## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Vietnam Company Registry Scraper (Tax Code Lookup)

Official Vietnamese company data by tax code (mã số thuế): legal name, international and short name, operating status and registered address — including branch detection.

**Free · No API key · Official source · Same schema across every country in this series**

### What data do you get?

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `companyName` | Registered legal name |
| `registrationNumber` | Tax code (mã số thuế) — the register's own identifier |
| `taxNumber` | VAT / tax identifier where published |
| `status` | Normalized to `active` / `inactive` / `dissolved` / `unknown` |
| `statusRaw` | The register's own wording, untranslated |
| `legalForm` | Legal form as registered |
| `incorporatedOn` / `dissolvedOn` | ISO dates |
| `address`, `city`, `postalCode` | Registered address |
| `industry`, `industryCode` | Activity classification where published |
| `employees`, `capital` | Where the register publishes them |
| `officers[]` | Directors / partners where published |
| `sourceUrl` | Link to the company's page on the register |

Country-specific fields on top of the shared schema: `companyNameInternational`, `tradingName`, `isBranch`, `parentTaxCode`.

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `queries` | array | — | Tax codes (10 digits, or 13 for a branch — e.g. `0100109106`). |
| `maxResultsPerQuery` | integer | `5` | For name searches, how many matching companies to return. |
| `includeRaw` | boolean | `false` | Attach the register's untouched response under `raw`. |
| `requestDelayMs` | integer | `200` | Politeness delay against a public register. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | none | Optional. |

```json
{
  "queries": [
    "0100109106",
    "0101243150"
  ],
  "maxResultsPerQuery": 5
}
```

### Example output

```json
{
  "country": "VN",
  "registry": "Tổng cục Thuế — mã số thuế (Vietnamese tax code registry)",
  "companyName": "TẬP ĐOÀN CÔNG NGHIỆP - VIỄN THÔNG QUÂN ĐỘI",
  "registrationNumber": "0100109106",
  "taxNumber": "0100109106",
  "status": "active",
  "statusRaw": "NNT đang hoạt động",
  "isBranch": false,
  "address": "Lô D26 Khu đô thị mới Cầu Giấy, Phường Cầu Giấy, TP Hà Nội",
  "sourceUrl": "https://dichvuthongtin.dkkd.gov.vn/inf/default.aspx?code=0100109106"
}
```

### What can you use it for?

- **Supplier verification** — confirm a Vietnamese supplier's tax code is registered and operating.
- **Group mapping** — 13-digit codes are branches — `parentTaxCode` links them back to the parent company.

### Frequently asked questions

#### Is this Vietnamese 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. Vietnam's national portal is an ASP.NET form with no programmatic search; this actor reads the public tax-code record through VietQR's free business endpoint.

#### Can I search by company name, or only by Tax code (mã số thuế)?

Tax code only. The national portal has no public name search, 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 Vietnamese 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 a 10-digit and a 13-digit tax code?

A 10-digit code identifies the company itself; a 13-digit code is a branch of that company. `isBranch` and `parentTaxCode` make the relationship explicit.

### Notes and limits

- **Lookup is by tax code only.** Vietnam's National Business Registration Portal is an ASP.NET form with no programmatic search, so a name query fails with a clear message.
- **13-digit codes are branches** of the 10-digit parent; `isBranch` and `parentTaxCode` make the relationship explicit.
- Status wording is Vietnamese — `NNT đang hoạt động` (operating) maps to `active`, `tạm ngừng` (suspended) to `inactive`, and dissolution wording to `dissolved`.
- Read through VietQR's free business endpoint, which mirrors the General Department of Taxation's public record.
- Queries that match nothing are still pushed as `{ query, error }`, so a partial run is never silent.

# Actor input Schema

## `queries` (type: `array`):

Tax codes / mã số thuế (10 digits, or 13 for a branch — e.g. `0100109106`). The national portal has no public name search.

## `maxResultsPerQuery` (type: `integer`):

When a query is a name rather than an exact identifier, how many matching companies to return.

## `includeRaw` (type: `boolean`):

Attach the register's untouched response under `raw`. Useful when you need a field this actor does not map.

## `requestDelayMs` (type: `integer`):

Politeness delay against a public register. Raise it for large runs.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Optional.

## Actor input object example

```json

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).
