## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## BCA Licensed Builders · Singapore Phones

Build a **CRM list of Singapore licensed builders** from the **official BCA licensed-builder register** on [data.gov.sg](https://data.gov.sg/datasets/d_19573c579879be15623f2e1e3854926d/view) — not a generic CKAN dump.

**~5,200 licence rows · unique firms by UEN · phones printed on the register.** Open government data.

**No login. No API key. No browser. No residential proxy bill. Free plan: 20 firms per run.**

Next in this pack: [HDB renovation contractor emails](https://apify.com/corent1robert/sg-hdb-renovation-contractor-leads) · [BCA CRS contractors](https://apify.com/corent1robert/sg-bca-crs-contractor-leads) · [BOA architect firms](https://apify.com/corent1robert/sg-boa-architect-firm-leads).

### Who is this for?

| You are… | Typical goal | Suggested setup |
|----------|--------------|-----------------|
| Materials / M\&E supplier | Licensed GC phones | Leave search blank · Only with email or phone |
| Fit-out / HDB adjacent SDR | GB2 builders | Licence class **GB2** · max 50 |
| Agency / data ops | Full unique-UEN master | Max firms **0** on a paid plan |
| First-run QA | Small CRM sample | Max **20** (Free plan always 20) |

**What you get by default.** Firm name, UEN, licence class(es), address, postal code, published phone. Emails are rare on this register — HDB renovation is the sibling with ~100% mailboxes.

**When the directory has no email.** This Actor never invents a mailbox. Pair with the HDB Actor when you need emails.

### How to use

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console.
2. Leave **Company or UEN** blank for the full register — or type a name.
3. Keep **Only with email or phone** on. Leave **Max unique firms** at 20 for a first run.
4. Click **Start**. Export JSON / CSV / Excel.

**Max unique firms = 0** → all unique UENs (Free plan still capped at **20** rows / run).

### Ready-made examples (published tasks)

Saved Console tasks ship with this Actor. Public Examples URLs appear after Console publish (quota allowing).

| Example | Best for |
|---------|----------|
| GB1 licensed builders · phones | Flagship general builders |
| GB2 licensed builders · phones | Class 2 outreach |
| Woh Hup company search | Named-firm QA |
| Full register sample | First 20 unique firms |

### What it extracts

| Category | Fields |
|----------|--------|
| Identity | `firmName`, `uen`, `providerKey` |
| Licence | `licenceClass`, `licenceClassCodes`, `expiryDate` |
| Contacts | `phone`, `contactPhone`, `email` when present |
| Location | `address`, `postalCode` |

### How much does it cost to scrape BCA licensed builders?

**HTTP-only open data** — default **512 MB**, no residential proxy.

| | Free | Bronze | Silver | Gold |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Per firm with phone (PPE) | $0.00299 | $0.00299 | $0.00299 | $0.00299 |
| 20 firms (PPE + start) | **~$0.06** | ~$0.06 | ~$0.06 | ~$0.06 |
| 1,000 firms with phone | **~$2.99** | ~$2.99 | ~$2.99 | ~$2.99 |

Actor start is **$0.00005**. Free plan: **20 rows / run**.

### Is it legal to scrape / reuse the BCA licensed-builder listing?

This Actor reads the **official open dataset** published by BCA on data.gov.sg. As with any file containing business contact data, ensure your use complies with PDPA and relevant outreach rules.

### Input

| Field | Default | Notes |
|-------|---------|--------|
| `query` | empty | Company or UEN contains-match |
| `classCodes` | empty | `GB1`, `GB2`, specialist codes |
| `onlyWithContact` | true | Skip empty phone and email |
| `requirePhone` | false | Phone required |
| `maxItems` | 20 | **0** = no ceiling. **Free plan: 20 / run.** |

#### API-only keys

Not on the Console form.

| Key | Type | Default | Notes |
|-----|------|---------|--------|
| `requireEmail` | boolean | false | Almost unused on this register |
| `verboseLogs` | boolean | false | Debug traces |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify proxy on cloud | Power users / API |

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
