## Pricing

Pay per event

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

## 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.

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).

![WARN Layoff Notices: layoff data plus employer contacts](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/9BAn0msnxToXlD9TO/records/warn-banner.png)

## WARN Layoff Alerts

Fresh **WARN layoff notices** the week they're filed: which employer is cutting jobs, how many
workers, where, and the dates. Deduped across runs, so a daily or weekly schedule only ever
shows you new ones. Optional Apollo enrichment tacks on the employer's domain and phone.

Built for recruiters and staffing firms (a pile of about-to-be-available workers), outplacement
and RPO vendors, commercial real estate, and anyone who watches where a market is softening.

### What you get (one row per notice)

`company, state, city, county, layoff_count, notice_date, layoff_date, received_date, wda,
source_state, source_url` and, when enrichment is on, `company_domain, company_phone,
company_industry, enriched`.

### Heads up on coverage (the honest part)

There is no national WARN API. States publish WARN their own way. **Texas has a clean public
feed and it's wired up and verified here.** Other states post HTML tables or PDFs that each need
their own adapter, so they're not in yet. If you need a specific state, open an issue and we'll
prioritize it. So today this is a Texas WARN feed with the plumbing to grow.

### Enrichment (optional)

Set `apolloApiKey` and each notice gets the employer's **domain and phone** from an Apollo
company lookup (we clean the messy filing name first, e.g. `Spirit Airlines (DFW) May 2026` to
`Spirit Airlines`, which roughly 6x'd match rate in testing). We deliberately keep this to
company-level signal. Personal/decision-maker email on big WARN employers is hit-or-miss, so we
don't pretend otherwise. Enrichment costs Apollo credits and bills a separate event per enriched
notice.

### Input

| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| `states` | States to pull. Adapter exists for `TX` today; unknown states are skipped (logged) |
| `daysBack` | Notices with a notice_date in the last N days (default 30) |
| `onlyNewSinceLastRun` | Skip notices returned before (deduped by employer + date + city) |
| `minLayoffCount` | Only notices affecting at least N workers |
| `maxResults` | Hard cap per run |
| `apolloApiKey` | Optional. Turns on employer domain + phone enrichment |
| `socrataAppToken` | Optional. Dodge Socrata shared-pool throttling |
| `webhookUrl` / `webhookBatchSize` | Optional. POST batches of notices to your endpoint |

### Output

Export the Apify dataset as **JSON / CSV / Excel**, pull it from the dataset API, or set
`webhookUrl` for batched `{ source, count, records: [...] }` POSTs.

### Example output

One row per notice (sample, enrichment on):

```json
[
  {
    "company": "Spirit Airlines",
    "state": "TX",
    "city": "Dallas",
    "county": "Dallas",
    "layoff_count": 217,
    "notice_date": "2026-05-30",
    "layoff_date": "2026-07-29",
    "received_date": "2026-05-31",
    "wda": "Dallas County",
    "source_state": "TX",
    "source_url": "https://data.texas.gov/d/8w53-c4f6",
    "company_domain": "spirit.com",
    "company_phone": "+19543587000",
    "company_industry": "airlines/aviation",
    "enriched": true
  }
]
````

### Pricing

Pay per result. One charge per **new** notice (deduped, so a schedule never bills twice for the
same one), plus a small separate charge only when enrichment actually adds a domain or phone.

### Where the data comes from

State WARN filings, public record. Texas: `data.texas.gov` dataset `8w53-c4f6`. No gated or
personal-consumer data.

### FAQ

#### How do I get new WARN layoff notices automatically?

Schedule it daily or weekly with `onlyNewSinceLastRun` on. Each run returns only notices filed
since the last one, so you get a clean feed of fresh layoffs with no repeats.

#### Which states have WARN data?

Texas is wired up and verified today. There's no national WARN API, so other states each need
their own adapter. Open an issue for a state you need and we'll prioritize it.

#### Can I get employer contact info from a layoff notice?

Yes, with enrichment on (`apolloApiKey`). Each notice gets the employer's company domain and phone.
We keep it to company-level signal on purpose, since personal email on big WARN employers is unreliable.

#### How fresh are the layoff notices?

As fresh as the state publishes. Texas updates its feed regularly, and the dedup means a daily run
surfaces new filings the day they land.

#### Who buys WARN layoff data?

Recruiters and staffing firms (a pool of soon-to-be-available workers), outplacement and RPO vendors,
commercial real estate watching a softening market, and sales teams tracking distressed accounts.
