## Pricing

Pay per usage

This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. 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

## Norway Company Registry — Every Registered Entity

Search Norway's Brønnøysund Register and get flat rows — organisation number, name, legal form, industry
code, address, website and status. **1.18 million entities**, free and key-less.

### What you get

`name`, `legalForm`, `legalFormName`, `registeredAt`, `foundedAt`, `industryCode`, `industryName`,
`employees`, `street`, `postcode`, `city`, `country`, `website`, `email`, `phone`, `isBankrupt`,
`isBeingWoundUp`, `isInGroup`, `registerUrl`, `id`.

### Sample output

```json
{ "name": "EQUINOR ASA", "legalForm": "ASA", "legalFormName": "Allmennaksjeselskap",
  "industryCode": "06.100", "industryName": "Utvinning av råolje",
  "city": "STAVANGER", "employees": 21231, "isInGroup": true }
```

### Limitations — read before buying

- **The register is in Norwegian.** Field names are mapped to English, but `legalFormName` and
  `industryName` come back in Norwegian and are **not translated** — translating them would be inventing
  data.
- **`country` is `"Norge"`, not `"NO"`.** The API returns the Norwegian name for its own country.
- **`employees` is only present when the entity registered a headcount** (`harRegistrertAntallAnsatte`).
  It is absent, not zero, for most small entities.
- **`email` and `phone` are the entity's own registered contact details**, and many are empty.
- **`isBankrupt` / `isBeingWoundUp` are booleans the register maintains.** A `false` means "not flagged",
  which is not the same as "verified healthy".
- **Only the FIRST registered address is mapped** — a company with several returns the business address.
- Paging is by 0-based page number, and a blank `name` walks the entire register in registry order.

### Pricing

Pay per result.

# 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("alaudinburki/brreg-companies").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);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("alaudinburki/brreg-companies").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call alaudinburki/brreg-companies --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,alaudinburki/brreg-companies"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
