What it does

The actor reads the US Department of Justice FARA (Foreign Agents Registration Act) registrant list, applies the filters you pass as input, and writes one normalized record per registrant to the run's dataset. Each record includes the FARA registration number, registrant name, active/terminated status, full mailing address, and registration and termination dates. Missing source values are returned as null, never invented.

Data covers foreign agents registered with the US DOJ under FARA. Filter by name keyword, status, state, and registration date range.

Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns up to 50 active registrants whose name contains "law".

{
  "registrantNames": ["law"],
  "status": "active",
  "maxRegistrants": 50
}

Leave registrantNames empty to return all registrants that match the other filters. Every input field is optional.

Input reference

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
registrantNames	string[]	no	["law"]	Registrant name keywords, one per line. A record is kept if its name contains any term. Leave empty to return all registrants that match the other filters.
status	enum	no	active	Which registrants to return. One of active, terminated, all.
states	string[]	no	(any)	Two-letter US state codes to restrict results, for example DC, NY, CA.
registeredFrom	string	no	(empty)	Only registrants first registered on or after this date (YYYY-MM-DD).
registeredTo	string	no	(empty)	Only registrants first registered on or before this date (YYYY-MM-DD).
maxRegistrants	integer	no	50	Maximum number of registrants to collect.

Filters combine with logical AND. Name keywords within registrantNames combine with logical OR.

Output reference

One dataset item per registrant. Types: string, integer, boolean, or null when the source value is absent.

Field	Type	Description
registrationNumber	integer	FARA registration number (unique per registrant).
name	string	Registrant (foreign agent) name.
status	string	Registration status: Active or Terminated.
terminated	boolean	true if the registration has been terminated, else false.
address	string	Registrant street address.
city	string	Registrant city.
state	string	Two-letter state code.
zip	string	Postal code.
registrationDate	string	Date the registrant first registered (YYYY-MM-DD).
terminationDate	string	Date the registration was terminated (YYYY-MM-DD), or null if active.
matchedSearch	string	The keyword from registrantNames that matched this record, or null when no name filter was set.
source	string	Source label, US DOJ FARA Registrants.
observedAt	string	ISO 8601 timestamp of when the record was collected.
error	string	null on success. On a failed run, a single item with a populated error field is written instead.

Example output record

Real record from a live run (input {"registrantNames":["law"],"status":"active","maxRegistrants":50}):

{
  "registrationNumber": 7756,
  "name": "Rogers Law Group, PLLC",
  "status": "Active",
  "terminated": false,
  "address": "3075 Healthy Way",
  "city": "Birmingham",

Run via API and CLI

Start a run and wait for it to finish, then read the dataset. Replace <TOKEN> with your Apify API token.

Run synchronously and get dataset items in one call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~us-fara-foreign-agents-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"registrantNames":["strategies"],"status":"all","states":["DC"],"maxRegistrants":100}'

Start a run asynchronously:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~us-fara-foreign-agents-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"status":"active","registeredFrom":"2024-01-01","maxRegistrants":500}'

Apify CLI:

apify call scrapers_lat/us-fara-foreign-agents-scraper \
  --input '{"registrantNames":["Mercury"],"status":"all"}'

Fetch results

Every run writes to a dataset. Fetch items as JSON, CSV, or Excel by changing format:

# JSON
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=json"

# CSV
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=csv"

# Paginate large datasets
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&offset=1000&limit=1000"

<DATASET_ID> is returned as defaultDatasetId in the run object. Use offset and limit to page through large result sets. clean=true drops empty and internal fields.

Billing and limits

• Pay per result. You are charged per record returned (result event). See the pricing tab for the current per-result price.
• No charge on failure. If a run errors, the actor writes a single item with a populated error field and does not charge for it. Empty runs cost nothing.
• Spend cap respected. Set maxTotalChargeUsd on the run; once reached, the actor stops emitting and charging further billable results.
• Free Apify plans are capped at 10 records per run. Upgrade for higher maxRegistrants.

FAQ and troubleshooting

A run returned 0 records. Why? The filter combination matched nothing. Remove states, widen the date range, or clear registrantNames. Zero-result runs are not charged.

How do I get only terminated registrants? Set status to terminated. Use all to return both active and terminated.

How do keyword filters work? A record is kept if its name contains any term in registrantNames. The matched term is reported in matchedSearch.

Why is terminationDate null? The registrant is still active, so no termination date exists. Missing source values are returned as null.

Is this an official DOJ tool? No. This actor is independent and has no affiliation with the US Department of Justice. It reads only publicly available FARA registrant data.
