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 ## Florida Insurance License Search Search and download active Florida insurance licensees from the Florida Department of Financial Services (DFS) bulk CSV export. Covers all active agents, agencies, adjusters, and other licensee types. ### Features - Filter by county (e.g., Dade, Broward, Orange) - Filter by city (substring match) - Filter by entity name (substring match) - Filter by license type (e.g., "Life", "Property", "Health") - Include carrier appointment data (which companies each licensee is appointed with) - Filter to only licensees appointed with a specific carrier ### Example input — Miami-Dade agents appointed with State Farm ```json { "states": ["FL"], "countyFilter": ["Dade"], "includeAppointments": true, "carrierFilter": "State Farm", "maxRecords": 500 } ```` ### Example output record (with appointments) ```json { "licenseNumber": "L123456", "entityName": "SMITH, JOHN MICHAEL", "businessType": "Resident", "licenseType": "2-20 General Lines (Prop & Cas)", "licenseStatus": "Active", "issueDate": "2010-03-15", "county": "Dade", "city": "MIAMI", "state": "FL", "zip": "33101", "phone": "3051234567", "sourceState": "FL", "fetchedAt": "2025-01-01T00:00:00.000Z", "appointments": [ { "appointingEntityName": "STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE", "appointmentType": "2-20 General Lines (Prop & Cas)", "appointmentStatus": "Active", "effectiveDate": "2011-06-01", "expirationDate": "2026-03-31" } ] } ``` ### County name reference (FL DFS format) FL DFS uses legacy county names in some cases: - Miami-Dade → `Dade` - St. Johns → `St. Johns` - All other counties use standard names ### License type examples - `2-20 General Lines (Prop & Cas)` — P\&C agent - `2-15 Life, Health & Variable Annuity` — Life & health agent - `6-20 Public Adjuster` — Public adjuster - `4-40 Customer Representative` — CSR ### Use cases - Insurance agency prospecting and distribution research - Carrier appointment and market share analysis - Compliance verification for insurance transactions - Agent recruitment and territory analysis - Real estate and mortgage workflow (insurance vendor lists) # Actor input Schema ## `states` (type: `array`): State codes to download. Currently only FL (Florida) is supported. ## `countyFilter` (type: `array`): Only return licensees in these counties (FL only). Case-insensitive. E.g. MIAMI-DADE, BROWARD, PALM BEACH. ## `cityFilter` (type: `string`): Only return licensees in cities matching this substring (case-insensitive). ## `nameFilter` (type: `string`): Only return licensees whose entity name contains this substring (case-insensitive). ## `licenseTypeFilter` (type: `string`): Only return licensees with this license type (case-insensitive partial match). E.g. 2-20 for general lines agents. ## `includeAppointments` (type: `boolean`): Also download and join carrier appointment data. Adds an appointments array to each record. Increases download time. ## `carrierFilter` (type: `string`): Only return licensees appointed by carriers matching this name substring (case-insensitive). Requires includeAppointments: true. ## `maxRecords` (type: `integer`): Maximum records to return. 0 = unlimited. ## Actor input object example ```json { "states": [ "FL" ], "countyFilter": [ "MIAMI-DADE", "BROWARD" ], "cityFilter": "miami", "nameFilter": "insurance", "licenseTypeFilter": "2-20", "includeAppointments": false, "carrierFilter": "state farm", "maxRecords": 0 } ``` # 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/insurance-license-search").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 📖?
