## 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 web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

# README

## Common Criteria Certified Products Portal Actor

Downloads and normalizes the official Common Criteria certified IT products registry —
2,100+ security-certified products across national schemes (US, FR, SE, KR, and others) — into a
clean, structured dataset with a derived current/archived status field the source CSV doesn't
provide directly.

### Use cases

- **Security procurement / vendor risk** — verify a vendor's claimed Common Criteria certification
  and check whether it's still current or has been archived.
- **GRC / compliance monitoring** — track newly certified or newly archived products in a category
  or scheme over time via scheduled runs.
- **Product evaluation research** — pull certification report and security target links for a
  given product category without hand-parsing the government CSV.

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `maxItems` | integer | 2500 | Maximum number of rows to push (full current registry is ~2,100) |
| `statusFilter` | string | `all` | `all`, `current`, or `archived` — derived from Archived Date vs today |
| `categoryFilter` | string | \`\` (none) | Exact-match filter on product Category |

### Output fields

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `category` | string | Product category |
| `productName` | string | Certified product name |
| `manufacturer` | string | Vendor/manufacturer name |
| `certificationScheme` | string | 2-letter national scheme code (e.g. FR, SE, KR) |
| `assuranceLevel` | string | EAL/assurance level string |
| `protectionProfiles` | string | Protection profile(s) claimed, if any |
| `certificationDate` | string | Original certification date (MM/DD/YYYY) |
| `archivedDate` | string | Certificate expiry/archival date (MM/DD/YYYY) |
| `certificationReportUrl` | string | Link to the certification report PDF |
| `securityTargetUrl` | string | Link to the security target PDF |
| `maintenanceDate` | string | Latest maintenance date, if any |
| `maintenanceTitle` | string | Maintenance report title, if any |
| `maintenanceReportUrl` | string | Maintenance report PDF link, if any |
| `maintenanceSecurityTargetUrl` | string | Maintenance security target PDF link, if any |
| `sourceRowStatus` | string | Derived: `current` or `archived` |

# Actor input Schema

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of certified-product rows to push (the full current registry is ~2,100 rows)

## `statusFilter` (type: `string`):

Filter by derived certification status (archived = the certificate's Archived Date has already passed)

## `categoryFilter` (type: `string`):

Exact-match filter on the product Category column (e.g. "Access Control Devices and Systems"). Leave blank for no filter.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "maxItems": 2500,
  "statusFilter": "all",
  "categoryFilter": ""
}
```

# 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("tehsnarf/common-criteria-certified-products").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) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("tehsnarf/common-criteria-certified-products").call(run_input=run_input)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call tehsnarf/common-criteria-certified-products --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,tehsnarf/common-criteria-certified-products"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
