# Weekly serious-risk toy recalls

**Use case:** 

Every week the EU Safety Gate publishes the product recalls and warnings notified by member states. This task reads the most recent weekly report and returns only toys flagged as serious risk: case number, product, brand, barcode where given, risk type, notifying country and a link to the official alert. Capped at 20 alerts, so a run takes seconds and costs cents.

## Input

```json
{
  "weeks": 1,
  "categories": [
    "Toys"
  ],
  "riskLevels": [
    "Serious risk"
  ],
  "onlyWatchlistMatches": false,
  "includePictures": false,
  "maxAlerts": 20,
  "requestDelayMs": 1000
}
```

## Output

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/kittiwake/eu-recall-watchlist.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
