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.

Search for "Sunbiz Details Spider" in the Apify Store. 2. Click "Try for free" or "Run". 3. Configure input parameters by providing the list of URLs. 4. Click "Start" to begin extraction. 5. Monitor progress in the log. 6. Export results in your preferred format (JSON, CSV, Excel). ### Output Format The actor outputs an array of JSON objects, each representing a scraped business. Key fields include business\_name, business\_type, registration\_number, status, addresses, officers\_directors (as an array), annual\_reports (array of objects with year and filed\_date), documents (array of objects with title and url), and event\_history\_url. This structured format ensures easy parsing and integration into databases or analysis tools. ### Error Handling The actor includes robust error handling, such as retries for network issues and logging of failed URLs. If a URL is invalid or the page structure changes, the actor will log errors and continue with other URLs. Check the run logs for details on any issues. ### Rate Limiting and Best Practices Apify enforces rate limits to prevent overloading the target site; respect these to avoid bans. Best practices include limiting concurrent runs, using valid URLs only, and processing results in batches. For large-scale scraping, consider scheduling runs during off-peak hours. ### Limitations This actor is specific to Sunbiz.org detail pages and may not work with other sites. Data accuracy depends on the source website's updates. Some fields like addresses may appear as "None" if not provided. ### Support For custom/simplified outputs or bug reports, please contact: - Email: support@getdataforme.com - Subject line: "custom support" - Contact form: https://getdataforme.com/contact/ We're here to help you get the most out of this Actor! # Actor input Schema ## `Urls` (type: `array`): The urls for the spider. ## Actor input object example ```json { "Urls": [ "https://search.sunbiz.org/Inquiry/CorporationSearch/SearchResultDetail?inquirytype=ZipCode&directionType=Initial&searchNameOrder=ATLASSERVICE%205859730&aggregateId=domp-585973-e39e1e80-316a-4538-9992-37a64f256893&searchTerm=12345&listNameOrder=ATLASSERVICE%205859730" ] } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): Scraped data items from dataset # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
