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 ## DENUE Mexico Business Directory Scraper Scrapes establishment data from [DENUE](https://www.inegi.org.mx/app/mapa/denue/), Mexico's national economic unit registry maintained by INEGI. Returns geo coordinates, SCIAN industry codes, employee ranges, contact details, and full addresses for 5.5M+ active businesses — filtered by state, keyword, or sector. --- ### DENUE Scraper Features - Extracts up to 5.5M Mexican business listings from the official INEGI DENUE database - Filters by state (entidad federativa) — all 32 states plus national - Filters by activity keyword (e.g., "restaurante", "farmacia", "construccion") or pulls all establishments - Returns geo coordinates (latitude/longitude) for every record — map-ready out of the box - Includes SCIAN industry class descriptions and employee range (estrato) for sector classification - Collects contact info where available: phone number, email, website - Outputs full structured addresses: street, exterior number, interior number, neighborhood, postal code - Handles DENUE's offset-based pagination automatically — just set `maxItems` and walk away - Uses the official INEGI REST API — no browser, no proxy required --- ### Who Uses DENUE Data? - **Sales teams** — Build targeted prospect lists filtered by industry and state, then load into a CRM - **Market researchers** — Map business density by sector across Mexico's 32 states - **Real estate analysts** — Identify commercial activity patterns by neighborhood and postal code - **Logistics teams** — Geocode delivery destinations and classify customers by industry - **Competitive intelligence** — Count competitors in a city by SCIAN code before entering a market - **Academic researchers** — Study employment distribution and formality rates across Mexican states --- ### How DENUE Scraper Works 1. **Provide a free INEGI API token.** Register at [inegi.org.mx](https://www.inegi.org.mx/app/api/denue/v1/tokenVerify.aspx) — enter your email and the token arrives automatically. 2. **Set your filters.** Choose a state code (`09` for CDMX, `00` for all states) and an activity keyword, or leave the keyword blank to pull all businesses in the state. 3. **The scraper paginates through DENUE.** It fetches records in batches, stopping at your `maxItems` limit or when the dataset is exhausted. 4. **Output lands in your Apify dataset.** Clean JSON with 20 fields per establishment, ready for export or downstream processing. --- ### Input ```json { "apiToken": "your-denue-api-token-here", "entidad": "09", "keyword": "restaurante", "pageSize": 200, "maxItems": 1000 } ```` | Field | Type | Default | Description | |-------|------|---------|-------------| | `apiToken` | string | — | **Required.** Your free INEGI DENUE API token.

DENUE Scraper requires a free INEGI API token. Go to [inegi.org.mx/app/api/denue/v1/tokenVerify.aspx](https://www.inegi.org.mx/app/api/denue/v1/tokenVerify.aspx), enter your email address, and the token arrives in your inbox within a minute. No account signup, no payment — INEGI provides this as a public data service. #### How much does DENUE Scraper cost to run? DENUE Scraper charges $0.10 per run plus $0.001 per record — about $1.10 for 1,000 establishments. Scraping all 5.5M records would cost roughly $5,600 in data charges plus platform costs, which is why the `maxItems` default is conservative. Start small. #### Can I scrape all of Mexico at once? Set `entidad` to `"00"` and `keyword` to `"0"` to pull all establishments in all states. The dataset contains 5.5M+ records, so set `maxItems` to a realistic target and plan for a long run. DENUE is a government API with no formal rate limits — the scraper adds a 500ms delay between pages to stay polite. #### Does DENUE Scraper need proxies? No. It calls the official INEGI DENUE REST API directly. No browser, no headless rendering, no proxy required. #### What does the employee range (estrato) field mean? The `estrato` field uses DENUE's standard personnel strata: "0 a 5 personas", "6 a 10 personas", "11 a 30 personas", "31 a 50 personas", "51 a 100 personas", "101 a 250 personas", "251 y más personas". It's a proxy for company size, not an exact headcount. *** ### Need More Features? Need additional filters, municipality-level breakdowns, or custom field mapping? [File an issue](https://console.apify.com/actors/issues) or get in touch. ### Why Use DENUE Scraper? - **Official source** — Pulls directly from INEGI's DENUE API, the same database used by the Mexican government for economic census and planning. - **Geo-ready output** — Every record includes latitude and longitude coordinates, so you can map results immediately without a geocoding step. - **Free token, no scraping friction** — The INEGI token takes 60 seconds to obtain and is genuinely free, which puts this dataset in a different category from most paid business directories. # 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. ## `apiToken` (type: `string`): Your free INEGI DENUE API token.
