📰 UK The Gazette Statutory Notices Scraper

🚀 Export UK statutory notices in seconds. Track insolvencies, winding-up petitions, and official announcements straight from The Gazette public record.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-06-08 · 📊 Up to 12 fields per record · official Gazette feed · three regional editions

Turn The Gazette, the UK's official public record, into clean, structured records you can drop into a due-diligence workflow, a credit-monitoring dashboard, or a corporate-events tracker. Search the notice body for a keyword, restrict to a single edition or notice type, and limit to a publication date window.

Coverage is the public statutory notices The Gazette publishes across its three regional editions: insolvency notices, winding-up petitions, appointments of liquidators and administrators, bankruptcy orders, personal insolvency, state awards, Companies House notices, and more. Data is read live, so every run reflects the record at run time.

📋 What the UK Gazette Notices Scraper does

This Actor reads the official Gazette notices feed and returns one clean record per notice:

• Search text the notice body for a keyword such as insolvency, winding up, or a company name.
• Edition filter to The London, Edinburgh, or Belfast Gazette, or search all editions at once.
• Notice type filter to a single Gazette notice code (petitions to wind up, bankruptcy orders, appointment of administrators, and many more).
• Date range filter to a publication window using YYYY-MM-DD bounds.

You control how many records come back, and every record carries a scrapedAt timestamp.

Example 1 — recent winding-up petitions in The London Gazette

{
    "text": "winding up",
    "edition": "london",
    "noticeCode": "2401",
    "dateFrom": "2024-01-01",

}

Example 2 — all insolvency notices across every edition

{
