US Travel Advisories Scraper

🇺🇸 US travel advisories scraper for State Department levels

US Travel Advisories Scraper collects current U.S. State Department travel advisories and CDC travel health notices in one run. It returns levels, countries, risks, health hazards, dates, source text, source IDs, and official URLs for duty-of-care dashboards, monitoring, API workflows, and exports.

• Track the list of countries on the do not travel list with source-backed Level 4 advisory rows.
• Compare travel advisory levels by country for travel operations, insurance, mobility, and duty-of-care teams.
• Monitor State Department new travel advisory updates with issued dates, updated dates, source IDs, and official URLs.
• Add CDC travel health notices to a U.S. official travel-risk feed without running a separate actor.
• Export advisory text, risk indicators, health hazards, and links to JSON, CSV, Excel, API clients, webhooks, or BI tools.

This Actor focuses on U.S. government travel advisory data. It does not scrape UK FCDO advisories, build a composite risk score, write AI summaries, monitor weather, book travel, or provide legal, medical, or safety advice.

▶️ How to run

1. Open the Input tab.
2. Choose Official sources: State Department and CDC, State Department only, or CDC only.
3. Optionally add destination names in Destinations for a focused country or territory check.
4. Choose the Minimum State Department level when collecting State Department advisories.
5. Optionally set Issued or updated since to return recent advisory or notice changes.
6. Set Maximum records to cap saved rows across the run.
7. Run the Actor and open the dataset.

For a quick first run, keep State Department and CDC selected, leave Destinations empty, and keep Maximum records at the default. The Actor works without State Department or CDC credentials, cookies, API keys, or login.

⚙️ Input options

Field	What it does
sourceScope	Chooses both, stateDepartment, or cdc.
destinations	Optional country or territory names for focused runs.
minimumStateDepartmentLevel	Saves State Department rows at this level or higher.
changedSince	Optional date filter for rows issued or updated on or after this date.
maxRecords	Caps saved advisory and health notice rows across the run.

Destination filtering uses source-backed destination text. If a destination does not match current State Department or CDC data, the run can finish successfully with no rows.

💳 Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. The primary event is advisory-record, priced at $0.00001 for each successful advisory or health notice row.

Rows skipped by filters are not charged. Empty filters, no-result runs, failed source requests, and actor start are not charged.

🔌 Integrations

• Use the Apify API to read advisory rows into travel-risk apps, internal tools, or RAG pipelines.
• Schedule recurring runs to monitor State Department levels, Level 4 countries, CDC health notices, and changed rows.
• Export results as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or HTML for analysts and BI tools.
• Send completed runs to webhooks so downstream systems can diff rows by sourceId, updatedDate, or sourceUrl.

❓ FAQ

Can I get Level 4 travel advisory countries?

Yes. Choose State Department data and set Minimum State Department level to 4. Rows include country, level, label, risks, dates, source text, and official URL when available.

Can I compare travel advisory levels by country?

Yes. Leave Destinations empty for a full current State Department collection, or add country and territory names for a smaller run. Use countries, level, levelLabel, sourceId, and sourceUrl to compare rows.

Can I use this as a State Department travel advisory map feed?

Yes, for the advisory data feed. Rows include country or destination names and levels, so you can join them to your own map or geocoding data. The Actor does not emit coordinates or map polygons.

Does it include CDC travel health notices?

Yes. Choose State Department and CDC to collect both source families in one run, or choose CDC only when you want health notices without State Department advisory rows.

Is there a Level 5 travel advisory?

No. U.S. State Department travel advisories use Levels 1 through 4. The Actor returns the source-native level and label instead of inventing a Level 5 value.

Does it require cookies or login?

No. The Actor collects public State Department and CDC pages. You do not need source accounts, cookies, API keys, or a browser extension.

Why not use the State Department API?

Use official State Department pages when you only need to read one advisory. Use this Actor when you need structured rows, CDC notices in the same feed, exports, schedules, webhooks, or API access.

What are State Department travel advisory alternatives?

For U.S. official country advisories, the State Department source is the core surface. CDC notices cover health-specific travel risks. UK FCDO advisories, weather alerts, and composite risk scores are different products and are not part of this Actor.
