What this Actor does

Lookup FEMA NFHL flood-zone attributes for property addresses or coordinates and push normalized flood-risk records to the default dataset.

Input example

{
"lookups":[
"42.4222,-71.4655"
]
}

Input fields

Provide one or more US addresses or lat,lng coordinate strings to look up in FEMA NFHL.

• lookups (array, user input): US property addresses or lat,lng coordinate strings.
• apiBaseUrl (string, optional override): Override of the upstream API base URL. Defaults to runtime.baseUrl from service.json.

Output dataset

Each dataset item is one upstream flood-zone lookup response.

• input: Original lookup value.
• normalized: Normalized address or coordinate.
• zone: FEMA flood zone code.
• risk_level: low, medium, or high.
• requiresFloodInsurance: Whether SFHA flags suggest flood insurance review.
• fipsCounty: County FIPS code from Census Geocoder.
• confidence: Confidence from 0 to 1.
• fetched_at: Fetch timestamp.
• result: Full upstream API response.

Developer notes

Set FEMA_FLOOD_ZONE_LOOKUP_API_KEY as an Apify secret environment variable. The Actor forwards it as X-API-Key to the upstream API. Use apiBaseUrl only for local or staging QA. Production runs default to the deployed API base URL from service.json. For advanced testing, a requests array can call explicit API paths; normal users should use the service-specific fields above.
