## 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.

### Frequently Asked Questions
**Which entities does this cover?**\
It covers the full Colorado Secretary of State business entity registry, over 3 million domestic and foreign LLCs, corporations, partnerships, cooperatives and associations. Each record includes the registered agent contact when the state has one on file.
**Can I get a contact email for each company?**\
Yes. Turn on the optional contact-enrichment add-on to append a public business contact email, a contact person's name and job title, and a confidence score to each result, on top of the official registered-agent details. The add-on is off by default and only runs on the records you choose, so you decide when to enrich.
**How many records can I pull in one run?**\
You set the limit with the Max items input. Small lookups return in a single request, and large runs page through the dataset automatically. The source is the official Colorado open data registry, so multi-thousand-record runs are practical; supply your own free Socrata app token in the input to lift the public rate limit on very large jobs.
**How do I filter results?**\
Use the Search text field for a free-text match across the name, agent and addresses (for example "consulting" or "brewing"), then narrow with the entity status, entity type, and "formed on or after / before" date filters. You can also sort by newest or oldest formation date to track recent registrations.
**Why is entityStatusDate sometimes empty?**\
Colorado does not expose a dedicated status-date column. When the state appends the effective date to the entity name (for example "ACME LLC, Delinquent May 1, 2016") the scraper parses it into entityStatusDate; entities in Good Standing have no such suffix, so the field is null.
**What happens when a field is missing for an entity?**\
Fields that the registry does not hold for a given entity, such as a separate mailing address or an organization-type agent, are returned as null rather than guessed. If a request fails the record carries an error message and the run continues.

Export the scraped data to **JSON, CSV or Excel**, pull it as a **dataset** through the Apify **API**, or wire it into your app with **no code**. This web scraper and data extractor also works for bulk data extraction and scheduled runs.
For AI agents: this Actor is available on **x402**, Apify's agentic payment standard built with Coinbase. An AI agent can discover, pay for and run it on its own with a funded wallet and a single HTTP request: no account, no subscription, no API key and no human in the loop. It also runs as an **MCP** tool inside Claude, Cursor and other AI clients out of the box. Learn more about [x402 agentic payments on Apify](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/x402).
