## 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

## UK Charity Commission Register Scraper

Search the official Charity Commission public register extract and export structured UK charity records for prospecting, grants research, due diligence, fundraising analysis, CRM enrichment, and nonprofit market mapping.

### What it extracts

- Charity name, registered charity number, linked charity number, and status
- Registration and removal dates
- Latest income and expenditure
- Address, postcode, phone, email, and website when present in the public extract
- Company registration number, CIO status, insolvency/admin flags, Gift Aid, land flag, and activities
- Official Charity Commission source links and raw source payload

### Why use this actor

The Charity Commission register is a high-intent UK data source for fundraisers, B2B teams selling to nonprofits, grant researchers, compliance teams, and analysts building charity-sector datasets. This actor uses the official public extract rather than scraping fragile search-result pages, so it is designed for repeatable runs and clean downstream automation.

### Example searches

- Cancer charities with public contact details
- Registered charities above a minimum income threshold
- Faith, school, sports, arts, animal welfare, or health-sector charities
- Charities with company registration numbers for KYB enrichment

### Input

- `keywords`: words or phrases to match in name, activities, address, website, or email
- `status`: `Registered`, `Removed`, or `Any`
- `minIncome`: minimum latest income
- `maxResults`: maximum rows to return

### Example Input

```json
{
  "keywords": ["cancer"],
  "status": "Registered",
  "minIncome": 100000,
  "maxResults": 100
}
```

### Output

Each row is one Charity Commission record with normalized fields plus `raw` source data for auditability.

### Responsible Use

Use public charity records for legitimate fundraising, grants research, diligence, enrichment, and nonprofit-sector analysis. Avoid spam, misleading outreach, or decisions that should be checked against the official Charity Commission register.

### Pricing guidance

Recommended launch pricing: $3-$4 per 1,000 returned charities. Raise toward $5-$6 per 1,000 after repeat usage appears because charity lead generation, nonprofit market analysis, and compliance enrichment are recurring workflows.
