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.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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 ## 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 [![EU Consolidated Sanctions Tracker sample output — EU Consolidated Sanctions Tracker, premium API, JSON output, NexGenData premium dataset for analysts, hedge funds, compliance, and research teams](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/8gLgXMBveEI1tTz1z/records/eu-consolidated-sanctions-tracker-output.png)](https://apify.com/nexgendata/eu-consolidated-sanctions-tracker) 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. ### What you get per sanctioned entity Every record returned by this actor follows a normalized cross-source schema (same shape as our [OFAC SDN](https://apify.com/nexgendata/ofac-sdn-watchlist-scraper?fpr=2ayu9b), [UN](https://apify.com/nexgendata/un-sanctions-consolidated-tracker?fpr=2ayu9b), and [UK HMT](https://apify.com/nexgendata/uk-hmt-financial-sanctions-tracker?fpr=2ayu9b) sanctions trackers): | Field | Description | |---|---| | `entity_name` | Primary listed name (first NameAlias_WholeName encountered) | | `entity_aliases` | All additional WholeName aliases for this Entity_LogicalId | | `entity_type` | Individual (EU code `P`) or Entity (EU code `E`) | | `sanctioning_authority` | Always `EU_COUNCIL` for this actor | | `program_name` | Entity_Regulation_Programme (e.g. UKR, BLR, IRN, TERR) | | `listed_date` | ISO Entity_DesignationDate (or regulation entry-into-force fallback) | | `nationality` | Birth-country aggregate (EU schema has no separate citizenship column) | | `country_of_origin` | Address country or birth country | | `address` | All Address_* rows joined | | `date_of_birth` | Composed from BirthDate_BirthDate or Y/M/D components | | `passport_number` | All Identification rows with type 'Passport' | | `id_number` | All other Identification rows with type label | | `eu_reference_number` | EU's unique reference (e.g. EU.RU.000123) | | `regulation_number` | The Council Regulation number listing the entity | | `un_reference_id` | UN reference cross-link when present | | `source_url` | The Entity_Regulation_PublicationUrl when populated, else the FSD CSV endpoint | ### Input — every filter is optional ```json { "entity_search": "rosneft", "sanctioning_program": "UKR", "entity_type": "Entity", "maxResults": 100 } ```` - `entity_search` — case-insensitive substring match against name and aliases - `sanctioning_program` — substring match against EU regulation programme code - `entity_type` — `all`, `Individual`, or `Entity` - `maxResults` — cap on output (1–5000, default 100) ### Use cases - **EU bank onboarding & KYC** — fulfill Council Regulation screening obligations during CIP / CDD - **EU payment compliance** — pre-screen SEPA / SWIFT counterparties for EU restrictive-measure exposure - **EU exporter compliance** — block shipments to EU-designated entities (dual-use export controls) - **Crypto exchanges with EU users** — comply with MiCA / EU AML directives - **EU M\&A due diligence** — vet targets and beneficial owners under EU sanctions regimes - **EU government procurement** — verify suppliers against EU restrictive measures - **Trade-finance / commodities desks** — pre-clear EU counterparty exposure ### Cross-sell: the Sanctions Quartet This actor is one of four direct-download sanctions scrapers built on a single shared engineering template. Real-world AML programs screen against multiple authority lists in parallel — buy them as a bundle: - [OFAC SDN Watchlist Scraper](https://apify.com/nexgendata/ofac-sdn-watchlist-scraper?fpr=2ayu9b) — US Treasury OFAC list - [UN Sanctions Consolidated Tracker](https://apify.com/nexgendata/un-sanctions-consolidated-tracker?fpr=2ayu9b) — UN Security Council consolidated list - [EU Consolidated Sanctions Tracker](https://apify.com/nexgendata/eu-consolidated-sanctions-tracker?fpr=2ayu9b) — **you are here** - [UK HMT Financial Sanctions Tracker](https://apify.com/nexgendata/uk-hmt-financial-sanctions-tracker?fpr=2ayu9b) — UK Treasury OFSI consolidated list ### Why this actor vs. the alternatives | Option | Cost | Schema stability | Auto-update | API access | Maintenance | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | **EU Consolidated Sanctions Tracker (this)** | $0.05/entity | Stable normalized + grouped by entity | Daily (run on schedule) | Apify REST / Webhooks | Zero — fully managed | | Raw EU FSD CSV | Free | 118-column flat CSV requiring grouping | Manual download | None | You parse + group, you maintain | | Refinitiv World-Check | $30K+/yr enterprise | Stable | Real-time | REST | Contract negotiation | | LexisNexis Bridger | $20K+/yr enterprise | Stable | Real-time | REST | Contract negotiation | | ComplyAdvantage | $5K+/mo | Stable | Real-time | REST | Contract negotiation | ### Data freshness The European External Action Service updates the FSD every time a new Council Regulation is adopted. Schedule this actor daily during periods of active regulation (e.g. fresh Russia/Ukraine sanctions packages) and weekly otherwise. ### Source This actor pulls from the official EU FSD CSV endpoint with the documented public token: ``` https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/fsd/fsf/public/files/csvFullSanctionsList_1_1/content?token=dG9rZW4tMjAxNw ``` Token `dG9rZW4tMjAxNw` is the documented public token (base64 of `token-2017`) maintained by DG FISMA — no authentication, no rate limit, no proxy required. *** Built by [NexGenData](https://apify.com/nexgendata?fpr=2ayu9b).
