## Pricing

from $2.55 / 1,000 agenda items

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower 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

## City Council Agenda & Legislation Monitor (Legistar)

**Use it to** get alerts when US city councils and county boards put your keywords on an agenda, weeks before a vote or an RFP.

**Cost:** $3 per 1,000 agenda items ($2 per 1,000 meetings in meetings mode; agenda PDF text is $0.01 per meeting and off by default). A default run (50 items) costs about $0.15.

**Why this one**

- **Official Legistar Web API**, not HTML scraping, across 153 active jurisdictions in 33 states. Pick by city or by state.
- **Monitoring mode.** `onlyNew` returns only items you have not received before, so you pay only for new items.
- **Clean rows.** Whole-word keyword matching with a snippet, procedural boilerplate dropped, duplicate legislation collapsed, and links to every attachment.

**Sample output** (real run, Seattle, Oct 2026):

| jurisdiction | bodyName | meetingDate | title | matterType |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| City of Seattle | Select Budget Committee | 2026-10-13 | Introduction and Overview | Information Item (Inf) |
| City of Seattle | Select Budget Committee | 2026-10-13 | General Fund (GF) Balancing and Sustainability Analysis | Information Item (Inf) |
| City of Seattle | Select Budget Committee | 2026-10-13 | Voluntary Separation | Information Item (Inf) |

Track what US city councils, county boards and their committees will discuss and what they decided: agenda items, legislation, votes, staff reports and PDF attachments from **153 active US jurisdictions in 33 states** (plus any other Legistar client you name). Built on the **official public Legistar Web API**, so it needs no proxies or browser and breaks far less often than scrapers of the HTML sites.

Set **keywords** such as `data center`, `cybersecurity` or `RFP` and run it daily with **Only new records** turned on. You get alerts weeks before an RFP is posted, and each row is clean, structured JSON ready for your CRM, Slack, a spreadsheet or a RAG pipeline.

### What you get

- **Agenda items** with title, file number, legislation type and status, action taken, pass/fail result, mover and seconder, cleaned agenda notes, and direct links to the legislation page and every attachment (staff reports, contracts, presentations).
- **Meetings** with body, date, time, location, agenda and minutes status, agenda/minutes PDF links and the meeting page. Optionally includes the **full text of the agenda PDF** for LLM summarisation or RAG.
- **Keyword alerts**: whole-word, case-insensitive matching (plurals included) across titles, notes, actions and attachment names, with a snippet showing where the match was found.
- **Monitoring mode** (`onlyNew`): the Actor remembers what it already delivered, so a scheduled run returns only new items, and you only pay for new items.
- **Coverage built in**: pick jurisdictions by slug, by state (`["CA","TX"]`), or monitor all of them at once.
- **Clean data**: procedural rows (roll call, adjournment, public-comment boilerplate) are dropped by default, duplicate listings of the same legislation are collapsed, and RTF/HTML notes are converted to plain text.

### Who uses it

| Use case | Example |
|---|---|
| **GovTech / SLED sales signals** | Alert reps when a county board discusses "cybersecurity", "body cameras", "ERP replacement" or "Request for Proposals", before the bid is posted. |
| **AI agents & RAG** | Feed agents structured local-government decisions; the `meetings` mode with agenda text gives LLM-ready context with source links. |
| **Real estate & energy developers** | Watch for rezoning, data-center moratoriums, battery storage, short-term rental rules and annexations. |
| **Public affairs, lobbying, advocacy** | Track ordinances and votes across many cities from one feed. |
| **Journalists & researchers** | Build datasets of council actions with links to the primary documents. |

### Input

| Field | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| `clients` | Legistar client slugs or URLs, e.g. `seattle`, `oakland`, `denver`, `cook-county`, `kingcounty`, `lacounty` | `seattle, oakland, denver` |
| `states` | Add every active jurisdiction in these states | – |
| `allRegistryClients` | Monitor all ~150 active jurisdictions | `false` |
| `daysBack` / `daysAhead` | Date window around today (agendas are typically posted 3–10 days ahead) | 7 / 14 |
| `startDate` / `endDate` | Absolute date window (overrides the above) | – |
| `keywords` | Only return items that mention any of these words or phrases | – |
| `bodyNameContains` | Filter by body, e.g. `council`, `planning`, `finance` | – |
| `outputType` | `agendaItems` (one row per item) or `meetings` (one row per meeting) | `agendaItems` |
| `extractAgendaText` | Add agenda PDF text (meetings mode) | `false` |
| `onlyNew` + `stateKey` | Monitoring memory across runs | `false` |
| `maxItems` | Hard cap on rows written (cost control). The default keeps a first run around $0.15; raise it for more cities or longer ranges. On the default demo cities (seattle, oakland, denver) the cap is shared evenly across the cities. | 50 |
| `clientTokens` | Tokens for the few cities that require one (e.g. `nyc`, `phila`) | – |

