## 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

## Oregon CCB Contractor License Search - OR Contractor Lookup

Search **active Oregon Construction Contractors Board (CCB) licenses** from the official data.oregon.gov publication (about 45k active licenses). Look up a contractor by name or license number, or pull lead lists by city, county, ZIP, endorsement, and registration date.

Each result is one license and includes:

- license number, business name, and **responsible managing individual (RMI)**
- every endorsement (Residential General, Commercial Specialty Level 2, Home Inspector, Lead-Based Paint...)
- original registration and expiration dates, exempt/nonexempt status
- address, county, **phone**, and fax
- **bond** company, amount, and expiration
- **liability insurance** company, amount, and expiration

Results are newest registration first, so a blank run returns the most recently licensed contractors. No API key. Pricing: **$0.002 per license + $0.0001 start**.

```json
{ "counties": ["Multnomah", "Washington"], "endorsements": ["Residential General Contractor"], "registeredAfter": "2026-10-01", "maxResults": 200 }
```

```json
{ "licenseNumbers": ["206683"], "names": ["Bennett Bros"] }
```

### Use cases

Contractor verification before hiring, insurance and surety prospecting (expiring policies), building-supply and home-services lead generation, and new-contractor outreach.

### Limits

The source lists **active** licenses only, so a missing license may be expired, suspended, or never issued. Confirm with the [CCB license search](https://search.ccb.state.or.us/search/). Names are matched as substrings. A few source rows carry obviously wrong future registration dates; the blank newest-first feed skips those.

# 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {

};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("pink_comic/oregon-ccb-contractor-license-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) => {

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,pink_comic/oregon-ccb-contractor-license-search"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
