What does this actor do?
Weather Alert History is an Apify actor that search weather alert history from NWS by state including severity, urgency, and timing. It runs on the Apify platform and delivers structured data in JSON, CSV, or Excel formats that you can easily integrate into your workflows. For each item found, the actor extracts key data fields including url. All results are stored in an Apify dataset that you can download or connect to via the Apify API.

This actor is ideal for data analysts, researchers, marketers, and developers who need reliable, structured data. You can schedule regular runs to keep your data fresh, integrate results directly into spreadsheets or databases, and scale your data collection without any coding required. The actor handles pagination, rate limiting, and data normalization automatically.
How does it work?
This actor connects to the target website to fetch structured data directly. It processes the responses, normalizes the data into a consistent format, and stores everything in an Apify dataset. The API-based approach is fast and reliable, with built-in error handling and retry logic.
