEY",
  "task": "search_patents",
  "searchQuery": "solid state battery",
  "limit": 10
}

Tasks

Task	Input	Returns
`search_patents`	`searchQuery` (optional `cpcClass`, `dateFrom`, `dateTo`)	Matching application records, including granted patents

ODP covers applications filed in 2001 and later. limit is 1 to 100 per run.

Troubleshooting

"USPTO Open Data Portal rejected the API key"

Copy the key again from data.uspto.gov (My ODP). Keys are tied to a verified USPTO.gov account.

"rate limit reached (429)"

USPTO limits requests per key. Wait a minute and run again.

No results

Try fewer or broader keywords, or check the spelling of the company or inventor name.
