⚠️ Data coverage and indexing

The actor is backed by a continuously updated index. When a record is not yet present, the request is enqueued for high-priority background sync rather than returned as a failure. Supply a user_email in the input and you'll receive an automated notification once the sync completes — whether or not a result was ultimately found.

Retrieval is subject to upstream source availability. A successful sync is not guaranteed for every query.

Frequently asked questions

¿Qué es el RUT en Chile? / What is a RUT in Chile?
A RUT (Rol Único Tributario) is Chile's universal national identification number, used for both tax and civil identity purposes. Every natural person and legal entity in Chile has a unique RUT. Es el equivalente al DNI o CURP en otros países de habla hispana.

¿Qué es un Rutificador? / What is a Rutificador?
A Rutificador is a public search engine that maps Chilean RUT numbers to personal information (name, address, commune) sourced from publicly available civil registries. Permite buscar el nombre de una persona a partir de su RUT, o el RUT a partir de su nombre.

¿Es legal usar esta API de Rutificador? / Is this Rutificador API legal to use?
This actor queries information that is publicly available in Chilean open registries. Users are responsible for complying with their local data-protection regulations (e.g., Chile's Law 19,628 on personal data protection) and Apify's terms of service.

¿Cuántos RUTs puedo consultar por ejecución? / How many RUTs can I look up per run?
Free users: 1 RUT per run. Pro users: unlimited, processed in high-concurrency batches.

¿Qué pasa si el RUT no se encuentra? / What happens if a RUT is not found?
The record is queued for background sync. If you provided a user_email, you'll receive a notification when the sync finishes.

¿Funciona con RUTs parciales o mal formateados? / Does this actor work with partial or malformed RUTs?
Yes — you can submit a partial prefix (e.g., "20.217") to retrieve all matching records. The actor normalises common formatting variations automatically (with or without dots, with or without verification digit).

¿Puedo buscar por nombre en vez de RUT? / Can I search by name instead of RUT?
Yes. Set search_type to "name" and provide full or partial names in search_terms. Supports both first-name-only and full-name queries.

¿Cuáles son las alternativas al Rutificador? / What are alternatives to this Rutificador API?
Common alternatives include manual lookups on Nombrerutyfirma.com or Registrocivil.cl, but these don't support bulk queries, automation, or JSON output. This actor is the only production-ready API wrapper with concurrency and background sync.

¿Funciona para empresas (RUT de persona jurídica)? / Does it work for companies?
The actor primarily targets natural-person RUTs. Company RUT lookups depend on upstream source availability.
