Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ### NSW Development Application Lead API Find and score NSW development application lead signals from the NSW Planning Portal. This Actor turns public planning activity into trade- and consultant-specific sales leads for builders, solar installers, demolition contractors, architects, certifiers, and property-service suppliers. It is built as an intelligence API, not a raw page scraper: each returned application includes a lead score, timing stage, match reasons, location fields, and a recommended next step. ### Data source This Actor uses the public NSW Planning Portal Application Tracker surface: - Application Tracker: `https://www.planningportal.nsw.gov.au/map` - Public tracker API observed from the NSW Planning Portal: `https://api.apps1.nsw.gov.au/eplanning/data/v0/DAApplicationTracker` - NSW open data page: `https://www.planningportal.nsw.gov.au/opendata/dataset/online-da-data-api` The NSW open data page describes the Online DA Data API as a feed of applications lodged on the NSW Planning Portal since January 2019, updated daily. This Actor uses the public tracker endpoint exposed by the Planning Portal page and does not require an API key. ### Who it is for Use this Actor if you sell into projects triggered by development applications: - solar and battery installers; - demolition and strip-out contractors; - architects and building designers; - certifiers and planning consultants; - builders, renovators, and refurbishment contractors; - landscaping, fencing, roofing, and trade suppliers; - property-data, CRM, and lead-generation workflows. ### Input The default input is tuned for solar/battery installers watching recent NSW applications: ```json { "daysBack": 14, "applicationStatus": "ALL", "statuses": ["Under Assessment", "On Exhibition", "Approved"], "keywords": ["dwelling", "alterations", "additions", "new structure", "multi-dwelling", "commercial", "industrial", "roof"], "leadProfile": { "trade": "solar-installers", "capabilities": ["solar", "battery", "roof", "residential", "commercial", "industrial"], "targetCouncils": [] }, "maxResults": 20, "minLeadScore": 55, "pageSize": 4000, "maxPages": 1 } ```` ### Output Each dataset item contains: ```json { "planningPortalApplicationNumber": "CDC-318554", "title": "Multi-dwelling housing,Alterations or additions to an existing building or structure at 3 133-137 NORTH STEYNE MANLY 2095", "councilName": "Northern Beaches Council", "status": "Under Assessment", "developmentType": "Multi-dwelling housing,Alterations or additions to an existing building or structure", "applicationType": "Complying Development Certificate Application", "lodgementDate": "2026-06-30", "address": "3 133-137 NORTH STEYNE MANLY 2095", "suburb": "North Steyne Manly", "postcode": "2095", "latitude": -33.89, "longitude": 151.106, "source": "NSW Planning Portal Application Tracker", "sourceUrl": "https://www.planningportal.nsw.gov.au/map", "intelligence": { "leadScore": 80, "trade": "solar-installers", "leadStage": "assessment", "matchReasons": ["Trade/profile match: dwelling, alterations, roof"], "concerns": [], "recommendedNextStep": "Review roof/site suitability and prepare solar or battery outreach." } } ``` ### Suggested presets The repository includes starter presets: - `presets/solar-installers.json` - `presets/demolition-contractors.json` - `presets/architects-designers.json` ### Pricing Suggested phase-1 Apify pay-per-event pricing: - Primary event: `development-lead-matched` - Suggested launch price: `$0.05` per matched development lead Empty searches and applications filtered out before being returned are not charged as matched leads. ### Limitations - The public tracker endpoint returns a compact set of fields: application number, council, status, development type, application type, lodgement/determination date, address, and coordinates. - It does not currently return applicant names, project cost, documents, or contact details. - It does not provide legal, planning, procurement, or sales advice. - Source pages and public endpoints can change and may require maintenance. ### Disclaimer This Actor is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the NSW Government or NSW Planning Portal. It uses publicly accessible planning data and is intended for lead research and workflow automation only. Always verify important project details on official council or NSW Planning Portal sources before acting. # Actor input Schema ## `daysBack` (type: `integer`): Relative date window used when explicit lodgement dates are not provided. ## `lodgementDateFrom` (type: `string`): Optional YYYY-MM-DD lower bound for lodged applications.
