## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

# README

## ACRA Singapore Company Registry Scraper

Search and export **Singapore's full ACRA corporate registry** into clean JSON, CSV or Excel. Get **UEN, entity name, status, incorporation date, full address, SSIC industry codes, officer count, former names and audit firms** for the ~1.5M entities registered with ACRA. Powered by ACRA's **open data** (data.gov.sg) — fast, no browser, no login, no key.

Perfect for **B2B lead generation, KYC / due diligence, market research, competitor mapping and enrichment**.

### Why this actor

Most Singapore-company scrapers are thin name/UEN lookups. This one covers the **entire registry across all 27 ACRA datasets** and returns the **full rich record**, including:

- 🏢 **Identity** — UEN, entity name, up to 15 former names, entity type, constitution, company type
- 📌 **Status & dates** — status (Live, Struck Off, In Liquidation…), incorporation date, UEN issue date, annual-return & account-due dates
- 🏭 **Industry** — primary & secondary **SSIC codes + descriptions** and user-described activities
- 📍 **Address** — structured (block, street, unit, building, postal) plus a formatted one-line address
- 👥 **Governance** — officer count and up to 5 audit firms (name + UEN)

### Search & filter

- **`query`** — full-text search across the registry (name, keyword, UEN)
- **`status`** — e.g. `Live`, `Cancelled`, `Struck Off`
- **`entityType`** — e.g. `Local Company`, `Sole Proprietorship/ Partnership`
- **`ssic`** — industry filter by SSIC **code** (e.g. `62010`) or **keyword** (e.g. `software`) — great for building industry lead lists
- **`maxItems`** — cap the export (full registry is ~1.5M entities)

### Example input

```json
{ "query": "", "status": "Live", "ssic": "software", "maxItems": 5000 }
```

### Output

```json
{
  "uen": "199302785E",
