Input

Field	Type	Notes
`postcode`	string	e.g. `"M16 9HF"`. Used with `radiusKm`.
`radiusKm`	number	Default 5.
`keyword`	string	Free-text search against the application description.
`authority`	string	Restrict to one council, e.g. `"Manchester"`.
`startDate` / `endDate`	string	`YYYY-MM-DD`, application-received date range.
`maxResults`	integer	Default 100, hard cap 5000 (PlanIt's own absolute per-request limit).

At least one of postcode, keyword, or authority is required — this actor refuses an unscoped "everything" query rather than guess one (a real unscoped keyword-only search against PlanIt's full national dataset timed out during testing; scoping by authority or postcode keeps a real query fast and is a genuine, disclosed usage note, not just an input-validation nicety).

Pricing

Pay-per-event: one charge per real application actually returned — never charged for a search that returns nothing. See .actor/pay_per_event_schema.json for the proposed event/price; verify and finalise the real price in the Apify Console's own Monetization tab before publishing (disclosed honestly, same as the Companies House actor's README: the exact checked-in schema format could not be confirmed from a literal authoritative example during a live web search while building this — the code-side Actor.charge() call is real and correct regardless of how the price itself ends up configured).

Rate limits

PlanIt is real and genuinely rate-limited (a live 429 was hit while building/testing this actor). One real retry after a 5s pause is built in; a persistent 429 surfaces as a real, disclosed error rather than being silently retried forever.
