They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. 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). # README ## US New Business Filings — Daily Feed of New LLCs & Corporations Get every new business registered in the covered states, delivered as one clean, unified dataset. Data comes straight from official government sources (Secretary of State bulk feeds and open-data portals), refreshed daily. **Schedule this actor to run every morning and start the day with a fresh list of brand-new businesses — with owner names, addresses, and registered agents.** ### Who Uses This - **Insurance agents**: new businesses need general liability, workers comp, and BOP policies from day one - **Banks, payroll & merchant services**: new LLCs need bank accounts, payroll, and payment processing - **B2B SaaS and agencies**: reach founders in their first week, before competitors know they exist - **CPAs and attorneys**: new filings signal demand for accounting, bookkeeping, and legal setup - **Commercial real estate**: new entities often precede office and retail leases - **Data teams**: track business formation trends by state, city, or industry ### Supported States | State | Source | Freshness | Extras | |-------|--------|-----------|--------| | Florida | Division of Corporations bulk feed (the data behind Sunbiz) | Daily | Officers (up to 6), EIN when published | | New York | Department of State daily filings (data.ny.gov) | Daily (T-1) | County, filer, service-of-process address | | Colorado | Secretary of State open data | Same-day | Registered agent with address | | Connecticut | Business Registry master (data.ct.gov) | Same-day | **Business email address + NAICS code** | | Oregon | Secretary of State open data | Weekly (Mondays) | Principal, mailing, and agent addresses | | Texas | Comptroller franchise taxpayer registrations | Daily | Proxy source: new businesses appear days after SOS filing | These six states cover roughly a third of all new US business formations. More states are added as their governments publish usable data. Need a specific state sooner? Open an issue on this actor and it moves to the front of the queue. **Per-state notes:** - **New York** publishes a rolling ~2-month window of daily filings, so use it as a feed, not an archive. - **Oregon** refreshes weekly: use `last7days` or wider to always catch the latest batch. - **Texas** SOS data is paywalled, so the feed uses the Comptroller's new franchise-taxpayer registrations instead: same businesses, a few days later, no agent/officer data. - **Connecticut** is the only state publishing business email addresses: instant outreach lists. ### Output One unified schema across all states. Each record includes (where the state provides it): | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `state`, `stateName` | Where the business registered | | `businessName` | Official registered name | | `entityNumber` | Official registry ID | | `entityType` | Normalized: LLC, CORPORATION, NONPROFIT, LP, OTHER | | `entityTypeRaw` | The state's own type code | | `status` | Registration status | | `filingDate` | Date of formation/filing (YYYY-MM-DD) | | `principalAddress` / `City` / `Zip` | Business address | | `mailingAddress` / `City` / `Zip` | Mailing address if different | | `registeredAgentName` / `Address` | Registered agent details | | `officers` | Officers/members with titles, names, addresses (where published) | | `feiNumber` | Federal EIN (where published) | | `sourceUrl` | Link to the official state record | | `dataSource` | Which government feed the record came from | ### Input ```json { "dateRange": "last3days", "states": [], "entityTypes": ["LLC", "CORPORATION"], "maxResults": 0 } ```` - `dateRange`: `today`, `yesterday`, `last3days`, `last7days`, `last14days`, or `custom` with `customStartDate`/`customEndDate` - `states`: empty = all supported states - `entityTypes`: empty = all types - `maxResults` / `maxResultsPerState`: 0 = unlimited Note: states publish with a 1-2 day lag, and a record's `filingDate` can trail its publication date by a few days. `last3days` is a safe default for daily schedules. ### Why This Beats Doing It Yourself Each state hides its data behind a different mechanism: fixed-width SFTP bulk files, open-data APIs, quirky portals. This actor normalizes all of it into one schema, handles retries and timeouts, and keeps up when states change their formats. You get a single feed instead of N integrations. All data is public record, sourced from official government feeds — no scraping of protected websites, no PII beyond what states publish by law. ### Works Great With - [Website Company Enricher](https://apify.com/great_pistachio/website-company-enricher) - Enrich new businesses with emails, phones, and tech stack from their websites - [Florida New Business Leads](https://apify.com/great_pistachio/florida-business-leads) - Florida-only feed with extended filters (city, ZIP, filing type) - [US Business Entity Search](https://apify.com/great_pistachio/us-business-search) - Look up any existing business across state registries - [Property Tax Scraper](https://apify.com/great_pistachio/property-tax-scraper) - County assessor records for property research ### FAQ **How fresh is the data?** Records appear as soon as the state publishes them, which is typically the next business day after filing. **Can I get only LLCs?** Yes — set `entityTypes` to `["LLC"]`. **Does it work on a schedule?** Yes, that's the intended use: schedule a daily run with `dateRange: "last3days"` and dedupe on `entityNumber` downstream (or keep `yesterday` for near-zero overlap). **Is this legal?** Yes. All records are public business registrations published by state governments for exactly this kind of use. # Actor input Schema ## `dateRange` (type: `string`): Which filing dates to include. Government feeds publish with a 1-2 day lag, so 'Last 3 Days' is a safe default. ## `customStartDate` (type: `string`): Start date for custom range (YYYY-MM-DD). Only used when Date Range is 'Custom Range'. ## `customEndDate` (type: `string`): End date for custom range (YYYY-MM-DD). Only used when Date Range is 'Custom Range'. ## `states` (type: `array`): Which states to pull filings from. Leave empty for all available states. ## `entityTypes` (type: `array`): Filter by normalized entity type. Leave empty for all types. ## `maxResultsPerState` (type: `integer`): Cap results per state. 0 = unlimited. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Cap total results across all states. 0 = unlimited. ## Actor input object example ```json { "dateRange": "last3days", "states": [], "entityTypes": [], "maxResultsPerState": 50, "maxResults": 0 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `defaultDataset` (type: `string`): New business filings across US states in a unified schema — business name, entity type, filing date, addresses, registered agent, officers, and (where published) business email and NAICS code # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
