## What's an Apify Actor?
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).

## Singapore BCA Registered Contractors Scraper
> Pull Singapore's BCA registered contractors by workhead and grade. Get company name, UEN, full address, postal code, phone, fax and registration expiry. No login, no API key.
### What you get
One record per registered contractor per workhead, straight from the official BCA contractors directory. This is direct B2B contact data for Singapore's construction sector, ready for lead generation and vendor research.
- **companyName**: the registered contractor's name
- **uen**: the Unique Entity Number (Singapore company identifier)
- **workhead**: the workhead code the contractor is registered under (for example CW01, ME05)
- **workheadDescription**: the workhead name (for example General Building, Electrical Engineering)
- **grade**: the registration grade (for example A1, B2, L4)
- **registrationExpiry**: the registration expiry date for the workhead (with "Fetch registration expiry" on)
- **address**: the full company address
- **postalCode**: the Singapore postal code parsed from the address
- **phone**: the company phone number
- **fax**: the company fax number
- **licenceType**: Registered Contractor
- **observedAt**: when this record was collected
### How it works
| Input | What it does |
|---|---|
| `workheads` | Workhead codes to collect (for example CW01, CW02, ME05). Leave empty to scrape every registered-contractor workhead. |
| `grades` | Grades to keep (for example A1, B1, L4). Leave empty to include every grade available for each workhead. |
| `withDetails` | Open each company page to add the registration expiry date. Contact fields are collected without it. |
| `maxItems` | Cap the number of records collected. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Optional. Enable Apify Residential proxy (country SG) if results come back empty. |
The workhead and grade list is discovered live from the directory, so new workheads are picked up automatically. Company name, UEN, address, phone and fax come straight from the listing.
### Use cases
| Use case | Who it is for |
|---|---|
| Build a lead list of construction contractors | B2B sales and marketing teams |
| Vet suppliers and subcontractors by grade | Main contractors and developers |
| Map the market by workhead and grade | Analysts and strategy teams |
| Reach contractors by phone for a tender | Procurement and estimating teams |
| Enrich a CRM with UEN and contact data | RevOps and data teams |
### Frequently Asked Questions
**Where does the data come from?**
The public BCA contractors directory, maintained by the Building and Construction Authority of Singapore. It lists contractors registered under the Contractors Registration System.
**Does it need a login or API key?**
No. It reads the public directory with no account and no key.
**What are workheads and grades?**
Workheads are the categories of work a contractor is registered for (for example CW01 General Building, ME05 Electrical Engineering). Grades reflect financial and track-record tiers (A1 is the highest for construction workheads, then A2, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3; construction-related and M&E workheads use L1 to L6).
**Do I get phone and fax numbers?**
Yes. Phone, fax, full address and postal code come from the listing itself, so you get them on every run without opening each company page.
**How fresh is it?**
Every run reads the directory live, so records reflect what BCA publishes at that moment.

## `grades` (type: `array`):
Grades to keep, for example "A1", "A2", "B1", "B2", "C1", "C2", "C3" for construction workheads, or "L1".."L6" for construction-related and M&E workheads. Leave empty to include every grade available for each selected workhead.
## `withDetails` (type: `boolean`):

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):
Maximum number of contractor records to collect. Leave high to pull everything for the selected workheads and grades.
## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):
