🛡️ EU Safety Gate (RAPEX) Product Alerts Scraper

🚀 Turn the EU Safety Gate rapid alert system into a clean feed of dangerous product alerts. Pull 24 fields per alert from a database of more than 31,000 notifications spanning 31 European countries.

The EU Safety Gate (formerly RAPEX) is the European Union rapid alert system for dangerous non-food products. National authorities notify the European Commission whenever a product on their market poses a risk to consumer health and safety, and the Commission publishes those notifications for everyone. This Actor collects those alerts into structured records so you can monitor them at scale.

Coverage: every alert includes the product name, brand, category, risk type, the notifying country, the country of origin, the alert number, the alert date, the corrective measures taken, and a product image. You can filter by country, product category, risk level, keyword, and date range, then collect anywhere from a handful of alerts to the full historical archive.

🎯 Target Audience	💡 Primary Use Cases
Product safety and compliance teams	Monitor new alerts for your product categories
Importers, retailers, and marketplaces	Screen suppliers and listings against active alerts
Consumer protection researchers	Analyze risk trends across countries and categories
Brand protection and legal teams	Track counterfeit and non-compliant product notices

📋 What the EU Safety Gate Scraper does

This Actor reads the official Safety Gate (RAPEX) notification database and returns each alert as a structured record. It pulls the product details (name, brand, model, description, barcode), the risk assessment (risk level, risk types, risk and alert descriptions), the geography (notifying country, country of origin), the administrative metadata (alert number, alert date, alert group, counterfeit flag), the corrective measures ordered, and product images. Server side filters let you target a specific country, category, risk level, keyword, or date window before any data is collected.

📊 Data fields

Each record includes: alertDate, alertNumber, brand, category, imageUrl, notifyingCountry, productName, results, riskLevel, riskTypes, scrapedAt, url. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
