Corporate.AI Company Registry Scraper

Search Corporate.AI's public US company registry and turn company matches into structured, export-ready records.

Use a company name, keyword, or saved Corporate.AI search URL. Add state, entity-type, and status filters. Optionally enrich each match with jurisdiction, filing type, and public address details.

The Actor is designed for repeatable KYB research, compliance screening, B2B enrichment, legal research, and registry monitoring—not one-off copy and paste.

What does Corporate.AI Company Registry Scraper do?

It automates the public company-search workflow on Corporate.AI.

• 🔎 Searches by company name or keyword
• 🎯 Applies state, entity-type, and status filters
• 📄 Follows bounded result pagination
• 🏢 Enriches public entity detail pages
• 🧹 Removes duplicate companies
• 🔗 Preserves canonical source URLs
• 🕐 Adds a scrape timestamp to every row
• 📦 Exports JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, and RSS through Apify datasets

Search records remain useful even when an optional detail page has sparse fields.

Officer and registered-agent fields are nullable because they are not present for every source record.

Who is it for?

KYB and compliance teams

Build a first-pass registry dataset before enhanced due diligence.

Use filing numbers and source URLs to retain an auditable trail.

B2B sales and enrichment teams

Discover companies matching a brand, industry keyword, or naming pattern.

Schedule the same query to refresh prospect lists.

Legal and investigative researchers

Compare legal names, jurisdictions, statuses, formation dates, and filing identifiers.

Open the canonical source URL when a record needs manual verification.

Journalists and analysts

Collect structured company matches for research notebooks, spreadsheets, and reproducible investigations.

Why use this Actor?

Manual registry research is slow and difficult to repeat consistently.

This Actor provides:

• predictable JSON fields
• automatic pagination
• deterministic deduplication
• optional detail enrichment
• configurable extraction limits
• retries and request timeouts
• integrations with the Apify API, webhooks, schedules, and cloud storage

No Corporate.AI account or paid API key is required for the public surfaces used by this Actor.

How much does it cost to scrape company registry records?

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing.

You pay a small run-start fee and a per-company-record fee.

Apify plan tiers receive progressively lower per-record prices. The live pricing table on the Actor page is authoritative.

To control cost:

• set a low maxItems for initial tests
• disable details when search-level fields are enough
• avoid overlapping queries
• use state and status filters
• review a small dataset before scaling

The Actor stops once it reaches your maximum.

Pagination and limits

Corporate.AI search results are fetched with offset pagination.

The Actor stops when:

• maxItems is reached
• the source returns no records
• the source reports hasMore=false

maxItems applies across all queries, not separately to each query.

Detail enrichment

When includeDetails is enabled, each company page may add:

• jurisdiction
• filing type
• principal address
• mailing address

The source may omit fields for some companies or states.

A failed optional detail request does not discard a valid search record.

Data quality and coverage

Corporate.AI describes its registry as a US company dataset sourced from state filings.

Coverage and freshness can vary by state and record.

This Actor reports what the public source returns at run time. It does not make a blanket guarantee about all 50 states, officer availability, or official legal completeness.

For consequential decisions, verify the record using its source URL and the relevant Secretary of State.

Tips for reliable company searches

• Start with the distinctive part of a legal name.
• Use uppercase or lowercase; the source handles text matching.
• Add a state when a name is common.
• Use multiple focused queries instead of one overly broad keyword.
• Keep concurrency conservative for stable scheduled runs.
• Store filing number plus state as a durable external key.
• Retain scrapedAt when comparing changes over time.

Scheduling a registry monitor

Use an Apify schedule to repeat the same input daily, weekly, or monthly.

A common workflow is:

1. Run a focused company search.
2. Export filing number, status, and source URL.
3. Compare the latest dataset with the previous dataset.
4. Notify your team when new entities or status changes appear.

Connect a webhook to trigger downstream automation after each successful run.

Integrations

Use with the Apify API

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('automation-lab/corporate-ai-company-registry-scraper').call({
  queries: ['APPLE'],
  state: 'CA',
  includeDetails: true,
  maxItems: 20,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient
import os

client = ApifyClient(os.environ['APIFY_TOKEN'])
run = client.actor('automation-lab/corporate-ai-company-registry-scraper').call(run_input={
    'queries': ['APPLE'],
    'state': 'CA',
    'includeDetails': True,
    'maxItems': 20,
})
items = client.dataset(run['defaultDatasetId']).list_items().items
print(items)

cURL

curl -X POST \
  "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/automation-lab~corporate-ai-company-registry-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"queries":["APPLE"],"state":"CA","includeDetails":true,"maxItems":20}'

Use with MCP and AI agents

Connect through Apify MCP.

Claude Code setup

Add the hosted MCP server with the exact command below:

$claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=automation-lab/corporate-ai-company-registry-scraper"

Then authenticate when prompted and ask Claude to run the Actor with a bounded input.

Example prompt:

Search Corporate.AI for active New York companies matching ZEBRA, enrich the first 20 records, and summarize entity types.

Claude Desktop setup

Add this server block to the Claude Desktop MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=automation-lab/corporate-ai-company-registry-scraper"
    }
  }
}

Cursor setup

Open Cursor Settings → MCP, add a remote server, and use the same mcpServers JSON block and URL shown above.

VS Code setup

Open the MCP configuration in VS Code, add an HTTP server named apify, and use the same Corporate.AI Actor tool URL shown above.

Example prompt for Desktop, Cursor, or VS Code:

Build a CSV-ready list of active NY LLCs matching HOLDINGS with filing numbers and source links.

Always specify a maxItems limit in agent-driven workflows.

Error handling

Search requests use timeouts, retries, and exponential backoff.

Unexpected search response shapes fail the run instead of returning misleading success.

Invalid start URL hosts or paths fail closed.

Individual detail failures are logged, while valid search records remain available with nullable detail fields.

Troubleshooting

Why did my query return no companies?

Try a broader name fragment, remove optional filters, or verify the query directly on Corporate.AI.

Why are address or officer fields null?

Public detail coverage differs by record and state. Officer and agent data are intentionally nullable rather than fabricated.

Why did a search URL fail validation?

Only public https://corporate.ai/search?... URLs are accepted. Entity URLs and third-party URLs are outside this input route.

Why did I receive fewer records than maxItems?

maxItems is a ceiling, not a promise. The source may have fewer matching records after filters.

Legal and responsible use

This Actor accesses publicly reachable registry search and entity pages.

You are responsible for your use of the data and for complying with applicable laws, source terms, privacy rules, and contractual obligations.

Do not use registry data for harassment, discrimination, spam, or unsupported automated decisions.

Public registry information is not legal advice. Verify consequential facts with the official state registry.

FAQ

Does the Actor require a Corporate.AI API key?

No. It uses the anonymous public search endpoint and public entity pages.

Can I search several company names in one run?

Yes. Add multiple values to queries; the global maxItems covers the whole run.

Can I use a saved search URL?

Yes. Add a Corporate.AI /search URL to startUrls.

Are duplicate companies removed?

Yes. The Actor deduplicates by source ID, with state plus filing number as the conceptual fallback.

Does it return every officer and registered agent?

No. Those fields remain null where Corporate.AI does not expose them.

Can I export to Excel or CSV?

Yes. Open the dataset and choose the desired export format.

Can I run it on a schedule?

Yes. Use Apify schedules and optionally attach a webhook.

Is this an official government registry?

No. Corporate.AI is the public source surface. Follow the canonical links and official state sources for final verification.
