## 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?

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

## EPA Facilities Scraper

Pulls Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) facilities by US state through the EPA's
public Envirofacts API. No login, no proxy, no browser.

### Input

| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `state` | string | Required. Two-letter state abbreviation, e.g. `CA`. Default `CA`. |
| `maxItems` | integer | Cap on facilities returned. Default `50`. |

### Output

One row per facility: `triFacilityId`, `facilityName`, `streetAddress`,
`city`, `county`, `state`, `zip`, `epaRegion`, `isClosed`, `latitude`,
`longitude`, `parentCompany`, `foreignParentCompany`, `frsId`,
`epaRegistryId`, `publicContact`, `publicPhone`.

### Notes

- **Coordinates are frequently missing.** Envirofacts carries two pairs,
  `pref_*` and `fac_*`, and both are null on many records. The preferred pair
  wins and the facility pair is the fallback; when neither exists the fields
  are `null` rather than zero, and the run log reports how many rows actually
  have coordinates.
- `fac_closed_ind` is the string `"1"`, not a boolean, and a closed facility
  still appears in the inventory. It is mapped to a real `isClosed` boolean so
  you can filter operating sites.
- The row range in the URL is inclusive on both ends, so `maxItems: 50`
  requests `rows/0:49`.
- Envirofacts is noticeably slower than most public APIs — a few seconds per
  request is normal, and large pulls take proportionally longer.
- TRI covers facilities that report releases under EPCRA; presence in this
  list is a reporting obligation, not by itself evidence of a violation.

# Actor input Schema

## `state` (type: `string`):

Two-letter US state abbreviation, e.g. CA, TX, NY

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Cap on facilities returned. Envirofacts is slow, so large pulls take a while.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "state": "CA",
  "maxItems": 50
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `items` (type: `string`):

Every facility the run returned.

# 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 = {
    "state": "CA"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("naimurhasanrwd/epa-facilities-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);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "state": "CA" }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("naimurhasanrwd/epa-facilities-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}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "state": "CA"
}' |
apify call naimurhasanrwd/epa-facilities-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,naimurhasanrwd/epa-facilities-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).
