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

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 Actions Actor Scrapes CFPB enforcement actions and individual action pages into structured JSON records. ### What it does - Collects action titles from the public CFPB enforcement-actions listing. - Follows each action page to capture forum, docket number, action date, status, tags, and document links. - Extracts summary text and any redress or penalty language that appears in the page copy. ### Use cases 1. Track new CFPB enforcement actions for compliance and risk-monitoring workflows. 2. Build a public regulatory-events dataset for analysts, journalists, or sales teams. 3. Monitor docket/document links and redress language for downstream alerting. ### Input - `startUrls`: one or more CFPB enforcement-actions list pages or action pages - `maxItems`: maximum number of records to emit - `fetchDetails`: fetch each action page for full metadata - `delaySeconds`: pause between listing requests - `detailDelaySeconds`: pause before detail-page requests ### Output fields | Field | Description | |---|---| | `action_title` | Title shown on the CFPB action page | | `company_person_names` | Entity or person names in the action title | | `category` | Primary product tag from the action page | | `status` | Enforcement status or forum status | | `action_date` | Initial filing or action date | | `docket_case_links` | Linked filings, PDFs, or case URLs | | `summary` | Introductory summary text | | `tags` | Product tags from the page | | `penalties_redress` | Monetary penalty or redress language when present | | `source_urls` | URLs used to build the record | ### Example output ```json { "action_title": "Wise US Inc.", "company_person_names": "Wise US Inc.", "category": "Remittances", "status": "Post Order/Post Judgment", "action_date": "JAN 30, 2025", "docket_case_links": [ "https://www.consumerfinance.gov/enforcement/actions/wise-us-inc/", "https://files.consumerfinance.gov/f/documents/cfpb_wise-us-inc-consent-order_2025-01.pdf", "https://files.consumerfinance.gov/f/documents/cfpb_wise-us-inc-stipulation_2025-01.pdf" ], "summary": "On January 30, 2025, the Bureau issued an order against Wise US Inc., a nonbank remittance transfer provider headquartered in New York, New York.", "tags": ["Remittances"], "penalties_redress": "The Amended Consent Order requires Wise to take measures to ensure future compliance, provide approximately $450,000 for consumer redress, and pay a $44,955 civil money penalty.", "source_urls": ["https://www.consumerfinance.gov/enforcement/actions/wise-us-inc/"] } ```` ### Pricing $6.00 per 1,000 results ($0.006 per result) Set a max cost limit when starting a run to control spend. The Actor stops automatically when the limit is reached. ### Example costs 100 results = $0.60 500 results = $3.00 1,000 results = $6.00 5,000 results = $30.00 ### Notes - Public .gov source, no authentication required. - Uses static HTML parsing and does not require Playwright. - Detail-page enrichment is enabled by default. # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): CFPB enforcement-actions list pages or individual action pages to scrape. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of records to emit. ## `fetchDetails` (type: `boolean`): Visit individual action pages to enrich each result with docket links, status, tags, and redress signals. ## `delaySeconds` (type: `number`): Polite pause between listing-page requests. ## `detailDelaySeconds` (type: `number`): Pause before detail-page fetches. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.consumerfinance.gov/enforcement/actions/" } ], "maxItems": 100, "fetchDetails": true, "delaySeconds": 1, "detailDelaySeconds": 0.75 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
