San Francisco and Los Angeles both publish their registered-business corpus as open data (city Socrata portals, free public data). This actor turns those into a queryable, charged-per-record API - for B2B sales leads, new-business intelligence, and reference checks on who is actually doing business in SF / LA.
What it covers
San Francisco (city: sf) - every registered business location, refreshed daily (~366k rows):
- Active (~126k): currently operating (location not ended + not administratively closed).
- New openings: every business has a
dba_start_date- filternewSinceto pull "who opened in the last N days" (SF sees ~15-30 new DBAs/day). - Closed / administratively closed:
dba_end_date+ the administratively-closed flag track when businesses stopped. - Each row: DBA + legal (ownership) name, street address, ZIP, NAICS code, license type, open date.
Los Angeles (city: la) - the current active-business set, refreshed monthly (~634k rows): business name / DBA, NAICS + description, council district, location start date.
Typical questions
- "Which businesses just opened in San Francisco?"
- "Who is doing business in ZIP 94110 / council district 10?"
- "What NAICS industries dominate this city - where should I sell?"
- "Is this company an active registered business in SF or LA?"
Low cost
From $0.001 per record - billed only for the rows you use, with a per-run charge cap so a broad query can't surprise-bill.
This is a live, million-row dual-city registry, not a static dump. SF republishes its full ~366k-location business register every day; LA's ~634k active set refreshes monthly. Neither city hands you "who is currently operating" - that has to be reconstructed: a business is active only when its location record carries no end date (SF also stamps ~47k closed records as administratively closed - a city closure type that, like any closure, carries an end date), so we derive active / opened-recently / closed from the raw end-date + closure-flag logic on every pull. Counts and cohorts (by NAICS, ZIP, council district) roll up on demand. You query which businesses are actually operating; the open / closed reconstruction stays on our side.
Inputs
| Input | What it does |
|---|---|
city | sf (default, daily) or la (monthly) |
activeOnly | SF: on = active only (~126k); off = whole registry incl. closed. Default on. LA is already the active set. |
newSince | SF: only DBAs started on/after YYYY-MM-DD - the new-openings feed |
businessName | substring, matches DBA / business name |
naics | full or prefix code (541, 531100) |
zip | exact ZIP |
councilDistrict | LA council district |
licenseType | SF license type, substring |
aggregate / groupBy | one row per group (NAICS / ZIP / council district) with a count |
maxResults | cap records (default 200) |
Default run = the ~200 most recently opened active SF businesses - the freshest lead-gen pull, and fast enough for Apify's daily auto-test.
