## 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

## Uptime Institute Issued Awards

Scrapes Uptime Institute's public list of issued data center awards — Tier Certification (Design
Documents, Constructed Facility, Operational Sustainability), Management & Operations Stamp of
Approval, and Efficient IT Stamp of Approval — including client, data center/project, country, and
award-tier details for every awarded facility.

### Use cases

1. **Data-center market intelligence** — colocation/cloud competitors and infrastructure sales teams
   mapping which facilities and clients hold Tier certifications, by country or client.
2. **Procurement and vendor screening** — buyers evaluating a data center or colocation vendor can
   pull the vendor's full award history (design, construction, operational sustainability, M\&O) in
   one normalized dataset instead of manually searching Uptime's site per client.
3. **Investor / PE due diligence** — infrastructure investors screening a target's certified facility
   footprint across regions before an acquisition or partnership decision.

### Output fields

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| clientId | string | Uptime Institute internal client ID |
| clientName | string | Awarded company/client name |
| clientProfileUrl | string | Absolute URL to the client's award history page |
| countryCode | string | 2-letter country code as published by Uptime |
| location | string | City, Country as published |
| dataCenterName | string | Data center / project name |
| dataCenterProfileUrl | string | Absolute URL to the data center's detail page |
| awardCode | string | Short award type code (e.g. TCDD, TCCF, TCOS, MO) |
| tierLevel | string | Tier level code (TI–TIV); blank for non-tier awards (e.g. M\&O) |
| awardDescription | string | Full human-readable award/certification description |
| sourceUrl | string | The list page URL the row was scraped from |
| scrapedAt | string | ISO 8601 UTC scrape timestamp |

#### Example output

```json
{
  "clientId": "390",
  "clientName": "1-Net Singapore Pte Ltd",
  "clientProfileUrl": "https://uptimeinstitute.com/uptime-institute-awards/list/client/1net-singapore-pte-ltd/390",
  "countryCode": "SG",
  "location": "Singapore, Singapore",
  "dataCenterName": "1-Net North Data Center",
  "dataCenterProfileUrl": "https://uptimeinstitute.com/uptime-institute-awards/list/datacenter/1net-north-data-center/620",
  "awardCode": "TCDD",
  "tierLevel": "TIII",
  "awardDescription": "Tier III Certification of Design Documents",
  "sourceUrl": "https://uptimeinstitute.com/uptime-institute-awards/list",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-08-05T08:28:03.193693+00:00"
}
```

### Input configuration

- **Start URLs** — defaults to the full public awards list
  (`https://uptimeinstitute.com/uptime-institute-awards/list`). The entire dataset is embedded as
  static HTML in a single page load, so one URL returns the complete, current award list — no
  pagination required.
- **Max items** — cap on how many award records to return (default 100).
- **Delay between requests** — polite delay before each fetch (default 1.0s).
- **Fetch concurrency** — how many start URLs to fetch at once if you supply more than one
  (default 5).

### Pricing

$5 per 1,000 results.

| Results | Estimated cost |
|---|---|
| 100 | $0.50 |
| 500 | $2.50 |
| 1,000 | $5.00 |
| 5,000 | $25.00 |

### Notes

Source data is public and factual (client name, facility, country, award code/tier) — no PII, no
login-gated content. Uptime Institute is not affiliated with this Actor; award data is republished
from their public awards list for informational/market-intelligence purposes.

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

URLs to scrape. The full awards dataset is embedded in a single page load of the default list URL, so one URL is normally enough.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of award records to scrape

## `delaySeconds` (type: `number`):

Polite delay each fetch waits before requesting

## `concurrency` (type: `integer`):

How many start URLs to fetch at once (each still waits delaySeconds before requesting)

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://uptimeinstitute.com/uptime-institute-awards/list"
    }
  ],
  "maxItems": 100,
  "delaySeconds": 1,
  "concurrency": 5
}
```

# API

    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("tehsnarf/uptime-institute-issued-awards").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();

from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("tehsnarf/uptime-institute-issued-awards").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call tehsnarf/uptime-institute-issued-awards --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,tehsnarf/uptime-institute-issued-awards"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
