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 Sunbiz Business Scraper Scrape Florida business registration data from the official [Sunbiz.org](https://sunbiz.org) database - the Florida Division of Corporations. ### Features - **Multiple search types**: Search by entity name, document number, officer/director name, or registered agent - **Comprehensive data extraction**: Company details, filing information, addresses, officers, and annual reports - **Status filtering**: Filter results by Active or Inactive status - **Configurable depth**: Choose what data to include (officers, annual reports, document images) ### Output Data Each business record includes: | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `corporationName` | Official business name | | `entityType` | LLC, Corporation, Partnership, etc. | | `documentNumber` | Florida document number | | `feiEinNumber` | Federal EIN/Tax ID | | `status` | ACTIVE, INACTIVE, etc. | | `dateFiled` | Original filing date | | `effectiveDate` | Effective date of formation | | `principalAddress` | Principal place of business | | `mailingAddress` | Mailing address | | `registeredAgent` | Registered agent name and address | | `officers` | Array of officers/directors with titles | | `annualReports` | Filing history of annual reports | ### Example Output ```json { "corporationName": "ACME CONSTRUCTION LLC", "entityType": "Florida Limited Liability Company", "documentNumber": "L21000045189", "feiEinNumber": "86-2379330", "status": "ACTIVE", "dateFiled": "01/25/2021", "principalAddress": "123 Main St, Miami, FL 33161", "registeredAgent": { "name": "John Smith", "address": "123 Main St, Miami, FL 33161" }, "officers": [ { "title": "MGR", "name": "John Smith", "address": "123 Main St, Miami, FL 33161" } ], "annualReports": [ { "year": "2024", "filedDate": "04/29/2024" }, { "year": "2023", "filedDate": "04/27/2023" } ] } ```` ### Use Cases - **Lead generation**: Find businesses in specific industries - **Due diligence**: Verify company registration and status - **Competitive analysis**: Research competitors' corporate structure - **Compliance monitoring**: Track annual report filings - **Business intelligence**: Aggregate Florida business data ### Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Description | |-----------|------|-------------| | `searchTerm` | string | Required.
