## 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.

## 📰 UK The Gazette Statutory Notices Scraper

> 🚀 **Export UK statutory notices in seconds.** Track insolvencies, winding-up petitions, and official announcements straight from The Gazette public record.

Turn The Gazette, the UK's official public record, into clean, structured records you can drop into a due-diligence workflow, a credit-monitoring dashboard, or a corporate-events tracker. Search the notice body for a keyword, restrict to a single edition or notice type, and limit to a publication date window.

Coverage is the public statutory notices The Gazette publishes across its three regional editions: insolvency notices, winding-up petitions, appointments of liquidators and administrators, bankruptcy orders, personal insolvency, state awards, Companies House notices, and more. Data is read live, so every run reflects the record at run time.

| 🎯 Target Audience | 💡 Primary Use Cases |
|---|---|
| Credit and risk teams | Monitor insolvencies and winding-up petitions |
| Due-diligence and KYC analysts | Check a company against the public record |
| Insolvency practitioners and lawyers | Track appointments and creditor meetings |
| Data and intelligence platforms | Seed a database with statutory notices |

### 📋 What the UK Gazette Notices Scraper does

This Actor reads the official Gazette notices feed and returns one clean record per notice:

- **Search text** the notice body for a keyword such as `insolvency`, `winding up`, or a company name.
- **Edition** filter to The London, Edinburgh, or Belfast Gazette, or search all editions at once.
- **Notice type** filter to a single Gazette notice code (petitions to wind up, bankruptcy orders, appointment of administrators, and many more).
- **Date range** filter to a publication window using `YYYY-MM-DD` bounds.

You control how many records come back, and every record carries a `scrapedAt` timestamp.

### 📊 Data fields

Each record includes: `author`, `category`, `edition`, `noticeCode`, `noticeId`, `organisation`, `publishedDate`, `scrapedAt`, `snippet`, `status`, `title`, `updatedDate`, `url`. All 13 field names come from a real production run, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
