Scrapes the USGBC project database — the canonical global registry of LEED-certified buildings. Returns certification level, rating system, location, floor area, total LEED points, and more for 113,000+ projects across 180+ countries.

USGBC publishes this data through a browsable interface at usgbc.org/projects but offers no bulk export. This actor queries the same Elasticsearch backend that powers the project browser and returns structured JSON.

What It Returns

One record per certified project. All data comes directly from the USGBC registry — no HTML scraping, no JavaScript rendering required.

Output Fields

How It Works

1. Takes your filters (country, certification level, rating system, keyword).
2. Posts a query to the USGBC Elasticsearch backend — the same API the usgbc.org/projects browser uses.
3. Paginates through results in batches of 100 until maxItems is reached.
4. Returns one record per project, sorted by certification date descending.

No proxy required. No JavaScript rendering. A single POST per page of results.

Input Configuration

All filters are optional. Run with only maxItems to get the most recently certified projects across the full global registry.

Example: US Platinum buildings, New Construction

{
"country":"US",
"certificationLevel":["Platinum"],
"ratingSystem":["New Construction"],
"maxItems":500
}

Example: All LEED-certified schools

{
"ratingSystem":["Schools"],
"maxItems":1000
}

Example: Keyword search

{
"searchQuery":"hospital",
"certificationLevel":["Gold","Platinum"],
"maxItems":200
}

Pricing

~$0.10 per run + $0.001 per record. Scraping 10,000 projects costs roughly $10.10. The full 113k-record database runs to about $113.10.
