## 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

## USAC Rural Health Care Emails · Form 461 Contacts

Export **rural hospitals and clinics** from the **official USAC Form 461** table: site name, **published email**, phone, county.

**No login. No API key. Not E-Rate school bids. Not Google Maps.**

Emails and phones **only when USAC publishes them** — never invented.

One row per unique **HCP number**. FY2026 has ~4,300 unique sites (~96% email). All years combined: ~12,000 unique HCPs.

### Who is this for?

| You are… | Typical goal | Suggested setup |
|----------|--------------|-----------------|
| Telecom / broadband / HCF vendor | Rural clinics with a mailbox | Missouri 2026 · contacts on |
| Agency / SDR | One row per site in the CRM | Dataset view **Outreach CRM** |
| Market research | Count Rural Health Care applicants | All U.S. states · one funding year |
| Hardware / network integrator | Territory list with a named contact | One state · 20 rows, then raise Max |

**What you get by default:** site name, published email, phone, city, county, funding year. This is **not** FCC Form 470 (schools and libraries).

### Quick start

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console.
2. Keep **2026** and **Missouri**, or pick another year and state.
3. Leave **Only rows with email or phone** on for a first CRM export.
4. Click **Start**.
5. Download JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML — views **Overview** or **Outreach CRM**.

**Max unique sites = 0** → no Actor-side ceiling. **Free plan: 20 / run.**

### Ready-made examples

| Example | Best for |
|---------|----------|
| Missouri RHC clinic emails | Largest FY2026 state roster |
| Texas RHC clinic emails | Large state, rural hospital mix |
| Nationwide 20-row sample | Quick Try |
| Pennsylvania RHC clinic emails | Mid-Atlantic clinics |

### What it extracts

| Category | Fields |
|----------|--------|
| Identity | `facilityName`, `contactName`, `licenseNumber` (HCP number), `facilityType` (HCF or Telecom) |
| Contact | `contactEmail`, `contactPhone` |
| Location | `address`, `city`, `stateCode`, `postalCode`, `county` |
| Filing | `fundingYear`, `applicationNumber`, `applicantType`, `url` (Form 461 PDF) |

Empty source fields stay empty. We do not invent mailboxes.

### How it works

1. Read the public USAC Form 461 table for the year and states you picked.
2. Copy site, contact, email, phone and county **when they are printed**.
3. Keep the first (newest) row per HCP number.
4. Write matching rows as the Dataset fills.

### Input

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `fundingYear` | string | `2026` | `2026`, `2025`, `2024`, `2027`, or `ALL` (newest contact per HCP). |
| `states` | array | `["MO"]` Try | State codes, or `ALL`. |
| `county` | string | empty | Optional. `Greene` and `Greene County` both match. |
| `onlyWithContact` | boolean | `false` (`true` in Try) | Keep only rows with a published email or phone. |
| `maxItems` | integer | `20` | **0** = no numerical cap. **Free plan: 20 / run.** |

```json
{ "fundingYear": "2026", "states": ["MO"], "onlyWithContact": true, "maxItems": 20 }
```

```json
{ "fundingYear": "2026", "states": ["TX"], "onlyWithContact": true, "maxItems": 20 }
```

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

### Output example

```json
{
  "providerKey": "RHC-111616",
  "facilityName": "Columbia Memorial Hospital - Tannersville Family",
  "contactName": "Christa M Proper",
  "contactEmail": "christaproper@yahoo.com",
  "contactPhone": "(518) 269-6262",
  "city": "Tannersville",
  "stateCode": "NY",
  "county": "Greene",
  "fundingYear": "2024",
  "facilityType": "HCF"
}
```

### How much does it cost to scrape Rural Health Care contacts?

Pay-per-event. List price includes a $0.00005 start. FREE pays the most; Gold+ less. A 20-row Try usually finishes in **under a minute**.

| Scenario | FREE | Bronze | Silver | Gold |
|----------|------|--------|--------|------|
| 20 sites with email | ~$0.08 | ~$0.07 | ~$0.06 | ~$0.05 |
| 20 sites with phone | ~$0.05 | ~$0.04 | ~$0.04 | ~$0.03 |

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

### Is it legal to scrape USAC Form 461?

This Actor copies data USAC publishes on a **public** open-data table. Names, emails and phones are personal data — your use must comply with CAN-SPAM, TCPA, HIPAA marketing rules where they apply, and any rules that apply to you. This is not legal advice. See [Apify on the legality of web scraping](https://blog.apify.com/is-web-scraping-legal/).

Independent tool. Not affiliated with USAC or the FCC.

### Local development

```bash
cd us-rhc-form461-leads
npm install
cp .actor/INPUT.json storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json
apify run --purge
```

Use `apify run` (not `npm start`). Root `input.json` is merged locally; CLI KV input wins on key collision. Local `storage/` is not synced to Apify Console.

`npm test` runs mapper and county tests (no network).

### FAQ

**Do you invent emails?** No. A mailbox appears only when Form 461 prints one.

**Is this E-Rate Form 470?** No. Form 470 is schools and libraries. This Actor is **Rural Health Care Form 461**.

**Why unique sites, not 90k rows?** The open table is one row per application. Repeat filers would duplicate the same mailbox. We keep one HCP.

**Do I need an API key?** No.

## MCP server setup

        }
    }
}
```

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).
