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/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. 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). # README ## California State Bar Attorney Scraper Turn the official **State Bar of California** licensee directory into a structured, ready-to-use attorney lead list — one clean row per licensed attorney, with phone, firm, mailing address and license status. California is the largest bar in the United States (250k+ licensees) — the definitive contact universe for anyone who sells to attorneys. ### What you get One row per attorney: - `name`, `barNumber`, `licenseStatus` (Active / Inactive / Not Eligible / Resigned / Disbarred / Suspended) - `firmName`, `address`, `city`, `state`, `zip` — parsed from the published mailing address - `phone`, `fax` — in **plaintext** on the source - `website` — when the attorney lists one - `county`, `lawSchool`, `admissionDate`, `practiceAreas` (self-reported) - `hasDisciplinaryRecord` — boolean, derived from the public license-history table - `profileUrl`, `scrapedAt` > **Email is NOT returned.** The State Bar obfuscates attorney emails with JavaScript decoys (about 20 fake `mailto:` spans per page, only the real one un-hidden by client-side script at runtime), so no HTTP/HTML scrape can reliably pick the real address. This actor returns **phone, firm and mailing address**, which the State Bar publishes in plaintext. No email is claimed anywhere. ### Use cases - Build **malpractice-insurance** prospect lists (carriers & brokers) - **Legal-SaaS** outbound (practice-management, e-signature, billing) - **CLE / bar-prep** marketing lists - **Legal recruiting** and lateral sourcing - **Expert-witness** and co-counsel sourcing - Attorney **license verification** (status + bar number + admission date) ### Inputs Two modes: **1. Search (default)** — targeted pulls: - `queries` — free-text terms (a last name, a firm, or `lastname, city`). Each query returns up to **500** attorneys (the site's hard cap). If a query hits 500, the log tells you to narrow it (e.g. add a city or split by last-name prefix). - `cities` — exact-match city search (Advanced Search) when you want everyone in a city. - `statusFilter` — keep only the license statuses you want (e.g. just `Active`). Empty = keep all. **2. Bar-number range** — full-coverage crawl: - `barNumberStart` / `barNumberEnd` — bar numbers are sequential, so a range walks every profile in `[start, end]`. `maxRecords` caps how many attorneys the run returns (cost/speed guard). #### Example input ```json { "searchMode": "search", "queries": ["smith"], "cities": ["Los Angeles"], "statusFilter": ["Active"], "maxRecords": 1000 } ```` ### Output sample ```json { "barNumber": "290151", "name": "Aaron Thomas Smith", "licenseStatus": "Active", "firmName": "Aaron T. Smith PC", "address": "1550 NW Eastman Pkwy, Ste 180, Gresham, OR 97030-3848", "city": "Gresham", "state": "OR", "zip": "97030-3848", "county": "", "phone": "503-667-5300", "fax": null, "website": null, "email": null, "lawSchool": "Thomas Jefferson SOL; San Diego CA", "admissionDate": "6/6/2013", "practiceAreas": "Elder Law; Trusts & Estates; Wills & Probate", "hasDisciplinaryRecord": false, "profileUrl": "https://apps.calbar.ca.gov/attorney/Licensee/Detail/290151", "scrapedAt": "2026-07-07T00:00:00.000Z" } ``` Export as JSON, CSV, Excel or via the Apify API. ### Pricing **Pay per result** — you are charged **per attorney record** returned (the `attorney-scraped` event). No subscription, no monthly minimum. Set `maxRecords` to bound spend on any run. ### Legal note This data is **public record** published by the State Bar of California. Use it only for lawful B2B outreach and license verification. You are responsible for complying with applicable laws (including anti-spam and privacy rules) when contacting attorneys. # Actor input Schema ## `searchMode` (type: `string`): Search = partition by your queries (each ≤500 results). Range = crawl every bar number in \[start,end]. ## `queries` (type: `array`): Free-text QuickSearch terms — a last name, firm, or 'lastname, city'. Each query returns up to 500 attorneys. ## `cities` (type: `array`): City names for AdvancedSearch (exact match). Use when you want everyone in a city. ## `statusFilter` (type: `array`): Keep only these statuses. Empty = keep all. ## `barNumberStart` (type: `integer`): Range mode only. ## `barNumberEnd` (type: `integer`): Range mode only. ## `maxRecords` (type: `integer`): Cap on attorneys returned this run (cost/speed guard). ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchMode": "search", "queries": [ "smith" ], "cities": [ "Los Angeles" ], "statusFilter": [ "Active" ], "barNumberStart": 300000, "barNumberEnd": 300500, "maxRecords": 25 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `records` (type: `string`): The dataset of scraped California attorneys (one item per licensee). # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
