## 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`).

## Allegheny County PA UCC Filings: Debtors & Secured Parties

Search **Allegheny County, Pennsylvania** UCC financing statements by debtor, secured party, exact instrument number or recorded-date window. Get debtor names, secured-party names, filing type, recorded dates, book/page, page count and document status as flat rows.

Allegheny County is Pennsylvania's second-most-populous county and the Pittsburgh commercial lending hub. This actor covers the **Allegheny County Recorder of Deeds Financing Statements index directly:** the county UCC record, not the Pennsylvania Department of State UCC database and not a multi-county bundle.

Here is one real record from this actor.

### Coverage and freshness

| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Jurisdiction | Allegheny County, Pennsylvania |
| Source | Allegheny County Recorder of Deeds public UCC index |
| Office searched | Financing Statements |
| Record families | UCC-1 initial filings, UCC-3 continuations, amendments, assignments and terminations |
| Default browse window | Last 90 days |
| Party search | Debtor (Direct) and secured party (Indirect), partial names |
| Exact lookup | County instrument number |
| Images | Not included; this actor returns the public index and party detail only |

Allegheny County records federal tax liens, mechanics liens and judgment liens in other offices. This actor is intentionally limited to the Recorder of Deeds **Financing Statements** index, so its rows are UCC filings rather than a mixed lien feed.

- Data comes from the county's free public index. It does not purchase document images and does not return image files.
- Party names are published in the county's index format, including abbreviations and letter-spaced corporate suffixes such as `L L C`. The actor preserves the published name and also accepts common suffix variants in search input.
- The county index can lag same-day recordings. Use the newest file date in your results as the practical cutoff.
- This is public recorded-document data. Verify current lien status and instrument details against the official county record before making a legal or lending decision.

### Pricing

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing. These are the current Apify prices, read on 2026-11-06.

| Event | Price | When it is charged |
|---|---|---|
| `result` | $0.015 | Each record delivered to your dataset |
| `apify-actor-start` | $0.003 | When a run starts, once per GB of run memory with a minimum of one |

At the default 512 MB, a run that delivers 100 records costs $1.503.

- Apify asks for a maximum spend of at least $0.018 per run on this actor.
- Accounts on the free Apify plan receive up to 10 results per run.
- If nothing matches or the source fails, you get one row with an `error` field and no `result` charge. The start event still applies to the run.
- Set a maximum cost per run and the actor stops delivering results when it reaches that limit.

### Comparison with other Apify actors

No dedicated actor for this source on the Apify Store as of November 2026. We searched the public Store on 2026-11-06 with queries including "Allegheny County Pennsylvania lien", "Allegheny County recorder" and "Allegheny County ucc", and we reviewed the listings for this source and data type. Broader actors exist: `shelvick/property-deed-records` searches deed and lien records from county recorder indexes. Their listings do not name this source, so we could not confirm that they cover it. Store listings change, so run the same search before you rely on this.

No. It returns public recorded documents for research and workflow automation. It is not a consumer report under the FCRA and must not be used to decide credit, employment, housing or insurance eligibility.

No. You get the indexed data for each recording, along with the document number you need to order a copy from the recording office.

**What can I filter by?**

The input accepts `debtorNames`, `securedPartyNames`, `instrumentNumber`, `fromDate` and `toDate`. The Input and filters section explains each one.

**Can I run it on a schedule?**

Yes. Create an Apify schedule for the actor, then send the dataset to your database, a spreadsheet or a webhook.
