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 ## UK Insolvency Notices — London Gazette Monitor Monitor **official UK insolvency notices** from The Gazette — the Crown's official journal of public record (London, Edinburgh & Belfast editions). Every corporate insolvency event in the UK is legally required to be published here, and this actor gives you a clean, structured feed of it. ### What you can track - **Petitions to Wind Up** (code 2450) — a creditor has petitioned the court to close a company: the earliest public distress signal - **Winding-Up Orders** (2451) — the court has ordered liquidation - **Resolutions for Winding-up** (2441) — shareholders have voted to liquidate - **Appointment of Liquidators** (2443) — insolvency practitioner appointed - **Appointment of Administrators** (2410) — company entering administration - **Notices to Creditors** (2444) — claim deadlines for creditors - …or **any other Gazette notice code** (e.g. 2901 Deceased Estates) — just add the code ### Who uses this data - **Credit control & finance teams** — early warning when a customer or supplier starts failing; a winding-up petition often appears weeks before anything shows on credit files - **Debt recovery & insolvency practitioners** — new cases as they publish - **Asset & stock buyers** — companies entering liquidation need to dispose of assets fast - **Competitors & recruiters** — a failing company's customers and staff are in play - **Risk & compliance platforms** — structured insolvency events to feed your models ### What you get Each notice includes: | Field | Example | |---|---| | `title` | MEDSTAAR LIMITED | | `noticeType` | Petitions to Wind Up (Companies) | | `noticeCode` | 2450 | | `publishedDate` | 2026-07-15T00:10:21 | | `contentPreview` | First lines of the official notice text | | `noticeUrl` | Direct link to the full official notice | | `latitude` / `longitude` | Geo-point where provided | ### Typical usage - **Weekly distress monitor:** keep the default notice types, set `daysBack` to 7, and [schedule](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) weekly - **Watch a specific company or town:** set `searchText` - **Historical research:** set explicit `publishedFrom` / `publishedTo` dates — the archive goes back years No API key, no login — The Gazette's data service is free and official. ### Export & integrations Results land in an Apify dataset — export **CSV, Excel, JSON**, or connect Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, Slack, and webhooks via Apify integrations. ### Data source & licence Data comes from [The Gazette](https://www.thegazette.co.uk/)'s official data service and is available under the Open Government Licence. This actor is not affiliated with The Gazette or TSO. Notices are public record by law. --- **Need something more custom?** Insolvency notices cross-referenced with Companies House data, director histories, enriched contact details, or a fully managed monitoring pipeline — message me via my Apify profile and I'll build it. # Actor input Schema ## `noticeTypes` (type: `array`): Gazette notice type codes to monitor. Corporate insolvency: 2450 = Petitions to Wind Up, 2451 = Winding-Up Orders, 2441 = Resolutions for Winding-up, 2443 = Appointment of Liquidators, 2444 = Notices to Creditors, 2410 = Appointment of Administrators. Any other Gazette notice code works too (e.g. 2901 = Deceased Estates). Leave empty for ALL notice types. ## `daysBack` (type: `integer`): Fetch notices published in the last N days. Ignored if explicit dates are set below. ## `publishedFrom` (type: `string`): Explicit start publish date. Overrides Days Back when set. ## `publishedTo` (type: `string`): Explicit end publish date. Defaults to today. ## `searchText` (type: `string`): Free-text search across notices — company name, town, keyword. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum notices to return. ## Actor input object example ```json { "noticeTypes": [ "2450", "2451", "2441", "2443", "2410" ], "daysBack": 7, "maxResults": 500 } ```` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "noticeTypes": [ "2450", "2451", "2441", "2443", "2410" ], "daysBack": 7, "maxResults": 500 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("devon_gtme/uk-insolvency-notices-gazette").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
