You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

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.

Surfaces insolvency events 3–5 days ahead of the official Kanpou gazette with debt amounts, industry codes, causes, and court filings. ### What it does The actor pulls from two independent sources in a single run: - **TSR (tsr-net.co.jp)** — discovers article URLs from a sitemap, then fetches each detail page. Extracts company name, prefecture, industry, insolvency procedure, debt tag, TSR code, and corporate number (法人番号) from structured HTML tags. - **TDB (tdb.co.jp)** — parses the `window.__remixContext` JSON blob embedded in the listing page. The blob contains up to 100 fully structured posts inline — no pagination needed. Extracts address, industry, procedure type, debt amount, court name, trustee, and representative name. Both sources are filtered to the `maxItems` limit. Set `sources` to `["tsr"]` or `["tdb"]` to restrict to one source. ### Output fields | Field | Description | |---|---| | `source` | `tsr` or `tdb` | | `article_id` | Source-specific article identifier | | `article_url` | Full URL to the source article | | `publication_date` | Publication date (YYYY-MM-DD) | | `debtor_name` | Debtor company name (商号) | | `debtor_address` | Debtor address | | `debtor_prefecture` | Debtor prefecture (都道府県) | | `debtor_industry` | Industry sector (業種) | | `bankruptcy_type` | Insolvency procedure type (破産 / 民事再生 / 会社更生 / 特別清算 / 私的整理) | | `bankruptcy_court` | Court name (裁判所) | | `debt_amount_jpy` | Total liabilities in JPY (integer) | | `cause` | Primary cause of insolvency | | `representative_name` | Representative director name (代表取締役) | | `trustee_name` | Bankruptcy trustee or administrator name (破産管財人) | | `corporate_number` | Corporate number (法人番号) when available | | `article_title` | Article headline | | `article_body` | Full article body text | | `scraped_at` | ISO 8601 timestamp of when this record was scraped | ### Input | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `maxItems` | integer | 50 | Maximum records to return (0 = unlimited) | | `sources` | array | `[]` | Which sources to include (`tsr`, `tdb`). Leave empty for both. | ### Usage examples **Scrape both sources, limit 50 records:** ```json { "maxItems": 50, "sources": [] } ```` **TDB only, 10 records:** ```json { "maxItems": 10, "sources": ["tdb"] } ``` **TSR only, unlimited:** ```json { "maxItems": 0, "sources": ["tsr"] } ``` ### Notes - TSR debt amount tags on listing pages (e.g. "負債10億円以上") are coarse ranges; the precise figure is parsed from the article body where available. - TDB provides up to 100 recent posts per run. TSR sitemap covers several thousand articles; use `maxItems` to cap TSR coverage. - Both sites serve server-rendered HTML with no login or bot challenge. No proxy is required. - Debt amounts are normalised to integer JPY, handling full-width Japanese digits and 億/万 unit combinations. # 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 records to scrape (0 = unlimited) ## `sources` (type: `array`): Which sources to include.