Example: daily data-center and cybersecurity alerts for all of California:

```json
{
  "states": ["CA"],
  "keywords": ["data center", "cybersecurity", "request for proposals"],
  "daysBack": 1,

### Pricing (pay per event)

| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| Agenda item delivered | **$0.003** ($3 per 1,000) |
| Meeting delivered (meetings mode) | **$0.002** |
| Agenda PDF converted to text | **$0.01** per meeting (not charged when the PDF has no extractable text, e.g. a scan) |

You never pay for procedural rows, duplicates, or records you already received in monitoring mode. Typical costs:

- **A default run** (`maxItems` 50): at most about $0.15.
- **One city, one month of agendas**: about 150 items (set `maxItems` to 150 or more), roughly $0.45.
- **Keyword alerts across all 153 jurisdictions**: in a test run, five keywords over a 12-day window matched 70 items, about $0.21. With `onlyNew` on, daily runs bill only items you haven't received yet.

Use `maxItems` and the run's maximum-charge setting to cap spend.

### FAQ

**Is this legal? Is it scraping?** The Actor reads Legistar's official public Web API, which Granicus provides so the public can reuse published agendas and legislation. It only returns items the jurisdiction has marked as public. There is no login, no CAPTCHA and no proxy. Please respect each jurisdiction's terms and use the data responsibly.

**Does it include personal data?** It returns government records. These include the names of officials acting in their public role (for example, the mover and seconder of a motion) and any names that appear in public agenda titles, such as appointments to commissions. It does not enrich or profile individuals.

**My city isn't in the list.** If your city uses Legistar (its site looks like `https://<name>.legistar.com`), just put `<name>` in `clients`. If it uses a different platform (Granicus, PrimeGov, CivicClerk, BoardDocs), let us know through the Issues tab; those platforms are on the roadmap.

**Why did a city return nothing?** Some cities publish agendas only a few days before the meeting, so widen `daysAhead`. A few (e.g. `nyc`, `phila`) require a free API token from the city; others (e.g. Chicago, Austin, San Francisco) have moved off the Legistar API. The run summary in the key-value store (`OUTPUT`) lists errors for each jurisdiction.

**How fresh is the data?** It is live: every run queries the API directly. A full run across all 153 jurisdictions takes about 2 minutes.

**Can I get the full text of staff reports?** Every attachment URL is included. `extractAgendaText` adds the agenda PDF text; text extraction for attachments is on the roadmap.

# Actor input Schema

## `clients` (type: `array`):

Legistar client names: the subdomain of <client>.legistar.com, e.g. seattle, oakland, denver, boston, cook-county, kingcounty, lacounty. A full https://<client>.legistar.com URL also works. See the README for the 150+ verified jurisdictions.

## `states` (type: `array`):

Two-letter US state codes (e.g. CA, TX, FL). Adds all active jurisdictions from the built-in registry for those states.

## `allRegistryClients` (type: `boolean`):

Run across every active jurisdiction in the built-in registry. Best combined with keywords and onlyNew on a daily schedule.

## `daysBack` (type: `integer`):

Include meetings from this many days before today. Ignored if startDate is set.

## `daysAhead` (type: `integer`):

Include scheduled meetings up to this many days after today (agendas are usually published 3-10 days ahead). Ignored if endDate is set.

## `startDate` (type: `string`):

YYYY-MM-DD. Overrides daysBack.

## `endDate` (type: `string`):

YYYY-MM-DD. Overrides daysAhead.

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Only return agenda items mentioning any of these words or phrases (case-insensitive; matched against title, matter type, notes, action text and attachment names). Example: data center, cybersecurity, RFP, rezoning, short-term rental. Leave empty to return everything.

## `bodyNameContains` (type: `string`):

Case-insensitive filter on the meeting body, e.g. 'council', 'planning', 'finance'.

## `outputType` (type: `string`):

agendaItems = one row per agenda item (best for alerts, lead gen, RAG); meetings = one row per meeting (calendar sync, agenda PDF text).

## `includeProceduralItems` (type: `boolean`):

Also return rows with no legislation attached (roll call, section headers, adjournment). Off by default to keep results useful and cheaper.

## `dedupeMatters` (type: `boolean`):

Some jurisdictions publish the same legislation on two concurrent meetings the same day (e.g. Council + Successor Agency). Keep only the first listing per matter per day.

## `extractAgendaText` (type: `boolean`):

Download each meeting's agenda PDF and add its text (for RAG / LLM summarisation). Charged as a separate 'agenda-text' event.

## `maxTextChars` (type: `integer`):

Truncate extracted agenda text to this many characters per meeting.

## `onlyNew` (type: `boolean`):

Remember what earlier runs delivered (in a named key-value store) and only output items you have not received before. Use with a schedule.

## `stateKey` (type: `string`):

Separate memory for different monitors when onlyNew is on (letters, numbers, dashes).

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

Hard cap on rows written (cost control). The default of 50 keeps a first run around $0.15 at $0.003 per agenda item; raise it for wider date ranges or more cities.

## `clientTokens` (type: `object`):

A few jurisdictions (e.g. nyc, phila) require a free token issued by that city. Map client slug to token: {"nyc": "..."}.
