Monitor EU Safety Gate alerts, EU ICSMS, US CPSC recalls API and return product, brand, risk, authority, market, source URL, and business-action fields.

Who this is for

Marketplaces, sellers, importers, distributors, catalog teams, and compliance operators use this actor when they need focused recall alert output instead of a broad generic scraper or manual checking.

Buyer outcomes

• Catch recall alert product-risk signals before manual checks miss catalog or marketplace exposure.
• Prioritize review with product, brand, risk type, authority, affected market, severity, dates, and source URL.
• Route source-backed decision-support alerts into compliance, catalog, seller, or importer workflows.

Sources monitored

• EU Safety Gate alerts
• EU ICSMS
• US CPSC recalls API

Inputs

• sourceMode: use sample for a smoke run or configured official recall/safety source modes.
• startUrls: official alert, authority, recall, market-surveillance, or product-safety URLs when URL-backed lookup is supported.
• sourceIds: approved official recall, safety, medical-device, or compliance source identifiers.
• maxItems: bounded number of alert records to return.
• sinceLastRun: emit only new or updated safety alerts when scheduled.
• watchlistTerms: brand, product type, model, marketplace category, hazard, country, or authority keywords.
• webhookUrl: optional destination for compliance, catalog, seller, or importer review.

How it transforms the input

• Input: official safety alert, recall, product-risk, medical-device, market-surveillance, or authority record.
• Transformation: normalize product, brand, risk, authority, affected market, severity, dates, and evidence fields.
• Output: source-backed alert record with recommended business action and decision-support context.

Pricing

This actor uses Apify pay-per-event pricing. Current public listing guidance: $29-$49 / 1,000 launch validation records until public data proof is complete. Charges are tied to buyer-visible value events such as recall-alert, dataset-processed, record-saved, enriched-record. Small validation runs are supported so you can inspect output before scaling a schedule.

• recall-alert: Charge when Recall Alert Monitor produces Change Alert. Typical price: $0.043. A run that produces 10 matching records charges only for the matched buyer-value events and remains capped by the run limit.
• dataset-processed: Base charge when Recall Alert Monitor writes a non-empty default dataset. Typical price: $0.011. A run that produces 10 matching records charges only for the matched buyer-value events and remains capped by the run limit.
• record-saved: Charge for each buyer-visible result saved by Recall Alert Monitor. Typical price: $0.003. A run that produces 10 matching records charges only for the matched buyer-value events and remains capped by the run limit.
• enriched-record: Charge when Recall Alert Monitor adds match scoring, source evidence, or enrichment to a saved result. Typical price: $0.022. A run that produces 10 matching records charges only for the matched buyer-value events and remains capped by the run limit.
• first-run-cap: Recommended first run budget cap. Typical price: $3.820. Start with the default small run, inspect the dataset, then raise maxItems or schedule recurring runs.

Use cases

• Monitor recall alert recalls and safety alerts without checking authority portals manually.
• Route high-risk product, brand, market, or category matches to compliance and catalog teams.
• Keep source URLs and authority context attached for review.
• Support marketplace, importer, seller, or distributor triage with decision-support signals.

Trust and compliance

• Uses EU Safety Gate alerts, EU ICSMS, US CPSC recalls API.
• Keeps source URLs and source identifiers in output records for auditability.
• Does not require private credentials unless a source is explicitly configured for approved authenticated access.
• Recall, safety, and compliance outputs are decision support only, not legal or regulatory advice.

Limitations

• Results depend on public-source availability, source uptime, and source update cadence.
• Public sources can revise records after publication; rerun scheduled tasks for fresh evidence.
• Scores and match reasons are decision-support signals, not legal, financial, procurement, medical, safety, or regulatory advice.
• Large production runs can cost more than the default smoke run; start small, inspect output, then scale schedules.

FAQ

Can I run this without URLs? Yes. The default sample mode is designed to succeed without user-supplied URLs, and URL-backed runs can use startUrls when needed.

Can I schedule it? Yes. Use sinceLastRun, watchlistTerms, and optional webhookUrl to turn the actor into a recurring alert or report workflow.

How do I verify value before scaling? Run the recommended first-run input, review the sample output fields, then increase maxItems or schedule recurring runs after the dataset matches your use case.
