ClinicalTrials.gov Studies Export

Export normalized public study records from the official ClinicalTrials.gov API. This Actor is built for clinical intelligence, market research, trial monitoring, sponsor tracking, RAG pipelines, and regulatory research workflows.

What it does

• Searches ClinicalTrials.gov by broad term, condition, intervention, sponsor, and location.
• Saves one normalized dataset item per public study record.
• Extracts study status, titles, dates, sponsors, collaborators, conditions, interventions, design details, eligibility, and locations.
• Omits study contact names, emails, phone numbers, and patient-level data.
• Uses no browser, no proxy, no login, and no API key.

Notes and limits

The Actor uses the public ClinicalTrials.gov API v2 endpoint:

• https://clinicaltrials.gov/api/v2/studies

Requests are limited to one request per second. Filters for study status, type, and phase are applied after retrieval so the Actor can remain stable even when API search syntax changes.

Suggested pricing

Use pay-per-result pricing at US$0.002 per study (US$2.00 per 1,000 results).

Cost estimate:

• ClinicalTrials.gov returns up to 100 studies per API page in this Actor.
• A 1,000-result run needs about 10 API requests.
• No browser and no proxy are used, so platform cost should usually stay below US$0.20 per 1,000 results.
• At US$2.00 per 1,000 results, there is room for Apify's platform fee and the creator's execution cost.

Compliance posture

This Actor collects public clinical study registry records. It does not collect patient data, does not automate login, does not submit forms, and intentionally omits contact names, emails, and phone numbers.

Data source and notices

Data comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov API (U.S. National Library of Medicine). This Actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by NLM, NIH or ClinicalTrials.gov. It omits names, emails and phone numbers of study contacts.
