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 ## OFAC Sanctions Scraper — SDN & Consolidated Lists (KYC / AML) Scrape the **official US Treasury OFAC sanctions lists** — the **SDN** (Specially Designated Nationals & Blocked Persons) and the **Consolidated** (non-SDN) list — straight from OFAC's public XML export. No API key, no login, no anti-bot. This is US-government (public-domain) data. Get sanctioned **people, companies, vessels and aircraft** with their **aliases, addresses, nationalities, dates of birth, ID documents and sanctions programs**. Built for **KYC, AML, compliance, due diligence and sanctions screening**. Pairs with the [GLEIF LEI](https://apify.com/opendata-labs/gleif-lei-scraper) and [UK Companies House](https://apify.com/opendata-labs/companieshouse-scraper) scrapers for a full entity-and-risk data stack. ### Modes - **Search** — return only entries matching a name/alias, sanctions program, entry type or country. - **Full list** — export the entire chosen list. ### Which list `sdn`, `consolidated`, or `both`. ### Example input ```json { "mode": "search", "list": "sdn", "program": "RUSSIA-EO14024", "entryType": "Entity", "maxItems": 5000 } ```` ### Output fields `uid`, `list`, `type`, `name`, `title`, `programs`, `aliases`, `addresses`, `nationalities`, `citizenships`, `datesOfBirth`, `placesOfBirth`, `ids`, `callSign`, `vesselType`, `vesselFlag`, `remarks`, `ofacSearchUrl`. ### Notes - Data is the official OFAC export, updated by Treasury as designations change. - Name search also matches aliases (a.k.a.), which is how screening tools catch designated parties operating under other names. - This tool provides raw list data; it does not score or adjudicate matches. ### Keywords OFAC scraper, SDN list, sanctions list, KYC data, AML screening, sanctions screening, blocked persons, denied party, compliance data, watchlist, Treasury sanctions, Specially Designated Nationals, consolidated sanctions list. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): 'search' returns only entries matching your filters. 'full\_list' exports the entire chosen list. ## `list` (type: `string`): SDN = Specially Designated Nationals (the main blocked-persons list). Consolidated = the non-SDN consolidated list. 'both' scrapes each. ## `nameQuery` (type: `string`): Search mode. Match this text against the primary name and all aliases (case-insensitive). ## `program` (type: `string`): Search mode. Match a sanctions program, e.g. 'IRAN', 'CUBA', 'SDGT', 'UKRAINE-EO13662', 'RUSSIA-EO14024'. ## `entryType` (type: `string`): Search mode. Restrict to a type of sanctioned party. ## `country` (type: `string`): Search mode. Match this text against addresses and nationalities (case-insensitive). ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Stop after pushing this many rows to the dataset. ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "search", "list": "sdn", "nameQuery": "MARIA", "entryType": "", "maxItems": 5000 } ``` # 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 '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "nameQuery": "MARIA", "program": "", "country": "" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("opendata-labs/ofac-sanctions-scraper").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); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
