## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

## CFPB HMDA Lenders Scraper — U.S. Mortgage Lender Filing Database

Pull the **complete list of U.S. mortgage lenders** that reported under the **Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA)** for a given year — over 5,000 banks, credit unions, and non-bank originators per filing year, ranked by loan-application record (LAR) count, with each institution's Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) and direct download links to their full LAR file.

HMDA is the single most authoritative public dataset of U.S. mortgage lending. Every covered institution must report each loan application to the CFPB; the filer roster + LAR counts let you see who actually originated mortgages last year, who's gaining or losing share, and who has more than X loans worth of detail to mine downstream.

### What you get

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `year` | HMDA filing calendar year |
| `lei` | 20-character Legal Entity Identifier (GLEIF) |
| `name` | Reported institution legal name |
| `loanCount` | Number of LAR records reported by this filer for the year |
| `rank` | National rank (1 = largest filer by LAR count) |
| `marketSharePct` | Filer's share of total LAR records that year |
| `institutionUrl` | Deep link into the CFPB Data Browser for the institution |
| `downloadAllRecordsUrl` | One-click CSV download of every LAR record this filer submitted |

### How to scrape HMDA mortgage lenders

1. Click **Try for free** to start a run with the default year (2023).
2. Optionally narrow by `nameFilter` (e.g. `"CHASE"`), `minLoanCount` (e.g. `1000`), or `maxResults`.
3. Run — the dataset comes back as JSON / CSV / Excel / Markdown.

A typical 2023 pull returns ~5,100 lenders in under 30 seconds.

### Pricing

$0.003 per lender row. A full year (~5,100 filers) costs roughly $15.30 in result fees plus minimal compute. Compute is billed separately by Apify.

### Example input

```json
{
    "year": 2023,
    "nameFilter": "CREDIT UNION",
    "minLoanCount": 500,
    "maxResults": 0
}
````

### Example output

```json
{
    "year": 2023,
    "lei": "5493003GQDUH26DNNH17",
    "name": "NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION",
    "loanCount": 173415,
    "rank": 6,
    "marketSharePct": 1.42,
    "institutionUrl": "https://ffiec.cfpb.gov/data-browser/data/2023?category=states&leis=5493003GQDUH26DNNH17",
    "downloadAllRecordsUrl": "https://ffiec.cfpb.gov/v2/data-browser-api/view/csv?years=2023&leis=5493003GQDUH26DNNH17"
}
```

### Use cases

- **Mortgage industry sales/marketing** — Build TAM lists of lenders by size and segment.
- **Vendor / fintech BD** — Prospect the long tail of small banks and credit unions actually originating mortgages.
- **Bank M\&A research** — Identify share gainers/losers year over year.
- **Academic / regulatory research** — Pair filer roster with LAR data for fair-lending and CRA studies.

### Other actors you might like

- `fdic-banks-scraper` — FDIC-insured institution roster
- `fdic-enforcement-actions-scraper` — FDIC enforcement actions
- `sec-edgar-scraper` — SEC EDGAR filings
- `treasury-fiscal-scraper` — Treasury fiscal data

### FAQ

**Q: Where does the data come from?**
A: The CFPB Data Browser public API (`ffiec.cfpb.gov/v2/data-browser-api/view/filers`). No login or key required.

**Q: How do I get individual loan records, not just the lender list?**
A: Each row includes a `downloadAllRecordsUrl` — that CSV contains every LAR record that filer submitted (rate, loan amount, applicant demographics, action taken, census tract, etc.).

**Q: Why are some institution names ALL CAPS?**
A: That's how lenders self-report to HMDA. Upper-case is normal.

### Legal

Data comes from the public Consumer Financial Protection Bureau HMDA Data Browser. This actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by CFPB or FFIEC. Use of the data is subject to the public-domain terms of the CFPB. Loan-application records contain demographic data; if you re-publish raw LAR data you remain responsible for fair-lending and privacy compliance.

# Actor input Schema

## `year` (type: `integer`):

Calendar year of HMDA filings to retrieve. Defaults to a known-published year so empty input always returns data.

## `nameFilter` (type: `string`):

Filter by lender name (case-insensitive partial match). Examples: 'CHASE', 'CREDIT UNION', 'WELLS FARGO'.

## `minLoanCount` (type: `integer`):

Only include lenders with at least this many HMDA-LAR records for the year. 0 = include all filers.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of lenders to return. Set to 0 for unlimited.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "year": 2023,
  "nameFilter": "",
  "minLoanCount": 0,
  "maxResults": 0
}
```
