NTSB Aviation Accident & Incident Scraper (CAROL)
Extract structured records from the NTSB CAROL Investigation Database — the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board's authoritative archive of investigated transportation accidents and incidents. With ~180,000 historical records covering aviation, highway, marine, pipeline, railroad, and hazardous materials, CAROL is the canonical safety-investigation dataset for the United States.
This Actor wraps CAROL's internal search API and returns clean, filterable JSON. Defaults pull aviation events (the largest mode), but every other NTSB mode is selectable.
Key Features
- All NTSB modes — Aviation (default), Highway, Marine, Pipeline, Railroad, Hazmat
- Event type filter — Accidents only, Incidents only, or both
- Geographic filters — State, country
- Date range — Filter by event date (MM/DD/YYYY)
- Severity filter — Highest injury level (Fatal, Serious, Minor, None)
- Aircraft / vehicle make — Substring match (e.g.,
Cessna,Boeing,Piper) - Direct case URLs — Every record links back to the NTSB case docket on data.ntsb.gov
- No authentication required — Public NTSB CAROL API
