## 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/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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).

## 💧 Texas Water Well Driller & Pump Installer Business Leads

### 📊 Example output (real run)

![Sample output](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/1ztQFHwG8acESTazI/records/tdlr-water-well-driller-leads-sample)

A real record from a live run — clean structured data, exported as CSV / JSON / Excel or via API.


Extract **1,700+ TDLR-licensed** Texas water well driller and pump installer business leads — company/owner name, phone, mailing address, license number, decoded specialty, and expiry date — pulled directly from the **official Texas Open Data Portal**. No login, no CAPTCHAs, no anti-bot risk: this is a government open-data feed, so results are 100% verified and refreshed daily by the state.

### What data can it extract?

Every active (or, optionally, all-time) TDLR-licensed Water Well Driller and Pump Installer in Texas, including:
- Company / business name and licensed owner name
- Direct phone number (business or owner line)
- Full mailing address, city, state, ZIP, and county
- TDLR license number and a direct verification link
- **Decoded license specialty** — not just a raw code. Each record's scope-of-work letters are translated into plain English: *Water Wells, Monitor Wells, Injection Wells, Dewatering Wells, Closed-Loop Geothermal Wells, Single-Phase Pumps, 3-Phase Pumps, Turbine Pumps, Windmills/Hand Pumps* — the one thing raw government CSVs never give you.
- License expiration date

### How do I use this scraper?

1. Click **Start**, optionally set a Texas county (e.g. `HARRIS`, `TRAVIS`, `MEDINA`) and a specialty filter (`all` / `driller` / `pump_installer`).
2. Run. The Actor queries the Texas Open Data Portal directly (Socrata API), dedupes by license number, and streams clean lead records to the dataset in seconds — no browser, no proxy, no blocking.
3. Export as JSON/CSV/Excel from the dataset tab, or grab the ready-to-import CRM CSV from the Key-Value Store.

### How much does it cost to scrape Texas water well contractor leads?

Priced **pay-per-result** — you only pay for leads actually delivered, not platform usage. See the Actor's Monetization tab for the exact per-lead rate; there is no minimum spend or subscription.

### Input and output example

**Input:**
```json
{ "county": "TRAVIS", "specialty": "driller", "active_only": true, "max_results": 200 }
````

**Output (real captured example row):**

```json
{
  "company_name": "Griffin, Grady L",
  "owner_name": "Griffin, Grady L",
  "license_number": "58996",
  "license_subtype_code": "KPT",
  "specialty": "3 Phase Pumps, Single Phase Pumps, Turbine Pumps",
  "license_expiry": "2026-10-31",
  "phone": "8062927571",
  "mailing_address": "330 Fm 2284",
  "city": "Olton",
  "state": "TX",
  "zip_code": "79064",
  "county": "Lamb",
  "tdlr_profile_url": "https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/LicenseSearch/licfile.asp?licnum=58996"
}
```

### Is this legal?

Yes. Every record comes from TDLR's own public license registry, published as open government data on data.texas.gov specifically for public/commercial reuse. No account creation, scraping circumvention, or terms-of-service violation is involved — this is a direct, keyless call to a public government API.

### Who buys this data?

Pump and well-equipment manufacturers, groundwater treatment and filtration vendors, irrigation equipment distributors, geothermal HVAC suppliers, agricultural equipment companies, and drilling-rig/parts dealers doing B2B outreach to Texas water-well businesses.

### Other actors in this family

Also see [Texas Electrical Contractor Business Leads](https://apify.com/gocreative.ai/tdlr-electrical-contractor-leads) and [Texas Salon & Spa Leads](https://apify.com/gocreative.ai/tdlr-salon-spa-leads) — both sourced from the same official TDLR open-data pipeline.

### FAQ

**How often is the data updated?** The Texas Open Data Portal refreshes this dataset on an ongoing basis directly from TDLR's licensing system.
**Can I filter to only active licenses?** Yes — enable "Active Licenses Only" in the input (on by default).
**Does this include both drillers and pump installers?** Yes, filter by specialty to get one, the other, or both.
**Is proxy configuration required?** No — this Actor calls a public government API directly and needs no proxy or browser.

# Actor input Schema

## `specialty` (type: `string`):

'all' returns every licensed well driller and pump installer. 'driller' returns only well-drilling specialties (water wells, monitor wells, injection wells, dewatering wells, closed-loop geothermal). 'pump\_installer' returns only pump-installer specialties (single/3-phase pumps, turbine pumps, windmills & hand pumps).

## `county` (type: `string`):

Filter by Texas county name (e.g. HARRIS, TRAVIS, WILLIAMSON, MEDINA). Leave blank for all counties.

## `active_only` (type: `boolean`):

If enabled, only return licenses that have not yet expired.

## `max_results` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of records to return. Default 1,800 (roughly the full active dataset). Hard cap 5,000.
