Frequently asked questions

Is this Israeli company registry scraper free?

The data source is free and needs no API key — you pay only for the Apify compute the run uses.

Do I need an API key or an account with the registry?

No. The Registrar of Companies publishes the full company file as an open dataset on data.gov.il.

Can I search by company name, or only by Company number?

Both. A nine-digit company number is an exact lookup; anything else runs a full-text search in Hebrew or English.

How current is the data?

Every run queries the source live, so results are as current as the register itself.

Can I export the results to CSV, Excel or JSON?

Yes. Apify datasets export to CSV, Excel, JSON, XML and HTML, and can be pulled through the API or pushed to your own storage.

Can I combine this with other countries in one dataset?

Yes — that is why it exists. Every actor in this series emits the same core schema, so results from different countries concatenate into one table with no remapping.

Is scraping this data legal?

This actor reads a public register that the Israeli authorities publish deliberately for public inspection. Company records are public by design; where a record names a person (a director, owner or partner), that is personal data and your use of it falls under GDPR or the local equivalent — handle it accordingly.

What does the "violating company" flag mean?

isViolatingCompany mirrors the registrar's מפרה marker: the company is in breach of its annual filing duty. Paired with lastAnnualReportYear it is a genuine compliance signal that status: active alone would hide.

Notes and limits

• Source field names are Hebrew; this actor maps them to English keys while keeping the Hebrew values intact in statusRaw, purpose and limitations.
• isViolatingCompany is a genuine risk signal — the registrar marks companies in breach of their annual filing duty (מפרה). Pair it with lastAnnualReportYear.
• Both Hebrew and English name searches work, but the English name column is empty for many older companies.
• Queries that match nothing are still pushed as { query, error }, so a partial run is never silent.
