## 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?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

# README

## Bank Financial Lookup — FDIC Institution Data

Look up FDIC-insured banks by name or state and get total assets,
deposits, equity, charter type, and status — straight from FDIC's own
institution database.

Built for lenders, fintechs doing partner due diligence, journalists,
and anyone doing competitive banking research who needs a bank's basic
financial profile without digging through call reports by hand.

### Input

```json
{
  "name": "Wells Fargo",
  "state": "",
  "activeOnly": true,
  "maxResults": 25
}
```

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `name` | string (optional) | Full or partial bank name to search for. |
| `state` | string (optional) | Two-letter US state code to limit to banks headquartered there. |
| `activeOnly` | boolean | Exclude closed, merged, or renamed institutions. Default `true`. |
| `maxResults` | number | Max banks to return, largest total assets first. Default `25`, max `100`. |

Leave both `name` and `state` blank to get the largest FDIC-insured
banks nationwide by total assets.

### Output

One record per bank:

```json
{
  "name": "Wells Fargo Bank, National Association",
  "cert": 3511,
  "city": "Sioux Falls",
  "state": "SD",
  "zip": "57104",
  "active": true,
  "bankClass": "N",
  "charterType": "1",
  "establishedDate": "01/01/1870",
  "website": "www.wellsfargo.com",
  "totalAssetsThousandsUsd": 1852239000,
  "totalDepositsThousandsUsd": 1516982000,
  "totalEquityThousandsUsd": 173016000,
  "asOfDate": "03/31/2026"
}
```

Asset/deposit/equity figures are in **thousands of USD**, matching
FDIC's own reporting convention — divide by 1,000,000 for billions.

A search with no matches returns no items but is still billed once for
the search.

### How it works

Direct calls to the official [FDIC BankFind
API](https://banks.data.fdic.gov/docs/) (`api.fdic.gov`) — no proxy, no
key, no scraping. Public U.S. government data, drawn from banks'
quarterly call reports (`asOfDate` shows how current the financials
are).

### Pricing note

Billed per **search**, not per bank returned — one charge whether the
search returns 0 banks or 100.

# 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("m_ctim/bank-financial-lookup").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);
});

# 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("m_ctim/bank-financial-lookup").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 '{}' |
apify call m_ctim/bank-financial-lookup --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,m_ctim/bank-financial-lookup"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
