## Pricing

from $100.50 / 1,000 sanctions entity deltas

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## EU Consolidated Sanctions Change Watch

Entity-level changes to the EU consolidated financial sanctions list (FSD): primary name, subject type, the regulation programmes an entity sits under, and the official remark, keyed on the EU reference number. Watches the whole list — 6,000+ entities per pass — and reports what moved.

### Source

### Pricing

| Event | Price (FREE tier) |
|---|---|
| Actor start (`apify-actor-start`) | $0.02 one-time |
| Source check (`source-check`) | $0.10 |
| **Per delta (`sanctions-entity-delta`)** | **$0.15** |

`source-check` ladder, GOLD-floored: **$0.10 / $0.09 / $0.08 / $0.067**, charged
once per run after enumeration terminates — seed and genuine-zero runs included.
The per-delta value event (`sanctions-entity-delta`) is the **primary** event and is priced at **$0.15 per delta** at the FREE tier. Ladder, GOLD-floored: **$0.15 / $0.135 / $0.12 / $0.1005** (FREE / BRONZE / SILVER / GOLD-PLATINUM-DIAMOND). `source-check` still charges; it is no longer the headline event. Billed deltas are capped at 500 per run and any overflow is reported as a withholding rather than charged.

### Snapshot mode is a PREVIEW

`watch_mode: false` returns at most **25 records**, hard-capped in code regardless
of `max_items`, labeled `output_mode: "preview"`. This cell sells change detection,
not bulk record export.

### Watch semantics

First watch run stores a private baseline and emits **zero** deltas. Later runs emit
`NEW` / `CHANGED` / `REMOVED` keyed on the source-native id with `before` / `after`
and `changed_fields`.

### Source cadence

The Commission regenerates the export on its own schedule (generationDate is carried on every run's scope line). A pass that finds no entity changed is the normal state of a 6,000-entity list, not a failure.

### Terminal states

`NORMAL` · `SUCCEEDED-0: GENUINE_EMPTY` · `SUCCEEDED-0` (no change) · `PARTIAL` · `BLOCKED`.
A zero with no evidence FAILS loud rather than exiting 0 quietly.

# Actor input Schema

## `subject_type` (type: `string`):

Restrict to persons or to entities.

## `programme_contains` (type: `array`):

Optional regulation programme codes, e.g. 'UKR', 'IRQ'.

## `name_contains` (type: `array`):

Optional substrings matched against the primary name.

## `watch_mode` (type: `boolean`):

First run seeds a private baseline and emits ZERO deltas.

## `baseline_id` (type: `string`):

Names the private baseline.

## `max_items` (type: `integer`):

Hard cap on entities processed.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "subject_type": "all",
  "programme_contains": [],
  "name_contains": [],
  "watch_mode": true,
  "baseline_id": "default",
  "max_items": 400
}
```

# 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "subject_type": "all",
    "programme_contains": [],
    "name_contains": [],
    "watch_mode": false,
    "baseline_id": "default",
    "max_items": 400
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("nexgenwatch/eu-consolidated-sanctions-change-watch").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);
});
