What does India MCA Company Scraper do?

India MCA Company Scraper is an India MCA API alternative that turns company identifiers into structured records. Give it Corporate Identification Numbers (CINs), company names or company page URLs and it returns the company master data that the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) publishes: legal name, status, incorporation date, authorised and paid up capital, industry and NIC code, registered address, contact email, website, previous names and the list of current directors with their DIN.

The data is collected from public company pages on instafinancials.com. No login is needed and nothing is read from behind a login. Each record is one company, identified by its CIN, so results from several inputs can be merged without duplicates.

Typical jobs for this Indian company scraper:

1. Build B2B lead lists of Indian companies with email, website and registered address.
2. Run KYC and due-diligence checks: is the company Active, Strike Off or Amalgamated, who are the directors, how much capital is paid up.
3. Support lending and credit research with capital, balance sheet date and compliance flags.

What data can you get from India MCA (MCA company data)?

Every record has the fields below. A field the page does not show is returned as null (or an empty list for previousNames and directors).

How to use India MCA Company Scraper

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console and choose the way you want to look companies up: CINs, company names or company page URLs. You can fill more than one field in the same run.
2. Leave includeDirectors on if you need directors, or switch it off for faster runs that only need master data.
3. Set maxItems to the number of companies you want at most. It is shared across all targets in the run.
4. Start the run. The Actor saves each company as soon as it is read, so you can watch the dataset fill.
5. Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML, or read it through the API.

Tips:

1. A CIN is 21 characters, for example L22210MH1995PLC084781. The first letter shows listed (L) or unlisted (U).
2. Name search returns at most 6 companies per term, matched alphabetically from the start of the name. Use a specific name such as TATA CONSULTANCY, not just TATA.
3. A CIN prefix such as U72200KA2010PTC can be put in companyNames to list companies that share that prefix.
4. The site shows a human-check page when one IP sends many requests quickly. The Actor spaces its requests and never tries to solve that page; if it appears, the Actor waits and retries on another IP.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
cins	array of strings	One of the three target fields	21-character CINs, one per line. A CIN that does not exist is skipped.
companyNames	array of strings	One of the three target fields	Company name search terms or CIN prefixes. Up to 6 matches per term.
startUrls	array of URLs	One of the three target fields	instafinancials.com company page URLs. The CIN is read from the URL.
includeDirectors	boolean	No	Also fetch directors, default true. Costs one extra request per company.
maxItems	integer	No	Maximum companies returned across all targets, 1-10000, default 50.
proxyConfiguration	object	No	Proxy settings. Default: Apify Proxy.
minDelayMs	integer	No	Minimum gap in milliseconds between requests on one IP, default 4000.

{
    "cins": ["L22210MH1995PLC084781", "L85110KA1981PLC013115"],

}

A target that cannot be found (unknown CIN, no name match) does not fail the run. The run ends SUCCEEDED, the status message says which input returned nothing, and a RUN_SUMMARY record in the key-value store lists the inputs that returned no company. Only input that can never work, such as giving no target at all, fails the run.

Output

Real records from a run, shortened to two directors each. A struck-off company is returned just like an active one, with its last known status.

FAQ

Which companies are covered? Companies registered in India that have a CIN, such as public listed, public unlisted, private, one person and struck-off companies. Limited liability partnerships (LLPs) use a different identifier and are not covered.

How fresh is the data? Each record has lastUpdatedAt, the date the source site last synced that company with MCA. Old companies, for example struck-off ones, can have an older date than active listed companies.

Why did my run return 0 results? The status message names the reason. Common causes are a CIN with a typo, a name search with no match, or a human-check page that kept appearing. Check the input, or retry later.

Why does a name search return only a few companies? The source search returns at most 6 matches per term, alphabetically from the start of the name. Use a more specific name, or look the companies up by CIN.

Why are some fields null? Not every company has an email, website or compliance flag on file. The Actor returns null instead of guessing.

Do I need a proxy? Apify Proxy is on by default. Requests are spaced out and retried on a fresh IP if the site shows a human-check page.

Can I get only master data without directors? Yes. Set includeDirectors to false. The directors list is then empty and the run needs half the requests.

Is it legal to scrape India MCA data?

The Actor collects company information that is publicly available on the web without a login. Director names and DIN numbers are personal data in some jurisdictions; you are responsible for using them lawfully, including under data protection law such as the GDPR and India's data protection rules. Check the source site's terms and your own compliance needs. This is not legal advice.
