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 ## Daycare / Care Facility License Status Monitor Query daycare / care facility license status sources and receive normalized JSON records with confidence, provenance, and source URLs. ### What this Actor does ### What it does - Processes configured public sources or user-provided records for focused daycare / care facility license status monitoring. - Emits structured rows with source references, stable identifiers, confidence, warnings, and run summary fields. - Supports sample-mode runs so Apify Store QA and first-time users can inspect output without depending on live third-party availability. ### What it does not do - Does not scrape private, login-only, paywalled, or access-restricted data unless the user provides approved credentials for a source they control. - Does not guarantee every field is available from every source; missing or blocked fields are returned as warnings or nulls. - Does not make legal, financial, compliance, procurement, medical, safety, or regulatory decisions. ### Who this is for Developers, enrichment teams, analysts, and operations teams use this actor when they need focused daycare / care facility license status output instead of a broad generic scraper or manual checking. ### Buyer outcomes - Send a daycare / care facility license status query and receive normalized records for integration. - Prioritize matches with confidence, source URLs, normalized fields, and warnings. - Use predictable JSON in APIs, enrichment flows, CRM, spreadsheets, and review queues. ### Data sources ### Sources monitored public lookup sources and user-provided query inputs ### Input - `sourceMode`: use `sample` for a smoke run or configured query/source modes for integration. - `startUrls`: optional public record, registry, company, permit, recall, or tender URLs when URL-backed lookup is supported. - `sourceIds`: approved lookup source identifiers. - `maxItems`: bounded number of normalized lookup results. - `watchlistTerms`: query terms, identifiers, brands, companies, products, or source filters. - `webhookUrl`: optional destination for integration handoff or review queues. - `outputMode`: use sample records for Store validation or production output for normal runs. ### How it transforms the input - Input: daycare / care facility license status query, identifier, URL, or watchlist term. - Transformation: normalize the query, match against configured public sources, and attach confidence/provenance. - Output: predictable JSON result records with normalized fields, source URLs, confidence, and warnings. ### Output The actor returns normalized API-style result records with query context, source-backed fields, confidence, provenance, warnings, and integration-ready JSON. Family-specific fields to expect: - `query`: Input query or identifier. - `normalizedResult`: Matched and normalized result object. - `confidence`: Match confidence. - `sourceUrl`: Source-backed record URL. - `warnings`: Ambiguity or data-quality warnings. - `recordId`: Stable record ID for exports, dedupe, and downstream joins. - `title`: Human-readable record title for review and export. - `sourceName`: Source identifier used to trace where the record came from. - `sourceUrl`: Direct source URL for review and audit. - `dedupeKey`: Stable key used for delta mode and duplicate suppression. - `retrievedAt`: Timestamp showing when the actor retrieved or generated this record. - `score`: Normalized field for filtering, routing, or downstream review. - `scoreReasons`: Buyer-readable explanation for the score or match. - `confidence`: Normalized field for filtering, routing, or downstream review. - `errors`: Normalized field for filtering, routing, or downstream review. - `runSummary`: Run-level summary for counts, filters, charges, and next actions. ### Pricing This actor uses Apify pay-per-event pricing. Current public listing guidance: $29-$49 / 1,000 launch validation records until public data proof is complete. Charges are tied to buyer-visible value events such as `license-alert`, `dataset-processed`, `record-saved`, `enriched-record`. Small validation runs are supported so you can inspect output before scaling a schedule. - `license-alert`: Charge when Daycare / Care Facility License Status Monitor produces Apify actor run or buyer-defined paid event. Typical price: $0.043. A run that produces 10 matching records charges only for the matched buyer-value events and remains capped by the run limit. - `dataset-processed`: Base charge when Daycare / Care Facility License Status Monitor writes a non-empty default dataset. Typical price: $0.011. A run that produces 10 matching records charges only for the matched buyer-value events and remains capped by the run limit. - `record-saved`: Charge for each buyer-visible result saved by Daycare / Care Facility License Status Monitor. Typical price: $0.003. A run that produces 10 matching records charges only