## 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.md):

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

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

## Global Demographic Transition Tracker

Demographic transition scoring and aging analytics from 4 international public data sources.

### Overview

Analyzes population aging, fertility decline, and mortality transition across 195+ countries. Provides demographic transition stage scoring (0-100: youth-focused to aging-focused).

### Data Sources

1. **The World Bank** (CC-BY 4.0)
   - Total Population (SP.POP.TOTL)
   - Fertility Rate (SP.DYN.TFRT.IN)
   - Population Ages 65+ (SP.POP.65UP.TO.ZS)
   - Life Expectancy (SP.DYN.LE00.IN)
   - Urban Population % (SP.URB.TOTL.IN.ZS)

2. **Our World in Data** (CC-BY 4.0)
   - Population time series (graceful skip if unavailable)

3. **US CDC National Center for Health Statistics** (Public Domain)
   - Life Expectancy (US only)

4. **UNESCO UIS** (CC-BY-SA 4.0 — **Share-Alike required**)
   - Primary Education Enrollment (Female %)

### Input

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `countryCode` | string | "JP" | ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (e.g., JP, US, DE, NG) |

### Output

```json
{
  "countryCode": "JP",
  "countryName": "Japan",
  "demographicTransitionScore": 85.3,
  "indicators": {
    "totalPopulation": 123456789,
    "fertilityRate": 1.2,
    "populationAges65Plus": 28.5,
    "lifeExpectancy": 84.6,
    "urbanPopulationPercent": 82.1,
    "primaryEnrollmentFemale": 101.2
  },
  "dataAvailability": {

  },
  "successfulSourceCount": 2,
  "timestamp": "2024-04-08T12:34:56.789Z"
}
````

### Demographic Transition Score

**Scale:** 0–100

- **0–20** = Stage 1–2 (High fertility, youth-focused). Example: Niger (NG)
- **20–40** = Stage 2–3 (Declining fertility, youth-focused). Example: Nigeria (NG)
- **40–60** = Stage 3 (Low fertility, transition). Example: Mexico (MX)
- **60–80** = Stage 4 (Very low fertility, aging). Example: South Korea (KR)
- **80–100** = Stage 4–5 (Lowest fertility, highest aging). Example: Japan (JP)

### Pricing

- **Event:** `demographic_query`
- **Price:** $0.14 USD per query
- **Charge:** Only if ≥1 data source succeeds

### Legal Disclaimer

**NOT demographic policy, pension, healthcare, or investment advice.** Historical data aggregation only.

#### Data Sources Attribution

- Data source: The World Bank (CC BY 4.0)
- Data source: Our World in Data (CC BY 4.0)
- Data source: US CDC National Center for Health Statistics
- Data source: UNESCO UIS (CC-BY-SA 4.0 — **Share-Alike required**)

#### Share-Alike Notice (UNESCO)

UNESCO UIS data requires derivative work licensing under CC-BY-SA 4.0. Any derivative publication must apply the same Share-Alike license.

### Examples

#### Japan (aging)

```bash
apify call --input='{"countryCode":"JP"}'
```

#### Nigeria (youth-focused)

```bash
apify call --input='{"countryCode":"NG"}'
```

### Notes

- World Bank data is most comprehensive; always fetches 5 demographic indicators
- OWID provides additional population verification (graceful skip if unavailable)
- CDC data is US-only
- UNESCO data is limited; graceful skip if unavailable
- All APIs implement exponential backoff retry (3 attempts, 1s–8s delay)
- Timeout: 20 seconds per request
- No data caching; real-time retrieval only

// 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 = {
    "countryCode": "JP"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("ntriqpro/global-demographic-transition-tracker").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);
});
