# Check EU Safety Gate alerts for toys from China

**Use case:** 

Get the recent EU Safety Gate (RAPEX) alerts for toys made in China: product, brand, risk type, the danger found, the measures taken and the notifying country, with a link to the official alert. Change the keyword or the country of origin to check any product you plan to import. An empty result is not proof that a product is safe.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/sourcing-data-studio/eu-safety-gate-api.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