for the matched buyer-value events and remains capped by the run limit. - `enriched-record`: Charge when Daycare / Care Facility License Status Monitor adds match scoring, source evidence, or enrichment to a saved result. Typical price: $0.022. A run that produces 10 matching records charges only for the matched buyer-value events and remains capped by the run limit. - `first-run-cap`: Recommended first run budget cap. Typical price: $3.820. Start with the default small run, inspect the dataset, then raise maxItems or schedule recurring runs. ### API example ```bash curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/zentrafoundry~daycare-care-facility-license-status-monitor/runs" \ + -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \ + -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ + -d '{"maxItems":10,"sourceIds":[],"includeSourceUrls":true,"includeMatchReasons":true,"outputMode":"buyer-ready-records"}' ```` ### Demo run ### Recommended first run ```json { "maxItems": 10, "sourceIds": [], "includeSourceUrls": true, "includeMatchReasons": true, "outputMode": "buyer-ready-records" } ``` ### Sample output Sample status: `sample_unavailable` at https://zentra.nimblique.studio/external/actor-review/samples/daycare-care-facility-license-status-monitor.json. No fake sample is published; run a bounded real sample refresh before using examples in promotion. ### Recommended public tasks ```json [ { "name": "Validate 10 lookup results", "description": "Low-cost validation run for checking query, normalized result, confidence, and source fields.", "input": { "maxItems": 10, "sourceIds": [], "includeSourceUrls": true, "includeMatchReasons": true, "outputMode": "buyer-ready-records", "actorSlug": "daycare-care-facility-license-status-monitor" } }, { "name": "Daily lookup refresh", "description": "Recurring batch for watched queries and normalized source-backed result changes.", "schedule": "Daily during local business hours", "input": { "maxItems": 25, "sourceIds": [], "includeSourceUrls": true, "includeMatchReasons": true, "outputMode": "buyer-ready-records", "actorSlug": "daycare-care-facility-license-status-monitor" } } ] ``` ### Example use cases - Embed daycare / care facility license status lookup into API, CRM, enrichment, or review workflows. - Normalize source-backed query results into predictable JSON fields. - Return confidence, source URLs, and machine-readable context for each match. - Use low-volume validation runs before integrating into production systems. ### Trust and compliance - Uses public lookup sources and user-provided query inputs. - Keeps source URLs and source identifiers in output records for auditability. - Does not require private credentials unless a source is explicitly configured for approved authenticated access. ### Reliability and QA - Prefilled Apify Store QA input runs in sample mode and should finish within the automated quality window. - Empty input is handled with deterministic sample or diagnostic output instead of a crash. - Demo/sample runs suppress buyer-value charges while still writing representative dataset rows. - Production runs use bounded `maxItems`, source references, warnings, and run summaries so blocked or changed targets are visible. ### Limitations - Results depend on public-source availability, source uptime, and source update cadence. - Public sources can revise records after publication; rerun scheduled tasks for fresh evidence. - Scores and match reasons are decision-support signals, not legal, financial, procurement, medical, safety, or regulatory advice. - Large production runs can cost more than the default smoke run; start small, inspect output, then scale schedules. ### Legal and responsible use Use this Actor only for public data or data you are authorized to process. You are responsible for complying with applicable laws, marketplace terms, robots policies, privacy rules, and source-specific limits. ### Support Open an issue on the Actor page with the run ID, input summary, expected result, and observed result. Do not include secrets, cookies, auth headers, or private account data. ### FAQ **Can I run this without URLs?** Yes. The default `sample` mode is designed to succeed without user-supplied URLs, and URL-backed runs can use `startUrls` when needed. **Can I schedule it?** Yes. Use `sinceLastRun`, `watchlistTerms`, and optional `webhookUrl` to turn the actor into a recurring alert or report workflow. **How do I verify value before scaling?** Run the recommended first-run input, review the sample output fields, then increase `maxItems` or schedule recurring runs after the dataset matches your use case. # Actor input Schema ## `buyerQuery` (type: `string`): Buyer-safe query or scope for the records returned by this product. ## `taskIntent` (type: `string`): Stable product-specific purpose for this saved Apify task. ## `sourceMode` (type: `string`): Sample emits public-safe Regulatory Status Signal rows.
