## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

## FCC Radio & Wireless License Holders Scraper (USA)

> Export U.S. FCC radio and wireless license holders with call sign, licensee name, FRN, license status, radio service, grant and expiration dates, full mailing address, and contact details (phone, fax, email and named contact).

**📥 [Input](https://apify.com/scrapers_lat/usa-fcc-license-scraper/input-schema) · 📤 [Output](https://apify.com/scrapers_lat/usa-fcc-license-scraper/output-schema) · 💰 [Pricing](https://apify.com/scrapers_lat/usa-fcc-license-scraper/pricing) · ▶️ [Examples](https://apify.com/scrapers_lat/usa-fcc-license-scraper/examples)**

### What you get

Every license record includes:

- **Identity**: call sign, licensee name, entity type (organization or individual), first/last name, FRN (FCC Registration Number)
- **License**: status (Active, Expired, Cancelled, Terminated), radio service and service code, ULS file number
- **Dates**: grant date, effective date, expiration date, last action date, cancellation date
- **Contact details**: phone, fax, email, and the named contact / attention line on file
- **Address**: street, city, state, ZIP, PO box
- **Representative**: contact representative name, phone and email (e.g. counsel of record), when present
- **Amateur extras**: operator class and previous call sign (amateur service)

Radio services covered: commercial and private land mobile (business two-way radio), GMRS, amateur, cellular, market-based / spectrum-auction carriers, microwave, paging, broadcast auxiliary, ship, coast, aircraft, and MDS/ITFS.

### Who is it for

- Sales and lead-gen teams targeting radio, wireless, telecom, public-safety, aviation and maritime operators
- Two-way radio dealers, tower and RF service providers prospecting license holders in a state or service
- Compliance, due-diligence and KYB teams verifying call signs, FRNs, status and expiration
- Analysts and researchers mapping spectrum holdings and license activity

### How to use it

1. Pick a **Radio Service Database** to search (e.g. Commercial Land Mobile for business leads).
2. Optionally narrow with **Licensee Names**, **States**, **Cities**, **Call Signs**, **FRNs**, **License Statuses**, grant/expiration **date ranges**, or require **email / phone** on file.
3. Set **Max Licenses To Scrape** and run.
4. Export the results to JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull them via the API.

Tip: for the largest services (Amateur, Private Land Mobile, Microwave) add a licensee-name, state or FRN filter to keep runs fast and focused.

### Pricing

Pay per result. **You are only charged for real license records returned. A run that matches nothing costs nothing.** No monthly rental, no proxy setup, no per-attempt fees.

### FAQ

**Where does the data come from?** Official public U.S. FCC licensing records. No login or cookies required.

**Can I get only active licenses?** Yes, set License Statuses to Active. You can also filter by expiration date to find licenses expiring soon.

**Do records include contact details?** Yes, when present on file: phone, fax, email, a named contact, the full mailing address, and any contact representative. Coverage varies by service (business services have the most).

**How current is it?** Records reflect the latest published FCC license database, refreshed regularly.

**Can I search multiple companies at once?** Yes, Licensee Names accepts a list, and each record is tagged with the license it belongs to.
