The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

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 ## FAA Accidents / NTSB Aviation Events Search public NTSB aviation accident database ZIP/MDB files and return normalized aviation event records for safety, insurance, and transportation research. ### Best for - Aviation insurance analysts monitoring accident and incident updates - Safety consultants researching NTSB event patterns - Operators and legal teams checking events by NTSB number, aircraft, or location ### Input - `queries`: NTSB number, event type, city, state, airport, aircraft make/model, registration, owner, or operator. - `states`: Optional two-letter event state filters. - `eventTypes`: Optional event type filters such as `ACC` or `INC`. - `sourceUrl`: NTSB public ZIP URL containing an MDB file. - `maxItemsPerQuery`: Maximum records returned per query. - `includeNarrative`: Include available narrative fields. - `includeRaw`: Include raw MDB event and aircraft rows. ### Output Each dataset item includes normalized fields such as `source`, `query`, `recordType`, `title`, `identifier`, `date`, `url`, and `summary`, plus NTSB event, location, aircraft, operator, injury, and coordinate fields when available. ### Example input ```json { "queries": ["ERA26LA173"], "maxItemsPerQuery": 5 } ```` ### Example output ```json { "source": "ntsb_aviation_accident_database", "query": "ERA26LA173", "recordType": "aviation_event", "title": "ERA26LA173 - ACC - Stevensville, MD, USA", "identifier": "ERA26LA173", "date": "2026-04-11", "url": "https://data.ntsb.gov/avdata/FileDirectory/DownloadFile?fileID=C%3A%5Cavdata%5Cup01MAY.zip", "summary": "2026-04-11 | Stevensville, MD, USA | Aircraft: CESSNA 172 | Damage: SUBSTANTIAL", "ntsbNumber": "ERA26LA173", "eventType": "ACC", "city": "Stevensville", "state": "MD" } ``` ### Notes This actor reads the public NTSB aviation database files directly. If the ZIP is unavailable, lacks an MDB file, or cannot be parsed, the run fails instead of returning sample records. # Actor input Schema ## `queries` (type: `array`): Search NTSB number, event type, city, state, airport, aircraft make/model, registration, operator, or owner. ## `states` (type: `array`): Optional two-letter event state filters. ## `eventTypes` (type: `array`): Optional NTSB event type codes such as ACC or INC. ## `sourceUrl` (type: `string`): Public NTSB aviation database ZIP containing an MDB file. ## `maxItemsPerQuery` (type: `integer`): Maximum aviation events returned for each query. ## `includeNarrative` (type: `boolean`): Attach available NTSB narrative fields to each output item. ## `includeRaw` (type: `boolean`): Attach raw MDB event and aircraft rows to each output item. ## Actor input object example ```json { "queries": [ "ERA26LA173" ], "states": [], "eventTypes": [], "sourceUrl": "https://data.ntsb.gov/avdata/FileDirectory/DownloadFile?fileID=C%3A%5Cavdata%5Cup01MAY.zip", "maxItemsPerQuery": 50, "includeNarrative": false, "includeRaw": false } ``` # 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 '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "queries": [ "ERA26LA173" ], "states": [], "eventTypes": [] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("jeeves_is_my_copilot/faa-accidents").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); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
