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 Scraper Search and extract data from **1.8+ million** US nonprofit organizations using the [ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer](https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/) API. Get IRS 990 tax filing data including revenue, expenses, assets, EIN numbers, NTEE classification codes, and detailed financial breakdowns for any US nonprofit. ### What data can you extract? For each nonprofit organization, you get: | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `name` | Organization name | | `ein` | Employer Identification Number | | `city` | City | | `state` | US state code | | `nteeCode` | NTEE classification code | | `category` | Human-readable category (e.g., "Education", "Health Care") | | `totalRevenue` | Total revenue from latest filing | | `totalExpenses` | Total functional expenses | | `totalAssets` | Total assets at end of year | | `taxPeriod` | Tax period of latest filing | | `filingType` | Form type (990, 990-EZ, 990-PF) | | `url` | ProPublica profile URL | #### With "Scrape Full 990 Details" enabled: | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `address` | Street address | | `zipcode` | ZIP code | | `subsectionCode` | IRS subsection code | | `rulingDate` | Tax-exempt ruling date | | `totalLiabilities` | Total liabilities | | `netAssets` | Net assets / fund balances | | `totalContributions` | Total contributions and grants | | `programRevenue` | Total program service revenue | | `investmentIncome` | Investment income | | `officerCompensation` | Officer compensation | | `otherSalaries` | Other salaries and wages | | `pdfUrl` | Link to 990 filing PDF | | `filingCount` | Number of available filings | | `taxPeriodYear` | Tax period year | ### Input options - **Search Queries** - Names, EINs (e.g., "53-0196605"), or keywords. Each query runs separately. - **Max Listings Per Query** - Limit results per query (default: 100, set 0 for unlimited). - **Scrape Full 990 Details** - Fetch detailed financial data per organization (slower). - **State Filter** - Two-letter state code to filter results (e.g., "CA", "NY"). - **Proxy Configuration** - Usually not needed; ProPublica API is public. ### Example input ```json { "searchQueries": ["habitat for humanity", "53-0196605"], "maxListings": 50, "scrapeDetails": true, "state": "CA" } ```` ### Use cases - **Grant research** - Find nonprofits by category and analyze their financial health - **Due diligence** - Verify nonprofit status and review tax filings - **Market analysis** - Compare nonprofits by revenue, assets, and expenses in a sector - **Compliance** - Look up EINs and verify tax-exempt status - **Journalism** - Research nonprofit finances and compensation data - **Academic research** - Bulk download nonprofit financial data by state or category ### Tips - Use **EIN lookups** (e.g., "53-0196605") for direct organization data without search - Enable **Scrape Full 990 Details** only when you need financial breakdowns - it's slower due to per-org API calls - The **State Filter** works with search queries to narrow results geographically - Results are deduplicated by EIN across multiple queries - ProPublica data covers IRS filings from 2012 onward ### Data source All data comes from the [ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer API](https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/api/), which aggregates IRS Exempt Organization data, Form 990 filings, and federal audit records. No authentication required. # Actor input Schema ## `searchQueries` (type: `array`): Nonprofit names, EINs (e.g. '53-0196605'), or keywords to search. Each query runs a separate search. ## `maxListings` (type: `integer`): Maximum nonprofits to return per search query. Set 0 for unlimited. ## `scrapeDetails` (type: `boolean`): Fetch detailed IRS 990 filing data (revenue breakdowns, compensation, liabilities). Slower due to per-org API calls. ## `state` (type: `string`): Filter by US state abbreviation (e.g. 'CA', 'NY', 'TX'). Leave empty for all states. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. Usually not needed since ProPublica API is public. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQueries": [ "red cross" ], "maxListings": 100, "scrapeDetails": false, "state": "", "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `dataset` (type: `string`): No description # 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 '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("lulzasaur/propublica-nonprofits-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); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
