## 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.

# README

## Singapore MAS Remittance Licensees Directory

> **Unofficial:** This Actor is independently published by Singapore Data. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Singapore Government or any source agency.

Search and export official Singapore remittance licensee location records. Get institution names, business registration numbers, licence classifications, addresses, postal codes, and map coordinates for compliance research, fintech directories, market mapping, and payments-industry analysis.

### Why use this Actor?

- Search the official MAS remittance licensee location dataset.
- Match institution names, registration numbers, addresses, and postal codes.
- Exclude incomplete or placeholder map locations by default.
- Opt in to incomplete official records for broader registry coverage.
- Export normalized JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or API-ready records.

### Input

| Field | Purpose | Default |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `query` | Business, registration number, address, or postal-code search | Empty |
| `includeIncompleteLocations` | Include records without a complete usable location | `false` |
| `maxItems` | Exact maximum number of unique licensee records | `50` |
| `failOnNoResults` | Fail instead of returning a valid empty result | `false` |

```json
{
  "query": "CHANGI",
  "includeIncompleteLocations": false,
  "maxItems": 50
}
```

### Output

Each row represents one official MAS record and can include business name, licence or institution type, registration number, address lines, postal code, usable longitude and latitude, `locationComplete`, source traceability, and collection time.

`locationComplete` is true only when the record has a business address, postal code, and usable non-placeholder map point. Known shared placeholder coordinates are never exposed as genuine service locations.

### Data source and responsible use

The Actor uses the official MAS remittance licensee location dataset on data.gov.sg under the Singapore Open Data Licence. Singapore Data is an independent publisher and is not affiliated with or endorsed by MAS or the Singapore Government.

Records can represent licensed institutions rather than guaranteed walk-in remittance branches. The dataset does not guarantee current opening hours, supported corridors, fees, or consumer availability. Verify regulatory and service details with MAS and the institution.

### Performance and errors

The Actor downloads one bounded official GeoJSON snapshot without a browser or proxy. It validates the file, applies search and exact limits, removes duplicate records, and reports how many incomplete locations were filtered. A valid empty search returns `no_results`; no location is fabricated.

### SEO summary

Singapore remittance licensee scraper and MAS directory for payment institutions, business registration numbers, addresses, postal codes, map coordinates, fintech research, compliance, and market intelligence.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("singaporedata/singapore-mas-remittance-locations").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}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call singaporedata/singapore-mas-remittance-locations --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,singaporedata/singapore-mas-remittance-locations"
        }
    }

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
