EU Consolidated Sanctions Tracker

The canonical EU Financial Sanctions Database scraper for Apify. Downloads the EU Consolidated Sanctions List directly from webgate.ec.europa.eu (the European External Action Service's public Financial Sanctions File), groups the flat CSV by entity, and returns normalized JSON ready for AML/KYC screening pipelines, EU bank onboarding, payment compliance, and trade due diligence.

📊 Sample Output

The EU consolidated sanctions list is the master list every EU-regulated financial institution, payment processor, exporter, and trade-finance counterparty is required to screen against under Council Regulations implementing EU restrictive measures. It covers every active EU sanctions regime: Russia (RUS / UKR), Belarus (BLR), Iran (IRN), Syria (SYR), DPRK, Venezuela (VEN), Zimbabwe (ZWE), Libya (LBY), Cyber-EO (CYBER), Counter-Terrorism (TERR), and dozens more.
