How it works

The actor downloads EMA's nightly XLSX bulk export (approximately 885 KB, ~2,700 records) using a single HTTP request. No browser automation, no pagination, no proxy required. The XLSX is parsed in-memory using Node.js built-in modules, then filtered and saved to the Apify dataset.

Performance: Typically completes in under 10 seconds.

Memory: 256 MB is sufficient. The actor is configured for 512 MB to be safe.

{
"medicineCategory":"human",
