Agency key

agency

Optional

Accela agency key. See agencies.json for 24 verified portal URLs.

Type:string

Default:ATLANTA_GA

Agency portal URL

portalUrl

Optional

HTTPS base URL ending with the agency key and a slash. Bundled deployment permits aca-prod.accela.com.

Type:string

Default:https://aca-prod.accela.com/ATLANTA_GA/

Module

module

Optional

Citizen Access module using General Search: Building, Enforcement or Planning. Known names are trimmed and normalized; other module names retain their casing. Availability varies by agency; unsupported modules fail clearly.

Type:string

Default:Building

Applied date from

dateFrom

Optional

Inclusive applied date, YYYY-MM-DD.

Type:string

Default:2026-09-06

Applied date to

dateTo

Optional

Inclusive applied date, YYYY-MM-DD.

Type:string

Default:2026-09-13

Last N days

lastDays

Optional

Search the last N calendar days ending today, instead of fixed dateFrom and dateTo. Leave at 0 to use the fixed dates.

Type:integer

Minimum:0

Maximum:366

Default:0

Portal permit types

recordTypes

Optional

Names or values from the selected module's Record Type list, for example "Commercial Demolition" in Atlanta. The portal searches only those types. At most 25 explicit types are allowed; unknown names stop the run with examples of available types. Leave empty to select types automatically using permitTypeContains. If no list is published, no types match, or more than 25 match, the actor scans the date window and filters rows locally.

Type:string[]

Default:

[]

Permit type contains

permitTypeContains

Optional

Case-insensitive substring matching; any listed string may match. Empty includes all types. With recordTypes empty, matching types from the portal list are searched directly (up to 25). If automatic selection is unavailable, finds no matches, or exceeds 25 matches, the date window is scanned. This filter still applies to returned rows, including when recordTypes is set.

Type:string[]

Default:

[]

Minimum valuation (USD)

minValuation

Optional

Zero disables filtering. A positive value excludes unknown valuations; enable includeDetails to read valuation when published.

Type:number

Minimum:0

Default:0

Maximum emitted permits

maxResults

Optional

The most rows one run delivers. When a run stops at this limit, the "only new permits" memory is not updated, so nothing is skipped next time.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:100000

Default:200

Maximum result pages read

maxPages

Optional

Ceiling on result pages read across all record-type searches (default 60). At the limit the run stops and names the input to change. Narrow the dates, select recordTypes, or raise maxPages. Plain runs retain delivered rows; detail runs deliver only after the failure threshold check. Incomplete status-monitor runs deliver no rows or baseline changes. sinceLastRun is not advanced on an incomplete run.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:10000

Default:60

Include permit details

includeDetails

Optional

Fetch public detail links for contractor, parcel, dates and valuation. Owner names additionally require includeOwnerName. Each fetched detail page costs $0.004, even if a valuation filter later excludes the record.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Include owner name

includeOwnerName

Optional

Include the property owner's name from the permit detail page. Off by default because owners are usually private individuals.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Only permits newer than previous run

sinceLastRun

Optional

Deliver only permits applied for after the newest one a previous run delivered. Needs a key-value store selected below as stateStoreId; give each schedule its own. A run that stops early does not move the marker forward.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Incremental state store

stateStoreId

Optional

Key-value store that remembers the newest applied date delivered by sinceLastRun runs. Create one in Apify Console and select it here; each schedule should have its own.

Type:string

Previous permit statuses

statusBaseline

Optional

Optional list of permit numbers and statuses from an earlier run, to compare against. Permit numbers match without regard to case.

Type:object[]

Default:

[]

Only status transitions

statusChangesOnly

Optional

Deliver only permits from the list above whose status is different now. Needs a non-empty list.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Reusable status state store

statusStateStoreId

Optional

A key-value store the actor uses to remember every permit's status between scheduled runs. The first complete run delivers everything and saves the statuses; later runs deliver only permits whose status changed. Use one store per schedule and let runs finish one at a time.

Type:string

Maximum monitor pages scanned

statusMonitorMaxPages

Optional

Safety limit on search result pages when watching status changes. If the limit is reached, the run stops and the saved statuses stay as they were. Counts across all record-type searches; maxPages also applies, and the lower limit wins.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:10000

Default:100

Maximum monitor records scanned

statusMonitorMaxRecords

Optional

Safety limit on permits read when watching status changes. If the limit is reached, the run stops and the saved statuses stay as they were.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:50000

Default:5000
