## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

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 examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

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`).

# README

## FDIC Banks Scraper

Scrape **U.S. banks and financial institutions** from the **FDIC BankFind API** — **name, location, assets, deposits, class, active status, offices, and detail links**. Built on the **official FDIC BankFind API**: no API key or setup needed.

Filter by state and name, get a clean, dated list of institutions sorted by asset size — ready to export to CSV, Excel, or JSON.

### Features

- **Official, reliable source** — reads the public FDIC BankFind API.
- **Every institution** — active or historical, filtered by state and name.
- **Financials** — total assets and deposits (in $ thousands), reported by the FDIC.
- **Detail links** — each row links straight to the institution page on BankFind.

### Use cases

- **Banking & fintech research** — build datasets of institutions by state, class, or size.
- **Market intelligence** — see the biggest banks in a state and their deposit base.
- **Lead lists** — filter active institutions by geography.
- **Compliance & analysis** — track institution status, class, and establishment dates.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `states` | string\[] | 2-letter state codes (CA, NY, TX). Empty = all US. |
| `nameSearch` | string | Institution name keyword. |
| `activeOnly` | boolean | Only currently active institutions. Default `true`. |
| `maxItems` | integer | Max institutions. Default 200. |

#### Example

```json
{
  "states": ["CA", "NY"],
  "activeOnly": true,
  "maxItems": 200
}
```

}
```

Download the dataset as **JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML**, or pull it via the Apify API.

### Pricing

Pay-per-event: **$0.01 per run start** (per GB of run memory) plus **$0.50 per 1,000 institutions**. You only pay for institutions actually returned. See the **Pricing** tab for current rates.

### FAQ

**Do I need an API key?**
No. The FDIC BankFind API is public and free; this Actor packages it into clean, filtered rows with detail links.

**What units are the financials in?**
Assets and deposits are reported in **thousands of U.S. dollars**, as published by the FDIC.

**Can I list every institution?**
Yes — leave `states` and `nameSearch` empty. Results are sorted by asset size (largest first).

**What's a CERT number?**
The FDIC certificate number — a unique identifier for each insured institution.

### Disclaimer

This Actor uses the **public U.S. FDIC BankFind API**. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the FDIC or any federal agency. The data is public; you are responsible for how you use it.

# 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 = {
    "states": [
        "CA"
    ],
    "maxItems": 200
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("muzafferkadir/fdic-banks-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);
});

run_input = {
    "states": ["CA"],
    "maxItems": 200,
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("muzafferkadir/fdic-banks-scraper").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}")

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "states": [
    "CA"
  ],
  "maxItems": 200
}' |
apify call muzafferkadir/fdic-banks-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,muzafferkadir/fdic-banks-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
