📥 Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
search_type	string	✅	Either "rut" or "name". Determines which endpoint to use.
search_terms	array	✅	List of RUTs or Names to look up.

Example

  "search_type": "rut",
  "search_terms": [
    "20.217.007-2",

Partial RUT wildcard search

You can also submit a partial RUT prefix and the actor will return all matches that start with those digits. For example, searching for "20.217" will retrieve every record whose RUT begins with 20.217.

  "search_terms": [
    "20.217"
  ]
}
