# Check Austin addresses for expired-but-open permits

**Use case:** 

Checks each Austin, TX street address against 10 years of City of Austin permits and returns one verdict row per address: permit count, open permits, permits issued but never finaled, and whether any is past its expiry date with no final inspection. Owner and applicant names are not returned. Used by buyers, agents, title officers and insurers. Example checks 3 non-residential addresses.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

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 full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/maydit/building-permit-address-lookup.md

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`).
