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. 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 Health & Compliance Data Search Search **17 official European health and compliance data sources** in a single API call — EMA authorized medicines, EUDAMED medical devices (1.48 million entries), CTIS clinical trials, ECDC disease surveillance, EFSA food safety data, EU Ecolabel products, and industrial emissions. All data comes directly from European regulatory agencies through the SIP Public Data Gateway. ### What is EU Health & Compliance Data Search? EU Health & Compliance Data Search is an Apify Actor that queries official European health and environmental compliance databases. Instead of navigating EMA, EUDAMED, CTIS, ECDC, and EFSA portals separately, you search them all at once with a single keyword. The Actor calls the **SIP Public Data Gateway** — a unified API that normalizes responses from 17 EU health and compliance data products. No browser, no scraping — just HTTPS API calls to official regulatory sources. ### Why use EU Health & Compliance Data Search? - **One search, 17 sources** — Query EMA medicines, EUDAMED devices, clinical trials, and compliance registers simultaneously - **Official regulatory data** — All sources are public databases from EMA, ECDC, EFSA, and the European Commission - **1.48 million medical devices** — EUDAMED is the largest EU medical device database, mandatory under MDR/IVDR - **Drug safety monitoring** — EMA PSUSAs, safety communications, shortages, and post-authorisation data in one place - **No upstream API keys** — SIP handles authentication with all EU health APIs; you only need one SIP key #### Use cases | Who | What | |-----|------| | **Pharma regulatory affairs** | Monitor EMA authorizations, EPAR documents, orphan designations, and drug shortages | | **Medical device companies** | Search EUDAMED for registered devices, compliance status under MDR/IVDR | | **Clinical research organizations** | Find EU clinical trials in CTIS, track paediatric investigation plans | | **Pharmacovigilance teams** | Monitor PSUSAs, safety communications, and post-authorisation studies | | **Environmental compliance** | Search EU Ecolabel, EMAS registrations, E-PRTR emissions data | | **Food safety analysts** | Access EFSA OpenFoodTox chemical hazard data | | **RegTech companies** | Bulk-query EU health registers for regulatory monitoring | ### What data can EU Health & Compliance Data Search extract? | Source | Data type | Example fields | |--------|-----------|----------------| | EMA medicines | EU-authorized human medicines | medicine_name, active_substance, therapeutic_area, authorisation_status | | EMA EPAR | European public assessment reports | product_name, document_type, date | | EMA herbal medicines | Traditional herbal medicines | herbal_substance, indication, therapeutic_area | | EMA orphan designations | Rare disease drug designations | medicine_name, condition, sponsor, designation_status | | EMA paediatric plans | Paediatric investigation plans | medicine_name, decision_type, condition | | EMA post-authorisation | Post-marketing studies and data | medicine_name, study_type, status | | EMA shortages | Medicine supply shortages | medicine_name, shortage_type, start_date | | EMA PSUSAs | Periodic safety update assessments | active_substance, outcome, date | | EMA safety comms | Safety communications and referrals | title, category, date | | EUDAMED devices | 1.48M registered medical devices | device_name, manufacturer, risk_class, udi | | CTIS clinical trials | 11,000+ EU clinical trials | trial_title, sponsor, status, therapeutic_area | | ECDC surveillance | Communicable disease surveillance | disease, country, cases, rate | | EU Ecolabel | Eco-certified products | product_name, category, licence_number | | EFSA OpenFoodTox | Chemical hazard data | substance, endpoint, species, value | | EMAS registrations | Environmental management registrations | organisation, country, nace_code | | E-PRTR emissions | Industrial pollutant releases | facility, pollutant, quantity, country | | ESMA sanctions | Financial market sanctions | entity, sanction_type, date | ### How to search EU health data 1. Open the Actor in Apify Console 2. Enter search terms (e.g. "ibuprofen", "pacemaker", "clinical trial diabetes") 3. Select data categories — medicines and devices are enabled by default 4. Click **Start** — the Actor queries all enabled sources in parallel 5. Download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel #### Example input ```json { "searchTerms": ["ibuprofen", "paracetamol"], "includeEmaMedicines": true, "includeMedicalDevices": false, "includeClinicalTrials": true, "includeEnvironmentalCompliance": false, "maxResultsPerSource": 50 } ```` ### Output Each row is a record from an EU health or compliance source: ```json { "medicine_name": "Ibuprofen Lannacher", "active_substance": "ibuprofen", "therapeutic_area": "Pain, inflammation", "authorisation_status": "Authorised", "_product_id": "eu_ema_medicines", "_source": "ema_medicines", "_search_term": "ibuprofen", "_collected_at": "2026-04-08T12:00:00Z" } ``` ### How much does it cost? Pay-per-event pricing based on records returned: - **Quick drug lookup** (1 term, EMA only): ~$0.01–0.10 - **Device compliance scan** (5 terms, all sources): ~$0.50–3.00 No browser overhead. Control costs with `maxResultsPerSource`. ### Data sources (17 EU products) | Category | Sources | Count | |----------|---------|-------| | EMA medicines & drug safety | Medicines, EPAR, herbal, orphan, paediatric, post-auth, shortages, PSUSAs, safety comms | 9 | | Medical devices | EUDAMED (1.48M devices) | 1 | | Clinical trials & surveillance | CTIS, ECDC atlas | 2 | | Environmental & food compliance | Ecolabel, EFSA OpenFoodTox, EMAS, E-PRTR, ESMA sanctions | 5 | ### FAQ **What is EUDAMED?** The European Database on Medical Devices — mandatory registration under MDR (2017/745) and IVDR (2017/746). Contains 1.48 million device entries with manufacturer, risk class, and UDI information. Full compliance required by May 2026. **How current is EMA data?** EMA databases update continuously as new authorizations, safety signals, and shortage reports are published. SIP caches responses briefly but always fetches from official EMA APIs. **Can I monitor drug shortages?** Yes. Search for a medicine name with `includeEmaMedicines` enabled to find active shortage reports, safety communications, and PSUSA outcomes. **Is ECDC surveillance data real-time?** ECDC Surveillance Atlas data is updated weekly to monthly depending on the disease. It provides epidemiological indicators, not real-time case counts. ### Use as MCP Tool (AI Agent Integration) This Actor works as an MCP tool — AI agents (Claude, GPT, Cursor) can discover and run it automatically. #### Quick setup (Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code) Add to your MCP config: ```json { "mcpServers": { "apify": { "url": "https://mcp.apify.com", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" } } } } ``` Then ask your AI: *"Search for ibuprofen in EU health databases"* #### Direct API call ```python from apify_client import ApifyClient client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN") run = client.actor("lentic_clockss/eu-health-compliance-search").call( run_input={"searchTerms": ["ibuprofen"], "maxResultsPerSource": 50} ) for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items(): print(item) ``` ### Other Data API Actors - [US Healthcare Provider Data API](https://apify.com/lentic_clockss/us-healthcare-search) - [Israel Government Data API](https://apify.com/lentic_clockss/israel-data-search) - [Taiwan Government Data API](https://apify.com/lentic_clockss/taiwan-data-search) # Actor input Schema ## `searchTerms` (type: `array`): Drug names, device types, substances, or keywords to search (e.g. 'ibuprofen', 'cardiac', 'pacemaker').
