UK Insolvency Notice Alerts: Gazette Winding-Up Petitions

Every new UK corporate insolvency notice in The Gazette: winding-up petitions and orders, administrations and liquidations, filtered by type, keyword or company number. Personal bankruptcy notices are never returned. Only-new-notice alerts for credit control and trade-credit teams, with optional Discord, Slack or Telegram delivery. Charged per notice found.

How to use

1. In the Apify Console. Open the actor page and click Start — the companyNumbers field is already pre-filled with a working example. Results land in the run's dataset as soon as each item is found.
2. Via the API. Call it directly with a POST request — no Console needed once you have an API token:

   curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/accountable_eel~uk-insolvency-notice-alerts/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_TOKEN>" \
     -X POST \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"companyNumbers":[""]}'
   

3. On a schedule. Save this actor as an Apify Task with the input you want, then add a Schedule (hourly, daily, weekly) so it runs on its own — no server of your own required.

Input

{
  "companyNumbers": [
    ""
  ]
}

Optional. One Companies House number per line (8 characters, e.g. 08706800 or SC123456). Leave empty to watch every corporate notice of the chosen type. Accepted formats: 08706800, SC123456.

noticeTypes picks the Gazette notice family (winding-up petition by default). Optional keywords and companyNumbers narrow the feed. sinceDays defaults to 3. Turn on onlyNewSinceLastRun for monitoring.
