## 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.

## ARPA-H Awards Directory Apify Actor

Scrapes the public ARPA-H awards directory into structured award records with detail-page metadata, award bodies, and source URLs.

### What it does
- Crawls ARPA-H award listing pages and follows the public award detail pages.
- Captures the award title, award type, activity/program, award start date, award amount, prime awardee, PI names, location, managing office, and the detail body text.
- Stops cleanly at the configured `maxItems` and respects the platform charging limit.

### Use cases
1. Track new ARPA-H awards for biotech business development and grant intelligence.
2. Monitor public awardee activity by program, office, or award year.
3. Build curated funding lead lists from a narrow federal health-innovation dataset.

### Input
- `startUrls`: directory pages or direct award detail URLs.
- `maxItems`: maximum records to emit.
- `startPage`: first directory page to crawl when `startUrls` is not supplied.
- `keyword`, `awardType`, `managingOffice`, `year`: optional directory filters.

### Output fields

|---|---|---|
| award_id | string | Numeric award ID from the URL |
| award_title | string | Award title |
| award_url | string | Canonical award detail URL |
| award_type | string | Award type |
| award_activity | string | Activity/program label |
