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 ## NJ UCC Lien Search - Debtor & Secured Party Filings Search New Jersey Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) filings directly from the NJ Secretary of State portal. Find active and lapsed liens by organization name, individual debtor name, or filing number. Optionally enrich results with business entity data from the NJ Division of Revenue. ### What data do you get? Each result includes: | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | **debtorName** | Organization or individual debtor name | | **city** | City of the debtor | | **state** | State (NJ) | | **filingNumber** | Official NJ UCC filing number | | **filingStatus** | Active, Lapsed, or other status | | **isActive** | Whether the filing is currently active | | **filingDate** | Date the UCC filing was made | | **lapseDate** | Computed lapse date (filing date + 5 years) | | **daysSinceFiling** | Number of days since the filing was made | | **daysUntilLapse** | Days until lapse (negative if already lapsed) | | **pageCount** | Number of document pages | | **entityType** | Business entity type from NJ registry (e.g. Domestic Profit Corporation, LLC) | | **entityTypeCode** | Entity type code (e.g. DP, LLC, FPC) | | **incorporatedDate** | Incorporation/formation date from NJ registry | | **entityId** | NJ 10-digit business entity ID | Entity fields are populated when **Enrich with Business Entity Data** is enabled (default: on). The actor cross-references each debtor name against the NJ Division of Revenue business entity database. ### Use cases - **Due diligence** -- Check for existing liens before extending credit - **KYC/compliance** -- Verify UCC filings as part of know-your-customer processes - **Legal research** -- Find all liens filed against a debtor - **Sales intelligence** -- Identify companies with secured financing (equipment loans, factoring, etc.) - **Portfolio monitoring** -- Track filing status changes and lapse dates for collateral management - **Lead generation** -- Find businesses with active UCC filings, filter by entity type, incorporation date, and filing recency ### How to use 1. **Enter a search query** -- Organization name (e.g. "JPMorgan"), individual last name, or filing number 2. **Select search type** -- Organization, Individual, or Filing Number 3. **Enable enrichment** -- Toggle "Enrich with Business Entity Data" for entity type and incorporation info 4. **Run the actor** -- Results are returned in the Output tab #### Example searches - Search `JPMorgan` as Organization to find all JPMorgan Chase UCC filings in NJ - Search `Construction` as Organization with enrichment to see entity types and incorporation dates - Search `SMITH` as Individual to find UCC filings with individual debtor "Smith" - Toggle **Include Lapsed Filings** to see expired liens ### Output formats Export results as JSON, CSV, Excel, or access via API. Integrate with your CRM, compliance system, or data pipeline. ### Pricing Pay per result. No subscription required. Start fee: $0.0001 per run. ### Data source Filing data comes from the [NJ Division of Revenue UCC search portal](https://www.njportal.com/ucc/search/noncertifiedsearch.aspx). Business entity enrichment data comes from the [NJ Business Name Search](https://www.njportal.com/DOR/BusinessNameSearch). # Actor input Schema ## `query` (type: `string`): Enter an organization name (e.g. "JPMorgan"), individual last name, or filing number. The query is used based on the Search Type selected below. ## `searchType` (type: `string`): Type of UCC search to perform. ## `includeLapsed` (type: `boolean`): Include filings that have lapsed (expired). Default is active filings only. ## `enrichWithBusinessData` (type: `boolean`): Cross-reference debtor names against the NJ Division of Revenue business entity database to add entity type (LLC, Corp, etc.), incorporation date, and entity ID. Slower but provides richer output. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of filing results to return. Set to 0 for unlimited. ## Actor input object example ```json { "query": "JPMorgan", "searchType": "organization", "includeLapsed": false, "enrichWithBusinessData": true, "maxResults": 500 } ```` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "query": "JPMorgan", "searchType": "organization", "maxResults": 500 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("pink_comic/nj-ucc-lien-search").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
