## 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).


# README

## Algora Bounty Radar

Find public open-source bounty leads worth reviewing before you spend implementation time.

Algora Bounty Radar is a read-only Apify Actor that searches public GitHub and Algora-style bounty signals, then scores each candidate for funding evidence, payout-route confidence, competition, safety risk, and implementation clarity.

The Actor is built for operators, contributors, and agencies that want a smaller, safer review queue instead of a long list of bounty-looking issues.

### What It Does

- Searches public GitHub issue data with bounty-focused queries.
- Detects public Algora-style funding signals and explicit USD/USDC amounts.
- Scores candidates by funding proof, payout route, acceptance criteria, freshness, competition, and safety.
- Separates results into `REVIEW`, `MONITOR`, and `REJECT`.
- Writes normalized rows to the default Apify dataset.
- Writes a compact run summary to the default key-value store output.

### What It Does Not Do

- It does not claim bounties.
- It does not submit pull requests.
- It does not comment on GitHub issues.
- It does not guarantee payment, acceptance, or bounty wins.
- It does not configure wallets, Stripe, tax, or payout accounts.
- It does not use private repos, private mailbox data, cookies, or session data.

### Best Use Cases

- Building a shortlist of funded OSS issues for manual review.
- Filtering noisy GitHub reward text before assigning engineering time.
- Monitoring whether public bounty leads have enough evidence to justify deeper review.
- Auditing why a high-dollar issue is still too risky or too vague to pursue.

### Input

The main inputs are:

- `queries`: GitHub search queries. Keep these narrow and bounty-specific.
- `rails`: preferred evidence rails, such as `algora` and `github_text_seed`.
- `minAmountUsd`: minimum clear bounty amount.
- `maxOpenPrs`: maximum visible open pull requests before a candidate is rejected.
- `maxClaimCount`: maximum claim-like comment count before a candidate is rejected.
- `maxResults`: maximum rows to return.
- `rejectUnsafePatterns`: rejects prompt disclosure, fake engagement, social gates, wallet-funding traps, and unsafe production testing.
- `dryRun`: uses provided seed issues or bundled examples and skips live GitHub search.
- `seedIssues`: optional issue records for controlled testing.

Example:

```json
{
  "queries": [
    "algora bounty is:issue is:open",
    "\"$\" \"bounty\" is:issue is:open"
  ],
  "minAmountUsd": 25,
  "maxOpenPrs": 2,
  "maxClaimCount": 2,
  "maxResults": 25,
  "rejectUnsafePatterns": true,
  "dryRun": false
}
````

### Output

Each dataset row represents one scored candidate.

Important fields:

- `decision`: `REVIEW`, `MONITOR`, or `REJECT`.
- `score`: numeric confidence score.
- `rail`: detected evidence rail.
- `funding_proof`: funding evidence class, such as `public_bounty_page` or `text_only`.
- `payout_route`: expected payout route when it can be inferred from public evidence.
- `amount` and `currency`: detected bounty amount.
- `repo`, `issue_number`, `title`, `issue_url`, and `bounty_url`.
- `risk_flags`: unsafe or low-trust patterns found in the issue text.
- `reject_reasons`: concrete reasons the candidate should not receive implementation time.
- `next_action`: manual next step recommendation.

Example row:

```json
{
  "decision": "REVIEW",
  "score": 84,
  "rail": "algora",
  "funding_proof": "public_bounty_page",
  "payout_route": "stripe_connect",
  "amount": 2500,
  "currency": "USD",
  "repo": "algora-io/algora",
  "issue_number": 238,
  "title": "[UI Bug] Unauthorized 'Edit' and 'Delete' buttons visible on /bounties page",
  "issue_url": "https://github.com/algora-io/algora/issues/238",
  "risk_flags": [],
  "reject_reasons": [],
  "next_action": "Manual review before any patch-prep packet. This Actor does not claim, comment, or create PRs."
}
```

### Decision Labels

`REVIEW` means the candidate has enough public signal for manual due diligence. It is not a patch instruction.

`MONITOR` means the candidate has some useful signal but needs better funding, acceptance, or competition evidence.

`REJECT` means the Actor found a concrete reason to avoid spending implementation time.

### Data Sources

This Actor uses public GitHub issue search data and public issue text. It may infer Algora-style evidence from public references to Algora, bounty pages, or bounty amounts. Inferred payout routes are directional signals, not payout guarantees.

### Operational Notes

Use `dryRun: true` for private tests and controlled demos. Use low `maxResults` values for first live runs. Review `REVIEW` rows manually before starting any implementation work.

For public Store use, pricing charges for filtering and scoring value, not for bounty outcomes. The intended pay-per-event event is `scored-candidate`, charged once per scored dataset row when the Actor is configured as a paid Apify Actor.

# Actor input Schema

## `queries` (type: `array`):

Search queries used only for read-only discovery. Keep them narrow and bounty-specific.

## `rails` (type: `array`):

Preferred evidence rails. Text-only GitHub matches are scored conservatively.

## `minAmountUsd` (type: `integer`):

Ignore candidates with lower clear USD-equivalent amounts.

## `maxOpenPrs` (type: `integer`):

Reject candidates with too much visible implementation competition.

## `maxClaimCount` (type: `integer`):

Reject candidates where many comments indicate claims or attempts.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum scored candidates to output.

## `rejectUnsafePatterns` (type: `boolean`):

Reject prompt disclosure, star gates, fake engagement, vague rewards, stale issues, and closed work.

## `dryRun` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, score only seedIssues or bundled examples and skip live GitHub search. The Actor is read-only regardless of this setting.

## `seedIssues` (type: `array`):

Optional local issue records to score before or instead of live search. Useful for private dry runs and local tests.
