## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## CNPJ Lookup — Brazilian Company Registry Data

Send a list of CNPJs (Brazilian company tax IDs) — get back the **official registry data** for each company: legal name, trade name, economic activity (CNAE), registration status, address, partners and share capital. Public data, no login, no API key.

**Multi-source with automatic fallback:** the Actor queries BrasilAPI → cnpj.ws → ReceitaWS in order and returns the first source that answers. When one public source is down or rate-limited (it happens weekly), your run keeps working — you don't even notice.

### Input example

```json
{
  "cnpjs": ["11.222.333/0001-81", "00000000000191"]
}
````

Formatted or digits-only, both work. Invalid CNPJs (wrong check digit) are flagged and skipped — they **never crash the run and are never charged**.

### Output example

```json
{
  "cnpj": "11222333000181",
  "cnpj_formatado": "11.222.333/0001-81",
  "razao_social": "EMPRESA EXEMPLO LTDA",
  "nome_fantasia": "Exemplo",
  "situacao": "ATIVA",
  "cnae": { "codigo": 6201501, "descricao": "Desenvolvimento de programas de computador sob encomenda" },
  "porte": "MICRO EMPRESA",
  "capital_social": 10000,
  "data_abertura": "2020-01-01",
  "endereco": { "logradouro": "RUA X", "numero": "100", "bairro": "CENTRO", "municipio": "SAO PAULO", "uf": "SP", "cep": "01000000" },
  "telefone": "1130000000",
  "email": "contato@exemplo.com",
  "socios": [{ "nome": "FULANO DE TAL", "qualificacao": "Sócio-Administrador" }],
  "fonte": "brasilapi"
}
```

### Output fields

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `razao_social` | Exact legal name from the federal registry (unmodified). |
| `situacao` | Registration status (ATIVA = active, BAIXADA = closed, etc.). |
| `cnae` | Primary economic activity (code + description). |
| `socios` | Public partner/shareholder list (name + role). |
| `capital_social` | Declared share capital (BRL). |
| `fonte` | Which source answered (`brasilapi`, `cnpj.ws` or `receitaws`). |

### Use cases

- **KYB / vendor screening** — confirm a Brazilian company exists, is active, and who its partners are before signing
- **Lead qualification** — enrich a B2B lead list with official activity, size and location before outreach
- **CRM enrichment** — turn a bare CNPJ column into full firmographic data
- **Compliance checks** — flag companies with BAIXADA/SUSPENSA status in your supplier base

### Pricing (Pay per event)

| Event | When | Price |
|---|---|---|
| `actor-start` | once per run | $0.005 |
| `company-fetched` | once per company successfully returned | $0.01 |

Invalid or not-found CNPJs are **not charged**. A 500-company batch costs $0.005 + 500 × $0.01 = **$5.01**.

### Is this compliant?

Yes — CNPJ registry data is **public information** published by Brazil's Federal Revenue Service (Receita Federal), accessed through public APIs. No login, no private data, no scraping behind authentication.

### Limitations

- Availability depends on the public sources; under heavy rate limiting a few CNPJs may return a temporary error (re-running resolves it — thanks to the fallback this is rare).
- Lookup is **by CNPJ** (you provide the list). Search by filters (state/CNAE) is not in this version.

### From the same maker

- **[Lead Enricher & ICP Scorer](https://apify.com/gangary/lead-enricher-icp)** — send raw leads, get them verified, deduplicated and scored 0–100 against your ideal customer profile. Pair them: this Actor for the official data, the Enricher to qualify and prioritize.

# Actor input Schema

## `cnpjs` (type: `array`):

Lista de CNPJs (com ou sem pontuacao). CNPJs invalidos sao marcados no output, nao quebram o run.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "cnpjs": [
    "11.222.333/0001-81"
  ]
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "cnpjs": [
        "11.222.333/0001-81"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("gangary/cnpj-lookup").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});
