🇨🇱 Rutificador Actor – Chilean People & RUT Lookup

Discover quick and reliable access to Chilean personal data with Rutificador Actor.
Whether you need to validate a RUT (Rol Único Tributario), find a person’s full name, or enrich customer records, this actor turns the public "Rutificador" search engine (Nombrerutyfirma.com) into a ready-to-use API.

⚠️ Data coverage and indexing (IMPORTANT)

The system is backed by an automated indexing pipeline. When a given record is not present in the current index, the request is not treated as a failure: it is enqueued in a high-priority synchronization queue for background processing. Absent results therefore represent a scheduled update rather than a permanent gap, and the index is continuously extended as sync jobs complete. Please note: not every record submitted to the indexing pipeline will necessarily produce a result; retrieval is subject to upstream source availability and matching logic, so a successful sync is not guaranteed for every request. If you supply an email address in the input (user_email), you will receive an automated Status Update once the background sync for your query has finished (whether or not a result was ultimately found).

✨ What can you get with this actor?

• Search by RUT → retrieve the person’s full name, gender, address, city/commune, and more.
• Search by Name → obtain matching RUT numbers plus the same demographic details.
• Receive the data in clean JSON ready for databases, CRMs, CRMs, spreadsheets, or further analysis.
• Automatically stamped with extraction date & time for easy auditing.

🔍 Typical use cases

1. KYC / Customer onboarding – verify that a provided RUT belongs to a real person.
2. Lead enrichment – append gender or location fields to existing customer lists.
3. Fraud prevention & AML – cross-check identities before allowing high-risk transactions.
4. Data journalism & research – gather statistics about population segments in Chile.
5. Contact data cleaning – spot typos in RUTs or duplicate person records.

🆚 Why choose this actor?

• Dual search mode – supports both RUT → Name and Name → RUT in one tool.
• Proxy rotation – mimics a real local user, drastically reducing blocks.
• High concurrency – built with async HTTP requests to process thousands of queries fast.
• Actively maintained – published & supported by the DataCach team with quick response times.

📥 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.
user_email	string	❌	Optional. If provided, you will receive an automated Status Update once the background sync for your query is completed (when results were initially missing).

Example

{
  "search_type": "rut",
  "search_terms": [
    "20.217.007-2",
    "13.456.789-K"
  ],
  "email_usuario": "optional@example.com"
}

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_type": "rut",
  "search_terms": [
    "20.217"
  ]
}

📤 Output
