CNPJ Lookup in Bulk – Brazil Company Data (Receita Federal)

Consulta CNPJ em massa. Paste a list of Brazilian CNPJ numbers and get one clean row per company from the Receita Federal open CNPJ data:

• Identity: legal name (razão social), trade name (nome fantasia), head office or branch (matriz/filial).
• Status: registration status (situação cadastral: ATIVA, BAIXADA, INAPTA, SUSPENSA, NULA), with an English label, status date and reason, and special status.
• Company profile: opening date (início de atividade), legal nature (natureza jurídica), size (porte) and share capital (capital social).
• Activities: primary CNAE with description, plus every secondary CNAE.
• Address and contact: full address (street, number, complement, district, city, IBGE code, UF, CEP) and the phones as published.
• Tax regime: Simples Nacional and MEI flags with dates, and the tax regime history (Lucro Real / Presumido…).
• Partners (quadro societário / QSA): name, role, entry date, age range and the masked CPF/CNPJ, exactly as the Receita publishes them.

$0.40 per 1,000 companies. Check digits are validated locally before any request, so invalid CNPJs cost nothing, and CNPJs that are not found are free too.

🇧🇷 Em português: consulte milhares de CNPJs de uma vez. Para cada empresa você recebe razão social, nome fantasia, situação cadastral, data de abertura, CNAE principal e secundários, endereço completo, natureza jurídica, porte, capital social, opção pelo Simples/MEI e o quadro societário (QSA). Os dados vêm dos dados abertos da Receita Federal. CNPJs inválidos (dígito verificador errado) e não encontrados não são cobrados. O preço é US$ 0,40 por 1.000 empresas.

Use cases

• KYC / KYB and onboarding: confirm that a supplier or customer CNPJ is ATIVA before you sign or pay them.
• Lead enrichment / prospecção B2B: add CNAE, size, city and capital to a CRM list, then segment by sector and region.
• Accounting and fiscal checks: check Simples Nacional / MEI status in bulk, and flag BAIXADA or INAPTA suppliers.
• Due diligence and compliance: list partners and administrators (QSA) and find related companies.
• Data cleaning: normalise and validate messy CNPJ columns from spreadsheets (formatted, unformatted, or missing leading zeros).

Invalid and not-found inputs are returned as rows too, so your list keeps its length and you can see what to fix:

{ "input": "33.000.167/0001-02", "valid": false, "found": false, "lookupStatus": "invalid",
  "error": "Invalid CNPJ: check digits do not match" }

lookupStatus is one of found, not_found, invalid or error. The Output tab has four views: Companies, Partners (QSA), Address & CNAEs and Lookup status. You can export everything as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Pricing

Pay per event. You pay only for results and there is no subscription.

Event	Price
Company found	$0.0004 ($0.40 per 1,000)
Invalid CNPJ (check digit fails)	free
CNPJ not found / lookup failed	free

Set a Maximum cost per run and the Actor stops cleanly when it is reached. It never starts a lookup it cannot charge for.

Data sources and attribution

The data is public open government data: the Receita Federal CNPJ register (Cadastro Nacional da Pessoa Jurídica). It is published under Brazil's open-data policy (Decree 8.777/2016) and the Access to Information Law (Lei 12.527/2011).

The Actor reads it through a free, keyless, open-source mirror:

1. Minha Receita (primary, open source, MIT). Thanks to the project and its contributors. Please consider supporting it.

Requests are throttled to 2 per second by default. On 429 the Actor backs off and honours Retry-After. Retries use jittered backoff. The data is as fresh as the latest monthly Receita Federal release loaded by the mirrors.

Personal data and LGPD

Some fields are personal data published by the government: partner names, age range, masked CPF, and the owner's name inside sole-proprietor/MEI company names. You are responsible for using these fields in compliance with the LGPD (Lei 13.709/2018). That means having a legal basis such as legitimate interest for B2B, KYC or compliance purposes, minimising data and honouring data-subject rights. If you do not need partners, set includePartners to false. The Actor stores nothing beyond your own run's dataset.

Use with AI agents (Apify MCP)

This Actor works as a tool for AI agents such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and LangChain through the Apify MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com). An agent calls it with {"cnpjs": [...]} and gets typed JSON with English keys and explicit lookupStatus, so it can answer questions like these:

• "Is the supplier 12.345.678/0001-95 still active, and is it in the Simples Nacional?"
• "Who are the administrators of Magazine Luiza and when did they join?"
• "Which of these 500 CNPJs are BAIXADA or INAPTA?"

API (sync, for small lists): POST https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/gazidev~brazil-cnpj-lookup/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=… with the input JSON.

FAQ

How is the CNPJ validated? The Actor uses the official mod-11 check-digit algorithm, including the new alphanumeric format (letters in the first 12 positions, from July 2026). Wrong length, repeated digits like 11.111.111/1111-11, or a wrong check digit give lookupStatus: "invalid". No request is made and nothing is charged.

My spreadsheet removed the leading zeros. Purely numeric values with 8–13 digits are padded back to 14 digits before validation (e.g. Caixa 360305000104 → 00.360.305/0001-04).

Why is a valid CNPJ "not found"? Very new companies can be missing until the next monthly open-data release. New alphanumeric CNPJs appear once the mirrors load them. Not-found rows are free.

Why is the email empty? The Receita Federal open data no longer publishes most company emails, so the field is usually null. Phones are returned as published.

Can I search by CNAE or city instead of CNPJ? Not yet. This Actor looks up known CNPJs.

How fast is it? About 2 CNPJs per second (7,000/hour) at the default polite rate, on 256 MB. The 3-CNPJ example finishes in a few seconds.
