You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events. Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

It has two run modes. 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. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## 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. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ## Finland New Company Alerts by Industry and Region **Get every company newly registered in Finland's trade register for an industry code and city, as it appears.** Search the official PRH (Finnish Patent and Registration Office) open register for companies entered in the last 1 to 31 days. Turn on monitoring mode and run it on a schedule to get only the companies that are new since your last run, charged per company and free on a quiet day. **Who uses it:** B2B sales teams opening the Finnish market, accountants and banks looking for new clients, suppliers selling to start-ups (software, construction, restaurants), and compliance teams watching new registrations. **Private individuals are never returned.** Sole traders (company form 26, yksityinen elinkeinonharjoittaja) carry the owner's own name, so they are dropped before anything is counted or charged, and the `c/o` address line is never output. You get limited companies, partnerships, cooperatives and other legal entities. **Related actors:** to look up one known business ID use [PRH Company Lookup](https://apify.com/accountable_eel/prh-company-lookup). For the Norwegian and UK equivalents see [Norway New Company Alerts](https://apify.com/accountable_eel/norway-company-incorporation-alert) and [UK Company Incorporation Alerts by SIC Code](https://apify.com/accountable_eel/uk-company-incorporation-alert). ### How to use 1. **In the Apify Console.** Open the actor page and click **Start** — the `industryCodes` field is already pre-filled with a working example. Results land in the run's dataset as soon as each item is found. 2. **Via the API.** Call it directly with a POST request — no Console needed once you have an API token: ```bash curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/accountable_eel~finland-company-incorporation-alert/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=" \ -X POST \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"industryCodes":[""]}' ``` 3. **On a schedule.** Save this actor as an Apify **Task** with the input you want, then add a **Schedule** (hourly, daily, weekly) so it runs on its own — no server of your own required. ### Input ```json { "industryCodes": [] } ``` One industry code or prefix per line, e.g. 62 (software and IT), 43 (construction) or 56 (restaurants). Matched against the company's registered main line of business (5-digit TOL 2008, the Finnish NACE). Leave empty for every industry. Accepted formats: 62, 43, 56. One combined search runs per call. The register is asked one calendar day at a time, newest day first, and the run stops as soon as `maxResults` is reached. Industry codes are 5-digit TOL 2008 codes (the Finnish NACE) and are prefix-matched (`62` is every software and IT company, `70200` only management consultancy). Regions match the Finnish city name of the registered address or a 3-digit municipality code (`091` is Helsinki). Industry, region and name filters apply before anything is counted, remembered or charged. A new company often has no industry code yet; those rows show `industryCode: null` and are only returned when you set no industry filter. The PRH open API is slow: about a minute for a day with around 70 registrations. A short window with a small `maxResults` finishes fast; a month-long window takes many minutes. ### Output One row per company: business ID (Y-tunnus), name, legal form, the date it entered the register and the date its business ID was issued, industry code and description, street, postal code, city, municipality code, and the register record URL. Missing values are `null`, never `0` or an empty string. Example: | query | found | status | searchSummary | companyCount | truncated | monitorStatus | companies | businessId | companyName | legalForm | legalFormName | registeredOn | businessIdIssuedOn | industryCode | industryDescription | street | postalCode | city | municipalityCode | companyUrl | isNew | firstSeenAt | scrapedAt | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | example | true | OK | | | | | \ | \ | | | | | | \ | | | | | | | \ | | 1970-01-01T00:00:00.000Z | A search with no match comes back as a row with `"found": false` and is never charged. ### Pricing Pay-per-event. A flat per-run fee covers session/proxy warmup; you're billed per item only when data is actually found and returned — see `.actor/pay_per_event.json` for exact prices. A miss is never charged. Price: $3 per 1,000 companies at the entry tier, lower on higher Apify plans. ### Example runs Paste any of these into the Input tab and press Start. All three return rows with no key, no token and no account of your own beyond an Apify login. **The newest 20 registrations, any industry.** The default shape, and the quickest. ```json { "sinceDays": 3, "maxResults": 20 } ``` **New software and IT companies in Helsinki, last 7 days.** ```json { "industryCodes": ["62"], "regions": ["HELSINKI"], "sinceDays": 7 } ``` **Monitor new construction and restaurant companies, run daily.