## 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 BOA Registered Architects Scraper
> Pull the official Singapore Board of Architects (BOA) register straight from the data.gov.sg open data portal. Every registered architect with their registration number, firm name, firm address and firm phone. No login, no API key.
### What you get
One record per architect holding a current practising certificate under the Singapore Board of Architects, taken from the official Register of Architects published on data.gov.sg. The full register holds roughly 1,900 architects.
- **name**: the architect's full name
- **regNo**: the BOA registration number
- **firmName**: the architecture firm the architect practises with
- **firmAddress**: the firm's registered address
- **firmPhone**: the firm's contact phone number
- **source**: the origin of the record
- **observedAt**: when this record was collected
### How it works
| Input | What it does |
|---|---|
| `searchQuery` | Filter the register by architect name or firm name (for example Aamer, DP Architects). Leave empty to pull everyone. |
| `sortByNewest` | Read from the end of the register first. Off returns the published order (alphabetical by name). |
| `maxItems` | Cap the number of records collected. |
The data comes from the official Singapore open data portal as a single clean export. There is no login, no API key and no rate-limit dance for the user to worry about.
### Use cases
| Use case | Who it is for |
|---|---|
| Build a lead list of Singapore architecture firms | Construction, materials and proptech sales teams |
| Verify an architect's registration and firm | Developers, contractors and compliance teams |
| Map firm coverage and contact details | Real estate and design procurement |
| Enrich a CRM with firm phone and address | RevOps and data teams |
| Research the Singapore architecture market | Analysts and researchers |
### Frequently Asked Questions
**Where does the data come from?**
The official data.gov.sg "Register of Architects" dataset, managed by the Board of Architects (BOA). It lists architects currently holding a practising certificate.
**Does it need a login or API key?**
No. It reads the public open data portal with no account and no key.
**Does it include firm contact details?**
Yes. Each record carries the firm name, firm address and firm phone where the Board publishes them.
**How fresh is it?**
The source dataset is refreshed by the Board of Architects on a rolling basis. The actor always downloads the latest published export at run time.

For AI agents: this Actor is available on **x402**, Apify's agentic payment standard built with Coinbase. An AI agent can discover, pay for and run it on its own with a funded wallet and a single HTTP request: no account, no subscription, no API key and no human in the loop. It also runs as an **MCP** tool inside Claude, Cursor and other AI clients out of the box. Learn more about [x402 agentic payments on Apify](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/x402).
