## 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`).

# README

## ClinicalTrials.gov Sponsor & Study Update Radar

Find clinical trial registry metadata for chosen indications using the official [ClinicalTrials.gov API v2](https://clinicaltrials.gov/data-api/api). Returns the NCT ID, title, reported lead sponsor, registry recruitment status, date first posted (if available), latest update posting, medical indications and original ClinicalTrials.gov URL.

**Use cases:** biotech competitive intelligence, clinical development tracking, corporate research and pipeline alerts. NOT for clinical guidance or recruiting patients; study data can be delayed/incomplete. The last-update date is not the date a trial started, and keyword matches do not prove a sponsor/stock relationship.

Outputs are metadata only with a strict 120-row limit, 4 search terms, optional stable NCT exclusions. No abstracts, personal subjects, proprietary trial databases, or API keys.

**Experimental price:** $0.006/study after quality and compute evaluation. Do not publicly advertise unverified sale claims.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchTerms` (type: `array`):

Medical condition, molecule or treatment keywords, up to four searches

## `statuses` (type: `array`):

Registry official uppercase status codes; \[] means all statuses

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

Exclude records without an update date within this many days

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Results cap across all terms

## `excludeIds` (type: `array`):

Optional NCT values such as NCT12345678

## Actor input object example

# 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("ka1tetsu/vivlica-clinical-trials-sponsor-radar").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);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("ka1tetsu/vivlica-clinical-trials-sponsor-radar").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call ka1tetsu/vivlica-clinical-trials-sponsor-radar --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,ka1tetsu/vivlica-clinical-trials-sponsor-radar"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
