CivicDataWorks

I’m Rowan Mercer, the builder behind CivicDataWorks.

I create focused Apify Actors that turn publicly accessible web data into clean, structured outputs for research, monitoring, analysis, and workflow automation. What I build

• Public-data collection and extraction tools
• Repeatable research and monitoring workflows
• Structured datasets for downstream analysis
• Practical automations with clear inputs and outputs
• Focused tools designed to solve one job well How I build

Every CivicDataWorks Actor is designed around:

• Clear inputs — understandable configuration without unnecessary complexity
• Structured outputs — consistent data that is ready for further processing
• Predictable behavior — explicit limits, errors, and operational expectations
• Useful documentation — examples, output fields, and troubleshooting guidance
• Responsible use — tools intended for lawful, authorized collection of publicly accessible data Support

If you encounter a problem, open an issue from the relevant Actor’s Issues tab and include:

• What you were trying to accomplish
• A sanitized example of the input
• The run ID
• The result you expected
• The result you received

Please remove credentials, personal information, and other sensitive data before submitting an issue. Custom work

Need a related data workflow or a variation of an existing Actor? Send a request through the relevant Actor’s Issues tab with the target, required output fields, expected volume, and update frequency.

I evaluate custom requests based on technical feasibility, maintainability, and responsible data-access boundaries.
