## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Austin HVAC Contractors — Fresh Mechanical Permits

Licensed Austin-area A/C contractors verified ACTIVE by real city mechanical permits. Every record: business name, owner, TX license #, permit count, last permit date, address, ZIP, lat/lon. Pay per record.

Filter by county, ZIP, or minimum permit count via input. Data refreshed with each new build; check the build date above.

- Business name + owner name (TX license records)
- TX A/C Contractor license number, type, and expiration
- Count of Austin mechanical permits on file (730 permits across the list)
- Date of their MOST RECENT permit (range: June 2 – July 24, 2026; 58 firms pulled a permit in July)
- Business address, ZIP, and lat/lon (geocoded)
- County + compliance status fields

### What one result contains

One result = one record (one JSON object pushed to your dataset).
Every record carries these 17 fields: entity\_id, county, enriched\_austin\_mechanical\_permits, enriched\_franchise\_layer, enriched\_franchise\_tax\_status, enriched\_hq\_latlon, enriched\_last\_permit\_date, enriched\_permit\_layer, enriched\_premises\_address, enriched\_premises\_zip, kind, layer, license\_expiration, license\_number, license\_type, name, owner.

Example shape:

```json
{
  "entity_id": "...",
  "county": "...",
  "enriched_austin_mechanical_permits": "...",
  "enriched_franchise_layer": "...",
  "enriched_franchise_tax_status": "...",
  "enriched_hq_latlon": "..."
}
```

You are charged once per record returned — no records, no charge.

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("data_place/tx-hvac-fresh-permits").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}`);
