• Lead enrichment — resolve Singapore company names to UENs, entity types and registered addresses.
• Entity filtering — isAcraEntity separates ACRA-registered businesses from societies, charities and government bodies that also hold UENs.

Frequently asked questions

Is this Singaporean 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. ACRA publishes the full UEN register as an open dataset on data.gov.sg.

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

Both. A UEN is an exact lookup; anything else runs a full-text name search across 2.1 million entities.

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 Singaporean 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.

Does this include directors or financials?

No. ACRA charges for those through BizFile. The free open-data release covers entity identity — name, UEN, type, status, date and address — which is what this actor returns.

Notes and limits

• The UEN register is broader than a company register. It also covers societies, charities and government bodies, whose UENs are issued by other agencies — issuingAgency and isAcraEntity let you filter to ACRA-registered businesses only.
• About 1.47m of the 2.1m records are Deregistered; only ~633k are currently Registered. Filter on status if you want live entities.
• ACRA's own BizFile portal charges for company searches; this actor reads the same identity data from the free open-data release. Directors and financials are not in that release.
• Queries that match nothing are still pushed as { query, error }, so a partial run is never silent.
