## 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`).

### How to use it

1. Choose the lien type: all federal liens, IRS liens or other federal liens.
2. Set a date window, or leave it empty for the latest 60 days.
3. Add a debtor or secured party name to narrow the feed.
4. Optionally filter by borough or document amount.
5. Set the maximum number of filings and run the actor.

### Coverage and freshness

This actor covers New York City ACRIS personal property federal tax lien records: `FL` (IRS) and `FTL` (other federal liens). ACRIS updates monthly, and each record carries `recorded_date` and `observed_at`. It does not cover state tax liens or upstate New York filings.

### Pricing

$0.03 per result. Free users can preview up to 10 results per run. You are charged only for records that are delivered. If a run returns no data, there is no result charge.

### FAQ

#### What is the difference between FL and FTL?

`FL` is an IRS federal tax lien. `FTL` is another federal lien. The actor can return both or filter to one.

#### Does it cover all of New York State?

No. It covers New York City ACRIS records. Upstate filings are handled by the New York Department of State.

#### Can I filter by debtor?

Yes. Use `debtorName` to filter by the debtor or property owner.

#### Is this a certified search?

No. It returns public records for research and workflow automation. It is not a certified UCC or tax lien search.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "maxFilings": 10
}' |
apify call lienintel/nyc-federal-tax-liens --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,lienintel/nyc-federal-tax-liens"

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).
