## Pricing

## 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 New Companies & Insolvency Monitor (Brønnøysund, MCP)

> The official **Brønnøysundregistrene (Enhetsregisteret)** feed: every new Norwegian company — plus the moment one enters **bankruptcy or liquidation**. New-company leads with legal form, industry, share capital, audit-exempt flag, VAT flag, municipality & address. **Monitor mode = "180 fresh AS/ENK created today" + insolvency radar, daily.** Official API. No key. MCP-ready.

### ✨ Why this wins where ChatGPT can't

| Ingredient | Here |
|---|---|
| 🔒 **Hard-to-get, realtime** | Norway's central company register queried by **registration date** — a dataset that changes every weekday *(771 new entities in 3 days, verified)*. |
| 🛠️ **Hardest problems, solved** | Server-side date window + per-1000 paging + insolvency flag handling; client refinement: multi legal forms, industry prefix, employees, keywords. |
| ⚙️ **Automation = money** | `monitor` + daily schedule = **warm-lead inbox** (new companies need websites, accounting, insurance, banking — call them day one) **+ konkurs radar** (creditors & law firms pay for that signal). |
| 🧠 **AI-agent cheap** | $0.001 start + $0.001/company. A daily nationwide digest = pennies a month. |
| 🌍 **Scandinavia = riches market** | Norway's B2B spend per capita is Europe's highest — and there's **no brand-name on Apify covering this register with a monitor**. |

> 💡 **Two charged-event states by design**: KV key = `orgnr|konkurs|avvikling|twangs` — first time we see the company (birth) **and** the moment an existing entity flips an insolvency flag → new alert, new charged row.

***

### 🚀 3 recipes that pay

#### #1 — Warm-new-lead inbox (web & marketing agencies)

```json
{ "mode": "monitor", "organisasjonsform": "AS", "daysBack": 1 }
```

→ Every newly registered Norwegian AS each morning — name, industry, capital, municipality. Scan, pitch, sign. Repeatability = the whole point.

#### #2 — Creditor & insolvency radar (law firms, factoring)

```json
{ "mode": "monitor", "insolvency": "only-avvikling", "daysBack": 2 }
```

→ Entities entering (forced) liquidation — 8,470 currently in liquidation verified live. Combine with `konkurs` filter for pure bankruptcies.

#### #3 — Industry watch (consultants & VCs)

```json
{ "mode": "search", "industryPrefix": "62", "daysBack": 30, "maxResults": 400 }
```

→ A month of new IT companies (NACE 62) — market-entry and TAM research with the official register.

**MCP**: `https://mcp.apify.com/?actors=amygraphics/norway-companies-monitor` — *"any new construction companies in Oslo this week?"* answered from the official register.

***

### 📦 What each row contains

`companyNumber` (orgnummer) · `name` · `orgFormCode/Name` · **`registrationDateISO` + `foundedDateISO`** · **`konkurs/underAvvikling/twangsavvikling/isInsolvent`** · `naeringskode` + description · `employees` · **`capitalAmount + currency`** · **`auditExempt`** (revisjon-fravalg — accountants love this) · `vatRegistered` · `inForetaksregisteret` · sector · address/postcode/place/**municipality** · `maalform` · previous names · `url` + `apiUrl` (direct register link). Plus `eventKey`, `isNew`/`firstSeenAt`.

### 🆚 Competition

| Actor | Users | Monitor | Insolvency states |
|---|---|---|---|
| brreg-norway-company-scraper | 11 | ❌ | ❌ |
| proff-scandinavia-scraper | 18 | ❌ scraper | ❌ |
| **us** | — | ✅ KV dedupe, daily-ready | ✅ konkurs & avvikling alerts |

***

### 🧪 Input cheat-sheet

| Key | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| `daysBack` / `fromDate` | 7 | registration window |
| `organisasjonsform` | all | AS / ENK / DA / NUF… (server) |
| `navn` | — | name search (server) |
| `insolvency` | all | only-konkurs / only-avvikling / exclude |
| `industryPrefix` | — | NACE prefix client-side |
| `minEmployees`, `keywords` | — | client refinement |

**Fair use** — Enhetsregisteret is Brønnøysund's official open API; we page ≤1,000/register with polite pacing.

# Actor input Schema

## `mode` (type: `string`):

search = window of companies. monitor = only new/changed ones (KV dedupe: new registration OR entering insolvency = new event) — schedule daily.

## `daysBack` (type: `integer`):

Registration-date window ending today (server-side). Ignored if fromDate is set.

## `fromDate` (type: `string`):

Optional explicit registration window start, overrides daysBack.

## `toDate` (type: `string`):

Optional explicit window end (default: today).

## `organisasjonsform` (type: `string`):

AS (aksjeselskap), ENK (sole trader), DA, ANS, NUF (foreign branch), SA, STI, BRL, KF — empty = all.

## `navn` (type: `string`):

Company-name search on the register.

## `insolvency` (type: `string`):

only-konkurs = bankrupt now · only-avvikling = in (forced) liquidation · exclude = healthy only · all = everything.

## `orgForms` (type: `array`):

Keep several legal forms at once (e.g. AS + DA). Empty = all. Overrides nothing; combines fine with the single server filter.

## `industryPrefix` (type: `string`):

First digits of naeringskode (NACE): '41' = construction, '56' = restaurants, '62' = IT, '96' = personal services…

## `minEmployees` (type: `integer`):

Client-side keep only companies with ≥ this registered headcount. 0 = off.

## `keywords` (type: `string`):

Match against name, industry description, place (e.g. 'bygg', 'oslo', 'restaurant').

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many companies.

## `requestDelaySecs` (type: `number`):

Politeness pacing toward the official register.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

NOT needed — official API.

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {

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).
