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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## EPA Toxic Release Inventory — TRI Facilities & Chemical Releases Search and download EPA Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) data from the Envirofacts API. Covers ~23,000 facilities that release toxic chemicals, with annual release amounts by medium (air, water, underground, land). ### Modes #### `facilities` (default) — Search TRI-reporting facilities ```json { "mode": "facilities", "states": ["FL", "TX"], "maxRecords": 500 } ```` #### `releases` — Annual chemical release amounts ```json { "mode": "releases", "year": 2022, "states": ["FL"], "maxRecords": 1000 } ``` ### Example output — facilities ```json { "trifId": "12025PRCTX1100M", "facilityName": "ExxonMobil Chemical Company", "street": "1100 METHANOL DR", "city": "TEXAS CITY", "county": "GALVESTON", "state": "TX", "zip": "77590", "latitude": 29.4012, "longitude": -94.9234, "industrySector": "Petroleum Refineries", "sicCode": "2911", "fetchedAt": "2025-01-01T00:00:00.000Z" } ``` ### Example output — releases ```json { "year": 2022, "trifId": "12025PRCTX1100M", "chemical": "BENZENE", "casNumber": "71-43-2", "fugitiveAirLbs": 1250.0, "stackAirLbs": 4320.0, "waterLbs": 0.0, "undergroundLbs": 0.0, "landLbs": 0.0, "totalReleasesLbs": 5570.0, "fetchedAt": "2025-01-01T00:00:00.000Z" } ``` ### Use cases - Environmental compliance and risk screening - Real estate and site contamination assessment - Community environmental health research - ESG scoring and environmental risk analysis - Regulatory research and policy analysis # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): Choose 'facilities' to list TRI reporting facilities (filterable by state/SIC), or 'releases' to get annual chemical release quantities (filterable by year/state/chemical). ## `states` (type: `array`): Two-letter state abbreviations to filter by (e.g. \["TX", "CA"]). Leave empty to fetch all states (facilities mode only; in releases mode all available national data is fetched then filtered). ## `year` (type: `integer`): TRI reporting year to fetch (releases mode only). Defaults to 2022. ## `chemicalName` (type: `string`): Case-insensitive substring filter applied to the chemical name (releases mode). E.g. 'lead' matches 'LEAD', 'LEAD COMPOUNDS', etc. ## `sicCode` (type: `string`): Filter facilities by SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) code prefix (facilities mode). E.g. '28' matches all chemical manufacturers. ## `maxRecords` (type: `integer`): Maximum total records to return across all pages/states. 0 = no limit. ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "facilities", "states": [ "FL", "TX" ], "year": 2022, "chemicalName": "lead", "sicCode": "28", "maxRecords": 500 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("commonelements/epa-toxic-releases").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
