# Bulk-check UK companies for filing and overdue signals

**Use case:** 

Screen eight UK companies in one run: overdue accounts and confirmation statements at the data date, insolvency-related status, registered charges, and a name check where you supply the name you hold. Data is the Companies House monthly snapshot (not real-time); every row shows the data date and caveats. Signals only, not a credit rating.

## Input

```json
{
  "companies": [
    {
      "companyNumber": "00445790",
      "companyName": "Tesco PLC"
    },
    {
      "companyNumber": "04256886",
      "companyName": "Marks & Spencer Group plc"
    },
    "01833679",
    "00041424",
    "07524813",
    "03782379",
    "08126173",
    {
      "companyNumber": "00102498",
      "companyName": "BP plc"
    }
  ],
  "maxCompanies": 1000

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [UK Company Registry Status & Filing Signals](https://apify.com/asunoki/uk-company-status-signals.md) with a specific input configuration.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

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 full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/asunoki/uk-company-status-signals.md

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`).
