## 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.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## EPA WaterSense Labeled Products

Find EPA WaterSense labeled product records and export clean, source-linked rows for procurement, rebate, facilities, sustainability, and product-research workflows.

Use this Actor when you need a repeatable Apify dataset/API output instead of manually searching the WaterSense product site. It reads public WaterSense product-search data served by EPA and returns structured rows that are easy to filter, schedule, download, or feed into downstream systems.

**Unofficial / not affiliated:** this Actor is independently developed and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or maintained by EPA or the WaterSense program. It does not certify, rank, recommend, or warranty any product.

### Common use cases

- Check whether a model appears in the WaterSense labeled-product search.
- Build a shortlist of labeled fixtures by category, brand, keyword, or model.
- Enrich procurement, rebate, facilities, or sustainability workflows with source-linked product records.
- Run a small scheduled monitor for product-category coverage changes.
- Export WaterSense product rows to JSON, CSV, Excel, or an API integration.

### What you get

Each dataset row can include:

- product category
- brand name
- model number / model name
- UPC when the source provides it
- category-specific WaterSense attributes
- source URL
- collection timestamp
- optional sanitized raw source fields for debugging/integration

### Input filters

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `category` | One WaterSense category or `All`. |
| `keyword` | Optional model, UPC, or keyword filter. |
| `brandName` | Optional exact brand-name filter. |
| `maxItems` | Maximum product rows to save. |
| `includeRawFields` | Include sanitized raw source fields for debugging/integration. |

### Example input

```json
{
  "category": "Toilet",
  "maxItems": 10,
  "includeRawFields": false
}
````

### Pricing

from $2.00 / 1,000 EPA WaterSense product rows

This Actor uses Apify Pay per Event pricing with platform usage included. The row event is charged only for useful rows written to the default dataset.

| Event | Price | Unit |
|---|---:|---|
| Actor start (`apify-actor-start`) | `$0.00005` | Once when the run starts. |
| WaterSense Product Row (`apify-default-dataset-item`) | `$0.002` | Per EPA WaterSense product row. |

A row is one EPA WaterSense labeled-product row. Apify plan discounts, user-configured max-charge limits, and any future Apify pricing UI changes may affect final charges.

### Official source

- WaterSense product search: https://lookforwatersense.epa.gov

### Limitations and responsible use

WaterSense data is public but can change as EPA updates product records and category APIs. Always verify exact model numbers, brand names, product categories, and certification status against the official EPA source before procurement, rebate, sustainability, or compliance decisions.

This Actor is not product-certification advice, purchasing advice, environmental advice, legal advice, or compliance advice. It does not certify, endorse, recommend, rank, or warranty any product.
