CSRC China Securities Regulator Disclosure Scraper

Scrapes regulatory disclosures from the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC — 中国证监会) at www.csrc.gov.cn. The CSRC is the principal federal securities regulator for Chinese capital markets — analogous to the SEC in the United States. This actor covers the CSRC news and announcement sections, which include enforcement notices, policy interpretations, press conferences, and administrative actions.

What this actor does

Crawls CSRC static-HTML listing pages and extracts individual disclosure records from detail pages. Each record includes:

• Disclosure ID, title, and canonical URL
• Category (证监会要闻, 新闻发布会, 政策解读, and others via startUrls)
• Publishing date and issuing office
• Enforcement metadata: penalty type, penalty amount (CNY), case number
• Violation summary (first substantive paragraph)
• PDF attachment URL (when present)
• Source listing URL

Use cases

• Compliance and AML/KYC screening — Monitor enforcement actions against firms and individuals in Chinese securities markets
• Sanctions and regulatory intelligence — Track market bans, fines, and license revocations
• EM equity research — Follow regulatory trends affecting listed companies, brokers, and fund managers
• Journalism — Monitor CSRC enforcement trends (financial fraud, market manipulation, insider trading)
• Academic research — Build longitudinal datasets of Chinese securities enforcement
