## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## ASHI Home Inspectors · Emails & Phones by State

Export **public ASHI inspector profiles** as a spreadsheet — name, company, email, phone, website, and US state. Filter by state or paste profile URLs.

**No login. No API key. No ASHI account.**

### Who is this for?

| You are… | Typical goal | Suggested setup |
|----------|--------------|-----------------|
| Solar / roofing / HVAC sales | Inspectors who already talk to homebuyers | **Florida** or **California** · Only rows with email or phone |
| Home-warranty or insurance BD | Territory list with a real mailbox | One state · 20-row first run · then raise Max inspectors |
| Agency / SDR | CRM import, one row per inspector | Dataset view **Outreach CRM** |
| Market research | How many certified inspectors per state | Empty states = nationwide · contacts optional |
| Ops / data | Enrich ASHI URLs you already have | Paste **Profile URLs** |

**What you get by default:** identity, company, membership when published, US state, profile URL. Email and phone **only when ASHI prints them** on the public profile — never invented.

**City and ZIP** are not on the public profile. Filter by **US state**, or paste URLs.

### How to use

1. Open this Actor in Apify Console.
2. Keep **Florida** (or pick another state). Leave states empty for nationwide.
3. Leave **Only rows with email or phone** on for a CRM-ready first export.
4. Click **Start**.
5. Download JSON / CSV / Excel — views: **Overview**, **Outreach CRM**, **Services**.

**Max inspectors = 0** → no Actor-side ceiling (Free plan still stops at **20** / run).

### Standby lookup (HTTP)

Console **Start** is unchanged: fill Input, run, download the dataset.

Need **one inspector** (or a few) in n8n, Make, or your own app? Use the **Standby** tab hostname. Authenticate with `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN>` (or `?token=`).

| Method | Path | Request | Response |
|--------|------|---------|----------|
| `GET` / `POST` | `/lookup` | `profileUrl` **or** `state` + `maxItems` (1–5) | `{ items, count, cap, … }` |
| `GET` | `/` | Header `x-apify-container-server-readiness-probe` | `OK` |

Hard cap: **5 inspectors** per request (1 if you pass a profile URL). Bulk scrapes belong on **Start**. Same PPE as a dataset row. First byte timeout: 5 minutes.

```bash
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  "https://<user>--ashi-homeinspector-scraper.apify.actor/lookup?profileUrl=https://www.homeinspector.org/profile/john-ghent/"
```

```bash
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"state":"FL","maxItems":3,"onlyWithContact":true}' \
  "https://<user>--ashi-homeinspector-scraper.apify.actor/lookup"
```

```json
{ "items": [{ "name": "John Ghent", "email": "…", "phone": "…", "state": "CT" }], "count": 1, "cap": 5 }
```

Standby memory **512 MB**, idle **60 s** (Console → Actor → Standby).

### Ready-made examples (published tasks)

Saved presets (publish in Console to get Store landing pages):

| Example | Best for |
|---------|----------|
| Florida inspectors with emails | Home-services outreach in FL |
| California inspectors with emails | West Coast territory |
| Inspectors from profile URLs | Enrich a short list you already have |
| Nationwide CRM sample | 20-row Try, contacts only |

### What it extracts

| Category | Fields |
|----------|--------|
| Identity | `name`, `firstName`, `lastName`, `companyName`, `membershipLevel`, `memberSince` |
| Contact | `email`, `emails`, `phone`, `phones`, `website` |
| Location | `state`, `states` |
| Services | `propertyTypes`, `additionalServices` |
| Profile | `profileUrl`, `slug`, `profileId`, `hasEmail`, `hasPhone`, `scrapedAt` |

ASHI headquarters phone (`847-759-2820`) and `@homeinspector.org` / `@ashi.org` mailboxes are dropped. A “Contact me today” form can sit on the page — contacts are still copied from the public HTML when present.

**Typical fill (Florida, 8 contact-only rows, Aug 2026):** **8/8 email and phone**. Company and website fill when the inspector published them. Membership year and badge are missing on some cards. City / ZIP: **never** on the public profile.

### How it works

1. Read the public ASHI directory for the states you picked (or nationwide).
2. Open each inspector profile page.
3. Copy name, company, email, phone, and website **when they are printed**.
4. Write one row immediately — the Dataset fills as the run goes.

### How much does it cost to scrape ASHI?

HTTP-only (no browser). Pay-per-event on each exported inspector, plus a ~$0.00005 start. Compute on 512 MB is typically cents.

| | Free | Bronze | Silver | Gold | Platinum | Diamond |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Inspector with email | $0.00399 | $0.00349 | $0.00299 | $0.00249 | $0.00249 | $0.00249 |
| Inspector with phone only | $0.00249 | $0.00219 | $0.00189 | $0.00169 | $0.00169 | $0.00169 |
| Inspector without contact | $0.00149 | $0.00129 | $0.00109 | $0.00099 | $0.00099 | $0.00099 |
| 20 emails (Try) | **$0.08** | $0.07 | $0.06 | $0.05 | $0.05 | $0.05 |
| 1,000 with email | **$3.99** | $3.49 | $2.99 | $2.49 | $2.49 | $2.49 |
| ~1,900 nationwide, mix of tiers | **~$3–8** | lower | lower | lower | lower | lower |

Free Apify plan: **20 inspectors per run**. Paid plans follow your max charge.

### Is it legal to scrape ASHI?

This Actor only copies data ASHI publishes on **public** inspector profile pages. Names, emails and phones are personal data — make sure your use complies with GDPR, CAN-SPAM, TCPA and any rules that apply to you. This is not legal advice.

### Is scraping ASHI free?

ASHI does not charge to view public profiles. You still pay Apify PPE (and a little compute). There is no high-volume free path.

### Input

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `states` | array | `["FL"]` prefill | US states. Empty = nationwide. |
| `onlyWithContact` | boolean | `false` (`true` in Try) | Keep rows with published email and/or phone. |
| `profileUrls` | array | — | Public profile URLs. When set, states are ignored. |
| `maxItems` | integer | `20` | **0** = no numerical cap. **Free plan: 20 / run.** |
| `verboseLogs` | boolean | `false` | Extra debug lines for support. |

API-only: `maxConcurrency` (default 16), `proxyConfiguration` (`{ "useApifyProxy": true }` on the platform).

```json
{
  "states": ["FL"],
  "onlyWithContact": true,
  "maxItems": 20
}
```

```json
{
  "profileUrls": ["https://www.homeinspector.org/profile/john-ghent/"],
  "maxItems": 1
}
```

### Also available

**[InvestorLift Scraper](https://apify.com/corent1robert/investorlift-scraper)** — US wholesale deals with optional seller website email and phone. No login.

### Local development

```bash
cd ashi-homeinspector-scraper
npm install
cp .actor/INPUT.json storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json
apify run --purge
```

Use `apify run` (not `npm start`). Default **INPUT.json** must include required schema fields (or pass `--input-file`). Local `storage/` is not synced to Apify Console. Root `input.json` is merged locally; CLI KV input wins on key collision.

`npm test` runs parser unit tests (no network).

### FAQ

**Does every row have an email?** No. The Actor never invents a mailbox. Turn **Only rows with email or phone** on to skip empty cards.

**Why no city or ZIP?** ASHI does not print them on the public profile. State comes from the directory listing.

**InterNACHI?** Not this Actor. `nachi.org` is behind a bot wall.

**Will a 20-row Try finish in 5 minutes?** Yes — HTTP-only, typically under a minute for a single state.

**Does Standby replace Start?** No. Start = batch dataset. Standby = small JSON lookup. First HTTP byte timeout is 5 minutes.
