Apify actor that pulls the latest docket entries from federal courts
Why it's more than a feed reader
- Multiple courts per run —
["cand", "nysd", "txed"] - Filters — keep only entries matching keywords (
"apple","motion to dismiss") and/or case-number substrings ("3:26-cv-01234"); filters combine as OR. - Cross-run dedup — set
deduplicationStoreName(e.g.pacer-seen) and schedule the actor every 15-30 min: each run pushes only new docket entries. Wire the dataset to a webhook/notification and you have a free docket-alerting pipeline for the cases you track. - Parsed entries — the raw
[~Util - Set/Reset Hearings] ( 16 )descriptions are split intoentry_type+document_number, and RFC-822 dates get ISO twins (published_iso).
Example input
{"courts": ["cand", "nysd"],"filterCaseNumbers": ["3:26-cv-01234"],"filterKeywords": ["securities"],"deduplicationStoreName": "pacer-seen","maxEntriesPerCourt": 200}
Example output item
{"court": "cand","case_number": "5:26-mj-70393-1","case_name": "USA v. Nambiar","entry": "[~Util - Set/Reset Hearings] ( 16 )","entry_type": "Util - Set/Reset Hearings","document_number": 16,"link": "https://ecf.cand.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/DktRpt.pl?467379","published": "Thu, 16 Jul 2026 18:29:57 GMT","published_iso": "2026-07-16T18:29:57Z","fetched_at": "2026-07-17T12:00:00Z"}
Run summary (pushed / already-seen / filtered counts + errors) is stored
under key SUMMARY.
Court codes
District codes are state + district, e.g. cand (N.D. Cal), nysd (S.D.N.Y.), nyed (E.D.N.Y.), txed (E.D. Tex), txwd
(W.D. Tex), ded (D. Del), ilnd (N.D. Ill), flsd (S.D. Fla),
wawd (W.D. Wash). Bankruptcy courts append b: candb, nysb,
deb. Appellate: ca1…ca11, cadc, cafc.
Not every court enables the public feed — a 404 means that court doesn't publish one; the actor reports it as a per-court error and continues. Feeds typically contain only the last few hours of activity, so schedule accordingly (every 15-60 min for monitoring).
