## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

## OSHA Violations & Inspection Search

Search OSHA workplace safety inspection records, violations, and penalties across the United States.

### Features

- Search by establishment name, state, date range
- Filter by case status (open/closed) and violation presence
- Get detailed violation data including citation types, standards cited, and penalties
- Pagination support for large result sets
- Normalized output with penalty summaries

### Input Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `establishment` | string | `%` | Company name to search (use % as wildcard) |
| `state` | string | (all) | Two-letter state code (CA, TX, NY, etc.) |
| `dateFrom` | string | | Start date (MM/DD/YYYY or YYYY-MM-DD) |
| `dateTo` | string | | End date (MM/DD/YYYY or YYYY-MM-DD) |
| `caseStatus` | string | `all` | Filter: all, open, or closed |
| `violationsOnly` | boolean | `true` | Only return inspections with violations |
| `includeViolationDetails` | boolean | `true` | Fetch detailed violation info per inspection |
| `maxResults` | integer | `50` | Maximum results to return (1-500) |

### Output

Each record includes:

- `activityNumber` - OSHA inspection identifier
- `establishmentName` - Company name
- `state` - State code
- `inspectionDate` - Date opened
- `inspectionType` - Complaint, Planned, Referral, etc.
- `scope` - Complete, Partial, Records
- `violationCount` - Number of violations
- `totalInitialPenalty` / `totalCurrentPenalty` - Penalty amounts
- `penalties` - Breakdown by type (Serious, Willful, Repeat, Other)
- `violations[]` - Individual citation details with standards cited

### Use Cases

- **Compliance teams**: Monitor competitor/supplier OSHA records
- **Insurance underwriters**: Assess workplace safety risk
- **Journalists**: Investigate workplace safety patterns
- **Safety consultants**: Track industry violation trends
- **Due diligence**: Pre-acquisition workplace safety review

### Data Source

Data sourced from [OSHA IMIS](https://www.osha.gov/ords/imis/establishment.html) (Integrated Management Information System), the official OSHA public inspection database.

## `caseStatus` (type: `string`):

Filter by case status.
## `violationsOnly` (type: `boolean`):

If true, only return inspections that have violations.
## `includeViolationDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Fetch detailed violation info for each inspection (slower, makes additional requests).
## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of inspection records to return.

## Actor input object example

# 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 = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("lulzasaur/osha-violations-scraper").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();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("lulzasaur/osha-violations-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
