## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

# README

## 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

### Input

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `startUrls` | array | CSRC news + press + policy pages | Override the default listing URLs. Use any `common_list.shtml` URL from csrc.gov.cn |
| `maxItems` | integer | *required* | Maximum number of records to scrape. Set to `0` for no limit |

#### Default categories crawled

| Section | URL |
|---------|-----|
| 证监会要闻 (CSRC News) | `http://www.csrc.gov.cn/csrc/c100028/common_list.shtml` |
| 新闻发布会 (Press Conferences) | `http://www.csrc.gov.cn/csrc/c100029/common_list.shtml` |
| 政策解读 (Policy Interpretation) | `http://www.csrc.gov.cn/csrc/c100039/common_list.shtml` |

#### Custom categories via `startUrls`

Supply any CSRC listing URL to target specific sections. Pagination is handled automatically.

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "http://www.csrc.gov.cn/csrc/c100028/common_list.shtml" }
  ],
  "maxItems": 100
}
````

### Output schema

Each item in the dataset has the following fields:

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `disclosure_id` | string | CSRC internal ID (e.g. `c1615676`) |
| `url` | string | Detail page URL |
| `title` | string | Disclosure title (Chinese) |
| `category` | string | Section label (证监会要闻, etc.) |
| `issuing_office` | string | 证监会 or provincial bureau |
| `publish_date` | string | ISO-8601 publication date |
| `effective_date` | string | Effective date (where present) |
| `subject_entity` | string | Named subject (company/individual) |
| `subject_role` | string | Role of subject |
| `penalty_type` | string | Penalty types (pipe-delimited) |
| `penalty_amount_cny` | number | Fine amount in CNY |
| `violation_summary` | string | First paragraph of disclosure text |
| `pdf_url` | string | Attached PDF URL |
| `case_number` | string | Case reference (〔YYYY〕XX号) |
| `source_url` | string | Listing page URL |
| `scrapedAt` | string | ISO-8601 scrape timestamp |

### Technical notes

- **No proxy required** — CSRC is a Chinese government portal accessible directly without proxy
- **Static HTML** — All listing pages use static pagination (`common_list_N.shtml`), no JavaScript rendering needed
- **Pagination** — Automatically detected from `createPageHTML()` calls; up to 200 pages per category
- **Enforcement detail pages** — Full content is extracted from `content.shtml` detail pages; metadata (penalty amounts, case numbers) is parsed from body text using regex patterns
