Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## ACRA Singapore Company Registry Scraper Extract company data from the Singapore ACRA (Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority) company registry via the data.gov.sg public API. Returns UEN (Unique Entity Number), entity name, type, registration status, date, and address for all 2M+ entities in the registry. Filter by status, entity type, or search by keyword — or supply a list of UENs to batch-enrich in a single run. ### What you get Each record contains: | Field | Description | |---|---| | `uen` | Unique Entity Number — Singapore's primary business identifier | | `entity_name` | Registered company name | | `entity_type` | Local Company, Foreign Company Branch, LLP, Sole Proprietorship, etc. | | `entity_status` | Registered (active) or Deregistered (struck off) | | `registration_date` | Date the UEN was issued (YYYY-MM-DD) | | `issuance_agency` | Government agency that issued the UEN (typically ACRA) | | `street_name` | Registered street address | | `postal_code` | Singapore postal code | | `scraped_at` | ISO 8601 timestamp of retrieval | ### Use cases - **Lead generation** — filter active companies by type or keyword to build prospect lists - **B2B data enrichment** — batch-enrich an existing CRM list by supplying a list of UENs - **Market research** — count and analyse company distributions across Singapore industries - **AML / KYC screening** — verify registration status of counterparties - **Competitive intelligence** — discover companies in a specific sector ### Input | Parameter | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `maxItems` | integer | Maximum records to return. Leave blank for all. | | `searchQuery` | string | Full-text search across name, UEN, and address. | | `entityStatus` | string | `registered` (active), `deregistered`, or `all`. Default: `registered`. | | `entityType` | string | Filter by entity type (e.g. `Local Company`). Default: `all`. | | `uenList` | string[] | Batch-enrich mode: list of UENs to look up individually. When set, search filters are ignored. | ### Example: search for technology companies ```json { "searchQuery": "technology", "entityStatus": "registered", "maxItems": 100 } ```` ### Example: batch-enrich UENs ```json { "uenList": ["201201936C", "53250767C", "200512365W"], "maxItems": 3 } ``` ### Data source Data is fetched from the [data.gov.sg CKAN API](https://data.gov.sg/datasets?resultId=d_bfef36c2204c0e6f17b7a49eb6af0e26) (ACRA Information on Corporate Entities). The dataset covers 2M+ entities and is refreshed monthly by ACRA. The UEN is the canonical identifier for Singapore B2B data — every government system (IRAS tax, MOM work passes, GeBIZ tenders) links on it. Pairs naturally with MyCareersFuture job listings and GeBIZ procurement data for cross-dataset Singapore B2B intelligence. # Actor input Schema ## `sp_intended_usage` (type: `string`): Please describe how you plan to use the data extracted by this crawler. ## `sp_improvement_suggestions` (type: `string`): Provide any feedback or suggestions for improvements. ## `sp_contact` (type: `string`): Provide your email address so we can get in touch with you. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of company records to return. Leave blank to fetch all. ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Full-text search across company name, UEN, and address fields. Leave blank to fetch all companies (subject to entityStatus and entityType filters). ## `entityStatus` (type: `string`): Filter by registration status. "registered" = active companies only. "deregistered" = struck-off / dissolved companies. "all" = both. ## `entityType` (type: `string`): Filter to a specific entity type. Leave blank or set to "all" to include all types. Common values: "Local Company", "Foreign Company Branch", "Limited Liability Partnership", "Sole Proprietorship/ Partnership". ## `uenList` (type: `array`): List of UENs (Unique Entity Numbers) to look up individually. When provided, the actor runs in batch-enrichment mode and ignores searchQuery / entityStatus / entityType filters. ## Actor input object example ```json { "sp_intended_usage": "Describe your intended use...", "sp_improvement_suggestions": "Share your suggestions here...", "sp_contact": "Share your email here...", "maxItems": 10, "entityStatus": "registered", "entityType": "all", "uenList": [] } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
