## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

## New LLC Filings API: New Business Leads from CO, CT and PA

### For AI agents

**Call it when:**

- The user wants businesses formed in the last N days in Colorado, Connecticut or Pennsylvania.
- The user wants a keyword- or type-filtered list (for example LLCs with "construction" or "realty" in the name).
- A schedule needs only new filings (`onlyNew: true`).

**Don't call it when:**

- The state is not CO, CT or PA.
- The user needs contact details for individuals. This listing covers company-level fields only.
- The user wants one known company's full registry record (use the state's own search).

**Input: new Colorado and Connecticut LLCs with construction or realty names, last 7 days:**

```json
{"states": ["CO", "CT"], "daysBack": 7, "entityTypes": ["LLC"], "nameKeywords": ["construction", "realty"], "excludeInactive": true, "maxItems": 25}
```

**Input: scheduled only-new feed for Colorado:**

```json
{"states": ["CO"], "daysBack": 3, "onlyNew": true, "maxItems": 100}
```

**Output:** one row per business. Real row, Connecticut, run `k2uojy8gb7OlboeME` (contact fields trimmed):

```json
{
 "state": "CT",
 "entityId": "3070967",
 "name": "MATIC LLC",
 "entityType": "LLC",
 "filingDate": "2026-10-21T00:00:00.000",
 "status": "Active",
 "address": "13 Town Line Rd",
 "city": "Wolcott",
 "stateCode": "CT",
 "zip": "06716",
 "naics": "484121",
 "sourceUrl": "https://data.ct.gov/d/n7gp-d28j"
}
```

**Price:** $0.003 per business (event `business`) + $0.005 per run start. `maxItems` applies per state.

**Limits:**

- 3 states: `CO`, `CT`, `PA`. Set `states` explicitly in every call.
- Pennsylvania publishes with a lag: a 14-day window returned 0 PA rows on 2026-10-22 (run `k2uojy8gb7OlboeME`). Use a longer `daysBack` for PA.
- NAICS is published by Connecticut only.

**Call it:** MCP `https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=johto.data/us-new-business-filings-leads`, or `POST https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/johto.data~us-new-business-filings-leads/run-sync-get-dataset-items` with `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN>` and the JSON input.

# Actor input Schema

## `states` (type: `array`):

Two-letter state codes to pull: TX, NY, PA, CO, OR, CT, e.g. \["TX","NY"].

## `daysBack` (type: `integer`):

Only entities formed/registered within this many days.

## `entityTypes` (type: `array`):

Keep only entity types containing any of these (e.g. LLC, CORPORATION). Empty = all.

## `nameKeywords` (type: `array`):

Keep businesses whose name contains any keyword, e.g. \["construction","dental","realty","trucking"]. Empty = all.

## `excludeInactive` (type: `boolean`):

Drop records whose status looks rejected, dissolved or withdrawn.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum businesses per state; each is one charged result ($0.003). Default 10 keeps an empty-input call a cheap sample; raise it for the full list.

## `onlyNew` (type: `boolean`):

Remember results across runs (per account) and return only items not seen before. Ideal for scheduled runs: you pay only for new records.

## `webhookUrl` (type: `string`):

Optional. POSTs the new items as JSON with a 'text'/'content' summary (Slack, Discord, Zapier, Make, n8n compatible).

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,johto.data/us-new-business-filings-leads"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
