Class Action Settlements Scraper — claim deadlines, payouts & no-proof claims

Right now there are 200+ open US class action settlements with money on the table — and on today's board, over 110 of them pay cash without requiring proof of purchase. The problem: they're spread across a board people check by hand, deadlines expire weekly, and the good ones (high payout, no proof, deadline still open) are mixed in with vouchers and long-shot claims.

This Actor pulls the entire open-settlements board from ClassAction.org in one HTTP request and turns every card into a clean, scored row. No login, no browser, no proxies.

Who this is for

• Consumer-finance & "free money" content creators — the settlements niche gets millions of views; this is your research pipeline (new claimable settlements, sorted by payout, every morning).
• Newsletter & alert operators — run on a schedule, diff on isNew, and email your list the claims worth filing this week.
• Lead-gen & legal marketing teams — track which settlements are open, what they pay, and when claim windows close.
• Anyone who files claims — isNoProofCash + claimScore is the shortlist.

What you get per settlement

Field	Description
name, slug	Settlement name and stable ID
claimUrl	Official settlement administrator website where claims are filed
payoutRaw	Payout exactly as published ("$75 - $5,000", "Up to $6,000", "$10 Gift Card")
payoutKind	cash, non-cash (vouchers/gift cards), varies
payoutMinUsd / payoutMaxUsd	Parsed USD bounds — null when the board publishes no number (never fake zeros)
proofRequired	false = claim without proof of purchase; tri-state (true/false/null)
isNoProofCash	Cash payout AND no proof required — the claims people actually file
deadlineDate, daysLeft	Claim deadline (ISO) and days remaining
urgency	ending-now (<7 days), ending-soon, later, no-fixed-deadline
isNew	Recently added to the board — your diff signal
description	Who is covered (eligibility summary)
claimScore	0-100: payout size (log-scaled, 40) + no proof (30) + time window (15) + freshness (15)

Inputs

• noProofOnly — only settlements claimable without proof of purchase
• cashOnly — drop vouchers and gift cards
• newOnly — only newly listed settlements (alert mode)
• minPayoutUsd — e.g. 100 to skip small claims
• maxDaysLeft — deadline-chaser mode (e.g. closing within 14 days)
• sortBy — claimScore (default), payout, endingSoon, newest

How to schedule this Actor (the whole point)

Settlements appear and expire weekly — this data is worth the most as a diff:

1. Open the Actor page → Schedules → create a schedule (daily is plenty; a full run costs about $0.40 at 200+ results).
2. Set input { "newOnly": true, "sortBy": "claimScore" } so each run returns only settlements added since the board changed.
3. Add an integration (Google Sheets, Slack/Discord webhook, email) to push new rows wherever you work.
4. For deadline alerts, run a second schedule with { "maxDaysLeft": 10, "noProofOnly": true } — cash claims closing soon.

Honest limitations

• Public board data only — no login, no private case documents, no bypassing anything.
• payoutMinUsd/payoutMaxUsd are parsed from the published text; when the board says "Varies", the fields stay null (we don't invent numbers).
• Deadlines and payouts are as published by the board; always verify on the official claim site (claimUrl) before filing. This Actor is a data tool, not legal advice.
