What it does

The EU Safety Gate (previously RAPEX) is the European Commission's rapid alert system for dangerous non-food products. Every Friday it publishes new alerts covering toys, electricals, cosmetics, motor vehicles, childcare articles, chemicals, clothing and more. This scraper turns that feed into clean, structured records you can filter, export and monitor — the full archive from 2005 to the latest weekly report.

What each alert includes

Every record carries the alert (case) number, alert level (serious risk / other risk), publication date, week and year, and the notifying country. For the product you get the category, product name, brand, model/type, specific product name, barcodes and batch numbers, plus a full description. The risk section gives the risk types (for example chemical, choking, injuries, burns, electric shock) and the full risk description. Corrective measures are captured both as readable text and as a structured list — the economic operator involved, the category of measure (recall from consumers, withdrawal from the market, ban, stop of sales) and its entry-into-force date. You also get the country of origin, whether the product was sold online and by which online trader, any company recall reference and recall page, product images, and a direct link to the official alert.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which alerts does this cover?
All Safety Gate / RAPEX alerts for dangerous non-food consumer products notified by EU and EEA authorities, from 2005 to the latest weekly report. It does not cover food, feed or medicines, which are handled by separate EU systems.

How fresh is the data?
A new weekly report is published every Friday. Runs always read the current published set, so newly published alerts appear as soon as the Commission releases them.

How many alerts can I pull in one run?
From a handful of the latest alerts to the entire multi-year archive. Use Max alerts to cap the run, and a date range or filters to keep each pull focused.

What happens to fields an alert does not list?
Fields the Safety Gate does not provide for a record — such as a barcode, a brand or a batch number — are returned as null or an empty array. The scraper never invents values.

What does a record cost?
Billing is per alert returned. Failed runs return no billable records.
