EU Sanctions Scraper 🛡️

An Apify Actor that scrapes the latest EU and UN sanctions lists from official public sources. No API key or authentication required — all data is free and publicly available.

What It Does

Downloads and parses sanctions data from multiple official sources:

Source	Records	Description
EU FSF (Consolidated List)	~5,900	EU Consolidated Financial Sanctions List — asset freezes, all sanctioned persons & entities
EU Sanctions Map	~1,370	Additional EU restrictive measures not in the FSF (non-freeze sanctions)
UN Sanctions	~1,000	UN Security Council Consolidated Sanctions List

Each record includes: name, entity type, aliases, sanctions programs, listing dates, legal basis, countries, addresses, birth dates, passport/tax IDs, and more.

Why Use This

• Free & public data — no API keys, no subscriptions, no rate limits
• Always up-to-date — pulls from daily-refreshed OpenSanctions artifacts
• Structured output — flat JSON records ready for databases, spreadsheets, or compliance tools
• Multi-source — combines EU FSF, EU Sanctions Map, and UN sanctions in one actor
