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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 ## Moneyfacts Savings Rates Scraper Extract UK's best savings account rates from **Moneyfacts.co.uk** — one of the UK's leading financial data providers since 1988. Scrape the curated best-buy comparison table featuring top easy-access accounts, fixed-rate bonds, notice accounts, regular savings accounts, and cash ISAs with live AER rates, notice periods, and minimum deposits. ### What You Can Scrape - **Easy Access Accounts** — Best easy-access savings with instant or near-instant withdrawal - **Fixed Rate Bonds** — Top fixed-term savings accounts (1-year, 2-year, 5-year etc.) - **Notice Accounts** — Best notice period accounts (e.g. 90-day, 150-day) - **Regular Savings Accounts** — Top monthly regular savings deals - **Cash ISAs** — Best tax-free cash ISA rates From providers including Marcus (Goldman Sachs), Nationwide, Santander, NS&I, Chase, Halifax, HSBC, Oxbury Bank, GB Bank, Afin Bank, and more. ### Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Description | |-----------|------|-------------| | `accountTypeFilter` | Select | Filter by savings account type (Easy Access, Fixed Rate Bond, Notice, Regular Savings, Cash ISA) | | `providerFilter` | Text | Filter by provider name (case-insensitive substring), e.g. "Marcus", "Nationwide", "NS&I" | | `minAer` | Number | Minimum AER percentage to return (e.g. 4.5 for 4.5%+) | | `maxItems` | Integer | Maximum records to return (1–500, default 50) | ### Output Fields | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `provider` | Savings provider name (e.g. "Marcus by Goldman Sachs®", "Santander") | | `accountType` | Type of savings account (e.g. "Easy access account", "Fixed rate bond"). Cash ISA records use a more specific sub-type (e.g. "Easy access Cash ISA", "One-year fixed Cash ISA") — these always contain "Cash ISA" so `accountTypeFilter: "Cash ISA"` matches all of them | | `accountName` | Product name, on Cash ISA records only (e.g. "1 Year Fixed Rate Cash ISA via Meteor Savings") | | `aer` | Annual Equivalent Rate — e.g. "5.01% (includes a bonus)", "4.90%" | | `aerPercent` | Numeric AER as a number (e.g. `5.01`) for easy sorting/filtering | | `noticeTerm` | Notice period or fixed term (e.g. "150 days", "1 year", "None"). Not present on Cash ISA records | | `minDeposit` | Minimum opening deposit required (e.g. "£1", "£1,000") | | `acceptsTransfersIn` | Boolean, on Cash ISA records only — whether the ISA accepts transfers-in from other providers | | `recordType` | Always `savingsDeal` | | `sourceUrl` | URL of the scraped Moneyfacts comparison page (savings or ISA table) | | `scrapedAt` | UTC timestamp when data was collected | ### Example Output ```json { "provider": "Marcus by Goldman Sachs®", "accountType": "Fixed rate bond", "aer": "4.90%", "noticeTerm": "1 year", "minDeposit": "£1", "recordType": "savingsDeal", "sourceUrl": "https://moneyfacts.co.uk/savings/", "scrapedAt": "2026-06-30T12:00:00Z" } ```` ```json { "provider": "Santander", "accountType": "Regular savings account", "aer": "8.00% (includes a bonus)", "noticeTerm": "None", "minDeposit": "£1", "recordType": "savingsDeal", "sourceUrl": "https://moneyfacts.co.uk/savings/", "scrapedAt": "2026-06-30T12:00:00Z" } ``` ### Frequently Asked Questions **Is this free to use?**\ Yes. Moneyfacts.co.uk's comparison tables are publicly accessible without an account. No API keys, cookies, or registration required. **How many records are returned?**\ Moneyfacts publishes "best in class" picks across its savings and Cash ISA best-buy tables — typically around 10–12 records in total: a handful of savings accounts (easy access, fixed rate bond, notice account, regular savings — some categories list more than one top pick) plus about 5 Cash ISA picks (easy access, one-year fixed, two-year fixed, notice, and lifetime ISA). **What is AER?**\ AER (Annual Equivalent Rate) shows the interest rate you'd earn over a full year, accounting for compound interest. It's the standard UK measure for comparing savings rates. **What does "(includes a bonus)" mean?**\ Some accounts include a temporary introductory bonus rate. The AER shown includes this bonus — the rate will drop when the bonus period ends. **Can I filter by account type?**\ Yes, use `accountTypeFilter` to select a specific type like "Fixed rate bond" or "Easy access account". **Can I filter by minimum rate?**\ Yes, use `minAer` (e.g. 4.5) to only return accounts with AER at or above that percentage. **What is the data source?**\ Data is sourced from Moneyfacts.co.uk's publicly accessible best-buy savings tables at moneyfacts.co.uk/savings/. # Actor input Schema ## `accountTypeFilter` (type: `string`): Filter by savings account type. Leave blank for all types. ## `providerFilter` (type: `string`): Filter by provider name (case-insensitive substring match). E.g. 'Marcus', 'Santander', 'Nationwide'. ## `minAer` (type: `number`): Only return accounts with AER at or above this percentage (e.g. 4.5 for 4.5%). ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of records to return (1–500). Default: 50. ## Actor input object example ```json { "accountTypeFilter": "", "maxItems": 50 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `accounts` (type: `string`): Dataset containing all scraped savings account deals from Moneyfacts. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
