## 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

## New Business Registrations: Fresh Startup Leads — $2 per 1,000

Find **brand-new US businesses the day they register**. The Actor reads the official open-data registries of Colorado, New York, Connecticut and Oregon, and returns each new company with its type, registration date, address and, where the state publishes it, the registered agent or business email. No login, no scraping of protected sites.

New businesses are the best prospects for banks, insurance, accountants, web and design agencies, software, payroll, legal and office suppliers. They need everything and haven't picked a vendor yet.

### Why use it

- **Fresh:** records appear within a day or two of registration (sorted newest first).
- **Official data:** straight from state open-data portals, so it is stable and legal to use.
- **Filters:** state, date range, business type (LLC, Corporation, Nonprofit), name keywords, city.
- **Cheap:** $2 per 1,000 registrations. Free Apify accounts get 25 per run.

### Pricing

| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| Registration | $2 per 1,000 ($0.002 each) |
| Actor start | $0.00005 |

### What each state provides

| State | Name, type, date, address | Registered agent | Business email |
|---|---|---|---|
| Colorado | yes | yes | no |
| New York | yes (service-of-process address) | yes | no |
| Connecticut | yes | no | **yes**, for most records |
| Oregon | yes | no | no |

Phone numbers and owner names are not published in these datasets. To turn a new company into a contactable lead, run the results through a website or lead enrichment Actor once the company has a website.

# 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("leadgenguy/new-business-registrations").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("leadgenguy/new-business-registrations").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 leadgenguy/new-business-registrations --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,leadgenguy/new-business-registrations"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
