Patent search terms. Matched against patent title and abstract. By default queries the free, keyless Google Patents search; if an apiKey is supplied, the richer USPTO PatentSearch full-text any-word search is used instead.

Type:array

Default:

[
  "agent",
  "optimization"
]

PatentSearch API key (optional)

apiKey

Optional

OPTIONAL. Leave blank to use the free, no-key Google Patents source (works out of the box). If you supply your free USPTO PatentsView PatentSearch API key (sent as the X-Api-Key header), the actor uses the richer USPTO data instead. Request a key at https://patentsview.org/ — the legacy keyless USPTO API was decommissioned in 2025. Can also be supplied via the PATENTSVIEW_API_KEY environment variable.

Type:string

Granted on/after (YYYY-MM-DD)

dateFrom

Optional

Only return patents granted on or after this date. Leave blank to use the lookback window. Makes the actor behave as a monitor.

Type:string

Lookback window (days)

lookbackDays

Optional

If no explicit dateFrom is given, only return patents granted within this many days of the run. Default ~10 years so the actor returns results out of the box.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Default:3650

Max results

maxResults

Optional

Maximum number of patent records to return.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:1000

Default:100
