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 ## Voluntary Carbon Registry Scraper — ACR, CAR, Puro.earth Pull voluntary carbon offset and carbon dioxide removal (CDR) projects from three leading registries: - **American Carbon Registry (ACR)** — acr2.apx.com - **Climate Action Reserve (CAR)** — thereserve2.apx.com - **Puro.earth** — registry.puro.earth (CDR/CORC projects) Returns project type, methodology, developer, country, crediting period, credits issued, status, and CDR classification. No authentication required. ### What you get Each record contains: | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `registry` | Source registry: `ACR`, `CAR`, or `Puro` | | `project_id` | Native ID in the source registry | | `project_name` | Full project name | | `project_type` | Category (e.g. Forest Carbon, Biochar, Methane Capture) | | `methodology` | Protocol or methodology code | | `country` | Project site country | | `state_or_region` | State or region | | `project_developer` | Developer name | | `crediting_period_start` / `crediting_period_end` | Crediting period (ISO dates) | | `total_credits_issued` | Lifetime credits (ERTs for ACR, CRTs for CAR, CORCs for Puro) | | `credit_unit` | `ERT`, `CRT`, or `CORC` | | `status` | Project status (Registered, Listed, Active, etc.) | | `is_cdr` | `true` for permanent carbon dioxide removal projects | | `corsia_eligible` | `true` if flagged as CORSIA-eligible | | `project_url` | Canonical registry page URL | ### Input | Parameter | Type | Description | |-----------|------|-------------| | `registries` | array | Which registries to scrape: `acr`, `car`, `puro` (default: all three) | | `projectTypes` | array | Filter by project type substring (e.g. `forestry`, `biochar`, `methane`) | | `cdrOnly` | boolean | Return only permanent CDR projects (Puro CORCs + ACR biochar/BECCS + CAR removal protocols) | | `countries` | array | ISO-2 or ISO-3 country codes to include (e.g. `US`, `FR`, `GB`) | | `minCreditsIssued` | integer | Exclude projects with fewer credits issued than this threshold | | `maxItems` | integer | Maximum records to return across all registries (default: 100) | ### Usage examples **All CDR projects across all registries:** ```json { "registries": ["acr", "car", "puro"], "cdrOnly": true, "maxItems": 500 } ```` **US forestry projects from ACR and CAR:** ```json { "registries": ["acr", "car"], "projectTypes": ["forest", "forestry"], "countries": ["US"], "maxItems": 200 } ``` **Puro.earth biochar projects with at least 1,000 CORCs issued:** ```json { "registries": ["puro"], "projectTypes": ["biochar"], "minCreditsIssued": 1000 } ``` ### Data volumes | Registry | Typical project count | |----------|-----------------------| | ACR | ~978 projects | | CAR | ~1,268 projects | | Puro.earth | ~114 projects | ### Notes - ACR and CAR data is sourced from the APX platform bulk CSV export — all records in a single request, no pagination. - Puro.earth data is extracted from the server-rendered project registry page. - CDR classification uses keyword matching on project type and methodology fields, plus Puro's `C0x` methodology codes. - `corsia_eligible` is populated from ACR's registry data where available. # Actor input Schema ## `sp_intended_usage` (type: `string`): Please describe how you plan to use the data extracted by this crawler. ## `sp_improvement_suggestions` (type: `string`): Provide any feedback or suggestions for improvements. ## `sp_contact` (type: `string`): Provide your email address so we can get in touch with you. ## `registries` (type: `array`): Which voluntary carbon registries to scrape.
