## 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`).

### What you get

- Wisconsin lien / IFS number and filing type.
- Filing date, filing time, lapse date and active/lapsed status.
- Debtor name, type, city, state and address when available.
- Secured party, lender or funder name and type.
- Serial number, internal lien GUID and official search URL.

### Who is it for

- MCA and ISO brokers working Wisconsin merchants.
- Equipment finance, factoring and commercial lending teams.
- Credit and collections teams monitoring Wisconsin liens.
- KYB, legal and due diligence teams.

### How to use it

1. Add one or more debtor names.
2. Choose the search method: starts with, contains, exact match or standard search logic.
3. Optionally filter by active/lapsed status, city, state or filing date.
4. Set the maximum number of records and run the actor.

### Coverage and freshness

This actor covers Wisconsin DFI UCC lien records available through the public lien search. Each record carries `filing_date`, `lien_status` and `observed_at`. The search is name-based, not a real-time new-filings feed.

### 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 charge.

### FAQ

#### Does it cover all Wisconsin filings?

It covers the records exposed by the Wisconsin DFI public UCC lien search. Older and current records are included when they match the filters.

#### Can I search by filing number?

The actor is optimized for debtor-name searches. Filing-number search is not exposed as an input in this version.

#### Is this a certified search?

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

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).
