The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

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 ## EPA Safer Choice Products Scrapes the public EPA Safer Choice product registry and normalizes the product rows into a clean dataset. ### What it does - Fetches the EPA Safer Choice product registry page - Parses the embedded registry dataset from the page HTML - Normalizes product, partner, UPC, and certification flags - Applies optional filters for sector, product type, company, and certification flags ### Use cases 1. Sustainable procurement teams checking certified product coverage 2. Brand and category managers comparing Safer Choice offerings by sector 3. Compliance or ESG researchers building a normalized export of EPA-certified products ### Input - `startUrls`: EPA registry URLs to scrape - `maxItems`: maximum number of rows to return - `sectors`: optional `Business` and/or `Home` filters - `productTypes`: optional category filters - `partnerContains`: optional company-name substring filter - `nameContains`: optional product-name substring filter - `onlyOutdoorUse`: only rows marked as acceptable for outdoor use - `onlyFragranceFree`: only fragrance-free rows - `onsiteOnly`: only onsite rows ### Output fields | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `productName` | string | EPA product name | | `productId` | string | Registry ID | | `upcs` | array | Normalized UPC list | | `partnerCompany` | string | Company or partner name | | `partnerReviewOverdue` | boolean | Dagger-marked overdue partner flag | | `partnerSinceYear` | integer | Year the partner joined | | `sector` | string | Business or Home | | `productTypeCategory` | string | EPA sector type | | `fragranceFree` | boolean | Fragrance-free flag | | `outdoorUse` | boolean | Outdoor-use flag | | `saferChemicalsReleaseFlag` | boolean | Release/direct-use flag | | `onsiteFlag` | boolean | Onsite flag | | `sourceUrl` | string | Source page URL | | `crawlTimestamp` | string | ISO-8601 crawl time | ### Pricing Recommended price: `$2 per 1,000 results` Example costs: - 100 results: `$0.20` - 500 results: `$1.00` - 1,000 results: `$2.00` - 5,000 results: `$10.00` ### Example ```json { "productName": "Enviro Klean\u00ae Klean 'N Release Cleaner", "productId": "a04t0000004WVwyAAG", "upcs": ["653429028058", "653429028065"], "partnerCompany": "Prosoco Inc.", "partnerReviewOverdue": false, "partnerSinceYear": 2016, "sector": "Business", "productTypeCategory": "Aircraft Cleaning Products", "fragranceFree": true, "outdoorUse": true, "saferChemicalsReleaseFlag": true, "onsiteFlag": true, "sourceUrl": "https://www.epa.gov/saferchoice/products#search=a04t0000004WVwyAAG", "crawlTimestamp": "2026-07-09T10:09:35.818218+00:00" } ```` # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): EPA Safer Choice product registry URLs to scrape ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of rows to return ## `sectors` (type: `array`): Optional sector filters such as Business or Home ## `productTypes` (type: `array`): Optional product category filters such as All-Purpose Cleaners ## `partnerContains` (type: `string`): Optional substring filter for the partner/company name ## `nameContains` (type: `string`): Optional substring filter for the product name ## `onlyOutdoorUse` (type: `boolean`): Return only products marked acceptable for outdoor use ## `onlyFragranceFree` (type: `boolean`): Return only products marked fragrance-free ## `onsiteOnly` (type: `boolean`): Return only products marked onsite ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.epa.gov/saferchoice/products" } ], "maxItems": 100, "sectors": [], "productTypes": [], "partnerContains": "", "nameContains": "", "onlyOutdoorUse": false, "onlyFragranceFree": false, "onsiteOnly": false } ``` # 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 '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("tehsnarf/epa-safer-choice-products").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); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
