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 ## US Product Recall Compliance Monitor > Match CPSC product recalls and FDA food enforcement records against brands and keywords using official public APIs. ### What this Actor does Monitor official U.S. consumer-product and food recall feeds for brands, hazards, and product terms. The Actor normalizes CPSC and FDA records, explains each match, assigns a non-legal severity label, and preserves the official source. ### Typical use cases - Marketplace seller compliance monitoring - Importer and distributor watchlists - Brand and product safety alerts - Insurance and risk-research feeds ### Quick start ```json { "sinceDate": "2026-07-01", "untilDate": "2026-07-13", "sources": ["cpsc", "fda"], "brands": ["Acme"], "keywords": ["battery", "allergen"], "onlyMatches": true, "maxResults": 50 } ```` ### Input | Field | Required | Description | |---|---:|---| | `sinceDate` | Yes | ISO start date. | | `untilDate` | Yes | ISO end date; maximum window 31 days. | | `sources` | Yes | `cpsc`, `fda`, or both. | | `brands` | No | Up to 20 brand terms. | | `keywords` | No | Up to 20 product or hazard terms. | | `onlyMatches` | No | Omit unmatched official records. | | `maxResults` | No | Combined hard cap, maximum 100. | ### Pricing draft **Pay per event:** `matched-recall` — **$0.030** for one official record returned after filtering. ### Sources and compliance The Actor uses the official CPSC Recall Retrieval Web Service and openFDA Food Enforcement API. Results can be delayed, incomplete, corrected, or withdrawn and are informational only — not legal, medical, or regulatory advice. No consumer contact fields are emitted. ### Reliability, support, and privacy The Actor enforces a 31-day window, a combined output cap of 100, a 10 MB streamed CPSC response cap, a 5 MB streamed FDA response cap, 45-second source timeouts, and the Apify charge allowance. CPSC does not expose a result-limit parameter, so its date-bounded response is rejected before JSON parsing if the byte cap is exceeded. Use the Apify support channel with a run ID and redacted input. Never include credentials. Users control Apify storage retention. # Actor input Schema ## `sinceDate` (type: `string`): Required ISO date YYYY-MM-DD. Windows are limited to 31 days; exact calendar validity is enforced at runtime. ## `untilDate` (type: `string`): Required ISO date YYYY-MM-DD, no more than 31 days after the start; exact calendar validity is enforced at runtime. ## `sources` (type: `array`): Select CPSC consumer products, FDA food enforcement, or both. ## `brands` (type: `array`): Optional case-insensitive brand watchlist. ## `keywords` (type: `array`): Optional product, ingredient, or hazard terms. ## `onlyMatches` (type: `boolean`): When enabled, omit official records that match no brand or keyword. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Hard combined output cap. ## Actor input object example ```json { "sources": [ "cpsc", "fda" ], "onlyMatches": true, "maxResults": 100 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): Normalized official recall records. # 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 = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("enfex/us-product-recall-compliance-monitor").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 📖?
