Frequently asked questions

Is this Slovak 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 Statistical Office publishes the Register of Legal Persons (RPO) as a free API with no key.

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

Name search is the reliable path. The source API's identifier filter frequently times out, so an IČO query is attempted with a long timeout and fails with a clear message rather than hanging your run.

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 Slovak 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.

Why is this actor slower than the others?

The Slovak statistical office API routinely takes 30–60 seconds per request. That is the source, not the actor — plan run times accordingly.

Notes and limits

• Search by company name is the reliable path. The source API's identifier= filter frequently times out; an IČO query is attempted with a long timeout and fails with a clear message rather than hanging your run.
• This API is slow — single requests routinely take 30–60 seconds. That is the source, not the actor; plan run times accordingly.
• Records are fully time-versioned. This actor returns the name, address, legal form and activity in force today, and keeps superseded names in previousNames.
• Queries that match nothing are still pushed as { query, error }, so a partial run is never silent.
