## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. 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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Singapore Statutes Directory (SSO) — Acts Index

A complete, structured **directory of Singapore legislation** from the official **Singapore Statutes Online** (AGC) — every **current Act** (or subsidiary legislation, or repealed law) with its **title, short code, year, type, status and link**. Clean JSON, CSV or Excel. No key, no login.

Great for **legal tech, compliance monitoring, RAG/AI legal datasets and research** — schedule it to catch new or repealed legislation.

![Singapore Statutes Directory input — legislation type, status and keyword filter in the Apify Console](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/SUfvnaFLd9z9eBCtV/records/sg-statutes-scraper-input.png?v=2)

### What you get

![Singapore Statutes Directory output example — Acts with code, year, status and link as structured JSON](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/SUfvnaFLd9z9eBCtV/records/sg-statutes-scraper-output.png?v=5)

- ⚖️ **Every current Act** (~500) — title, official short code, year, and a direct link to the full text
- 🗂️ **Types & status** — Acts or Subsidiary Legislation; Current or Repealed
- 🔎 **Keyword filter** — pull just the Acts matching a term
- 🧾 **Provenance** — stable `id`, `sourceUrl`, `collectedAt` (schedule for change monitoring)

### Example input

```json
{ "legislationType": "Act", "status": "Current", "maxItems": 0 }
```

Only employment-related Acts:

```json
{ "nameQuery": "employment" }
```

### Output

```json
{
  "id": "sgleg-Act-EA1968",
  "code": "EA1968",
  "title": "Employment Act 1968",
  "year": 1968,
  "type": "Act",
  "status": "Current",
  "url": "https://sso.agc.gov.sg/Act/EA1968",
  "sourceUrl": "https://sso.agc.gov.sg",
  "collectedAt": "2026-07-30T11:20:00.000Z"
}
```

### FAQ

**Where does the data come from?**
Singapore Statutes Online (sso.agc.gov.sg), the official AGC legislation portal.

**Does it include the full legal text?**
This is the directory/index (title, code, link). Follow the `url` for the full text of each Act.

**Can I monitor for new legislation?**
Yes — schedule the Actor and compare runs; `collectedAt` timestamps each pull.

**How does billing work?**
A tiny per-page charge plus pay per legislation entry.

**Can I connect it to other tools?**
The Singapore Statutes Directory can be connected with almost any cloud service or web app thanks to [integrations on the Apify platform](https://apify.com/integrations). It works with [Make](https://apify.com/integrations/make), [Zapier](https://apify.com/integrations/zapier), [Slack](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/slack), [Airbyte](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/airbyte), [GitHub](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/github), [Google Drive](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/drive) and [many more](https://apify.com/integrations), plus the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2), JavaScript/Python clients and MCP. Or use [webhooks](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/webhooks) to trigger an action whenever a run finishes.

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("hipersoft/sg-statutes-scraper").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) => {

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call hipersoft/sg-statutes-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,hipersoft/sg-statutes-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
