## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## SEA O&G Regulatory Monitor

Monitors **regulatory bodies across Southeast Asia** for new and updated regulations, guidelines, circulars, and enforcement changes relevant to oil & gas and industrial operations.

**Currently covers:** DOSH Malaysia 🇲🇾, MOM Singapore 🇸🇬, DOE Malaysia 🇲🇾, Kemnaker Indonesia 🇮🇩

### Why This Exists

If you work in O&G, petrochemicals, or heavy industry in Southeast Asia, you need to track regulatory changes from multiple agencies:

- **DOSH (JKKP) Malaysia** — Occupational safety & health regulations, guidelines, enforcement
- **MOM Singapore** — Workplace Safety & Health circulars, legislative changes
- **DOE Malaysia** — Environmental regulations, EIA requirements, emission standards
- **Kemnaker Indonesia** — Labor and workplace-safety news plus regulatory documents via JDIH

Until now, you had to check each site manually. This actor does it all in one API call.

### Use Cases

- 🏭 **O&G operators** — Stay compliant across Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia regulatory frameworks
- 👷 **Safety consultants** — Monitor DOSH and MOM circulars for client advisories
- ⚖️ **Compliance teams** — Track environmental regulation changes from DOE Malaysia
- 📋 **EHS managers** — Get automated alerts when new guidelines affect your operations
- 🏗️ **Industrial project managers** — Monitor EIA and regulatory changes that affect project timelines

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `sources` | Array | `["dosh_my", "mom_sg", "doe_my", "kemnaker_id"]` | Regulatory bodies to scan |
| `maxItems` | Integer | `50` | Max updates to return (1-200) |
| `sinceDays` | Integer | `30` | Only return updates from last N days (1-365) |

#### Example

```json
{
  "sources": ["dosh_my", "mom_sg", "kemnaker_id"],
  "maxItems": 20,
  "sinceDays": 7
}
````

### Output

Each item contains:

| Field | Type | Example |
|-------|------|---------|
| `source` | String | `"DOSH Malaysia"` |
| `country` | String | `"MY"` |
| `title` | String | `"Guidelines on the use of chemicals for disinfection"` |
| `pubDate` | String | `"2025-11-19"` |
| `type` | String | `"circular"`, `"regulation"`, `"guideline"`, `"enforcement"`, `"consultation"`, `"news"` |
| `summary` | String | Brief description of the update |
| `url` | String | Direct URL to the source document |
| `tags` | Array | `["wsh", "singapore", "chemical"]` |
| `canonicalUrl` | String | Canonical source URL when the surfaced URL is a file asset or redirect |
| `dateSource` | String | Provenance of the date, e.g. `time_tag`, `filename`, `wp_json_modified`, `card_text` |
| `dateConfidence` | Number | Confidence score that `pubDate` reflects the real publication/effective date |
| `isRecentVerified` | Boolean | Whether the item passed the verified recent-date gate |
| `contentClass` | String | `regulatory`, `consultation`, `enforcement`, `news`, `general` |

#### Example Output

```json
{
  "source": "MOM Singapore",
  "country": "SG",
  "title": "Vertical Lifters in Conveyor Systems",
  "pubDate": "2026-03-16",
  "type": "circular",
  "summary": "WSH Circular on safety requirements for vertical lifters in conveyor systems",
  "url": "https://www.mom.gov.sg/-/media/mom/documents/safety-health/circulars/2026/circular-20260316-vertical-lifters-in-conveyor-systems.pdf",
  "tags": ["wsh", "singapore", "lifting"]
}
```

### Pricing

- **Full scan (all sources):** $0.50/run
- **Single source:** $0.25/run

### Integration Examples

#### Schedule daily scans (Apify Console)

1. Open the actor in Apify Console
2. Go to **Schedule** tab → **Create schedule**
3. Set frequency: **Daily** (or **Weekly** for compliance monitoring)
4. Output is automatically stored in your dataset

#### Use via API

```python
import requests

resp = requests.post(
    "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/42far~sea-regulatory-monitor/runs",
    headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"},
    json={"sources": ["dosh_my", "mom_sg", "doe_my", "kemnaker_id"], "maxItems": 20},
)
run_id = resp.json()["data"]["id"]
```

### Local Verification (without Apify installed)

If you want to verify the scraping/ranking pipeline locally without the `apify` package, call the extracted pipeline directly:

```python
import asyncio
from src.main import run_scan

result = asyncio.run(run_scan(["mom_sg", "dosh_my", "kemnaker_id"], max_items=20, since_days=30))
for item in result["updates"]:
    print(item.pub_date, item.source, item.title)
```

#### Use with MCP (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf)

Connect via the Apify MCP server — your Actor becomes a tool your AI agents can call directly for compliance intelligence.

### FAQ

**How often should I run this?**

- **Daily** — if you're monitoring regulatory changes that affect active projects
- **Weekly** — for general compliance awareness
- The cost is $0.50/run regardless of frequency

**What happens if a source website changes format?**
The actor returns fewer items or an error for that source. We monitor and fix source changes. Check the Issues tab for updates.

**Can I get only new items since the last scan?**
Use `sinceDays: 7` for weekly scans. Combine with your own URL deduplication on your end.

**What sources will be added next?**
PETRONAS Technical Standards, EMA Singapore (energy regulations), and Suruhanjaya Tenaga (Energy Commission Malaysia) are on the roadmap.

**Is this suitable for US or European regulations?**
No — this focuses specifically on SEA regulatory bodies (Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia). For US OSHA/EPA compliance, see ryanclinton's actors on the Store.

**Do I need an Apify account to run this?**
Yes. Sign up free at apify.com — your $5 free credit covers ~10 full scans. For regular use, upgrade to a paid plan.

### What Makes This Different

- **Niche specificity** — Not "any website" but SEA O\&G regulatory bodies
- **Pre-parsed output** — Structured fields (country, type, tags) not raw HTML
- **Multi-source aggregation** — One API call instead of four separate scrapers
- **Domain-aware** — Returns regulation types (circular, guideline, enforcement) not generic "updates"

### Roadmap

- 🇲🇾 **PETRONAS Technical Standards** — Track PTS updates
- 🇲🇾 **Energy Commission (Suruhanjaya Tenaga)** — Licensing & codes
- 🇸🇬 **EMA Singapore** — Energy market regulations
- 🇲🇾 **NIOSH Malaysia** — Safety training & certification changes
- 📧 **Email alerts** — Scheduled runs with notification
