## 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

## Canada Company Due Diligence Check

Screen a Canadian business against free official public registers in a single run and get a structured risk summary.

### What it checks

- **Corporations Canada** – federal corporations (status, corporation & business number, last annual filing)
- **OrgBook BC** – BC registration status
- **Consolidated Canadian Autonomous Sanctions List** (Global Affairs Canada)
- **CRA List of Charities** – registered charity status
- **City of Vancouver** – business licences and issued building permits (by name or street address)

### Input

```json
{ "name": "Shopify Inc." }
```

Optional: `number` (federal corp no., 9-digit BN, BC id like `BC0943976`, charity BN), `address` (Vancouver street address), or `checks` – a batch list of `{name, number, address}` objects.

### Output (abridged)

```json
{
  "query": {"name": "Shopify Inc.", "number": null, "address": null},
  "risk_level": "low",
  "summary": "Risk: LOW. Federal: SHOPIFY INC. #... (Active). Sanctions: 0 hit(s).",
  "flags": [],
  "matches": {"federal": {...}, "bc": {...}, "sanctions": {...}, "charity": {...}, "vancouver": {...}},
  "checked_at": "2026-10-09T00:00:00+00:00",
  "billed": true
}
```

### Pricing

Pay-per-event: **$0.02 per check**, charged **only when at least one register returns a match**. "Not found" results are free. New Apify users can try it with Apify's free monthly platform credit.

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

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "name": "Shopify Inc."
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("canada-dd/canada-due-diligence").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "name": "Shopify Inc."
}' |
apify call canada-dd/canada-due-diligence --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,canada-dd/canada-due-diligence"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
