US Travel Advisories

🇺🇸 Turn official travel alerts into structured data

US Travel Advisories Scraper helps travel operations, insurance, mobility, and duty-of-care teams collect current U.S. State Department travel advisories and CDC travel health notices. Get official levels, destinations, risks, health hazards, dates, source text, IDs, and URLs for monitoring and analysis.

• Build a US travel advisories scraper workflow for current official destination risk data.
• Track Level 4 travel advisory countries for duty-of-care dashboards and alerts.
• Compare travel advisory levels by country across current State Department guidance.
• Monitor State Department travel advisory updates using official issued and updated dates.
• Collect CDC travel health notices with hazards, affected destinations, key points, and recommendations.
• Create a travel advisory data export for BI tools, internal apps, or archival analysis.

▶️ Running the Actor

1. Open the Input tab.
2. Choose State Department and CDC, State Department only, or CDC only.
3. Optionally enter destination names for a focused country or territory check.
4. Choose a minimum State Department level and an issued-or-updated-since date if needed.
5. Set the maximum number of records and run the Actor.
6. Open the dataset to inspect or export the rows.

For a broad first run, keep both sources selected and leave Destinations empty. No State Department or CDC account, cookie, or API key is required.

⚙️ Input

Field	What it does
sourceScope	Chooses both, stateDepartment, or cdc.
destinations	Optional country or territory names for focused runs.
minimumStateDepartmentLevel	Keeps State Department advisories at this level or higher; ignored for CDC-only runs.
changedSince	Keeps rows issued or updated on or after this YYYY-MM-DD date.
maxRecords	Caps successful advisory and health-notice rows across the run, from 1 to 1,000.

Destination filtering uses destination text supplied by the official sources. A valid filter can match no current records and finish with an empty dataset.

💳 Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You are charged $0.00001 for each successful official advisory or health notice saved to the default dataset under the advisory-record event.

Filtered-out entries, no-result runs, failed source requests, and starting the Actor are not charged by this Actor. Apify platform usage charges may still apply.

🔌 Integrations

• Read rows through the Apify API from travel-risk apps or internal tools.
• Schedule recurring runs to monitor official levels, notices, and changed rows.
• Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or HTML.
• Trigger webhooks after runs so downstream systems can compare sourceId, updatedDate, or sourceUrl.

❓ FAQ

Can I collect only Level 4 countries?

Yes. Choose State Department advisories and set the minimum level to 4. The Actor keeps current matching advisories and their official destination, risk, date, text, and URL fields.

What happens when a destination has no current match?

The run can finish successfully with no rows. Check the destination spelling, remove the destination filter for a full-source run, or select both sources to include matching health notices.

Can I map advisories by country?

Yes. Join countries or available countryCodes and level to your own geographic data. The Actor does not return coordinates or map polygons.

Does it include health-specific alerts?

Yes. Select both sources or CDC only. CDC rows can include the notice level, disease or hazard, affected destinations, key points, recommendations, dates, and official URL.

Is there a Level 5 State Department advisory?

No. State Department advisories use Levels 1 through 4, and the Actor preserves the official numeric level and label.

Why use this instead of reading official pages directly?

Official pages work well for checking one destination manually. This Actor is useful when you need structured rows, repeat runs, filters, exports, webhooks, or State Department and CDC data in one workflow.

Does it require login credentials?

No. It collects public official-source information without a source account, cookie, private session, or customer-supplied API key.
