Entity Verification

AI-generated

Summary

Verify a contractor's SAM.gov registration

Inputs

  • recipientName (required) — Company name or 12-character UEI to verify
  • samGovApiKey — Your SAM.gov API key (get free at api.sam.gov)
  • waitForCompletion — Whether to wait for extraction to complete

Output shape

Each returned item contains the actor's extracted verification data augmented with _operation, _runId, and _datasetId. If waitForCompletion is false, the node returns immediately with {success: true, status: 'RUNNING', runId, datasetId, operation} and expects subsequent Get Run Status checks.

Results are fetched from the Apify dataset only when waitForCompletion is true (default).

Examples

Example 1: Verify UEI ABC123DEF456 with immediate return

recipientName=ABC123DEF456&samGovApiKey=***&waitForCompletion=false → returns RUNNING status + runId

Example 2: Verify company name and wait for results

recipientName=ACME Corporation&waitForCompletion=true → returns full verification items after actor completion
