## 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

## Spain BORME Corporate Registry Scraper

Extract structured corporate registry data from Spain's **BORME** (Boletin Oficial del Registro Mercantil), published daily on [boe.es](https://www.boe.es/diario_borme/).

The BORME is the official gazette where all Spanish commercial registry filings are published - company incorporations, capital modifications, mergers, dissolutions, insolvency proceedings, and more.

### What data does it extract?

For each published entry, the scraper returns:

- **Company name** - the registered entity
- **Act type** - Constitucion, Disolucion, Fusion, Escision, Ampliacion de capital, Reduccion de capital, Concurso de acreedores, Situacion concursal, Cambio de objeto social, Transformacion de sociedad
- **Province** - registration province (all 50 Spanish provinces)
- **Amount** - capital amount in euros (when available)
- **BORME number** - entry identifier within the gazette
- **BORME document** - official document ID (e.g. BORME-A-2026-156-01)
- **Publication date** - date of publication on BOE
- **Source URL** - direct link to the official HTML document on boe.es

### Use cases

- **Due diligence** - Track company changes, officer appointments, and capital movements
- **Competitive intelligence** - Monitor new company incorporations in your sector
- **Legal and compliance** - Verify corporate filings and changes in real time
- **Market research** - Analyze M\&A activity, dissolutions, and capital trends by province
- **Lead generation** - Identify newly incorporated companies
- **Insolvency monitoring** - Track bankruptcy proceedings and creditor claims

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call ivosandoval/spain-borme-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,ivosandoval/spain-borme-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
