## 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 Leads – Newly Opened Baton Rouge Businesses

**New businesses registered in East Baton Rouge Parish, often with a named contact person. 3¢ each.**

Comes from **East Baton Rouge Parish's** official business registration data, updated daily. Each lead has the trade and legal name, **contact person**, ownership type, license type, NAICS industry and industry group, address and opening date. Itinerant vendors and out-of-state registrants are filtered out by default.

👉 **Try it free:** new Apify accounts get **$5 of free platform credit every month**, enough for hundreds of leads. Click **Try for free**, set your filters and hit Start.

### Who uses it

POS & payments · commercial insurance · accountants & payroll · local marketing, SEO & web agencies · suppliers (food service, beauty, cleaning, pest control) · B2B SaaS · commercial real estate.

### Filters

- **Industry keywords / groups**: `Construction`, `Health Care`, `Accommodation and Food Services`
- **Cities**: `Baton Rouge`, `Baker`, `Zachary`, `Central`
- **ZIPs**
- Opening-date range

### Set it up as a daily lead feed

1. Set your filters (or leave them empty for everything).
2. Keep **Only new since last run** on. Each run returns only leads you haven't seen.
3. Click **Schedule → Daily**, then connect **Google Sheets, HubSpot, Salesforce, Slack, Zapier or Make** so fresh leads land in your tools automatically.

Runs with nothing new cost almost nothing, because you only pay for the leads you get.

```

### Output fields

`accountNumber, address, businessName, city, contactPerson, industry, industryGroup, jurisdiction, legalName, licenseType, locationNumber, mailingAddress, naics, openDate, ownership, source, state, status, zip`. Export as CSV, Excel or JSON, or pull it through the API.

### FAQ

**Where does the data come from?** The "Businesses Registered with EBR Parish" dataset on data.brla.gov, published by the City of Baton Rouge / Parish of East Baton Rouge.
**Does it include phone numbers?** The source doesn't publish them. Enrich with your usual tool.
**How do I avoid duplicates?** Keep "Only new since last run" on, and use a different dedupe store name for each separate feed.

**Need another state or city?** Request it in the Issues tab. LeadSignal adds new feeds regularly.

apify call leadsignal-data/baton-rouge-new-business-leads --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

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).
