UK HM Treasury Sanctions Scraper

Download and filter the official UK Sanctions List CSV for sanctions compliance research, screening workflows, due diligence, and regulatory data pipelines. The list is published by the UK government and is now the current source for UK sanctions designations; the former HM Treasury/OFSI Consolidated List closed on 28 January 2026.

What it extracts

Each dataset record contains the UK Unique ID, names and aliases, regime, designation type, sanctions imposed, source, statement of reasons, addresses, nationality, identifiers, dates, contact details, and ship details when supplied by the source. Repeated rows are retained when they represent different source details, and exact duplicate records are removed.

Input

Use searchTerm for a case-insensitive search across names, IDs, addresses and related fields. Use exact-match arrays for uniqueIds, regimes, designationTypes, sanctionsImposed, or entityTypes. maxResults defaults to 100 and is capped at 5,000. An empty filter downloads and returns the first unique records from the current list.

Output

Records are written to the default dataset. A SUMMARY key-value record reports the source report date, source row count, matched count, result count, filters, and warnings.

{
  "searchTerm": "Russia",
  "designationTypes": ["Entity"],
  "maxResults": 25
}

Pay per event

Event	Price	Unit
Actor start	$0.00005	One run
Sanctions record	$0.0005	One unique dataset record

For example, a run returning 25 records costs up to $0.01255 in event charges, excluding any platform usage charged by Apify under the account’s current pricing configuration.

Source, reliability, and limitations

The Actor makes one respectful request to the static government CSV and retries transient failures up to two times. It does not log in, bypass access controls, or use third-party sanctions data. A failed download is reported as FAILED; a successful download with no matches is reported as EMPTY. The data is informational and must not be treated as legal advice or as a substitute for applicable UK sanctions guidance and due diligence.
