## 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

## UK Charities Register (Charity Commission)

**~184,000 registered charities** in England & Wales with charity and organisation numbers, type (CIO, charitable company, trust…), registration date, reporting status, latest financial year end, **latest income and expenditure**, postcode area, company number, website and insolvency/administration flags. From the Charity Commission's daily public extract (Open Government Licence v3), refreshed daily.

### What people use it for

- **Prospecting** for fundraising SaaS, payroll-giving and corporate-giving platforms (filter by income band and area).
- **Grant-maker and KYB due diligence** — reporting status, insolvency flags, latest accounts period.
- **New registrations** by date for sales teams.

### Output (one item per charity)

`organisation_number, registered_charity_number, linked_charity_number, name, charity_type, registration_status, date_of_registration, reporting_status, latest_financial_period_end, latest_income, latest_expenditure, postcode, outward_code, company_number, website, insolvent, in_administration, is_cio, gift_aid, has_land, activities`

### Data posture

Organisation-level only: contact address lines, phone, email and trustee names are never included. Pay per result; set **Maximum results** to control spend. Data from gankdat.com (REST API, MCP server, daily change feeds).

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("faceless-api/uk-charities-register").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call faceless-api/uk-charities-register --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,faceless-api/uk-charities-register"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
