Company Registry & Filings Aggregator

Collect normalized, entity-level company registry and public filing data from official APIs. This Actor is designed for KYC checks, supplier due diligence, market research, finance research, compliance workflows, and business intelligence pipelines that need company facts without collecting personal contact data.

The default source is US SEC EDGAR, which works without an API key. UK Companies House is also supported when you provide your free Companies House API key.

Supported Sources

Source	Coverage	API key required	What it returns
US SEC EDGAR	US public companies	No	Company identity, CIK, tickers, exchanges, SIC data, fiscal year end, and recent filings.
UK Companies House	UK registered companies	Yes	Company profile, status, type, jurisdiction, registered office, accounts dates, confirmation statement dates, and filing history.

This Actor uses official JSON APIs only. It does not use browser scraping, and it does not call Companies House officers or persons-with-significant-control endpoints.

What It Extracts

• Source and search query
• Company number or SEC CIK
• Company name, status, type, jurisdiction, incorporation date
• SIC codes and descriptions where available
• Registered office address for Companies House records
• Tickers, exchanges, state of incorporation, fiscal year end for SEC records
• UK accounts and confirmation statement dates where available
• Recent filing metadata and document URLs
• Source URL, attribution, and scrape timestamp

SEC ownership-oriented forms (3, 4, 5, 144, Schedule 13D/G, and amendments) are excluded from recentFilings to keep output focused on company/entity-level filings.

Use Cases

• KYC checks and entity verification
• Supplier and customer due diligence
• Public-company filing monitoring
• Market research and company list enrichment
• Finance, compliance, and business intelligence workflows
• CRM enrichment with official company identifiers and source URLs

Pricing

This Actor uses pay per event pricing.

Event	When charged	Price
company-record-scraped	Each clean company/entity record saved to the dataset	$0.004

Each unique company record is saved and charged atomically. Empty searches and failed records are not billed, and later sources stop when the user's spending limit is reached.

Tips For Better Results

• Start with SEC EDGAR because it does not require an API key.
• Use exact tickers such as MSFT or direct CIKs when you want precise SEC records.
• Use direct Companies House company numbers when you need exact UK entities.
• Replace the default SEC User-Agent contact email before production or scheduled use.
• Keep maxResults small for first runs, then increase it after checking the output.

Known Limits

• UK Companies House requires companiesHouseApiKey or the COMPANIES_HOUSE_API_KEY environment variable.
• SEC company search uses the SEC ticker/company index, so private companies without SEC records will not appear.
• Recent filings are capped to the latest 10 filing records per company.
• SEC ownership-oriented forms and Companies House officer/PSC data are intentionally excluded.
