## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

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 examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

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`).

### Who is it for

- ESCOs and retrofit contractors
- Energy auditors and LL87 engineers
- Proptech and ESG platforms
- Brokers and building owners

### Use cases

- Target D and F rated buildings for retrofits
- Benchmark grades by neighborhood and building class
- Learn which energy measures pay back fastest

### How to use it

1. Open the **Input** tab and pick the filters you need (all are optional).
2. Set the maximum number of records to return.
3. Click **Start**. Results appear in the dataset as they are collected and can be exported to JSON, CSV or Excel, or pulled through the Apify API.
4. Schedule the actor (daily, weekly or monthly) to keep your list fresh.

### FAQ

**Am I charged if a run fails or finds nothing?**

No. You pay only for records actually delivered to your dataset. Failed or empty runs cost nothing.

**Is there a free trial?**

Yes. Free Apify plans can run every actor and receive up to 10 results per run to evaluate the data.

**Where does the data come from?**

From official public records and open-data disclosures published by the government programs named on this page. BuildingSignal cleans, normalizes and standardizes them into one consistent schema.

**How fresh is the data?**

Each run reads the current official publication, so you always get the latest data the program has released. Schedule the actor to track changes over time.

**Can I use it with my CRM or BI tool?**

Yes. Export to CSV/Excel/JSON, call it through the Apify API, or connect it with Make, Zapier, n8n or Google Sheets integrations.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
