## 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

## HVAC Manufacturer Dealer Locator Aggregator

Aggregates 6 major HVAC OEM dealer networks into one unified, structured dataset. Covers Trane, American Standard, Carrier, Rheem, Lennox, and Goodman — each with manufacturer certification tier, contact details, services, badges, and ratings.

### What it does

Each supported brand operates an independent dealer locator with its own API. This actor unifies all of them:

| Brand | Source | Coverage method |
|---|---|---|
| Trane | `trane.com/residential/en/dealers/` | Full national roster via Next.js page data |
| American Standard | `americanstandardair.com/dealers/` | Full national roster via Next.js page data |
| Carrier | `carrier.com/bin/carrier/dealerlocator` | ZIP-grid sweep (JSON API) |
| Rheem | `rheem.com/wp-json/rheem-api/v1/ContractorLocator/Search` | ZIP-grid sweep (REST API) |
| Lennox | `lennox.com/api/vtl/find-dealers/get` | ZIP-grid sweep + profile scrape |
| Goodman | `goodmanmfg.com/json/DealerLocatorGoodman/search` | ZIP-grid sweep (reCAPTCHA v3, opt-in) |

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `manufacturers` | string[] | Brands to include. Values: `trane`, `american_standard`, `carrier`, `rheem`, `lennox`, `goodman`. Default: all except Goodman. |
| `maxItems` | integer | Max dealer records to collect across all brands. `0` = unlimited (default). |

Goodman is excluded from defaults because it requires reCAPTCHA v3 solving. Add `"goodman"` to `manufacturers` to opt in.

### Output fields

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `manufacturer` | string | Brand name |
| `dealer_name` | string | Business name |
| `dealer_tier` | string | Certification level (e.g. "Trane Comfort Specialist", "Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer") |
| `address` | string | Street address |
| `city` | string | City |
| `state` | string | 2-letter state abbreviation |
| `zip` | string | ZIP/postal code |
| `phone` | string | Primary phone number |
| `website` | string | Dealer website URL |
| `email` | string | Contact email |
| `rating` | number | Average customer rating (0-5), if available |
| `review_count` | number | Total reviews, if available |
| `services` | string[] | Services offered (e.g. `ductless`, `generators`, `air-conditioning`) |
| `badges` | string[] | Certifications/awards (e.g. `NATE Certified`, `Financing Available`) |
| `profile_url` | string | Dealer profile URL on manufacturer site |
| `zip_searched` | string | ZIP used to discover dealer (grid-sweep brands) |
| `latitude` | number | Geographic latitude, if available |
| `longitude` | number | Geographic longitude, if available |

### Example output

```json
{
  "manufacturer": "Trane",
  "dealer_name": "ABC Heating & Cooling",
  "dealer_tier": "Trane Comfort Specialist",
  "address": "123 Main St",
  "city": "Charlotte",
  "state": "NC",
  "zip": "28201",
  "phone": "(704) 555-0100",
  "website": "https://www.abchvac.com",
  "email": "",
  "rating": 4.8,
  "review_count": 312,
  "services": ["ductless", "smart-home"],
  "badges": ["NATE Certified", "Nexia Smart Home", "Financing Available"],
  "profile_url": "https://www.trane.com/residential/en/dealers/abc-heating-cooling-charlotte-nc-123456/",
  "zip_searched": "",
  "latitude": 35.2271,
  "longitude": -80.8431
}
````

### Scale

A full run (all 5 default brands, no item limit) produces approximately 80,000-150,000 dealer records. Trane and American Standard deliver complete national rosters on their listing pages. Carrier, Rheem, and Lennox use a 200-ZIP nationwide grid with 50-75 mile search radii for full coverage.

### Notes

- Goodman requires reCAPTCHA v3 solving. Captcha solve costs are billed per-event when Goodman is included.
- Dealer data is sourced in real time from manufacturer APIs with no caching of stale records.
- ZIP-grid brands (Carrier, Rheem, Lennox, Goodman) deduplicate by dealer ID to avoid duplicate records across overlapping search radii.
