Lithuanian Company Register Scraper

Each row is one Lithuanian legal entity from the Register of Legal Entities (JAR): name, legal form, registration date and any legal status such as liquidation or bankruptcy, joined with the VAT number and its dates from the State Tax Inspectorate (VMI), the tax arrears VMI publishes, and a VIES check. Enter 9-digit legal entity codes and click Start. The open register data has no addresses, so address is usually empty. It costs $2.00 per 1,000 company records on the Free plan ($1.00 on Business), and the $5 of monthly credit in Apify's Free plan covers about 2,500 company records. The tax register, the arrears list and VIES add $0.001 each when they answer.

How to check Lithuanian companies

1. In Companies to check, enter a JSON list of legal entity codes ("121215434"), or objects such as {"code": "123033512", "reference": "supplier-42"} to get your own ID back.
2. Keep Check tax debts on to look every entity that still exists up in the VMI arrears list.
3. Leave Confirm VAT numbers in EU VIES on to check every VAT number that has not been canceled.
4. Click Start. Rows appear in the Output tab as each code is finished; export them as CSV, Excel or JSON, or send the same input through the API:

{
  "companies": ["121215434", { "code": "123033512", "reference": "supplier-42" }],
  "checkTaxDebts": true,
  "includeVies": true
}

How much does it cost to check Lithuanian companies?

	Free plan	Starter	Scale	Business
1,000 company records	$2.00	$1.60	$1.30	$1.00
Extra source, per 1,000	$1.00	$0.80	$0.65	$0.50
Run fee, once per run	$0.001	$0.0008	$0.00065	$0.0005

You pay for the events in the table and nothing else: compute time and proxies are included.

Three extra sources can apply: the VMI taxpayer register when it knows the entity, the arrears list whenever it answered (a result of 0 counts too), and a VIES answer. For 1,000 active VAT payers that is $2.00 for the records and $3.00 for the extra sources on the Free plan, or $1.00 and $1.50 on Business. The run fee applies once per run, when the first entity is found. A code that fails the checksum, a code the register does not know and a code the register did not answer for are not charged.

Limits

• The JAR open data does not publish addresses. address is taken from VIES when it gives one, and a placeholder such as N/A is left out.
• Codes are checked one after another with three or four requests each. In the example run an active company took about 8 seconds, so a list of 1,000 takes more than two hours.
• The arrears check is skipped for deregistered entities, and VIES is skipped for canceled VAT registrations.
• taxDebtEur is the whole arrears amount. A risk flag appears only when part of it is overdue.
• If the register's list of legal statuses cannot be loaded at the start, the run stops with an error, because companies would otherwise come back without their status.

Legal status and deregistered entities

The legal status is the part the tax register does not show. JAR records when an entity is being liquidated, is bankrupt or is under restructuring, and it keeps deregistered entities together with the date of deregistration. A status that mentions bankruptcy, liquidation or restructuring becomes a risk flag that asks you to verify before invoicing or paying, and any other recorded status is listed for information. In the same run as the example, code 110000291 came back with legalStatus Išregistruotas (Removed), companyActive: false and a deregistration date in 2002.

Following a list of counterparties

With a Watch name set, or a saved task running on a schedule, each run writes to its CHANGES record what differs from the previous run of the same name: a new legal status, a deregistration, a canceled VAT registration, arrears that appeared or were paid. No extra charge applies to the comparison.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape the Lithuanian Register of Legal Entities?

The Centre of Registers and the State Tax Inspectorate publish these datasets on the national open data portal, get.data.gov.lt, for anyone to use, and VIES is the European Commission's public VAT check. The actor asks those services about one code at a time and reads nothing else. How you use the results is your responsibility.

Does a zero debt mean the company was checked?

Yes. The arrears list holds only debtors, so an entity that is not on it gets taxDebtEur: 0. A null means the check was switched off, the entity is deregistered or VMI did not answer.
