The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## India Company Registry — MCA Company Master Data Look up any of **4.06 million registered Indian companies** from the official **Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) Company Master Data**, as clean structured JSON. No CAPTCHAs, no PDF scraping — sourced from India's **Open Government Data (OGD) platform** (`data.gov.in`). Built for **KYC / AML, due diligence, B2B lead-generation, and market mapping** on Indian entities. ### What you get per company | Field | Example | |---|---| | `cin` | `L01110TG1994PLC018562` | | `company_name` | `ALKEM LABORATORIES LIMITED` | | `status` | `Active`, `Strike Off`, `Amalgamated`, `Under Liquidation` | | `company_class` | `Private`, `Public` | | `company_category` | `Company limited by Shares` | | `authorized_capital` / `paidup_capital` | numeric (INR) | | `date_of_registration` | `1973-08-08` | | `registered_state` | `Maharashtra` | | `registrar_of_companies` | `RoC-Mumbai` | | `principal_business_activity` | text (where published) | | `registered_office_address` | full address | ### How to query Pass any combination of filters: - **`cin`** — exact Corporate Identification Number → the single company. - **`state`**, **`status`**, **`companyClass`**, **`category`**, **`roc`** — exact-match server-side filters. - **`nameContains`** — case-insensitive name search *within* the filtered set (pair with `state` to keep it fast). - **`maxRecords`** — 1 to 50,000 (default 100). **Example — active software companies in Karnataka:** ```json { "state": "Karnataka", "status": "Active", "nameContains": "software", "maxRecords": 200 } ```` **Example — one company by CIN:** ```json { "cin": "L01110TG1994PLC018562" } ``` ### API key (optional) Runs out-of-the-box on a shared public key (fine for small pulls). For volume, drop in your own **free** `data.gov.in` API key via `apiKey` for higher rate limits. ### Honest data note This is the official MCA registry **master snapshot** published on OGD, refreshed periodically by the ministry (not real-time intraday status). It is ideal for verifying company existence, ownership footprint, capital, registration vintage, and jurisdiction — the backbone of a due-diligence or lead-gen workflow. A handful of records carry MCA's own source quirks (e.g. occasional data-entry dates, `F`-prefixed foreign-company codes); these are passed through faithfully rather than silently altered. Data © Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India, via the Open Government Data (OGD) Platform. Redistributed under the OGD India use terms. # Actor input Schema ## `nameContains` (type: `string`): Return only companies whose name contains this text (case-insensitive). Applied within the filtered set — pair it with a State/Class filter to keep it fast, since it scans the matched pool. ## `cin` (type: `string`): Corporate Identification Number — exact match (e.g. L01110TG1994PLC018562). Returns that single company. ## `state` (type: `string`): Filter by registered state, e.g. 'Karnataka', 'Maharashtra', 'Delhi'. Exact match on the MCA field. ## `status` (type: `string`): Filter by MCA company status, e.g. 'Active', 'Strike Off', 'Under Liquidation', 'Amalgamated'. Exact match. ## `companyClass` (type: `string`): Filter by class, e.g. 'Private', 'Public'. Exact match. ## `category` (type: `string`): Filter by category, e.g. 'Company limited by Shares'. Exact match. ## `roc` (type: `string`): Filter by RoC office, e.g. 'RoC-Hyderabad', 'RoC-Mumbai'. Exact match. ## `maxRecords` (type: `integer`): Maximum company records to return (1 to 50000). Default 100. ## `apiKey` (type: `string`): Your own free data.gov.in API key for higher rate limits. Leave empty to use the shared public sample key (fine for small pulls; register at data.gov.in for volume). ## Actor input object example ```json { "maxRecords": 100 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("civicdataforge/india-company-registry").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
