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 ## IRS Auto-Revocation List Scraper Download and parse the IRS Tax Exempt Organization (TEOS) auto-revocation bulk data file — the authoritative public record of every nonprofit that has lost or regained federal tax-exempt status. ### What it does The IRS automatically revokes a nonprofit's tax-exempt status when the organization fails to file required annual returns (Form 990, 990-EZ, or 990-N) for three consecutive years. This scraper downloads the full auto-revocation list from the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search (TEOS) system and returns structured records for every affected organization. The file is updated monthly by the IRS and covers over 1,000,000 historical revocations going back to 2007, including organizations that were later reinstated. ### Use cases - **Grantmaker compliance** — verify a charity has not been auto-revoked before disbursing funds - **DAF sponsor re-verification** — monthly re-check of all donor-advised fund recipient organizations - **Charity-verification SaaS** — integrate up-to-date revocation status into donor and compliance products - **CRM / donor data hygiene** — flag or remove revoked organizations from your donor database - **Monthly delta reporting** — schedule a monthly run and identify newly-revoked or newly-reinstated orgs by `revocation_date` or `exemption_reinstatement_date` ### Output fields | Field | Description | |---|---| | `ein` | Employer Identification Number | | `organization_name` | Name of the tax-exempt organization | | `doing_business_as` | DBA name, if any | | `organization_address` | Street address | | `city` | City | | `state` | US state abbreviation (or country code for foreign orgs) | | `zip` | ZIP or postal code | | `country` | Country (blank for US domestic) | | `exemption_type` | Type of exemption — e.g. `501(c)(3)`, `501(c)(4)` | | `revocation_date` | Date tax-exempt status was automatically revoked | | `revocation_posting_date` | Date the revocation was posted to the IRS website | | `exemption_reinstatement_date` | Date tax-exempt status was reinstated (blank if still revoked) | | `status` | `auto-revoked` or `reinstated` | | `tax_period` | Tax period (not present in the bulk file; always blank) | | `source_file` | Name of the source ZIP file downloaded from IRS | | `first_seen` | ISO-8601 timestamp of when this record was scraped | ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `maxItems` | integer | — | Maximum number of records to return. Leave blank to return all records (1M+). | ### Notes - **No proxy required.** The IRS bulk-data file is a public static download with no geo-restriction or anti-bot measures. - **Monthly cadence.** Schedule a run each month after the IRS updates the file (typically mid-month) to surface newly-revoked and newly-reinstated organizations. - **Memory.** This actor requires at least 512 MB of memory to decompress and parse the bulk data file. - **Full corpus run time.** A complete run over all 1M+ records takes approximately 5–10 minutes. - **Reinstatement detection.** The `status` field is derived: if `exemption_reinstatement_date` is populated, the status is `reinstated`; otherwise it is `auto-revoked`. Filter on `status = "reinstated"` to find organizations that regained their exemption. # 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. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of items to scrape ## Actor input object example ```json { "sp_intended_usage": "Describe your intended use...", "sp_improvement_suggestions": "Share your suggestions here...", "sp_contact": "Share your email here...", "maxItems": 10 } ```` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
