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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Global Education Investment Tracker Real-time aggregation of 4 international education and research data sources with education ROI scoring. ### Purpose This Actor analyzes global education investment by combining data from: - **UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS)** - Education expenditure and financing - **The World Bank Education Indicators** - Enrollment rates, literacy, spending metrics - **OpenAlex** - Academic research output by institution and country - **USAspending.gov** - US federal education grants and expenditures Produces a single **Education ROI Score (0-100)** combining: 1. Research Output Intensity (papers per capita) 2. Education Access (enrollment rates across primary, secondary, tertiary) 3. Investment Volume (public education spending) ### Input #### Required - **countryCode** (string) — Two-letter ISO country code (e.g., `US`, `KR`, `GB`) ### Output ```json { "query": { "countryCode": "US" }, "unesco": { "educationSpendPctGDP": null, "perStudentSpend": null, "rawDataAvailable": true }, "worldBank": { "educationSpendPctGDP": 5.8, "tertiaryEnrollment": 88.2, "primaryEnrollment": 99.5, "adultLiteracy": null, "secondaryEnrollment": 97.1 }, "openalex": { "totalPapers": 1245000, "topInstitutions": [ { "name": "Harvard University", "papers": 18500 }, { "name": "MIT", "papers": 12300 } ], "papersPerCapita": 3.7 }, "usaspendingEdu": { "topGrants": [ { "recipient": "University of California", "amountUsd": 450000000 }, { "recipient": "Stanford University", "amountUsd": 320000000 } ], "totalGrantsUsd": 24500000000 }, "educationRoiScore": 78, "sources": [...], "disclaimer": "...", "timestamp": "2024-12-15T10:30:00Z" } ```` ### Features - **4 APIs in parallel** (Promise.allSettled for graceful failure) - **Share-Alike attribution** for UNESCO UIS CC-BY-SA 4.0 data - **Country-specific filtering** (e.g., USAspending data US-only) - **Composite ROI scoring** combining research, access, and investment - **Real-time data** — no caching, fresh on each run - **Pay-per-event pricing** — $0.13 per education query ### ⚠️ Legal Disclaimer This Actor aggregates publicly available global education and research data from: - UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) - CC-BY-SA 4.0 (Share-Alike required) - The World Bank Education Indicators (CC-BY 4.0) - OpenAlex (CC0 - Public Domain) - USAspending.gov (CC0 - Public Domain) **Important — Share-Alike Notice**: This Actor's output includes UNESCO UIS data licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0.