** ```json { "industryCodes": ["43", "56"], "sinceDays": 2, "onlyNewSinceLastRun": true } ``` ### Use it from Clay, n8n, Make, or an AI agent This actor runs synchronously over plain HTTP — call it directly from a script, a workflow tool, or an AI agent, no Apify Console needed once you have an API token. ```bash curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/accountable_eel~finland-company-incorporation-alert/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=" \ -X POST \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"industryCodes":[""]}' ``` **n8n.** Add an HTTP Request node: Method `POST`, URL `https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/accountable_eel~finland-company-incorporation-alert/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=`, Body Content Type `JSON`, JSON Body `{"industryCodes":[""]}` (swap in an expression from an earlier node for a real value). **Clay.** Add an "HTTP API" column: Method `POST`, URL `https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/accountable_eel~finland-company-incorporation-alert/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=`, Body `{"industryCodes":["{{search}}"]}`, mapping the row's search into the `industryCodes` array. **MCP.** In Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client with the Apify MCP server, ask for "new Finnish companies by industry code" — the agent will find and run this actor. # Actor input Schema ## `industryCodes` (type: `array`): One industry code or prefix per line, e.g. 62 (software and IT), 43 (construction) or 56 (restaurants). Matched against the company's registered main line of business (5-digit TOL 2008, the Finnish NACE). Leave empty for every industry. Accepted formats: 62, 43, 56. You're only charged for the ones we actually find — a miss costs nothing. ## `regions` (type: `array`): Optional. e.g. "HELSINKI", "TAMPERE" or "091" (Helsinki municipality code). A name must match the Finnish city name of the registered address exactly (any case). Applied after fetching. ## `testRun` (type: `boolean`): Turn this on to test your input on a small sample before running the full list. Turn it off to process everything. ## `onlyFound` (type: `boolean`): Only keep rows where something was actually found. Misses are always free, whether or not you show them here. ## `includeKeywords` (type: `array`): Optional. Only keep results that mention at least one of these words (e.g. a job title, a city, a product name). Leave empty to keep everything. ## `excludeKeywords` (type: `array`): Optional. Drop any result that mentions one of these words. Leave empty to skip nothing. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Up to 1,000. Caps how many companies you get (and pay for) in one run. Newest days are fetched first, so a small cap finishes fast. ## `sinceDays` (type: `integer`): 1 to 31. Companies entered in the register in the last N days. The PRH API is slow (about a minute per day with registrations), so wide windows take minutes; set maxResults to stop early. ## `companyNameIncludes` (type: `string`): Optional. Only companies whose name contains this text. ## `onlyNewSinceLastRun` (type: `boolean`): On: only business IDs not seen on your last run are returned and charged for - run this on a schedule as a new-company alert. Off: every matching company is returned every time. ## `deltaName` (type: `string`): Optional. Name this search's monitoring memory so you can tell two schedules of this actor apart, or keep one memory across an input change. Leave empty to auto-derive one from your industry codes, regions and name filter. ## `columns` (type: `array`): Choose which pieces of information to include in each result row. All are included by default. ## `expandRows` (type: `boolean`): When on, each company found gets its own row instead of being grouped under its search. You're still only charged once per search, no matter how many rows it produces. ## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`): Parallel requests. Keep conservative — this target has no browser fallback, so getting blocked costs more than slow-and-steady. ## Actor input object example ```json { "industryCodes": [], "regions": [], "testRun": false, "onlyFound": false, "includeKeywords": [], "excludeKeywords": [], "maxResults": 10, "sinceDays": 2, "companyNameIncludes": "", "onlyNewSinceLastRun": false, "deltaName": "", "columns": [ "searchSummary", "companyCount", "truncated", "monitorStatus", "companies", "businessId", "companyName", "legalForm", "legalFormName", "registeredOn", "businessIdIssuedOn", "industryCode", "industryDescription", "street", "postalCode", "city", "municipalityCode", "companyUrl", "isNew", "firstSeenAt" ], "expandRows": true, "maxConcurrency": 1 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "industryCodes": [], "regions": [], "includeKeywords": [], "excludeKeywords": [], "maxResults": 10, "sinceDays": 2 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("accountable_eel/finland-company-incorporation-alert").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?

Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer ` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations). ## OpenAPI specification Download the OpenAPI definition: https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/wednTp4gch3yAIh3s/builds/nDGGGyoztAuxTTD2S/openapi.json
