## 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.

## 🌿 EPA Toxic Release Inventory Scraper

Whether you're an environmental researcher tracking pollution sources, a compliance officer monitoring facilities, or a data journalist investigating toxic releases in your community, this tool makes it easy to collect structured environmental data from the EPA.

> **The EPA TRI Scraper collects facility records, toxic release quantities, and EPA program registrations. Filter by state and dataset to get environmental compliance data with contacts, coordinates, parent companies, and more.**

### ✨ What Does It Do

- 🏭 **Facility records** - collect TRI facility data with 48+ fields including names, addresses, contacts, and coordinates
- ☣️ **Release quantities** - extract toxic chemical release data reported by facilities across the country
- 📋 **Program registrations** - get EPA program enrollment details for regulated facilities with 50+ fields
- 📍 **Geographic filtering** - narrow results to a specific state using standard 2-letter codes
- 🏢 **Parent company data** - identify corporate ownership behind individual facilities
- 📊 **Multiple datasets** - choose from three different EPA data collections in a single tool

### 🔧 Input

- **Max Items** - how many records to collect (free users get 10 items, paid users up to 1,000,000)
- **Dataset** - which EPA dataset to query: TRI Facilities, Release Quantities, or EPA Program Registrations
- **State** - filter by 2-letter state code (e.g., CA, TX, NY)

```json
{
    "maxItems": 100,
    "dataset": "facilities",
    "state": "CA"
}
````

### 📊 Output

Each record includes detailed environmental compliance fields. Download as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

### ❓ FAQ

🌿 **What is the EPA Toxic Release Inventory?**
The TRI is a program where U.S. industrial facilities report the amounts of toxic chemicals they release into the environment each year. It covers thousands of facilities across all 50 states.

📋 **What's the difference between the three datasets?**
"Facilities" gives you location, contact, and corporate ownership data. "Releases" provides toxic chemical quantities reported. "Programs" shows which EPA regulatory programs each facility participates in.

🗺️ **Can I filter by city or ZIP code?**
Currently, filtering is available by state. You can download state-level data and filter by city or ZIP in your spreadsheet or application.

⏱️ **How long does a run take?**
About 100 records per second. A full state dataset of several thousand facilities typically completes in under a minute.
