## 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.

## 📡 FCC Licenses Scraper

> 🚀 **Export FCC ULS 3650 MHz wireless license locations in seconds. Call sign, licensee, coordinates, frequency, antenna details.**

The FCC Universal Licensing System (ULS) 3650 dataset covers wireless broadband licenses in the 3650-3700 MHz band. This actor queries the official Socrata API on opendata.fcc.gov and outputs one row per license location.

Coverage spans every state, every status (Active, Pending, Deleted, Granted, Terminated), with full call sign, licensee, geographic coordinates, antenna specs, and frequency data.

| 🎯 Target Audience | 💡 Primary Use Cases |
|---|---|
| Wireless ISPs | Compete in 3650 band |
| Spectrum analysts | Map licensed deployments |
| Real-estate developers | Identify nearby transmitters |
| Engineers | Locate interference sources |

### 📋 What the FCC Licenses Scraper does

- Pulls FCC ULS 3650 license locations from opendata.fcc.gov
- Filters by state, application status, call sign, licensee name
- Returns call sign, licensee, coordinates, frequency band, antenna, status
- Direct link to the official FCC ULS license page

> 💡 **Why it matters:** Spectrum licenses define competitive footprints. Querying them by state in seconds beats CSV downloads.

### 📊 Data fields

Each record includes: `applicationReceiptDate`, `applicationStatus`, `callSign`, `expiredDate`, `fileNumber`, `frns`, `latitude`, `licenseId`, `licenseName`, `locationCity`, `locationCounty`, `locationName`, `locationState`, `results`, `statusDate`. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.

> ⚠️ **Good to Know:** This is the ULS 3650 Locations dataset (3650-3700 MHz). For other ULS bands, additional scrapers can be built on the same Socrata pattern.
