## 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.

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

Monitor the status of Czech Ministry of Interior (MVČR) visa and residence-permit applications on [ipc.gov.cz](https://ipc.gov.cz/en/status-of-your-application/). Give it one or more reference numbers — get back the exact portal message plus a structured status code, with optional transition events when the status changes between runs.

### What you get

For each reference, the Actor captures:

- the **full portal message** (`uiMessageFull`) — exactly as displayed on the portal
- the **headline** (`uiMessage`) — good for notification subject lines
- the **alert kind** (`alertKind`) — `success`, `warning`, `danger`, `info`
- the **state code** (`state`) — structured identifier from the portal's internal API
- a **transition event** (`event`) — `appeared`, `changed`, `disappeared`, or `no_change`, computed against the previous run

### Input

```json
{
    "referenceNumbers": ["OAM-63880/DP-2025", "OAM-75227-23/ZM-2022", "MINS202603120001"],
    "emitMode": "changes_only"
}
````

Supports three reference formats: `OAM-12345/DP-2025`, `OAM-12345-6/DP-2025`, and 16-character ŽOV numbers like `MINS202603120001`.

`emitMode`: `changes_only` pushes only on transitions (ideal for scheduled monitoring + Slack/email alerts via Apify [integrations](https://apify.com/integrations)). `always` pushes current status every run (ideal for on-demand lookups and dashboards).

### Output

```json
{
    "referenceNumber": "OAM-63880/DP-2025",
    "event": "changed",
    "httpStatus": 200,
    "alertKind": "success",
    "uiMessage": "A decision has been issued in your case.",
    "uiMessageFull": "A decision has been issued in your case.\nPlease visit the Ministry office to collect your documents.",
    "currentState": { "exists": true, "state": "DECISION_ISSUED", "identification": { "...": "..." } },
    "previousState": { "exists": true, "state": "IN_PROGRESS" },
    "checkedAt": "2026-04-20T10:15:00.000Z",
    "raw": { "...": "..." }
}
```

Downloadable as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or HTML.

# Actor input Schema

## `referenceNumbers` (type: `array`):

List of application identifiers to check. Supports OAM-12345/DP-2025, OAM-12345-6/DP-2025, and ŽOV numbers like MINS202603120001.

## `emitMode` (type: `string`):

When to push dataset items. 'Changes only' is ideal for scheduled monitoring — you only get notified when something actually changes. 'Always' pushes the current status on every run, ideal for on-demand lookups and dashboards.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "referenceNumbers": [
    "OAM-63880/DP-2025",
    "OAM-75227-23/ZM-2022",
    "MINS202603120001"
  ],
  "emitMode": "changes_only"
}
```

## `summary` (type: `string`):

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "referenceNumbers": [
        "OAM-63880/DP-2025",
        "OAM-75227-23/ZM-2022",
        "MINS202603120001"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("inovaflow/mvcr-tracker").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) => {
    console.dir(item);
});
