FTC Consumer Protection Cases

Public FTC consumer-protection case records — matters, defendants and topics.

Factual public records — assembled for research and monitoring.

📊 What you get

Clean JSON, one record per case (13 fields):

• case_id — FTC matter number when published, otherwise the case slug
• matter_number — FTC matter number (e.g. "222 3135")
• title — Case title
• respondents — Parsed respondent / defendant names
• case_type — Antitrust · Data Security · Deceptive Advertising · Robocalls · Consumer Protection · Other
• status — Case status (e.g. Pending)
• date_filed — Last-updated date shown on the FTC listing (YYYY-MM-DD)
• summary_excerpt — Case summary excerpt
• monetary_relief_usd — First monetary figure found in the summary, in USD (null when none)
• consent_decree — True when settlement / consent-order language is present
• file_url / source_url — Canonical ftc.gov case page
• scraped_at — Fetch timestamp (UTC)

Pricing (Pay-Per-Event): $0.05 per case record returned — about 20 cases per $1 — plus $0.005 per Actor start event.

If the FTC listing answers and no case matches your filters, the run finishes with 0 rows and an explanatory status message, and no per-case charge is made. If ftc.gov is unreachable or returns a challenge page, the run fails loudly rather than returning an empty success.
