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 ## EU Enforcement & Compliance Search API Search three official European enforcement sources through one Apify Actor: - EDPB Register of final one-stop-shop GDPR decisions - European Commission Competition Case Search - European Commission Safety Gate dangerous-product alerts The Actor accepts a company, product, legal topic, alert number, or case number and returns normalized dataset records with official source links. ### Why this Actor Official EU enforcement data is split across unrelated portals with different fields, filters, and output formats. This Actor provides one input and one output contract that can feed due-diligence tools, market monitoring, compliance dashboards, research pipelines, and alerts. It is intentionally different from sanctions-screening Actors and generic EUR-Lex scrapers. It focuses on enforcement actions and dangerous-product alerts. ### Input ```json { "query": "Google", "sources": ["edpb", "competition", "safety_gate"], "competitionCaseTypes": ["AT", "M", "SA", "DMA", "FS"], "countries": [], "dateFrom": "2021-01-01", "dateTo": "2026-07-23", "lookbackYears": 5, "maxResults": 50 } ```` `dateFrom` and `dateTo` are optional. If `dateFrom` is omitted, the Actor searches the number of years specified by `lookbackYears`. Country filters use ISO alpha-2 codes such as `DE`, `FR`, `IT`, and `RO`. ### Output Each dataset item represents one official record: ```json { "source": "competition", "recordType": "competition-case", "recordId": "AT.39740", "title": "Google Search (Shopping)", "summary": "Commission case summary...", "authority": "European Commission — Directorate-General for Competition", "country": null, "decisionDate": "2017-06-26T22:00:00.000Z", "publicationDate": null, "caseType": "Antitrust / cartel", "entities": ["Google"], "legalBasis": [], "topics": ["Antitrust / cartel"], "outcome": null, "riskLevel": null, "officialUrl": "https://competition-cases.ec.europa.eu/cases/AT.39740", "documentUrls": [], "imageUrls": [], "matchedQuery": "Google", "retrievedAt": "2026-07-23T12:00:00.000Z", "sourceData": {} } ``` The `REPORT` key in the default key-value store contains per-source status, duration, result counts, and partial-failure information. ### Source-specific behavior Competition Case Search uses the Commission's own full-text search service and returns one normalized record per case. Safety Gate searches official weekly XML reports. It checks product, brand, model, barcode, alert number, risk, description, measures, and country fields. The EDPB register exposes decision metadata rather than controller names for many records. EDPB matching covers the decision ID, legal references, supervisory authorities, topics, and outcome shown in the public register. ### API use Run synchronously and read dataset items: ```bash curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/YOUR_USERNAME~eu-enforcement-compliance-search-api/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"query":"Google","maxResults":25}' ``` ### Reliability - Requests use timeouts, retries, and exponential backoff. - Sources run independently; one unavailable source does not discard results from the others. - Results are deduplicated by source and official record ID. - Every result links back to an official EU page. ### Responsible use This Actor is an informational research tool. It is not legal advice, sanctions screening, or a substitute for checking the current official record. Do not use it as the sole basis for automated adverse decisions about individuals. ### Official sources - EDPB: https://www.edpb.europa.eu/registers/register-of-final-one-stop-shop-decisions\_en - Competition cases: https://competition-cases.ec.europa.eu/ - Safety Gate: https://ec.europa.eu/safety-gate-alerts/screen/search # Actor input Schema ## `query` (type: `string`): Company, product, brand, legal topic, alert number, or case number to search for. ## `sources` (type: `array`): Official EU registers to search. Select one or more sources. ## `competitionCaseTypes` (type: `array`): Limit Competition Case Search results by procedure type. ## `countries` (type: `array`): Optional ISO alpha-2 country codes, such as DE, FR, IT, or RO. Leave empty to search all countries. ## `dateFrom` (type: `string`): Optional inclusive start date in YYYY-MM-DD format. If omitted, the lookback period is used. ## `dateTo` (type: `string`): Optional inclusive end date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Defaults to today. ## `lookbackYears` (type: `integer`): Number of years to search when Date from is empty. Increase this for older cases, at the cost of a longer Safety Gate search. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum normalized records saved to the dataset across all selected sources. ## Actor input object example ```json { "query": "Google", "sources": [ "edpb", "competition", "safety_gate" ], "competitionCaseTypes": [ "AT", "M", "SA", "DMA", "FS" ], "countries": [], "lookbackYears": 5, "maxResults": 50 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description ## `summary` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
