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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## EU Safety Gate Product Alert Monitor Collect official EU Safety Gate product recalls and non-food safety alerts. Filter by risk, category, country, and keyword for compliance workflows. This is an unofficial community Actor. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the European Commission or European Union. ### Try this first Start with the example input below to inspect recent serious-risk alerts. Results are written to the default dataset with official alert links, measures, and source attribution. [![EU Safety Gate Product Alert Monitor icon](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/JoHkELuyqjk6waZJX/records/icon-eu-safety-gate-alert-monitor.png)](https://apify.com/koalastuff/eu-safety-gate-alert-monitor) #### Example output [![Example output preview](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/JoHkELuyqjk6waZJX/records/preview-eu-safety-gate-alert-monitor.svg)](https://apify.com/koalastuff/eu-safety-gate-alert-monitor) This preview is generated from a checked-in official-source fixture. It shows the normalized output shape without inventing live demand or results. ### Use cases - Monitor newly published product safety alerts and recalls. - Filter alerts by product category, risk level, notifying country, or keyword. - Feed compliance, marketplace, retail, procurement, and consumer-safety workflows. - Export stable alert rows with official links, photos, risks, and measures. ### Input | Field | Description | Default | | --- | --- | --- | | `reportCount` | Latest weekly reports to inspect, from 1 to 52 | `1` | | `keywords` | Text match across product, brand, model, description, risk, and measures | none | | `categories` | Exact official product-category labels | all | | `riskLevels` | Exact official risk-level labels | all | | `notifyingCountries` | Exact official notifying-country names | all | | `maxResults` | Hard unique-output and billing limit | `100` | | `requestDelayMs` | Delay between weekly detail exports | `500` | ```json { "reportCount": 4, "keywords": "battery", "categories": ["Electrical appliances and equipment"], "riskLevels": ["Serious risk"], "maxResults": 100 } ```` ### Output Every dataset row contains the official alert number, report date, category, product identity, brand, model, batch and barcode data, risk types and description, measures, countries, recall links, picture links, and official source URLs. Missing optional source fields remain `null` or empty arrays; the Actor does not guess them. ### Reliability and limits - Official public XML exports only; no page scraping, browser, proxy, account, or paid service. - The official weekly-report index currently covers reports from 2005 onward and links to each detail XML export. - One request at a time, up to 52 reports, configurable delay, and three retries. - Duplicate removal uses the stable Safety Gate case number. - Maximum 10,000 unique results per run. - Text filters run after downloading the selected reports because the official weekly XML export is the source of truth. ### Pricing Pay per event: - Actor start: USD 0.00005 - Normalized alert: USD 0.001 No proxy, browser, paid API, or external subscription is required. The user's configured maximum charge per run remains the hard billing limit. A two-result Apify smoke run on 256 MB used USD 0.0003611224 of platform resources and completed in 22.603 seconds. ### Data source and reuse Source: . Required source acknowledgement included in every result: β€œAlerts from the Rapid Alert System for dangerous non-food products, published free of charge on the Safety Gate website (https://ec.europa.eu/safety-gate-alerts)”. Safety Gate authorizes reuse provided the original meaning is not distorted and the source is acknowledged. This Actor preserves the official content, adds normalized fields, and includes that acknowledgement in every dataset row. Users must verify current measures and product identity on the linked official alert before taking compliance, commercial, or legal action. ### Support Report reproducible problems with the input, run link, expected field, and affected alert number. Do not include credentials or private customer data. ### Related Actors - [FDA Enforcement Report Finder](https://apify.com/koalastuff/fda-enforcement-report-finder) for FDA enforcement-report research and export. - [CISA KEV Priority & Remediation Monitor](https://apify.com/koalastuff/cisa-kev-priority-monitor) for exploited-vulnerability prioritization. # Actor input Schema ## `reportCount` (type: `integer`): Number of latest official weekly reports to inspect. ## `keywords` (type: `string`): Optional case-insensitive text match across product, brand, model, description, risk, and measures. ## `categories` (type: `array`): Optional exact category names, for example Toys or Motor vehicles. ## `riskLevels` (type: `array`): Optional exact official risk-level labels, for example Serious risk. ## `notifyingCountries` (type: `array`): Optional exact country names reported by Safety Gate. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Hard unique-output and billing limit after filtering. ## `requestDelayMs` (type: `integer`): Conservative delay in milliseconds between official detail exports. ## Actor input object example ```json { "reportCount": 1, "maxResults": 100, "requestDelayMs": 500 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
