Country Risk Profiler Scraper

Scrape country risk data from WHO Disease Outbreak News, OFAC SDN, and EU sanctions lists. Get structured records on disease outbreaks, sanctioned entities, and regulatory actions, with filtering by country or keyword. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Monitoring country risk across health, financial, and regulatory domains usually means checking three separate official sources manually. This Actor queries WHO Disease Outbreak News, the OFAC SDN list, and the EU Consolidated Sanctions List in one run, filters by country or keyword, and returns each record in a consistent schema.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check your 'Country name' filter. It may be too specific or misspelled. Try removing the filter or using a broader keyword. Also ensure at least one source is selected.

Why is the run slow?

The Actor queries multiple sources, which can take time. Reduce the 'Maximum records' or select fewer sources to speed up the run.

Why do I see duplicate records?

The same entity may appear in multiple sources (e.g., a person on both OFAC and EU lists). The Actor does not deduplicate across sources. Use a post-processing step to remove duplicates if needed.

Why is a field empty in some records?

Different sources provide different fields. For example, WHO records may not have sanction-specific fields. Empty fields are normal and indicate the data is not available for that source.
