Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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`).

### What This Actor Does

This Actor turns Vietnam's public company directory into a structured dataset. For each company it returns:

- **Identity** — company name, **tax code (Mã số thuế)**, directory ID
- **Location** — registered address and province/city
- **Registration** — registration date
- **Details (optional)** — status (active / dissolved) and main industry

Scrape by one or many provinces (or a keyword), and it paginates through the full list — 20 companies per page — deduped by tax code.

***

### Why Use This

- **Company data at scale.** Name, tax code, address and province for companies across any Vietnamese province — a strong base for B2B, KYC and market mapping.
- **Tax code included.** The tax code (Mã số thuế) is the key identifier for Vietnamese businesses — perfect for matching, enrichment and verification.
- **Province-level coverage.** Target specific cities/provinces (Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang…) or sweep many at once.
- **Fast and cheap.** Pure-HTTP over SSR HTML — no headless browser, no residential proxy.

***

### Quick Start

#### Run it in the console (no code)

1. Add one or more **Provinces** (e.g. `Ha-Noi`, `TP-Ho-Chi-Minh`, `Da-Nang`).
2. Optionally enable **Include details** for status and main industry.
3. Set **Max companies**, click **Start**, then export as **JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML**, or push to Google Sheets, a webhook or a database.

#### Run it via API (Python)

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")

run_input = {
    "provinces": ["Ha-Noi", "TP-Ho-Chi-Minh"],
    "maxItems": 1000,
}

run = client.actor("YOUR_USERNAME/vietnam-business-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

for c in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(c["name"], "·", c["taxCode"], "·", c["province"])
```

#### Build a company dataset with tax codes (Python)

```python
run = client.actor("YOUR_USERNAME/vietnam-business-scraper").call(run_input={
    "provinces": ["Da-Nang"],
    "includeDetails": True,
    "maxItems": 2000,
})
companies = [c for c in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items() if c.get("taxCode")]
active = [c for c in companies if "Đang hoạt động" in (c.get("status") or "")]
print(len(companies), "companies,", len(active), "active")
```

***

### Input Parameters

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `provinces` | array | Province slugs (e.g. `Ha-Noi`, `TP-Ho-Chi-Minh`, `Da-Nang`). |
| `keyword` | string | Optional keyword to search companies by name. |
| `startUrls` | array | Direct listing URLs (alternative to provinces). |
| `includeDetails` | boolean | Fetch status & main industry per company. Default `false`. |
| `maxItems` | integer | Max companies across all provinces. `0` = no limit. |
| `maxPages` | integer | Max pages per province (20 per page). Default `50`. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify Proxy. Datacenter is enough and enabled by default. |

**Common province slugs:** `Ha-Noi`, `TP-Ho-Chi-Minh`, `Da-Nang`, `Hai-Phong`, `Can-Tho`, `Bac-Ninh`, `Binh-Duong`, `Dong-Nai`, `Quang-Ninh`.

***

### Output

Each company is one record:

```json
{
  "companyId": "38123",
  "name": "CÔNG TY CỔ PHẦN DỊCH VỤ VÀ SẢN XUẤT NGUYỄN ĐỨC MINH",
  "taxCode": "0111138123",
  "address": "Khu lò gạch số 2, Thôn Phúc Am, Xã Hồng Vân, Hà Nội",
  "province": "Hà Nội",
  "registrationDate": "23/07/2025",
  "status": "Đang hoạt động",
  "mainIndustry": "Bán lẻ hàng hóa khác ...",
  "detailUrl": "https://infodoanhnghiep.com/thong-tin/...-38123.html"
}
```

Without `includeDetails`, each record still has name, tax code, address, province and registration date.

***

### Use Cases

#### 1. B2B lead generation

Build targeted company lists by province with tax code and address — a base for sales, outreach and account lists.

#### 2. KYC & due diligence

Verify Vietnamese businesses by tax code, address and status (active/dissolved) for onboarding and compliance.

#### 3. Market & competitive research

Map company density and new registrations by province and industry to understand a market.

#### 4. Data enrichment

Match and enrich CRM/ERP records with tax codes, addresses and registration data.

#### 5. Monitoring new companies

Track newly registered companies by province and date for timely outreach.

***

### Tips

- **Provinces:** use the slug form (`Ha-Noi`, `TP-Ho-Chi-Minh`). Add several to sweep a region.
- **`includeDetails`** adds status and main industry (one request per company) — enable when you need them.
- **`maxItems: 0`** paginates to the end (20 per page); each province has many pages.
- **Schedule it** with Apify Schedules to capture newly registered companies.

***

### Frequently Asked Questions

**Do I need an account?**
No. The Actor reads publicly visible directory data — no login required.

**What is the tax code (Mã số thuế)?**
It's the unique business identifier for Vietnamese companies — the key field for matching and verification.

**Is contact info (phone/email) included?**
The directory exposes name, tax code, address, province, date, status and industry. Phone/email are not part of the public listing.

**What export formats are supported?**
JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or via API — plus Google Sheets, webhooks, Make and Zapier.

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).
