## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

## FINMA + MAS + SFC Combined Financial Regulator Enforcement Tracker

**The wealth-management compliance trifecta in one normalized feed.**

Unified enforcement-action surveillance across Switzerland (FINMA), Singapore (MAS), and Hong Kong (SFC) — three of the world's most consequential financial regulators for cross-border private banking, asset management, and APAC capital markets. One actor, one schema, three jurisdictions, local-currency + USD-normalized amounts, stable source URLs.

### What you get

- **FINMA (Switzerland)** — press releases, financial-sanction notices, international-sanction implementations, license withdrawals
- **MAS (Singapore)** — enforcement actions, composition penalties under PS Act / SFA / FAA, prohibition orders, investor alert list updates
- **SFC (Hong Kong)** — enforcement news (newsType=EF), bans, disqualifications, criminal prosecutions, shareholder compensation
- **Normalized schema** — every record carries `regulator`, `action_id`, `target_entity`, `target_type` (firm/individual), `action_type` (fine/ban/warning/license_revocation/prosecution), `date` (ISO), `fine_amount_local`, `fine_currency` (CHF/SGD/HKD), `fine_amount_usd` (FX-converted), `jurisdiction`, `summary`, `source_url`, `data_source` (live/curated)
- **Resilient dual-path** — when live scrapers return zero rows for the requested window (common for FINMA's caching API and MAS Akamai-fronted endpoints), a curated layer of real recent enforcement actions backfills the gap. You never get empty.

### Use cases

- **Multinational private-bank compliance officer** — single feed for cross-border client risk reviews; trigger alerts when a key client jurisdiction lands a new prohibition order
- **APAC fintech compliance / MLRO** — Singapore and Hong Kong actions in one place with target_type distinction at firm vs individual
- **Private-bank AML team** — pull all FINMA + MAS composition penalties and compare against client base for adverse-media checks
- **M&A diligence** — screen target firms across three regulator enforcement registers in one query
- **Regulatory benchmarking** — institutional comparison of fine sizes across CHF/SGD/HKD jurisdictions, USD-normalized for board reporting

### Sample input

```json
{
  "regulator": "all",
  "action_type": "all",
  "days_back": 90,
  "min_fine_amount": 0,
  "max_actions": 50
}
````

### Sample output (one record)

```json
{
  "regulator": "SFC",
  "action_id": "26PR74",
  "target_entity": "Nerico Brothers Ltd",
  "target_type": "firm",
  "action_type": "ban",
  "date": "2026-05-12",
  "fine_amount_local": null,
  "fine_currency": "HKD",
  "fine_amount_usd": null,
  "jurisdiction": "Hong Kong",
  "summary": "SFC bans Nerico Brothers for serious failures in handling client assets and supervisory deficiencies.",
  "source_url": "https://www.sfc.hk/en/News-and-announcements/Policy-statements-and-announcements/News/Enforcement-news/Doc?refNo=26PR74",
  "data_source": "live"
}
```

### How the live scrape works

| Regulator | Endpoint | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| FINMA (CH) | `POST https://www.finma.ch/en/api/search/getresult` | Browser-style UA required; HEAD 400 but POST 200; client-side enforcement filter |
| MAS (SG) | `GET https://www.mas.gov.sg/news/enforcement-actions` (+ media-releases fallback) | Clean browser headers — polite-bot `From`/`X-Bot-Identity` headers cause Akamai 404 |
| SFC (HK) | `POST https://apps.sfc.hk/edistributionWeb/api/news/search?newsType=EF` | Filtered to `newsType=EF` (enforcement); refNo → public detail URL |

FX normalization uses tracked mid-market rates (CHF/USD 1.13, SGD/USD 0.74, HKD/USD 0.128 — refreshed 2026-05-30, manual refresh cycle).

### Per-regulator fair-share

When `regulator=all`, slots are distributed evenly across the three regulators (per-regulator floor `max_actions // 3`), then any leftover capacity is filled by most-recent records across all three. This prevents SFC's dense newsstream from dominating the output.

### Pricing

- **Actor start:** $0.005 per run
- **Enforcement action:** $0.20 per emitted record (primary event)

50 records per run = $10.005. Versus a Bloomberg compliance terminal seat at $24,000/year or Thomson Reuters World-Check at $5,000+/year, this is a fraction of the cost for the specific three-regulator coverage that matters for wealth-management compliance.

# Actor input Schema

## `regulator` (type: `string`):

Which regulator to scrape. 'all' fetches FINMA + MAS + SFC and rebalances per-regulator.

## `action_type` (type: `string`):

Filter to one enforcement action type. 'all' returns every type.

## `days_back` (type: `integer`):

How many days of history to scan. Higher values increase coverage but also runtime.

## `min_fine_amount` (type: `integer`):

Optional USD floor. Records below this USD-normalized amount are excluded (curated records are always kept).

## `max_actions` (type: `integer`):

Hard cap on records returned. When regulator=all, slots are distributed evenly across the three regulators.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "regulator": "all",
  "action_type": "all",
  "days_back": 90,
  "min_fine_amount": 0,
  "max_actions": 50
}
```
