## Pricing

Pay per usage

This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## CFPB Enforcement Action Risk Monitor

Scores public CFPB enforcement actions into workflow-ready consumer-finance risk signals.

Instead of returning a raw list of enforcement pages, this Actor emits rows with:

- risk score and tier
- matched penalty/refund/fair-lending/product keywords
- inferred product area and action type
- CFPB source URL and summary/detail excerpt
- delta status from the previous persisted snapshot

### Use cases

- compliance and legal market intelligence
- fintech / mortgage / banking competitor monitoring
- supplier-risk and partner due diligence
- consumer-finance regulatory watchlists

### Data source

Public CFPB enforcement-action pages. The CFPB site returned 403 from this cron environment, so the Actor uses Jina Reader for public-page retrieval and does not require authentication, cookies, private accounts, or paid proxies.

### Output

Each dataset item is one scored enforcement action. A `SUMMARY` key-value-store record contains run metadata, source URLs, row counts, delta counts, errors, and top matches.

### Safe defaults

Default input scans the newest CFPB enforcement-actions page, enriches up to 20 public detail pages, emits rows scoring `>=35`, and persists a named snapshot for daily deltas.

# Actor input Schema

## `riskKeywords` (type: `array`):

Terms that indicate enforcement severity or buyer relevance.
## `productKeywords` (type: `array`):

Financial product, company, or market terms to boost in scoring.
## `updatedSince` (type: `string`):

Optional YYYY-MM-DD threshold on CFPB action date.
## `maxPages` (type: `integer`):

CFPB enforcement-action list pages to scan via public page reader. Keep small for low-load scans.
## `enrichDetailPages` (type: `boolean`):

Fetch public CFPB action detail pages for richer scoring.
## `maxDetailPages` (type: `integer`):

Caps detail-page enrichment to keep runs bounded.
## `minRiskScore` (type: `integer`):

Only emit enforcement actions scoring at least this high.
## `enableDelta` (type: `boolean`):

Compare current CFPB action rows to the previous persisted snapshot.
## `emitRemoved` (type: `boolean`):

Emit rows for previously matching actions no longer present in the current scan.
## `persistSnapshot` (type: `boolean`):

Save current matching rows in a named key-value store for future delta detection.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("signaltools/cfpb-enforcement-action-risk-monitor").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
