## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## EU Company Registry Search

Search official company registers of France, Norway, Czechia and Finland by name and get one unified record: registry ID, status, legal form, industry code, address, founding date and, for France, officers. Built for KYC, supplier checks and B2B lead enrichment.

### What does EU Company Registry Search do?

- France (SIRENE), Norway (Bronnoysund), Czechia (ARES) and Finland (PRH) in one run
- Same output fields for every country
- Active-only filter to skip dissolved or bankrupt entities
- VAT numbers where the registry provides them

### How to use it

1. Click **Try for free** and open the **Input** tab.
2. Fill in the fields below, or keep the defaults for a quick test.
3. Press **Start**. Results appear in the **Output** tab within seconds to a few minutes.
4. Download as JSON, CSV or Excel, or call the actor from the API, a schedule, Make, Zapier or an AI agent through the Apify MCP server.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `companyNames` | array | Company names to search, one per line. |
| `countries` | array | Registries to query. |
| `maxResultsPerCountry` | integer | Cap per company name and country. |
| `onlyActive` | boolean | Skip dissolved or bankrupt entities. |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "companyNames": [
    "Spotify",
    "Equinor"
  ],
  "countries": [
    "fr",
    "no",
    "cz",
    "fi"
  ],
  "maxResultsPerCountry": 5,
  "onlyActive": true
}
```

### Output

Each result is a flat JSON object that you can open in the **Output** tab, export to CSV or Excel, or read through the API. See the dataset views for the main columns.

### How much does it cost to use EU Company Registry Search?

Pricing is pay per event: **$0.004 per company**. You pay only for results saved to the dataset, plus nothing extra for platform usage on the free plan limits. Apify's free monthly credit lets you test it before paying.

### FAQ

**Which countries are supported?**  France, Norway, Czechia and Finland, all from keyless official sources. More can be added on request.

**Do I get officers?**  Only France exposes officers in its search API; other countries return null.

**How many results per name?**  You set a cap per country, up to 100.

### Is it legal?

The actor reads public, open-licence or government data only and does not collect private information. You are responsible for using the results in line with the source's terms and applicable laws.

### Use it with AI agents (MCP)

This actor is agent-ready: it is a plain tool with a documented JSON input and a flat JSON output, so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other agents can call it through the [Apify MCP server](https://mcp.apify.com).

Add it to an MCP client with this URL (Apify account or agentic payment required):

```
https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=flyingnimbus/eu-company-registry-search
```

Example prompt: "Use the EU Company Registry Search tool with the example input below and summarise the results."

Calls are pay per event ($0.004 per company), so an agent can estimate the cost before it runs. Empty or failed lookups return a status record instead of failing the run.

## CLI example

    "Equinor"
  ],
  "maxResultsPerCountry": 5,
  "onlyActive": true
}' |
apify call flyingnimbus/eu-company-registry-search --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,flyingnimbus/eu-company-registry-search"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
