## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

# README

## FAA Airworthiness Directives + NASA ASRS Safety API

FAA airworthiness directives and NASA ASRS aviation-safety public records — directives, aircraft and safety reports.

> Public product-safety records — for monitoring, not a safety determination.

### ⏰ Run this as a monitoring subscription (recommended)
Regulatory data is monitoring data. Schedule a weekly sweep (`0 8 * * 1`) and catch new records as they post — an always-on official-records feed.

### 📊 What you get
Clean JSON, one record per record (full output has 8 fields):

- `record_type` — Record type
- `ad_number` — Ad number
- `subject` — Subject
- `manufacturer` — Manufacturer
- `model` — Model
- `effective_date` — Effective date
- `summary` — Summary
- `source_url` — Source url

**Pricing:** Pay-Per-Event; see the Pricing tab.

### 🤖 Use with AI agents
Point Claude, the OpenAI Agents SDK, an n8n flow or any MCP-aware client at it and pull official records on demand.

**Agentic payments (x402):** Supports agentic payment via x402 — agents can call this actor with USDC, no API key required.

# Actor input Schema

## `aircraft_make` (type: `string`):

Aircraft manufacturer name to search Airworthiness Directives and ASRS reports for. Federal Register indexes by the manufacturer's legal name as it appears in AD titles. Examples: `Boeing`, `Airbus`, `Bombardier`, `Cessna`, `Embraer`, `Gulfstream`, `Sikorsky`, `Robinson`. Leave blank to default to Boeing. Case-insensitive; FAA stores both `The Boeing Company` and `Boeing` — substring match handles both.
## `aircraft_model` (type: `string`):

Aircraft model designation. Examples for Boeing: `737`, `747`, `757`, `767`, `777`, `787`, `737 MAX`. Airbus: `A320`, `A330`, `A350`, `A380`. Note that ADs commonly cover model families (e.g., AD for Boeing 737-700, -800, -900 is captured by searching `737`). The search is a substring match on the AD title and abstract.
## `directive_type` (type: `string`):

Which records to include. `emergency_ad` = Emergency Airworthiness Directives only (urgent flight-safety actions, shortened comment periods). `ad` = standard Airworthiness Directives only. `asrs_report` = NASA Aviation Safety Reporting System voluntary safety reports only (subject to ASRS query-interface limitations — see README). `all` = include both ADs and ASRS reports.
## `months_back` (type: `integer`):

How many months back from today to include AD publication dates and ASRS report dates. Default 24 months (2-year compliance window — typical aviation-insurance underwriting horizon). For class-action discovery on older incidents, set to 60-120 months.
## `severity` (type: `string`):

Filter by inferred severity. `high` = Emergency ADs + ADs mentioning fatality/crash/inflight failure/fire/explosion/uncontained engine failure. `medium` = ADs mentioning inspection/corrective action/airworthiness limitation. `low` = ADs mentioning labeling/documentation/minor non-compliance. `all` = no severity filter. Classification is regex-based on the AD action + abstract.
## `max_records` (type: `integer`):

Hard cap on records pushed to the dataset (and metered for the per-record billing event). Records are returned newest-first by publication date / report date. Each AD or ASRS record is billed at the per-event proposed price. Default 50 = a typical aviation-compliance scan batch.
