WIPO UDRP Decisions Scraper
Scrape WIPO UDRP domain name arbitration decisions by case year and number range, up to a million per run. Each decision returns the full case text, parties, domain, panel, and outcome. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
WIPO's UDRP decisions are public but spread across thousands of individual case pages with no bulk download. Manually collecting them for research or legal analysis takes weeks. This actor reads the WIPO Legal Database directly, walks through case IDs you specify, and returns each full decision in one consistent row.
| Who uses it | What they scrape WIPO for |
|---|---|
| IP attorneys | Researching panelist tendencies and decision patterns before filing a UDRP complaint. |
| Domain investors | Checking how panels have ruled on similar domain names to assess reverse domain name hijacking risk. |
| Legal academics | Building a corpus of UDRP decisions for empirical analysis of trademark law trends. |
| Brand protection managers | Monitoring decisions involving competitors to understand enforcement strategies. |
What it does
This Actor collects WIPO UDRP arbitration decisions by year and case number range, and returns each one as a flat row with the full decision text, parties, disputed domain, panel members, and procedural history.
- ๐ Full decision text: the complete body of each ruling, not a summary or headnote.
- ๐ Year-based traversal: pick a case year and the actor walks every decision in sequence from your start number.
- ๐ข Controlled range: set a start case number and a maximum count to collect exactly the slice you need.
- ๐ค Multi-format export: download your dataset as CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML for direct use in your tools.
Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Check that your year and start case number combination exists. WIPO UDRP cases for a given year typically start at 0001. If you set a start number higher than the last published case for that year, the actor will find nothing. Try starting at 1.
The actor stopped before reaching my maxItems.
The actor stops when it runs out of sequential case numbers for the given year. If WIPO published 4,200 cases in your target year and you started at 1 with a max of 5,000, the actor will stop after case 4,200. This is expected behavior.
Some decisions are missing or incomplete.
WIPO occasionally redacts portions of decisions or publishes them in a non-standard format. The actor extracts whatever text is present on the public page. If a decision page is temporarily unavailable, retry the run.
The run is taking a long time.
Each decision requires a separate page request. Collecting thousands of decisions will take time. Reduce your maxItems or increase the run timeout in your actor settings if needed.
I need decisions from a year range, not one year.
Run the actor once per year with the same settings, then merge the resulting datasets. You can chain multiple runs using an Apify task or a simple script.
FAQ
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Does this actor require a WIPO account or API key? | No. The actor reads the public WIPO Legal Database pages directly. No registration, no API key, and no authentication are needed. |
| What is a WIPO UDRP decision? | A UDRP decision is a ruling under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy, issued by a WIPO-appointed panel. It determines whether a domain name was registered and used in bad faith and should be transferred or cancelled. |
| How are WIPO case IDs formatted? | WIPO case IDs follow the pattern D{year}-{number}, for example D2024-0001. The actor uses the year and number you provide to construct these IDs and walk through them sequentially. |
| Can I scrape decisions from multiple years in one run? | One run covers one year. To collect multiple years, run the actor once per year and merge the datasets afterward. |
| What happens if a case number does not exist? | The actor skips non-existent case numbers and continues to the next one in sequence until it reaches your maximum count. |
| Does the actor return decisions in languages other than English? | Yes. WIPO publishes decisions in English, French, Spanish, and other languages. The actor returns the text as published on the case page. |
| Can I filter by complainant, respondent, or domain name? | The actor collects all decisions in the range you specify. Filter by party or domain after the run using your dataset tool, or by searching the exported CSV or JSON. |
| How many decisions can I scrape in one run? | You can set the maximum up to 1,000,000 decisions per run. WIPO publishes roughly 4,000 to 5,000 UDRP decisions per year, so a full year fits comfortably in one run. |
| Is this actor suitable for scraping WIPO decisions outside the UDRP system? | This actor is built for UDRP cases with D-prefix IDs. Other WIPO case types use different numbering schemes and are not supported. |
| What export formats are supported? | You can export your dataset as CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML from the Apify dataset tab after the run completes. |
