## 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

## EU Sanctions Scraper 🛡️

An [Apify Actor](https://apify.com/thriftykiwi/eu-sanctions-scraper) 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
