# Monitor new roofing permits in Miami-Dade County, FL daily

**Use case:** 

Daily feed of new re-roof and roof-repair permits in Miami-Dade County, FL from the county's open-data portal. Each run reads the last 7 days and emits only permits earlier runs have not seen, flagged isNew, with contractor, estimated cost, address and source link; the type filter leaves out roof-mounted solar. The first run writes the baseline; schedule it and add a webhook for roofing leads.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

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 full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/owlabee/building-permits-scraper.md

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`).
