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/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 ## SERI R2 Certified Facilities Directory Actor Scrapes SERI's (Sustainable Electronics Recycling International) public directory of R2-certified electronics recycling and ITAD (IT Asset Disposition) facilities into structured, filterable data. The directory covers R2-certified facilities worldwide, drawn from SERI's official certification records at [sustainableelectronics.org](https://sustainableelectronics.org/find-an-r2-certified-facility/). ### Use cases - **ITAD vendor discovery** — find certified electronics recyclers/asset disposition vendors in a specific country, region, or with a specific R2v3 business workflow (e.g. Data Destruction, Escrap/Recycling). - **E-waste compliance and procurement research** — build a normalized list of R2-certified facilities for vendor vetting, RFP sourcing, or sustainability audits. - **Certification monitoring** — track certificate status (Active/Suspended/Expired/Voluntarily Withdrawn) for a known set of facilities or an entire country/region over time. ### Input configuration | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `certificateStatuses` | array of strings | Certificate statuses to include. Default `["Active"]`. Also valid: `Suspended`, `Expired`, `Voluntarily Withdrawn`. | | `countries` | array of strings | Country names to filter by. Empty = worldwide. | | `regions` | array of strings | SERI region groupings: `Africa`, `Asia`, `Australia-Pacific`, `Central America`, `Europe`, `North America`, `South America`. | | `businessWorkflows` | array of strings | R2v3 business workflow filters, e.g. `ITAD/Remarketing`, `Escrap/Recycling`, `Data Destruction Physical`. | | `versions` | array of strings | R2 standard versions: `R2:2013`, `R2v3`, `All`. | | `maxItems` | integer | Maximum facility records to emit. Default 1000. | | `delaySeconds` | number | Polite pause between internal filter requests. Default 1.0. | The directory's filter endpoint returns every matching facility in a single response (no pagination) — for example, "Active" certificate status alone returns 1,230+ facilities worldwide in one request. This actor issues one request per run and truncates client-side to `maxItems`. ### Output fields | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `company_name` | string | Public facility/company name | | `address_full` | string | Full public address string as exposed on the directory | | `city` | string | Best-effort parsed city (null when the address format is ambiguous) | | `state_province` | string | Best-effort parsed state/province (null when ambiguous or not applicable) | | `country` | string | Public country (reliably parsed) | | `region` | string | Public SERI region grouping (reliably parsed) | | `certification_status` | string | Certificate status, e.g. `Active` | | `r2_standard_version` | string | R2 standard/version, e.g. `R2v3` | | `facility_detail_id` | string | SERI's internal facility application ID | | `facility_detail_url` | string | Public facility detail page URL | | `filters_applied` | object | The exact filter set used to produce this run, echoed on every record | | `scraped_at` | date | ISO timestamp when the record was scraped | ### Example output ```json { "company_name": "1PC, LLC", "address_full": "3550 Meridian St Ste 2, Bellingham, WA, United States, North America", "city": "Bellingham", "state_province": "WA", "country": "United States", "region": "North America", "certification_status": "Active", "r2_standard_version": "R2v3", "facility_detail_id": "0017V0000268ZN4QAM", "facility_detail_url": "https://sustainableelectronics.org/find-an-r2-certified-facility/?appids=0017V0000268ZN4QAM&tab=2", "filters_applied": { "certificate": "Active", "country_features": "United States", "regions": "", "workflow": "", "versions": "" }, "scraped_at": "2026-07-12T08:12:05.688117+00:00" } ```` ### Pricing $6.00 per 1,000 results. | Results | Cost | |---|---| | 100 | $0.60 | | 500 | $3.00 | | 1,000 | $6.00 | | 5,000 | $30.00 | # Actor input Schema ## `certificateStatuses` (type: `array`): Certificate statuses to include. ## `countries` (type: `array`): Country names to filter by (empty = worldwide). ## `regions` (type: `array`): SERI region groupings to filter by (e.g. North America, Asia, Europe). ## `businessWorkflows` (type: `array`): R2v3 business workflow filters (e.g. ITAD/Remarketing, Escrap/Recycling). ## `versions` (type: `array`): R2 standard versions to filter by (R2:2013, R2v3, All). ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of facility records to emit. ## `delaySeconds` (type: `number`): Polite pause used between internal filter requests. ## Actor input object example ```json { "certificateStatuses": [ "Active" ], "countries": [], "regions": [], "businessWorkflows": [], "versions": [], "maxItems": 1000, "delaySeconds": 1 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
