FAQ

Do I need an API key or account? No. The actor reads the official public RNPC / Registo Comercial (via VIES); just run it.

How fresh is the data? It is fetched live from the registry at run time, so it reflects the current public record.

Can I look a company up by its NIF? Yes — set mode: lookup and pass the NIF in query (or a list in queries).

Is this legal? It reads only public official-registry information and degrades gracefully (no result rather than an error) when the source is unavailable.

How am I charged? Pay-per-event, per resolved query — one search (which can return many enriched rows) or one lookup. not_found / no_results are not charged.
