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 ## Trade Screening Intelligence - Consolidated Screening List Screen entities against 12+ US government restricted party lists using the Trade.gov Consolidated Screening List API. Perform single entity screening, batch screening of multiple parties, list composition analysis, and generate comprehensive compliance reports — capability that typically requires expensive subscriptions to services like Descartes Visual Compliance ($10K-$50K/year). ### What This Actor Does This actor connects to the official Trade.gov Consolidated Screening List (CSL) API to screen entities against all major US government restricted party lists. The CSL consolidates 12+ export screening lists from the Departments of Commerce, State, and Treasury into a single searchable database. Essential for any company engaged in international trade, export compliance, or due diligence. ### Features - **Single Entity Screening**: Screen any person, company, or entity against all restricted party lists with risk assessment - **Batch Screening**: Screen multiple entities at once with consolidated risk report - **List Analysis**: Analyze composition and statistics of screening lists by country, type, and source - **Compliance Reports**: Generate comprehensive compliance reports with risk levels and recommendations - **Risk Classification**: Automatic HIGH/MEDIUM/CLEAR risk assessment based on list severity - **12+ Screening Lists**: SDN, Entity List, DPL, UVL, FSE, ISN, SSI, CAPTA, ITAR, CMC, and more - **Pay-Per-Event Pricing**: Only $0.05 per successful analysis ### Screening Lists Covered | List Code | Full Name | Agency | |-----------|-----------|--------| | SDN | Specially Designated Nationals | OFAC (Treasury) | | EL | Entity List | BIS (Commerce) | | DPL | Denied Persons List | BIS (Commerce) | | UVL | Unverified List | BIS (Commerce) | | FSE | Foreign Sanctions Evaders | OFAC (Treasury) | | ISN | Nonproliferation Sanctions | State Dept | | SSI | Sectoral Sanctions | OFAC (Treasury) | | CMC | Chinese Military Companies | OFAC (Treasury) | | MEU | Military End-User List | BIS (Commerce) | | CAPTA | CAPTA List | Treasury | | ITAR | ITAR Debarred | DDTC (State) | | 561 | 561 List | OFAC (Treasury) | ### Analysis Modes #### 1. `entity_screening` — Screen Single Entity Screens a single entity name against all consolidated screening lists. Returns all matches with detailed information including addresses, IDs, programs, and an automatic risk assessment. **Output includes:** - All matching entries with full details - Risk level assessment (CLEAR/MEDIUM/HIGH) - Compliance recommendation - Breakdown by source list #### 2. `batch_screening` — Screen Multiple Entities Screens multiple comma-separated entity names against all lists. Provides individual and aggregate risk assessments. **Output includes:** - Per-entity match count and risk level - Top matches for each entity - Aggregate risk summary - Clear vs. flagged entity counts #### 3. `list_analysis` — List Statistics Analyzes the composition and distribution of screening list entries. Shows breakdowns by source list, country, and entity type. **Output includes:** - Entry count per screening list - Country distribution - Entity type breakdown (individual, entity, vessel, aircraft) - Top countries per list #### 4. `compliance_report` — Full Compliance Report Generates a comprehensive compliance report for an entity, searching across both entity and individual types. Provides detailed risk assessment, recommendations, and a compliance disclaimer. **Output includes:** - Overall risk assessment with detailed explanation - Compliance recommendations tailored to risk level - Lists matched with full names - Countries and programs involved - Legal disclaimer ### Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | |-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------| | `mode` | string | Yes | `entity_screening` | Analysis mode to run | | `searchTerm` | string | No | `Huawei` | Entity name(s) to screen (comma-separated for batch) | | `country` | string | No | — | Country filter (ISO 2-letter code) | | `listSource` | string | No | — | Filter by specific list (e.g., SDN, EL) | | `entityType` | string | No | `all` | Entity type filter | | `limit` | integer | No | `50` | Maximum results per search (1-500) | | `tradeGovApiKey` | string | No | — | Trade.gov API key (free from developer.trade.gov) | ### Getting an API Key 1.
