## 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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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.

### Who is it for

- Sales and lead-gen teams building lists of active food businesses with addresses
- Food-safety, compliance and insurance researchers tracking pass-fail history
- Journalists and analysts studying inspection trends across a city
- Real-estate and hospitality teams evaluating locations

### How to use it

1. Add one or more establishment names to **Establishment Names** (or leave empty for the most recent inspections).
2. Optionally filter by **Cities**, **Inspection Results** (e.g. Fail), and a **From / To Date** range.
3. Set **Max Inspections To Scrape** and run.
4. Export the results to JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull them through the API.

### FAQ

**Do I need an account or API key?** No. Just set your filters and run.

**Is the data live?** Yes, records are fetched fresh on every run.

**Can I search many names at once?** Yes. Add multiple names and each one runs its own search; every row is tagged with the term that produced it.

const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "searchQueries": [
        "Taco"
    ],
    "maxInspections": 50
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("scrapers_lat/usa-restaurant-inspections-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
