They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. - **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use). - **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`. - **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`. - **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`. - **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

Devil Scrapes mark ## Poland KRS Company Registry Scraper **💰 $10.20 / 1 000 results**  ·  pay only for results  ·  no credit card to try *We do the dirty work so your dataset stays clean.* 😈 Look up Polish companies in the official KRS (Krajowy Rejestr Sądowy) registry by KRS number — identity, registered address, legal representatives, PKD business-activity codes, share capital and current status — as clean, flattened JSON/CSV/Excel rows for KYC, AML and B2B lead-gen workflows.
*** ### 🎯 What this scrapes The Polish Ministry of Justice publishes KRS company records through a free, keyless JSON API (api-krs.ms.gov.pl), but each response is a ~50 KB envelope nesting identity, address, representatives, PKD codes and share capital three or four levels deep — exactly the kind of raw government JSON that KYC/AML analysts and B2B lead-gen teams currently have to hand-parse themselves. No visible rival on the Apify Store currently holds a KRS-register listing. This Actor takes a batch of KRS numbers, flattens each one into a single typed row, and lets you pick exactly which sections you need so you never pay transfer for data you didn't ask for. ### 🔥 What we handle for you - 🧊 **Flattens a ~50 KB nested JSON envelope** into one clean row — identity, address, representatives, PKD codes, capital and status, picked via a Sections filter so you only pay transfer for what you need. - 🔢 **KRS numbers stay strings, always** — leading zeros never get stripped by a spreadsheet export or an overeager number cast. - 🔁 **Retries transient 429/5xx responses** with exponential backoff, honouring Retry-After when the Ministry's API sends one. - 🩹 **Per-item and per-section fault isolation** — one bad KRS number or one missing sub-key logs a warning and moves on; it never crashes the run. - 🧱 **Honest not-found handling** — an unknown KRS number still finishes SUCCEEDED with found: false and a warning, never a crashed run. - 💰 **Pay-Per-Event pricing** — a delivered answer (found or not) still costs you $0.01; invalid input costs nothing. ### 💡 Use cases - Run a KYC/AML check on a Polish counterparty by KRS number before onboarding. - Build a Polish B2B prospect list from a batch of KRS registration numbers. - Verify legal representatives and share capital for a due-diligence file. - Screen a supplier or partner list for companies in liquidation or deleted from the register. ### ⚙️ How to use it 1.

No subscription, no minimum, no card to start — Apify gives every new account $5 of free credit. ### 🚧 Limitations - No keyless name/NIP/REGON search — v1 takes a list of KRS numbers only; the Ministry's public API has no such search endpoint. - Only OdpisAktualny (current-state extract) is queried — historical change history (OdpisPelny) is out of scope for v1. - rejestr=S (associations) may have minor structural differences from rejestr=P; any section that fails to parse degrades to a warning rather than crashing the row. ### ❓ FAQ **Do I need an API key?** No. api-krs.ms.gov.pl is a public Polish Ministry of Justice API and needs no credentials — leave the proxy setting off too. **What happens if a KRS number doesn't exist?** The row comes back with found: false and a warning describing what was queried — the run still finishes SUCCEEDED, you're never billed for a failed run just because one number was wrong. **Can I search by company name or NIP instead of a KRS number?** Not in v1 — the Ministry doesn't publish a keyless name/NIP/REGON search endpoint, so this Actor takes a list of KRS numbers. Look up the KRS number first on the official ekrs.ms.gov.pl portal if you only have a name or NIP. **Why do some fields come back null?** Each row only includes the sections you request in Sections to include; anything you didn't request comes back null or an empty list, which keeps rows lean and your transfer cost low. ### 💬 Your feedback Spotted a bug, hit a weird edge case, or need a new field?

# Actor input Schema ## `krsNumbers` (type: `array`): Polish KRS (Krajowy Rejestr Sądowy) registration numbers to look up, e.g. 0000006865 or 6865 (auto zero-padded to 10 digits, leading zeros preserved). 1-200 per run. ## `registryType` (type: `string`): Which KRS sub-register to query. ## `sections` (type: `array`): Which flattened sections to project per row — the fewer you request, the leaner (and cheaper to transfer) each row is. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): api-krs.ms.gov.pl is a public keyless government JSON API with no anti-bot observed — leave this off unless your account requires egress through Apify Proxy. ## Actor input object example ```json { "krsNumbers": [ "0000006865", "0000123456", "9999999999" ], "registryType": "P", "sections": [ "identity", "address", "representatives", "pkd", "capital", "status" ], "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `datasetItems` (type: `string`): All dataset items as JSON. ## `datasetItemsCsv` (type: `string`): Same data exported to CSV. ## `datasetView` (type: `string`): Open the run dataset in the Console. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
