## 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

## US Accountants Directory — Accounting Firms Scraper 🧮

**Extract every accounting and CPA firm in any US state — name, address, phone, website, opening hours and GPS coordinates. A clean, ready-to-use B2B lead list from OpenStreetMap. No API key.**

Point it at a US state (or a city bounding box) and get a structured list of accounting and tax practices — perfect for finance-industry lead generation, partner recruiting, market mapping and datasets.

***

### What you get per firm

`name` · `address` · `city` · `state` · `postcode` · `phone` · `website` · `email` · `opening_hours` · `lat` · `lon` · `category` · `osm_id` · `source_url`.

### Examples

**All accounting firms in Texas**

```json
{ "state": "TX" }
```

**By full state name**

```json
{ "state": "New York" }
```

**A single city (bounding box: south,west,north,east)**

```json
{ "bbox": "41.80,-87.75,42.00,-87.55" }
```

### Use cases

- **Finance-industry lead generation** — outreach lists for software, payroll and services vendors.
- **Market mapping** — where accounting firms cluster across a region.
- **Directories & datasets** — build or enrich a professional-services directory.

### Notes

- **No API key.** Uses the keyless OpenStreetMap Overpass API.
- **Coverage** comes from OpenStreetMap and is strongest in and around cities; phone/website fill varies by area.
- **Canada too:** Canadian provinces (e.g. `ON`, `BC`) work as the state input.
- OpenStreetMap data is © OpenStreetMap contributors, licensed under the ODbL — attribute accordingly when you republish.

# Actor input Schema

## `state` (type: `string`):

US state as a 2-letter code (e.g. "CA", "TX", "NY") or full name (e.g. "New York"). Canadian provinces (e.g. "ON", "BC") also work.

## `bbox` (type: `string`):

Optional geographic box "south,west,north,east" (decimal degrees) to use instead of a state — e.g. a single city area.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Cap on firms returned.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "state": "CA",
  "maxResults": 1000
}
```

# 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 = {
    "state": "CA"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("straightforward_hydra/us-accountants-directory").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();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "state": "CA" }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("straightforward_hydra/us-accountants-directory").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
