What it does

The actor reads the official Singapore Board of Architects (BOA) Register of Architects published on the government open-data portal (data.gov.sg), applies the keyword filter you pass as input, and writes one normalized record per registered architect to the run's dataset. Each record carries the architect name, registration number, firm name, firm address and phone. A Singapore postal code is parsed out of the firm address so records are ready for geocoding, mapping and territory-based lead routing. Missing source values are returned as null.

The full register holds roughly 1,900 architects. Data covers Singapore registered architects only.

Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns the first 10 architects in the register.

{
  "maxArchitects": 10,
  "sortByNewest": false
}

Leave searchQuery empty to pull the full register. Every input field is optional; with an empty input the actor returns architects in the published alphabetical order (default maxArchitects is 10).

Input reference

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
maxArchitects	integer	no	10	Maximum number of architect records to collect. The full register holds roughly 1,900 architects.
searchQuery	string	no	(empty)	Filter the register by architect name or firm name, for example Aamer, DP Architects, Urban Redevelopment Authority. Leave empty to pull the full register.
sortByNewest	boolean	no	false	Return records from the end of the register first. Turn off to read in the published order (alphabetical by name).

The keyword filter matches against both architect name and firm name. If you pass no filter, the actor returns the full register up to maxArchitects.

Output reference

One dataset item per registered architect. Types: string or null when the source value is absent.

Field	Type	Description
name	string	Registered architect name.
regNo	string	BOA registration number (unique per architect).
firmName	string	Name of the firm the architect is associated with.
firmAddress	string	Full firm address as published.
firmPostalCode	string	Singapore postal code parsed from the firm address, or null if none is present.
firmPhone	string	Firm contact phone number.
source	string	Data source label. Always the BOA register via data.gov.sg.
observedAt	string	ISO 8601 timestamp of when the record was collected.
error	string	null on success. On a failed run, a single item with a populated error field is written instead.

Example output record

Real record from a live run (input {"maxArchitects": 10, "sortByNewest": false}):

{
  "name": "Aamer Taher",
  "regNo": "1403",
  "firmName": "Aamer Architects Pte Ltd",
  "firmAddress": "2 Leng Kee Road #04-01A Thye Hong Centre Singapore 159086",
  "firmPostalCode": "159086",
  "firmPhone": "62582838",
  "source": "Singapore Board of Architects (BOA) register via data.gov.sg",
  "observedAt": "2026-08-10T14:17:34.808Z",
  "error": null
}

Run via API and CLI

Start a run and wait for it to finish, then read the dataset. Replace <TOKEN> with your Apify API token.

Run synchronously and get dataset items in one call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~singapore-boa-architects-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchQuery":"DP Architects","maxArchitects":25}'

Start a run asynchronously:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~singapore-boa-architects-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"maxArchitects":2000}'

Apify CLI:

apify call scrapers_lat/singapore-boa-architects-scraper \
  --input '{"searchQuery":"Aamer"}'

Fetch results

Every run writes to a dataset. Fetch items as JSON, CSV, or Excel by changing format:

# JSON
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=json"

# CSV
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=csv"

# Paginate large datasets
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&offset=1000&limit=1000"

<DATASET_ID> is returned as defaultDatasetId in the run object. Use offset and limit to page through large result sets. clean=true drops empty and internal fields.

Billing and limits

• Pay per result. You are charged per record returned (result event). See the pricing tab for the current per-result price.
• No charge on failure. If a run errors, the actor writes a single item with a populated error field and does not charge for it. Empty runs cost nothing.
• Spend cap respected. Set maxTotalChargeUsd on the run; once reached, the actor stops emitting and charging further billable results.
• Free Apify plans are capped at 10 records per run. Upgrade for higher maxArchitects.

FAQ and troubleshooting

A run returned 0 records. Why? The keyword matched no architect or firm name. Loosen searchQuery or leave it empty to pull the full register. Zero-result runs are not charged.

How do I pull the whole register? Leave searchQuery empty and set maxArchitects high (the register holds roughly 1,900 architects).

Why is firmPostalCode null? No 6-digit Singapore postal code was present in the published firm address. Missing source values are returned as null, never invented.

In what order are records returned? Alphabetical by name (the published order) by default. Set sortByNewest to true to read from the end of the register first.

Is this an official BOA tool? No. This actor is independent and has no affiliation with the Board of Architects. It reads only data that is publicly available through the official government open-data portal (data.gov.sg).
