## Pricing

Pay per usage

This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper 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`).

# README

## ValidaLatam - LatAm Tax ID & Bank Number Validator

Validate, normalize and format **Latin American tax IDs, national IDs and bank account numbers in bulk**: Argentina CUIT/CUIL/DNI/CBU/CVU, Brazil CPF/CNPJ (including the new alphanumeric CNPJ), Mexico RFC/CURP/CLABE, Chile RUT, Colombia NIT, Peru RUC, Uruguay RUT/CI, Ecuador cédula/RUC, Paraguay RUC and IBAN.

### Why use it

- **Clean CRM / lead lists** before importing them into billing or e-invoicing systems.
- **Catch typos** in supplier tax IDs and bank accounts before a payout fails.
- **Normalize formats** (`52998224725` → `529.982.247-25`) for consistent data.
- **Deterministic and private**: official check-digit algorithms. Same input, same output. No AI, no scraping, no third-party lookups, nothing stored.

### Supported types

| Type | Country | Document |
|---|---|---|
| `AR_CUIT` | Argentina | CUIT (tax ID) |
| `AR_CUIL` | Argentina | CUIL (labor ID) |
| `AR_DNI` | Argentina | DNI (format only) |
| `AR_CBU` | Argentina | CBU (bank account) |
| `AR_CVU` | Argentina | CVU (virtual account) |

| `MX_RFC` | Mexico | RFC (tax ID, persona física/moral) |
| `MX_CURP` | Mexico | CURP (population ID) |
| `MX_CLABE` | Mexico | CLABE (bank account) |

### Input example

```json
{
  "items": [
    { "type": "AR_CUIT", "value": "33-69345023-9" },
    { "type": "BR_CPF", "value": "529.982.247-25" },
    { "type": "AUTO", "value": "20131312955", "country": "PE" },
    { "type": "AR_CBU", "value": "2850590940090418135201" }
  ]
}
```

Up to 1000 items per run.

### Output example

One dataset row per item:

```json
{ "valid": true, "type": "AR_CUIT", "country": "AR", "input": "33-69345023-9",
  "normalized": "33693450239", "formatted": "33-69345023-9", "error": null,
  "details": { "entity": "company", "dni": null } }
```

Invalid items return `"valid": false` and a human-readable `error` (e.g. `"check digit mismatch"`). Export results as CSV, Excel or JSON, or call the Actor via the Apify API and integrations (Make, Zapier, n8n).

### Real-time REST API

Need sub-100 ms validation inside your app? Use the ValidaLatam API:

- Website, free tools and algorithm docs: https://validalatam.ia-latam.app
- RapidAPI: https://rapidapi.com/MatiasPengue/api/validalatam

### Limits

A valid check digit means the number is **well-formed**, not that it exists or is active in the tax registry (AFIP/ARCA, Receita Federal, SAT, SII, DIAN, SUNAT, DGI, SRI, DNIT).

# 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 = {
    "items": [
        {
            "type": "BR_CPF",
            "value": "529.982.247-25"
        },
        {
            "type": "AUTO",

            "country": "PE"
        }
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("ialatam/latam-document-validator").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);
});

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "items": [
    {
      "type": "BR_CPF",
      "value": "529.982.247-25"
    },
    {

apify call ialatam/latam-document-validator --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,ialatam/latam-document-validator"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
