## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

### English

#### What does Brazil CNPJ Bulk Lookup do?

It validates, de-duplicates and enriches a list of Brazilian CNPJs (company tax IDs) with official registry data published by **Receita Federal do Brasil** as open data (Cadastro Nacional da Pessoa Jurídica). It is ideal for **lead enrichment**, **KYB / supplier onboarding**, **CRM cleaning**, B2B prospecting by **CNAE**, and market research.

#### Why use it?

- ⚡ **Fast**: hundreds of CNPJs per minute, parallel lookups with automatic retries.
- 🔁 **Reliable**: three independent open-data sources with automatic fallback (OpenCNPJ → Minha Receita → BrasilAPI).
- ✅ **Built-in CNPJ validation** (check digits), including the new **alphanumeric CNPJ** format.
- 💸 **Cheap**: $0.80 per 1,000 companies found, no start fee, invalid/not-found CNPJs are not charged.
- 🔒 **Privacy-first (LGPD)**: no partner/shareholder (QSA) data is ever returned; for sole proprietors / MEI the CPF embedded in the name and the personal contacts are removed.

#### Input

#### Pricing

Pay-per-event: **$0.0008 per company found** ($0.80 / 1,000). No start fee. Platform usage is minimal (256 MB).

This Actor is not affiliated with Receita Federal.

#### FAQ

## MCP server setup

```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).
