Informationen auf Deutsch

Was ist dieser Actor?

Dieser Actor ermoglicht das automatisierte Durchsuchen der Ediktsdatei (edikte.justiz.gv.at) - der offiziellen osterreichischen Datenbank fur gerichtliche Bekanntmachungen. Die Ediktsdatei enthalt alle Insolvenzverfahren (Konkurs, Sanierung, Schuldenregulierung), gerichtliche Versteigerungen und Firmenbuch-Bekanntmachungen in Osterreich.

• Due-Diligence-Teams - Prufung von Zielunternehmen vor Ubernahmen und Investitionen
• Rechtsanwalte und Kanzleien - Recherche von Insolvenzverfahren, Aktenzeichen und Masseverwaltern
• Compliance-Abteilungen - KYC/AML-Screening gegen Insolvenzregister
• Inkassounternehmen - Uberwachung von Anmeldefristen und Glaubigerversammlungen
• Wirtschaftsauskunfteien - Integration von Insolvenzdaten in Bonitatsberichte

Welche Daten?

Der Actor liefert fur jede Veroffentlichung: Schuldnername, Aktenzeichen, Gericht, Verfahrensart (Konkurs/Sanierung/Schuldenregulierung), Verfahrensstand, Masseverwalter, Termin der Glaubigerversammlung, Anmeldefrist und den vollstandigen Bekanntmachungstext.

Wie starten?

Starten Sie den Actor auf der Apify-Plattform mit dem Namen des Schuldners oder wahlen Sie Bundesland und Zeitraum. Die Ergebnisse werden als strukturiertes JSON geliefert. Fur automatisierte Uberwachung konnen Sie geplante Laufe einrichten und die Ergebnisse uber die Apify-API abrufen.
