| 🎯 Target Audience | 💡 Primary Use Cases |

📋 What the LA Business Licenses Scraper does
- Pulls live records from the official open-data API in batches of up to 1,000 rows per request
- Lets you filter by the source's own native columns before download (no post-processing required)
- Returns one normalized JSON row per record with stable, predictable field names
- Pushes results to a clean Apify dataset that exports to CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML
- Auto-paginates so you can pull thousands of records in one run
💡 Why it matters: government open-data portals throttle, rate-limit, and break under heavy load. This actor wraps the official endpoint, handles pagination, normalizes nulls, and gives you a stable schema even when the source UI rearranges its dashboard.
📊 Data fields
Each record includes: business_name, city, council_district, dba_name, imageUrl, location_account, location_description, location_end_date, location_start_date, mailing_address, mailing_city, mailing_zip_code, naics, primary_naics_description, results, scrapedAt, sourceUrl, street_address, title, url, zip_code. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
🚀 How to use
