# Find new construction companies by name keyword

**Use case:** 

Searches the last 14 days of registrations in Florida, Texas and Colorado for entities whose name, agent or address contains 'construction'. Name-keyword filtering is the cheapest way to build an industry list from a registry that does not publish industry codes. Swap the keyword for roofing, plumbing, dental, trucking or any trade you sell into.

## Input

```json
{
  "states": [
    "florida",
    "texas",
    "colorado"
  ],
  "searchText": "construction",
  "maxRecordsPerState": 50,
  "maxRecordsTotal": 150
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "state": {
    "label": "State",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "registration_date": {
    "label": "Registration date",

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/automation_craft/us-new-business-registrations-scraper.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
