CFPB Enforcement Actions Monitor

Monitor the official CFPB enforcement actions listing and export structured, source-linked rows for compliance monitoring, legal operations, risk tracking, research, and public-record workflows.

Use this Actor when you need a repeatable Apify dataset/API output instead of manually checking the CFPB enforcement actions page. It can scan recent listing pages, filter by date or search term, and optionally enrich rows from action detail pages.

Unofficial / not affiliated: this Actor is independently developed and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or maintained by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) or any government agency.

Common use cases

• Monitor newly filed CFPB enforcement actions.
• Track actions mentioning specific products, entities, or topics.
• Maintain a structured log for compliance, legal operations, risk, or research workflows.
• Export official source-linked action rows to JSON, CSV, Excel, or an API integration.
• Feed agent workflows or internal dashboards with bounded, source-linked CFPB records.

What it does

• Fetches the official CFPB enforcement actions listing page with optional pagination.
• Parses listing cards into structured fields such as title, filing date, summary, source URL, and page number.
• Optionally fetches matching detail pages to extract status, categories, products, and linked documents.
• Filters results by date range (filedFrom / filedTo), free-text search term, item limit, and page limit.
• Writes a structured dataset to Apify storage.

• The Actor respects pageLimit and maxItems and does not exceed them.

This Actor does not provide legal, financial, investment, compliance, credit, employment, insurance, eligibility, enforcement, or consumer-impact advice. Do not use output as the sole basis for sensitive decisions.
