## 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

## Washington CPA License Monitor: BoA Status Alerts

Watch named **Washington State Board of Accountancy** CPA **Credential Numbers** against the official `data.wa.gov` Socrata dataset [`6du3-3h9e`](https://data.wa.gov/Licenses-Permits-and-Inspections/Washington-State-Certified-Public-Accountants/6du3-3h9e).

**Who this is for:** CPA firms and HR teams tracking staff licences, peer-review and quality-control partners, lenders and insurers relying on CPA attestations, and accounting-staffing agencies. The recurring job: **tell me when a Washington CPA on my list lapses, is suspended or revoked, or gets a board order.**

### Quick start

1. Put your WA Board of Accountancy credential numbers in `credentialNumbers` (example: `50294`).
2. Set `sourceMode` = **live**.
3. Save as an Actor Task and schedule it daily or weekly.
4. **First run vs later runs:** run 1 stores a baseline for each key (no change events, no product charge). Run 2+ emits only real changes. Keep the same Task so the baseline persists.

Default `sourceMode=fixture` is a **free health check** (one non-billable `RUN_STATUS` row), not product data. You pay $0.02 only per delivered unique change event; quiet books cost only the platform start fee.

Billable events (PPE `wa-boa-cpa-credential-status-event-delivered` @ $0.02):

- `APPEARED` / `DROPPED`
- `STATUS_CHANGED` (Licensed / Lapsed / Retired / Inactive / Suspended / Revoked / …)
- Attribute changes (name / location / expires / board_order) when `signalGroups` includes `attributes`

Non-billable: `RUN_STATUS` (`FIXTURE_HEALTH`, `MONITOR_IDLE`, `CATCHUP_COMPLETE`, `HEALTH_OK`). Quiet books stay free.

**Scope:** a watchlist monitor, not a bulk dump. You are billed per delivered change on your own keys, never per national row.

### Input

- `credentialNumbers` — list of Credential Numbers (aliases: `licenseNumbers`, `licenses`, `credentials`)
- `sourceMode` — `fixture` | `live`
- `signalGroups` — `directory`, `status`, `attributes`

### Source

- Official Socrata: `https://data.wa.gov/resource/6du3-3h9e.json`
- Durable key: `number` (Credential Number), 51,542 / 51,542 unique
- Cadence honesty: data.wa.gov / Board of Accountancy republish

# Actor input Schema

## `credentialNumbers` (type: `array`):

Washington State Board of Accountancy Credential Numbers (field number on data.wa.gov/6du3-3h9e) to monitor.

Not a statewide dump — only IDs on the book are evaluated.

## `licenseNumbers` (type: `array`):

Alias of credentialNumbers.

## `licenses` (type: `array`):

Alias of credentialNumbers.

## `licenseNos` (type: `array`):

Alias of credentialNumbers.

## `credentials` (type: `array`):

Alias of credentialNumbers.

directory = APPEARED/DROPPED; status = STATUS_CHANGED; attributes = name / location / expires / board_order changes.

## `maxRunSeconds` (type: `integer`):

Hard run budget in seconds.

## `maxEvents` (type: `integer`):

Max billable change events to deliver this run.

## `resumeFromCheckpoint` (type: `boolean`):

Resume entity baselines and seen event UIDs from the actor key-value store.

## `sourceMode` (type: `string`):

fixture = offline fixtures (FIXTURE_HEALTH / demo). live = official data.wa.gov / WA Board of Accountancy Socrata.

## `emitFixtureDemoEvents` (type: `boolean`):

When sourceMode=fixture, emit CATCHUP APPEARED/DROPPED/STATUS_CHANGED demo events (charges in cloud).

## `asOfHint` (type: `string`):

```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("plym-actor-factory/us-wa-boa-cpa-credential-number-portfolio-status-monitor").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) => {

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call plym-actor-factory/us-wa-boa-cpa-credential-number-portfolio-status-monitor --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,plym-actor-factory/us-wa-boa-cpa-credential-number-portfolio-status-monitor"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
