# Roofing permits issued in Chicago

**Use case:** 

Roofing work permitted in Chicago since June 2026 above $20,000 of declared cost. A permit just issued is a job about to start: the address is known, the budget declared, the contractor often named — but materials and subcontractors are not yet chosen. A list of approved work, not a directory of finished projects.

## Input

```json
{
  "cities": [
    "CHI"
  ],
  "issuedAfter": "2026-06-01",
  "minValue": 20000,
  "query": "roof",
  "permitType": "",
  "includeRaw": false,
  "maxItems": 100
}
```

## Output

```json

  "issuedDate": {
    "label": "Issued",
    "format": "string"
  },

## 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.
This Task's input is already configured above — use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
