## 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).


# README

## US Executive Orders Tracker — Federal Register

Daily-fresh dataset of every **US Presidential Document** — Executive Orders, Proclamations, Memoranda, Determinations, Notices — straight from the Federal Register's free public API. One clean row per document.

Built for **journalists, policy analysts, lawyers, gov-affairs consultants, history researchers** who need a flat, sortable feed of presidential actions without re-implementing the Federal Register pagination themselves.

### What you get

One dataset row per presidential document:

| field | example |
|---|---|
| documentNumber | `2026-10733` |
| subtype | `Proclamation` |
| title | `Memorial Day, 2026` |
| executiveOrderNumber | `14123` (only on EOs) |
| presidentialDocumentNumber | `11031` |
| signingDate | `2026-05-22` |
| publicationDate | `2026-05-28` |
| citation | `91 FR 22480` |
| abstract | (when present) |
| agencies | `[{"name": "Executive Office of the President", ...}]` |
| htmlUrl | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/... |
| pdfUrl | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-.../pdf/... |
| rawTextUrl | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/... |
| fullText | (only if `includeFullText: true`) |

### Inputs

```json
{
  "sinceDays": 30,
  "subtypes": ["Executive Order", "Proclamation"]
}
````

| input | type | default | notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `sinceDays` | integer | `30` | Lookback window from today. Use `1` for a daily cron. |
| `since` | YYYY-MM-DD | — | Overrides `sinceDays` if set. |
| `until` | YYYY-MM-DD | today | Inclusive. |
| `subtypes` | string\[] | all | Filter by subtype. Empty = all presidential docs. |
| `includeFullText` | boolean | `false` | Adds the raw text body. Slower & heavier. |
| `userAgent` | string | preset | Override only if Federal Register rejects the default. |

### Daily cron pattern

```json
{ "sinceDays": 1, "subtypes": ["Executive Order"] }
```

Schedule daily at 14:00 UTC (after the morning Federal Register drop). Each run yields only new EOs.

### Historical backfill

```json
{ "since": "1994-01-01" }
```

The Federal Register API returns presidential documents back to 1994. Set the range you want; the actor paginates through every page.

### What it doesn't do (and why)

- No White House press scraping — different source, different shape. Use a separate actor.
- No prediction or sentiment analysis — raw cleaned text only.
- No congressional documents — this is Article-II executive branch only.

# Actor input Schema

## `sinceDays` (type: `integer`):

How many days back from today. Use 1 for a daily cron.

## `since` (type: `string`):

Filter by publication\_date >= this. Overrides 'sinceDays' if set.

## `until` (type: `string`):

Inclusive. Defaults to today.

## `subtypes` (type: `array`):

Filter by document subtype. Leave empty to include all.

## `includeFullText` (type: `boolean`):

If true, additionally fetch the document's raw text from federalregister.gov. Increases run time and bandwidth.

## `userAgent` (type: `string`):

Override only if Federal Register rejects the default.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "sinceDays": 30,
  "subtypes": [],
  "includeFullText": false,
  "userAgent": "voiddo studio us-executive-orders ops@voiddo.com"
}
```

# 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("v0iddo/us-executive-orders-tracker").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);
});

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("v0iddo/us-executive-orders-tracker").call(run_input=run_input)

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