## 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.

### Who is it for

| Use case | Who benefits |
|---|---|
| Advocacy and lobbying | Teams building contact lists to reach legislators by state and district |
| Civic tech | Builders powering "contact your representative" tools and dashboards |
| Government affairs | Public-affairs and PAC teams mapping decision-makers by chamber and party |
| Research and journalism | Analysts and reporters tracking who holds each seat |

### How to use it

1. Enter a **state** two-letter code (for example `ca`, `tx`, `ny`, `fl`).
2. Optionally pick a **chamber** (upper or lower) and a **party** filter.
3. Set **Max Items** and run. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull it through the Apify API.

### Frequently Asked Questions

**Which legislators are included?**
The current sitting members of the state legislature, both the upper chamber (Senate) and the lower chamber (House or Assembly), with their party, district and contact details.

**Do records include email and phone?**
Yes, where the official record publishes them. Each legislator can include a direct email, a capitol office phone and address and a district office phone and address.

**Can I get just one chamber or one party?**
Yes. Use the chamber filter for upper or lower, and the party filter to keep only legislators whose party matches (for example Democratic or Republican).

**Does it show committee memberships?**
Yes. Each legislator includes the committees they sit on and the role they hold there (chair, vice chair or member), so you can map decision-makers by committee. It is on by default and can be switched off with the "Include committee memberships" toggle. Each record also carries the member's full term / role history and date of birth where published.

**Which states are supported?**
All US states, plus the District of Columbia and territories that publish a legislature, one state per run.

**How fresh is the data?**
Contact details are read at run time so each record reflects the latest published profile (see observedAt).

### Export, API and AI agents (x402 + MCP)

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).
