Austria Insolvency & Court Publications Scraper | Osterreichische Ediktsdatei

Screen Austrian insolvency proceedings - bankruptcies (Konkursverfahren), reorganizations (Sanierungsverfahren), and debt settlements (Schuldenregulierungsverfahren) - from the official Ediktsdatei court database, as structured JSON. The official data feed requires an IWG government license and a formal application; this actor is the pay-per-use, no-paperwork alternative to the same court-published data.

No login, no API key, nothing to configure - a name or filter in, structured insolvency records out.

How much does it cost?

Pay per result - you are not charged for Apify platform usage, only per record. The price drops on higher Apify subscription tiers.

Volume	Cost
Start cost	$0.005
Per result	$0.005
~100 results	~$0.51
~1,000 results	~$5.01

Apify's $5 monthly free credit covers ~1,000 records. One-off counterparty checks stay free; recurring credit-risk watchlists (~2,000 records/month ≈ ~$10 gross, ~$5 net after the credit) are where you cross into paid use. Commercial insolvency-monitoring feeds run into the hundreds per month for the same court-published data.

Is it legal, and where does the data come from?

Data comes from edikte.justiz.gv.at, the official court-publication database operated by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Justice. It is a public register published by law (Ediktsdateigesetz) for transparency and creditor protection, covering all 9 federal states and all Austrian courts. No authentication or access control is bypassed. You remain responsible for lawful, GDPR-compliant use downstream.

• Due diligence - verify a target company before an M&A transaction or investment.
• Supplier monitoring - schedule runs to detect insolvency proceedings for key suppliers early.
• Debt recovery - track filing deadlines (Anmeldefrist) and creditor-meeting dates so you never miss one.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape the Ediktsdatei? Yes. It is a public register published by law for transparency and creditor protection. No access control is bypassed. Use the data lawfully for credit-risk / KYB / due-diligence purposes.

Do I need an IWG license or an API key? No. The official data feed needs an IWG license and a formal application; this actor reads the free public pages, so no license and no key - just an Apify account.

How do I monitor for new insolvencies? Schedule a run with your proceeding-type / state filters (or a name watchlist), and pull new publications as they appear.

What are the proceeding types? Konkursverfahren (bankruptcy), Sanierungsverfahren (reorganization), Schuldenregulierungsverfahren (debt settlement).

What export formats are supported? JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML, or read live via the API.

Limitations

• Name searches require at least 3 characters.
• Results per search follow the Ediktsdatei's own pagination limits; narrow with a state or date range for large sweeps.
• The source may change its page structure without notice.
