## 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

## Aircraft Owner Leads: FAA Registration Lookup

Every civil aircraft in the United States is registered with the FAA, and the registry is public: owner name, mailing address, aircraft make and model, year, engine, and registration dates. This actor reads the FAA's official daily database release and turns it into clean owner rows, either for specific tail numbers or as filtered lead lists.

Aviation marketing list vendors charge hundreds of dollars for exactly this data. Here you pay per row, from the primary source, updated daily.

### Two modes

**Tail number lookup** - give it N-numbers (`N12345` or `12345`), get the owner and aircraft behind each one. Unknown tail numbers come back as free note rows.

**Filtered lead lists** - leave `nNumbers` empty and combine filters:

- `states` - two-letter codes (TX, FL, CA)
- `manufacturer` - name contains (CESSNA, PIPER, BEECH, CIRRUS, ROBINSON)
- `yearMin` / `yearMax` - year of manufacture range
- `registrantTypes` - individuals, corporations, LLCs, government, and more

### What you get

One row per aircraft:

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `nNumber`, `serialNumber` | Registration and airframe serial |
| `ownerName`, `ownerType` | Registered owner and registrant category |
| `street`, `street2`, `city`, `state`, `zip`, `country` | Owner mailing address |
| `aircraftManufacturer`, `aircraftModel`, `seats` | From the FAA aircraft reference |
| `aircraftType` | Fixed wing single/multi engine, rotorcraft, balloon, glider... |
| `yearManufactured` | Year built |
| `engineManufacturer`, `engineModel`, `engineType` | From the FAA engine reference |
| `airworthinessDate`, `certIssueDate`, `expirationDate`, `lastActionDate` | Registration dates |
| `registrationStatus` | FAA status code (V = valid) |
| `modeSHex` | Mode S transponder code, joins to ADS-B data |

### Typical uses

- **Aviation insurance agents**: owners of aging aircraft in your state, by year range.
- **FBOs, maintenance shops, avionics installers, detailing**: every owner within the states you serve.
- **Parts dealers**: owners of a specific airframe (all CESSNA 182 owners, all ROBINSON R44 owners).
- **Aircraft brokers**: individual owners of a model you have buyers for.
- **Researchers and journalists**: who owns what, joined to flight tracking via the Mode S code.

### Pricing

You pay per aircraft row returned (`aircraft_row`). The first 2 rows of every run are free. Tail numbers that are not in the registry cost nothing.

### Input example

```json
{
    "states": ["TX", "OK"],
    "manufacturer": "CESSNA",
    "yearMin": 1970,
    "yearMax": 1990,
    "registrantTypes": ["individual"],
    "maxRows": 200
}
```

### Notes

- Data is the FAA's Releasable Aircraft Database, refreshed by the FAA every day. Addresses are the registered mailing addresses; the FAA publishes this as public record.
- Deregistered aircraft are not included (they leave the registry).
- The registry stores tail numbers without the leading N; the actor accepts both forms.

# Actor input Schema

## `nNumbers` (type: `array`):

Specific N-numbers to look up, with or without the leading N (N12345 or 12345). Leave empty to use the filters below instead.

## `states` (type: `array`):

Two-letter US state codes to pull owners from, e.g. TX, FL, CA.

## `manufacturer` (type: `string`):

Filter by aircraft manufacturer name, e.g. CESSNA, PIPER, BEECH, CIRRUS, BOEING.

## `yearMin` (type: `integer`):

Only aircraft manufactured in or after this year.

## `yearMax` (type: `integer`):

Only aircraft manufactured in or before this year.

## `registrantTypes` (type: `array`):

Limit to owner types.

## `maxRows` (type: `integer`):

Cap on owner rows returned. Controls total cost.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "nNumbers": [],
  "states": [
    "TX"
  ],
  "registrantTypes": [],
  "maxRows": 25
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
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 = {
    "states": [
        "TX"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("scrapemint/aircraft-owner-leads").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}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
