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.

Returns structured trustee records for all five chapter lists: Chapter 7 Panel, Chapter 13 Standing, Chapter 12 Standing, Chapter 12 Case-By-Case, and Chapter 11 Subchapter V. Each record includes the trustee's name, firm, address, contact information, state, and judicial district. ### What It Does The DOJ US Trustee Program publishes the complete roster of court-appointed private bankruptcy trustees at [justice.gov/ust](https://www.justice.gov/ust). This actor fetches all five trustee list pages, parses the state- and district-grouped HTML, and returns a flat, structured dataset of every trustee entry. - **Chapter 7 Panel**: ~600+ trustees across all US states and territories - **Chapter 13 Standing**: Standing trustees for Chapter 13 consumer debt cases - **Chapter 12 Standing**: Standing trustees for Chapter 12 family farmer cases - **Chapter 12 Case-By-Case**: Trustees appointed on a case-by-case basis for Chapter 12 - **Chapter 11 Subchapter V**: Trustees for Subchapter V small business reorganizations ### Use Cases - **Bankruptcy-practice lead generation**: Build contact lists of panel trustees for vendor marketing, software sales, or professional services outreach. - **Creditor-rights and debt-collection research**: Identify which trustees cover specific judicial districts for case strategy. - **Distressed-asset buyer due diligence**: Verify trustee coverage by district before initiating contact in a bankruptcy case. - **Insolvency professional databases**: Supplement attorney databases with the court-appointed fiduciary layer. - **Compliance and reference tools**: Cross-reference trustee appointments with official federal records. ### Output Fields | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `chapter_type` | String | Chapter category (e.g. "Chapter 7 Panel", "Subchapter V") | | `state` | String | US state or territory name (e.g. "California", "Puerto Rico") | | `judicial_district` | String | Federal judicial district (e.g. "Central District of California") | | `trustee_name` | String | Full trustee name | | `firm_name` | String | Firm or organization name (where listed) | | `address` | String | Street address or PO Box | | `city` | String | City | | `state_abbr` | String | Two-letter state abbreviation | | `zip` | String | ZIP code | | `phone` | String | Phone number | | `email` | String | Email address (where published) | | `source_url` | String | Source chapter list URL | ### Input Options | Field | Type | Default | Description | |-------|------|---------|-------------| | `maxItems` | Integer | 10 | Maximum number of records to return. Set to 0 to return all records (~2,000+ across all chapters). | ### Example Output ```json { "chapter_type": "Chapter 7 Panel", "state": "California", "judicial_district": "Central District of California", "trustee_name": "Carolyn Anne Dye", "firm_name": "", "address": "15030 Ventura Blvd., Suite 527", "city": "Sherman Oaks", "state_abbr": "CA", "zip": "91403", "phone": "(818) 287-7003", "email": "cdye@cadye.com", "source_url": "https://www.justice.gov/ust/list-chapter-7-panel-trustees" } ```` ### Data Source All data is sourced directly from the [DOJ US Trustee Program](https://www.justice.gov/ust) official website — the authoritative federal registry for bankruptcy trustees. Data is maintained by the Executive Office for United States Trustees (EOUST) and updated when trustees are added or removed from panels. ### Notes - **Alabama and North Carolina**: These states do not participate in the US Trustee Program — bankruptcy administration is handled by the Bankruptcy Administrator program under the Administrative Office of the US Courts. The DOJ pages for these states show a referral notice rather than a trustee list. - **Multi-district trustees**: Trustees who cover multiple judicial districts within a state appear as separate records, one per district. This accurately reflects the official panel assignments. - **Partial data**: Not all trustees list email addresses on the official DOJ pages. The `email` field will be empty for those entries. # Actor input Schema ## `sp_intended_usage` (type: `string`): Please describe how you plan to use the data extracted by this crawler. ## `sp_improvement_suggestions` (type: `string`): Provide any feedback or suggestions for improvements. ## `sp_contact` (type: `string`): Provide your email address so we can get in touch with you. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of trustee records to scrape.
