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 ## Florida FACTS Contract Scraper ### Overview Extract Florida state contracts, grants, and purchase orders from the Florida Accountability Contract Tracking System (FACTS). Search by agency, vendor, contract value, dates, and commodity type. Get contract numbers, vendor details, amendment history, and downloadable documents. ### Features - Search by keywords to find specific results - Control output volume with configurable result limits - Built-in proxy support for reliable data collection ### Use Cases - **Track** - Track state and local government data and permits - **Monitor** - Monitor regulatory filings and public records - **Build** - Build databases for civic tech and transparency projects - **Aggregate** - Aggregate local government data for community research ### Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Description | Default | |-----------|------|-------------|---------| | `maxItems` | integer | Maximum number of contracts/grants/POs to scrape | `100` | | `agency` | string | Filter by Florida state agency. Leave empty for all agencies. | `` | | `vendor` | string | Search by vendor/grantor name (partial match supported) | `` | | `minValue` | integer | Minimum dollar value filter | `0` | | `maxValue` | integer | Maximum dollar value filter (0 = no limit) | `0` | | `dateFrom` | string | Filter contracts starting from this date (MM/DD/YYYY format) | `` | | `dateTo` | string | Filter contracts ending before this date (MM/DD/YYYY format) | `` | | `commodityType` | string | Filter by commodity or service category (e.g., 'Information Technology', 'Con... | `` | | `contractId` | string | Search by specific agency-assigned contract ID | `` | | `recordType` | string | Type of records to retrieve | `all` | | `includeDocuments` | boolean | Extract links to downloadable contract documents (increases scrape time) | false | | `includeAmendments` | boolean | Extract amendment history for each contract (increases scrape time) | false | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Proxy settings for the scraper. Not required for this site. | `{...}` | ### Output Example Each result contains structured data like this: ```json { "contractNumber": "LIC-2025-001", "vendorName": "Florida FACTS Contract Sample Item", "agency": "Department of Commerce", "contractValue": "Sample contractValue", "startDate": "2025-01-15", "endDate": "2025-01-15", "contractType": "Sample contractType", "status": "Active", "scrapedAt": "2025-01-15" } ```` ### Pricing This actor uses pay-per-result pricing: - **$0.003** per result - **$3.00** per 1,000 results No monthly fees. You only pay for what you scrape. [Apify Free plan](https://apify.com/pricing) includes $5/month in platform credits. ### How to Run #### Apify Console 1.
