## 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.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.

# README

## 🏠 US County Property Records Scraper

Pull **public property & appraisal records** straight from county Appraisal District
GIS servers: **owner name, property address, appraised value, market value, account
number, state class**. 100% public government record — no login, no CAPTCHA, no
anti-bot, no proxy required.

Built for **real-estate investors, wholesalers, agents, skip-tracers, lenders, and
market analysts** who need bulk, structured property data.

### ✅ Why this is reliable (a permanent solution)
Unlike sites behind Cloudflare, county appraisal districts publish their data through
**official ArcGIS REST services** — stable, public, government-run endpoints meant for
public access. That means:
- ✅ Works from any IP (cloud/datacenter) — **no proxy, no blocks**
- ✅ Clean structured JSON, fast, paginated
- ✅ Public record by law — legal to access

### 🗺️ Coverage (growing)
| Area | Market | Status |
|---|---|---|
| **Harris County (Houston), TX** | 4th-largest US city | ✅ Live |
| **Tarrant County (Fort Worth), TX** | DFW metroplex | ✅ Live |
| **Florida** | ENTIRE state (every county) | ✅ Live |
| Travis, Dallas, California, New York… | | 🔜 added regularly |

> We add high-quality public sources continuously — full owner + address + value, no
> half-data. The biggest US real-estate markets first.

### 🔧 Input
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| **county** | Which appraisal district (default: Harris/Houston) |
| **zip** | Filter to a ZIP (e.g. `77002`) |
| **city** | Filter to a city (e.g. `HOUSTON`) |
| **ownerName** | Owner name contains (e.g. `SMITH`, `LLC`) |
| **addressContains** | Address contains (e.g. `MAIN ST`) |
| **stateClass** | Appraisal class (e.g. `A1` = single-family residential) |
| **minValue / maxValue** | Appraised value range (USD) |
| **maxResults** | How many records to pull |

Leave all filters empty to bulk-pull the whole county (capped by `maxResults`).

#### Example input
```json
{ "county": "harris", "city": "HOUSTON", "minValue": 200000, "maxValue": 600000, "maxResults": 5000 }
````

### 📤 Output (one row per property)

```json
{
  "county": "Harris County (Houston), TX",
  "owner": "SMITH JOHN A",
  "address": "1234 MAIN ST",
  "city": "HOUSTON",
  "zip": "77002",
  "subdivision": "...",
  "state_class": "A1",
  "appraised_value": 345000,
  "market_value": 360000,
  "account": "0660640130020"
}
```

Export to CSV, Excel, JSON or API.

### 💡 Use cases

- **Investors / wholesalers** — find owners by area, value band, property type
- **Agents** — farm a ZIP/neighborhood, build mailing lists
- **Lenders / insurers** — verify property values
- **Analysts** — market value distributions by city/ZIP

### ⚖️ Legal

Property ownership & appraisal data is **public record** in the US, published by county
appraisal districts for public access. Use responsibly and comply with each district's
terms and applicable laws (e.g. don't use for unlawful solicitation).
