• Counterparty risk — the HABIDO condition tells you whether SUNAT can actually locate the taxpayer at its declared address.
• Invoicing compliance — confirm a RUC is active before issuing or accepting an invoice.

Frequently asked questions

Is this Peruvian 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. SUNAT's own portal is behind a CAPTCHA; this actor reads the same public RUC record through the free apis.net.pe gateway.

Can I search by company name, or only by RUC?

RUC only. SUNAT publishes no public search-by-name index, so a name query fails with a clear message rather than returning nothing.

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 Peruvian 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 is the difference between "estado" and "condición"?

status (estado) says whether the RUC is active. taxpayerCondition (condición) says whether SUNAT can find the taxpayer at its declared address — NO HABIDO is a real risk flag that an active status alone would hide.

Notes and limits

• Lookup is by RUC only — SUNAT publishes no public search-by-name index, and a name query fails with a clear message rather than returning nothing.
• taxpayerCondition is the field to watch. HABIDO means SUNAT can locate the taxpayer at its declared address; NO HABIDO is a genuine counterparty risk flag that status: active alone would hide.
• A RUC starting 20 is a legal entity and 10 a natural person trading — surfaced as entityKind.
• SUNAT's own portal is behind a CAPTCHA; this actor reads the same public record through the apis.net.pe gateway.
• Queries that match nothing are still pushed as { query, error }, so a partial run is never silent.
