## Pricing

Pay per usage

This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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

## US Liquor License Filings

New and pending US liquor license filings by state, read from each state's own public record. For teams that sell to bars and restaurants: beverage reps, POS and payments sellers, liquor liability agents and suppliers.

### What you get

**Free, no key.** Up to 25 filings per state from one full week a few weeks back: business, city, county, license type, status and date filed. No phones, owners or emails. The actor itself costs nothing beyond your Apify usage.

**With a [Liquor License Feed](https://liquorlicensefeed.com/pricing?state=tx\&src=apify) key.** Every new filing in your plan's states, the morning after it appears, with the street address, the phone and owner where we have them, the website, the public record link, and whether it's a new owner, a move or a first license at the address. Add your key in the `apiKey` field. Plans and the free trial are at [liquorlicensefeed.com/pricing](https://liquorlicensefeed.com/pricing?src=apify). Billing is with Liquor License Feed, not Apify.

### Input

| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| `states` | Two-letter codes, for example `["TX", "NH"]` |
| `kinds` | `on` bars and restaurants, `off` stores, `maker` breweries, wineries and distilleries, `other` |
| `counties` | Only these counties, for example `["Harris", "Orleans Parish"]`. Leave empty for the whole state |
| `includeChains` | Set false to leave chains out (with a key) |
| `since` | `YYYY-MM-DD`: only filings first seen on or after that date (with a key) |
| `apiKey` | Your Liquor License Feed key. Optional |

### Output

One row per filing. `tier` says which it is: `free_sample` or `subscriber`.

```json
{
  "business": "Example Bar LLC",
  "city": "Austin",
  "state": "TX",
  "county": "Travis",
  "license_type_label": "Mixed Beverage Permit",
  "status": "Pending",
  "filed": "2026-10-05",
  "kind": "on",
  "tier": "free_sample",
  "week_of": "2026-10-05"
}
```

Run it on a schedule with a `since` date and send rows to a webhook, a Google Sheet or your CRM with Apify's integrations.

### Questions

**Where does the data come from?** Each state's public licensing record, or city and county boards where a state leaves licensing to them. How each state is read is at [liquorlicensefeed.com/about-the-data](https://liquorlicensefeed.com/about-the-data), and which states are covered at [liquorlicensefeed.com/coverage](https://liquorlicensefeed.com/coverage).

**Why did my run fail?** A state that can't be read fails the run with a plain message. A partial list would look like a quiet week.

# 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 = {
    "states": [
        "TX"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("llfeed/us-liquor-license-filings").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();

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "states": ["TX"] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("llfeed/us-liquor-license-filings").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():

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "states": [
    "TX"
  ]
}' |
apify call llfeed/us-liquor-license-filings --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,llfeed/us-liquor-license-filings"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
