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 ## Pennsylvania Insurance License Lookup Search Pennsylvania's insurance licensing database (powered by Sircon/Vertafore) for individual producers, agencies, or insurance companies. Returns license number, NPN, license status, lines of authority, business address, and more. ### What it does This actor automates the [PA Sircon Consumer Inquiry](https://www.sircon.com/ComplianceExpress/Inquiry/consumerInquiry.do?nonSscrb=Y) — the official Pennsylvania Insurance Department's public license verification tool. It handles the multi-step form flow, honeypot validation, JavaScript-rendered results, and pagination automatically. **Who needs this:** - Insurance verification platforms - Compliance teams checking PA producer status - Agencies vetting new agents - Recruiters sourcing licensed producers in Pennsylvania - Legal/due diligence workflows ### Input ```json { "entityType": "INDIVIDUAL", "lastName": "Smith", "firstName": "Jane", "city": "", "licenseNumber": "", "licenseType": "", "maxResults": 100 } ```` **Search rules (same as the Sircon form):** - Provide `licenseNumber` alone for an exact lookup, OR - Provide `lastName` + at least one of `firstName` / `city` ### Output Each record pushed to the default dataset: ```json { "id": "7007908", "npn": "7007908", "license_number": "793440", "license_type": "Resident Producer", "name": "Jane Carol Smith", "first_name": "Jane", "middle_name": "Carol", "last_name": "Smith", "address_city": "Philadelphia", "address_state": "PA", "address_zip": "19103", "status": "Active", "is_active": true, "residency": "Yes", "license_effective_date": "2002-06-01", "license_expiration_date": "2024-05-31", "business_phone": "(215) 555-1234", "loas": [ { "loa": "Life", "effective_date": "2002-06-01" }, { "loa": "Accident and Health", "effective_date": "2002-06-01" } ], "jurisdiction": "PA", "source_url": "https://www.sircon.com/ComplianceExpress/Inquiry/consumerInquiryDetail.do?...", "scraped_at": "2026-05-30T03:00:00.000Z" } ``` ### Pricing **Pay-per-result** — you're only charged for records that appear in the dataset. Searches that return 0 results cost nothing. ### Known limitations - Sircon requires two search criteria for name searches (lastName + firstName, or lastName + city). A last name alone is not sufficient. - Maximum 500 records per search (Sircon platform limit). For bulk lookups, break searches by first name initial or license type. - Insurance Companies (entityType = COMPANY) have a different result schema; address and LOA fields may be null. - Results are sourced from Sircon's PA database, which is refreshed regularly but may lag the PA Insurance Department's internal system by a short delay. ### FAQ **Q: Does this work for NPN lookups?**\ A: Yes. Enter the license number in `licenseNumber` field for a direct lookup. **Q: How current is the data?**\ A: Sircon is the official PA licensing system; data is updated in near real-time as licenses are issued, renewed, or revoked. **Q: Can I look up multiple producers in one run?**\ A: Currently one search per run. For batch lookups, use the Apify API to trigger multiple runs in parallel. **Q: What states besides PA does this cover?**\ A: Only Pennsylvania. For WV, IL, IA and other NAIC SBS states, see the companion actors in the ws\_tony store. # Actor input Schema ## `entityType` (type: `string`): Type of entity to search for. ## `lastName` (type: `string`): Last name of the individual or agency name. Required unless License Number is provided. ## `firstName` (type: `string`): First name of the individual producer (optional, improves accuracy). ## `licenseNumber` (type: `string`): PA insurance license number. When provided, overrides name search — only this license is returned. ## `city` (type: `string`): Business city of the producer (optional, used as a second criterion with Last Name). ## `licenseType` (type: `string`): Optionally filter results to a specific license type (e.g. 'Resident Producer'). Leave blank for all types. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of records to return. Sircon limits each search to 500 rows; use Last Name + First Name or License Number for targeted lookups. ## `includeEnriched` (type: `boolean`): When true, visits each producer's detail page to add: phone, full street address, license effective/expiration dates, lines of authority with dates, and company appointments (carrier affiliations). Charged at $0.025/record instead of $0.01. Adds ~2–3 seconds per record. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Apify proxy settings. Datacenter proxies are usually sufficient for Sircon. ## Actor input object example ```json { "entityType": "INDIVIDUAL", "lastName": "", "firstName": "", "licenseNumber": "", "city": "", "licenseType": "", "maxResults": 100, "includeEnriched": false, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("ws_tony/pennsylvania-insurance-license-lookup").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
