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.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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 ## Singapore Company Search (ACRA) — UEN, Status, KYC & Business Data Search **Singapore's official ACRA company register** — over **2 million entities** — by **name or UEN**. Get each company's **status, entity type, incorporation date, industry (SSIC), registered address, number of officers, auditor and former names** in one call. Built for **KYC/KYB, due diligence, lead generation and AI agents**. No API key, no setup — official government data, free for commercial use. --- ### Why this Actor? ACRA (the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority) is Singapore's company registry — the authoritative source of truth for whether a company exists, its UEN, and its status. But the raw open data ships as 27 separate alphabetized files with millions of rows. This Actor turns it into a simple search: give it a name or UEN and get back a clean, structured record. - **KYC / KYB onboarding** — verify a Singapore counterparty: does it exist, is it live, what's its UEN and industry? - **Due diligence & compliance** — check status (live vs struck-off), incorporation date, officers and auditor. - **Lead generation** — find companies by name/industry with their registered address. - **AI agents** — a tool an agent calls to resolve or verify a Singapore company in real time. It's the Singapore piece of a company-data / KYC stack, alongside global business-identity sources. --- ### What you get For every match: | Field | Description | | --- | --- | | `uen` | Unique Entity Number (Singapore's company ID) | | `entityName` | Registered name | | `status` | Live, Struck Off, Cancelled, Deregistered, etc. | | `entityType` | Local Company, Sole Proprietorship, LLP, etc. | | `incorporationDate` | Registration / incorporation date | | `uenIssueDate` | When the UEN was issued | | `ssicCode` / `ssicDescription` | Primary industry (SSIC) | | `address` | Registered address | | `postalCode` | Postal code | | `noOfOfficers` | Number of officers | | `auditFirm` | Auditor (where applicable) | | `formerNames` | Previous entity names | | `source` | ACRA / data.gov.sg | | `scrapedAt` | Timestamp | Basic fields come from the register; the industry, officers, auditor and full address are enriched from ACRA's detailed datasets when `includeDetails` is on. --- ### Example output ```json { "query": "Shopee", "uen": "201929065K", "entityName": "SHOPEE INTERNATIONAL VI PRIVATE LIMITED", "status": "Live Company", "entityType": "Local Company", "incorporationDate": "2019-09-05", "ssicCode": "47910", "ssicDescription": "RETAIL SALE VIA INTERNET", "address": "5 Science Park Drive, Singapore 118265", "noOfOfficers": "6", "auditFirm": "", "source": "ACRA / data.gov.sg", "scrapedAt": "2026-07-07T15:00:00.000Z" } ```` *** ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `queries` | array | — | **Required.** Company names or UENs to search. | | `includeDetails` | boolean | `true` | Enrich with SSIC, incorporation date, officers, auditor, full address. | | `activeOnly` | boolean | `false` | Keep only live/registered entities. | | `maxMatchesPerQuery` | integer | `20` | Max companies per search term. | #### Search by name ```json { "queries": ["DBS Bank", "Grab", "Sea Limited"], "includeDetails": true } ``` #### Verify specific UENs (KYC) ```json { "queries": ["201929065K", "198600294G"], "includeDetails": true } ``` #### Live companies only ```json { "queries": ["logistics"], "activeOnly": true, "maxMatchesPerQuery": 50 } ``` *** ### Use cases in detail #### 1. KYC / KYB onboarding Verify a Singapore company at onboarding: pass its name or UEN and confirm it exists, is **live** (not struck-off), and matches the UEN it gave you. The incorporation date and officers help complete the picture. #### 2. Due diligence & investigations Check a counterparty's status history, former names (renames can hide history), industry and auditor before a deal. #### 3. Lead generation & enrichment Search by name and enrich a list of Singapore companies with UEN, industry (SSIC) and registered address. #### 4. AI agents Expose this as a tool so an agent can resolve "is COMPANY X a real, active Singapore company?" with authoritative data, mid-conversation. *** ### How to use it 1. Click **Try for free**. 2. Enter company names or UENs in `queries`. 3. Click **Start**. 4. Read the results as **JSON, CSV, Excel**, or via the Apify API. *** ### Calling from the API ```bash curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/YOUR_ACTOR_ID/runs?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "queries": ["DBS Bank", "201929065K"], "includeDetails": true }' ``` Then fetch the dataset: ```bash curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/YOUR_ACTOR_ID/runs/last/dataset/items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" ``` Works with webhooks, Zapier, Make and n8n — wire it into your onboarding or CRM. *** ### Frequently asked questions **What's a UEN?** The Unique Entity Number — Singapore's standard ID for every registered entity (companies, partnerships, societies, etc.). **How many companies are covered?** Over 2 million entities — the full ACRA register, updated regularly. **Can I search by name and by UEN?** Yes, mixed in one run. UENs resolve exactly; names return all matches. **What does `status` tell me?** Whether the entity is Live, Struck Off, Cancelled, Deregistered, Ceased, etc. — essential for KYC. **Why is the industry (SSIC) sometimes empty?** Some entity types (e.g. certain sole proprietorships) don't have an SSIC on record. Core fields (UEN, name, status, type, address) are always present. **Is this official data?** Yes — it comes from ACRA's open data on data.gov.sg, free for commercial use under the Open Data Licence. **Can an AI agent call this automatically?** Yes — it's keyless and returns structured JSON. *** ### Notes & responsible use This Actor surfaces publicly available company-registry data published by ACRA via data.gov.sg, for verification, research and business purposes. Data is updated on ACRA's schedule and may lag very recent changes; for legally binding checks, consult ACRA's official BizFile service. Use the data in line with the Open Data Licence and applicable laws. *Contains information from ACRA / data.gov.sg, accessed under the Singapore Open Data Licence.* *** ### Support Want another field, filtering by industry, or officer details?
