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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer - Tax & Financial Data Search and extract nonprofit organization data from [ProPublica's Nonprofit Explorer](https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/), covering 1.8M+ tax-exempt organizations with IRS 990 filing data. ### Features - **1.8M+ nonprofits**: Search the full IRS tax-exempt organization database - **Financial data**: Revenue, income, assets, expenses from IRS 990 filings - **Tax filings**: Optionally fetch detailed 990 filing breakdowns with PDF links - **NTEE classification**: National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities codes with human-readable categories - **Tax-exempt status**: 501(c)(3), 501(c)(4), and other subsection classifications - **Free API**: Uses ProPublica's free public API — no authentication needed ### Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | |-----------|------|---------|-------------| | `searchQuery` | string | (required) | Organization name search (e.g., 'Red Cross') | | `state` | string | (empty) | US state filter (e.g., 'CA', 'NY') | | `nteeCode` | string | (empty) | NTEE category code (e.g., 'P' for Human Services) | | `includeFilings` | boolean | false | Fetch detailed IRS 990 filing data (slower) | | `maxResults` | integer | 100 | Max organizations to return (0 = all) | ### Output Example ```json { "name": "American National Red Cross", "ein": "53-0196605", "city": "Washington", "state": "DC", "nteeCode": "P210", "nteeCategory": "Human Services", "subsectionCode": "501(c)(3) - Charitable", "income": 4400554903, "revenue": 3804377344, "assets": 4565143729, "url": "https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/530196605" } ```` ### Use Cases - **Grant researchers**: Find organizations by category, size, and location - **Nonprofit benchmarking**: Compare revenue and asset data across similar organizations - **Donors & foundations**: Due diligence research on nonprofit financials - **Journalists**: Investigate nonprofit spending and compensation patterns - **Academic researchers**: Analyze the nonprofit sector at scale - **Compliance professionals**: Verify tax-exempt status and filing history # Actor input Schema ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Search for nonprofits by name (e.g., 'Red Cross', 'Habitat for Humanity').
