This Apify Actor extracts building permits, business licenses, and development project data from local government websites. It uses a lightweight CheerioCrawler to parse HTML tables and lists, delivering structured permit-level data for real estate, contracting, and urban research use cases.

Features

  • Supports multiple government permit portals
  • Extracts key fields: permit number, issue date, address, description, status, type
  • Auto-detects city/jurisdiction from URL
  • Handles pagination via rel=next or query parameters
  • Configurable proxy support

Input

  • startUrls: Array of permit listing URLs
  • maxItems: Maximum number of records to extract (0 = unlimited)
  • proxy: Proxy configuration (Apify Proxy or custom)

Output

Each record includes:

  • permitNumber
  • issueDate (YYYY-MM-DD)
  • address
  • description
  • status
  • permitType
  • city
  • sourceUrl

Usage

Provide a list of supported permit portal URLs. The actor will automatically scrape and structure the data.

Example start URL: https://www.buildingpermit.com/reports/monthly.html

Example Output

{
"permitNumber":"B1234567",
"issueDate":"2023-10-15",
"address":"123 Main St, Los Angeles, CA",
"description":"Residential renovation permit",
"status":"Active",
"permitType":"Building",
"city":"Los Angeles",
"sourceUrl":"https://permits.lacity.org/..."
}

Development

This project uses TypeScript and Crawlee. To run locally:

npm start
