# US Productivity Release Dates by Keyword Search

**Use case:** 

Every scheduled BLS release whose name contains "productivity": Productivity and Costs, and its industry variants, over the next year. Reference period, release date, Eastern time and exact UTC moment. For anyone who does not know the exact release code but knows the topic they want to track. Change the keyword to search any other release family, e.g. "earnings" or "employment".

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/yadroo/bls-release-calendar.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
