UK GDPR and personal data

By default this Actor outputs company-level data only. Officer names are added only if you switch on Include current officer names (and give an API key); people with significant control (PSC) are never output. Many new companies use a director's home as their registered office, so treat addresses with care. If you use this data for marketing, you are responsible for complying with UK GDPR and PECR (for example, legitimate interests assessment and opt-out handling).

Pricing

Pay per result: $2 per 1,000 companies ($0.002 per row in the dataset), plus a tiny $0.00005 per run start. No subscription and no extra charge for filters, alerts mode or officer names. Set a maximum cost per run in Apify and the Actor stops cleanly when it is reached, keeping everything it has already returned.

FAQ

Do I need a Companies House API key? No. Without a key the Actor uses Companies House's own advanced search CSV download. A free key adds officer names and more structured addresses. How fresh is the data? Companies appear on the day they are incorporated.
