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. 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 ## ๐Ÿข US Business Registry & New Business Leads Scraper Scrape **US state business-entity registries** โ€” business name, entity type, status, registration date, address, city, ZIP, owner/agent name, registry number (+ diversity flags where published). **Brand-NEW business registrations = the freshest B2B leads.** Public government open data, no login, no proxy, clean JSON/CSV. > Keywords: business registry scraper ยท new business leads ยท business registration data ยท secretary of state scraper ยท company formation ยท LLC scraper ยท new business filings ยท business entity search ยท company data ยท company lookup ยท registered agent ยท business owner data ยท startup leads ยท small business leads ยท B2B leads ยท sales prospecting ยท lead generation ยท CRM enrichment ยท sales leads ยท company directory ยท woman/veteran/minority-owned business ยท Colorado Connecticut Pennsylvania Hawaii Oregon business. ### โœ… Why it's reliable (a permanent solution) States publish business-entity registrations on **official open-data (Socrata SODA) APIs**.
