## 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

## National Real Estate Appraiser Registry (ASC) Verification Data

Verify state-licensed real estate appraiser credentials in bulk from the federal Appraisal Subcommittee's National Registry — every state, one schema, refreshed from the registry on every run.

### Who this is for

Appraisal management companies (AMCs) building and auditing their panels. Lenders and mortgage servicers confirming an appraiser's credential before accepting a report. Title, insurance and compliance teams checking for public disciplinary actions. Recruiters and continuing-education providers working the renewal window.

### What you get

One record per credential: `full_name` split into `first_name` / `middle_name` / `last_name`, `license_number` (the state's own number), `credential` (Certified General, Certified Residential, Licensed, Trainee — as the state reports it), the licensing `state`, the appraiser's mailing `city` / `mailing_state` / `zip_code` / `county`, `business_name` (the company on file), the listed phone, `issue_date` and `expiration_date` in **MM/DD/YYYY** (with `_iso` twins), `expires_in_days`, and `status`.

The registry publishes a real status column, so `status` is the state's own word translated to the canonical vocabulary — `active` or `inactive` — with `status_raw` preserving the original and `status_basis: "published by the licensing authority"`.

Registry-specific fields ride along: `aqb_compliant` (meets AQB criteria), `disciplinary_action` with its effective and ending dates, and `ever_disciplined` as a plain yes/no.

### One schema across every state

Every licence roster in this catalogue delivers **the same columns, in the same order, meaning the same thing** — whichever state the record came from. Names leave in proper case with `name_raw` holding the source's exact rendering. Dates are **MM/DD/YYYY**, with an `_iso` twin for spreadsheets and imports. The state's own word is never thrown away.

Full column reference: `docs/SCHEMA.md` in the source repository.

### Coverage

All 50 states, the District of Columbia and the territories that report to the Appraisal Subcommittee — one federal source, every jurisdiction. Pass `states` to pull only the ones you need; leave it empty for the whole country.

### Input

- `states` — licensing states to pull; empty means every jurisdiction.
- `recordFilter` — `all`, `expiringSoon` (within `expiringWithinMonths`), or `newLicenses` (within `newWithinMonths`).
- `onlyActive` — default true; set false to include inactive credentials.
- `includeDisciplined` — default true; set false to exclude appraisers with a public disciplinary action.
- `maxRecords` — hard cap; the run also honours your Apify maximum-charge setting.

### Data source & fair use

The Appraisal Subcommittee (asc.gov) maintains the National Registry under federal law and offers it to the public for exactly this purpose. This Actor uses the registry's own download interface — no HTML scraping, one request per state, rate-limited.

### Pricing

Pay per record delivered: **$2.50 per 1,000 records**, plus a nominal start fee. Filters run before delivery, so you are never charged for a record you did not ask for.

# Actor input Schema

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

Two-letter codes of the states whose registries to pull (e.g. TX, LA). Leave empty for every reporting jurisdiction - all 50 states, DC and the territories.

## `recordFilter` (type: `string`):

all = every record; expiringSoon = licenses expiring within the renewal window; newLicenses = first issued within the new-license window.

## `expiringWithinMonths` (type: `integer`):

Used by the expiringSoon filter and the is\_expiring\_soon flag.

## `newWithinMonths` (type: `integer`):

Used by the newLicenses filter and the is\_new\_license flag.

## `onlyActive` (type: `boolean`):

Set false to include inactive, expired and revoked credentials.

## `includeDisciplined` (type: `boolean`):

Set false to exclude any appraiser with a disciplinary action on the registry.

## `maxRecords` (type: `integer`):

Hard cap on delivered records. Your Apify maximum-charge setting is honoured as well.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "states": [],
  "recordFilter": "all",
  "expiringWithinMonths": 6,
  "newWithinMonths": 6,
  "onlyActive": true,
  "includeDisciplined": true,
  "maxRecords": 1000
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `records` (type: `string`):

Dataset of normalized nursing home administrator license records with expiring-license and new-license lead flags.

# 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("kempdata/us-national-appraiser-registry").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);
});

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("kempdata/us-national-appraiser-registry").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 kempdata/us-national-appraiser-registry --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,kempdata/us-national-appraiser-registry"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
