Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## UK Sanctions List Scraper Extract the current official UK Sanctions List from the FCDO CSV into clean Apify dataset rows for AML/KYC, sanctions screening, export controls, vendor due diligence, and compliance monitoring. This actor uses the current UK Sanctions List, not the retired OFSI consolidated list that closed on 28 January 2026. It is designed for UK-focused compliance workflows that need official designation rows in a structured dataset: fintech onboarding, property and high-value dealer checks, trade compliance, vendor due diligence, legal research, and AI-agent/MCP screening tools. ### What You Can Extract - Unique ID, OFSI group ID, UN reference number, name fields, name type, and alias type - Regime name and designation source - Asset freeze, travel ban, and director disqualification indicators - Other public designation information and raw CSV fields - Source URL and scrape timestamp ### Common Use Cases - Screen customers, suppliers, contractors, and counterparties against UK sanctions - Refresh compliance systems with official UK designation data - Monitor changes in sanctions regimes for legal, fintech, crypto, property, and high-value dealer workflows - Feed official UK sanctions records into KYC dashboards or AI agents - Build UK sanctions datasets for procurement, marketplace trust and safety, and third-party risk teams - Combine UK sanctions rows with OFAC, EU, and UN sanctions outputs for multi-jurisdiction screening ### Agent And Automation Use The actor has simple keyword and max-result inputs and returns structured rows suitable for scheduled compliance refreshes, internal risk APIs, RAG datasets, and Apify MCP tools. Use it when an agent needs official UK designation data rather than a generic web scrape. ### SEO Keywords UK sanctions list scraper, UK sanctions API, FCDO sanctions list CSV, UK sanctions screening, OFSI sanctions data, AML KYC UK sanctions, vendor due diligence UK, UK restricted party screening, UK sanctions dataset, FCDO sanctions API. ### Example Input ```json { "keywords": ["russia"], "maxResults": 100 } ```` ### Output Each row contains the normalized designation record, unique ID, OFSI group ID, UN reference number, name fields, regime, designation source, asset-freeze/travel-ban/director-disqualification indicators, other public designation details, source URL, scrape timestamp, and raw CSV fields for auditability. ### Responsible Use Use this actor for public-record compliance, sanctions screening, AML/KYC, export controls, and third-party risk monitoring. Validate possible matches against official UK sources and your internal compliance process before taking action. ### Pricing Recommendation Launch at $3 per 1,000 sanctions rows. Increase toward $5-$6 per 1,000 rows when repeat compliance usage appears or when bundled with OFAC, EU, and UN sanctions actors. # Actor input Schema ## `keywords` (type: `array`): Optional names, regimes, countries, UN references, or IDs to match. Empty returns the first rows. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum matching UK sanctions entries to return. ## Actor input object example ```json { "keywords": [ "russia" ], "maxResults": 10 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("neuton/uk-sanctions-list-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
