## 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

## Orleans Parish Assessor Records

Search Orleans Parish Assessor records by property address, owner name, parcel number, tax bill number, or Beacon assessor key.

RecordsDB returns source-backed property details, including parcel identifiers, owner name, physical address, assessment values, land and building area, tax bill number, and official source links.

### How to Search

Enter one or more values in Search queries.

Examples:

- Address: `156 MILLAUDON ST`
- Owner name: `EXAMPLE PROPERTY OWNER LLC`
- Parcel number: `41027513`
- Tax bill number: `716100709`
- Beacon assessor key: `41027513`

### Result Selection

For each search query, the Actor saves the best matching Orleans Parish Assessor record returned by RecordsDB.

This keeps output to one resolved record per query when a close match is found. If RecordsDB returns candidate records but none closely match the submitted query, the Actor returns `not_found` for that query.

### Maximum Results Per Search

Maximum results per search controls how many candidate records RecordsDB may return for matching and ranking.

Recommended value: `20`.

The Actor still saves only the best matching record for each query.

### Wait for Results

Keep Wait for results enabled.

RecordsDB may need time to retrieve records that have not been collected previously.

Recommended settings:

- Maximum wait time: `360` seconds
- Retry delay: `30` seconds
- Max concurrent queries: `2`

### Concurrency

This Actor processes up to 2 searches at a time.

Recommended value:

- `maxConcurrentQueries`: `2`

RecordsDB source collection is also configured for 2 concurrent source workers, so this setting keeps the Actor aligned with the RecordsDB backend.

### Recommended Input

```json
{
  "queries": [
    "156 MILLAUDON ST",
    "810 TURQUOISE ST"
  ],
  "maxResultsPerQuery": 20,
  "waitForResults": true,
  "maxWaitSeconds": 360,
  "retryDelaySeconds": 30,
  "maxConcurrentQueries": 2
}
```

### Multiple Searches

You can submit addresses, owner names, parcel numbers, tax bill numbers, and assessor keys in the same run.

```json
{
  "queries": [
    "156 MILLAUDON ST",
    "810 TURQUOISE ST",
    "41027513",
    "716100709"
  ],
  "maxResultsPerQuery": 20,
  "waitForResults": true,
  "maxConcurrentQueries": 2
}
```

### Result Status

Each dataset item includes a `status`:

- `resolved`: An Orleans Parish Assessor record was found.
- `not_found`: The search completed without finding a close match.
- `processing_timeout`: RecordsDB was still collecting data when the Actor wait limit was reached. The search can be retried.
- `error`: The request could not be completed.
- `configuration_error`: The Actor is missing its RecordsDB API key.
- `invalid_input`: No valid search query was provided.

### Output

Results may include:

- `query`
- `status`
- `assessorKey`
- `parcelNumber`
- `taxBillNumber`
- `physicalAddress`
- `ownerName`
- `propertyType`
- `landAreaSquareFeet`
- `buildingAreaSquareFeet`
- `landValue`
- `buildingValue`
- `totalValue`
- `assessedValue`
- `taxableAssessment`
- `sourceRecordUrl`
- `recordType`
- `source`

### Data Source

Results are collected from publicly available Orleans Parish Assessor records and delivered through RecordsDB.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "query": "5644 VERMILLION BL, New Orleans, LA"
}' |
apify call recordsdb/new-orleans-parish-tax-assessor --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,recordsdb/new-orleans-parish-tax-assessor"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
