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 ## NZ Companies Office Register Scraper Scrape company records from the New Zealand Companies Office register — the official government source for all NZ-registered businesses. Enter search queries (company name, number, or NZBN) and the actor returns full company profiles with KYC-ready data: directors, shareholders, registered office, NZBN, and more. ### What you get | Field | Example | |-------|---------| | `companyNumber` | `104799` | | `nzbn` | `9429040402543` | | `companyName` | `AIR NEW ZEALAND LIMITED` | | `companyStatus` | `Registered` | | `companyType` | `NZ Limited Company` | | `incorporationDate` | `26 Apr 1940` | | `registeredOffice` | `Air New Zealand House, 185 Fanshawe Street, Auckland, 1010` | | `addressForService` | `Air New Zealand House, 185 Fanshawe Street, Auckland, 1010` | | `directors` | `Neal Anthony BARCLAY (appointed 01 May 2025); ...` | | `shareholders` | `THE SOVEREIGN IN RIGHT OF NEW ZEALAND — 1649367765 (51.01%) shares; ...` | | `totalShares` | `3233562033` | | `ultimateHoldingCompany` | `No` | | `annualReturnFilingMonth` | `March` | | `sourceUrl` | Link to the company's detail page | ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |-------|------|---------|-------------| | `queries` | array | `["air new zealand"]` | Search terms — company name, number, or NZBN | | `maxItems` | integer | `10` | Maximum number of company records to return | | `entityStatusGroups` | string | `ALL` | Filter by status: `ALL`, `REGISTERED`, `REMOVED`, `EXTERNAL_ADMINISTRATION` | ### How it works The actor calls the Companies Office JSON search API for each query, then fetches the HTML detail page for each matching company to extract directors, shareholders, and full address data. No authentication or proxy required — the register is fully public. ### Use cases - KYC (Know Your Customer) / supplier verification - Corporate research and due diligence - Director and shareholder network analysis - Enriching company datasets with official NZ register data - Finding all subsidiaries of a holding company ### Rate limits The New Zealand Companies Office is a public government service. This actor paces requests politely (300 ms between detail page fetches) to avoid overloading the service. For large-scale bulk lookups, set `maxItems` to a reasonable limit per run. # 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. ## `queries` (type: `array`): List of search terms — company name, company number, or NZBN. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of company records to return (across all queries). ## `entityStatusGroups` (type: `string`): Filter by entity status: ALL (default), REGISTERED, REMOVED, EXTERNAL_ADMINISTRATION. ## 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...", "queries": [ "air new zealand" ], "maxItems": 10, "entityStatusGroups": "ALL" } ```` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
