## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Korea Financial Company Lookup (금융위원회 금융회사 기본정보)

Look up **South Korean financial companies** — banks, securities firms, insurers, card and capital companies, savings banks, asset managers, investment advisers and financial holding companies — in the Financial Services Commission's daily **financial company overview** (금융위원회 금융회사기본정보). Search by **Korean or English name**, **corporate registration number** (법인등록번호) or **business registration number** (사업자등록번호) and get an English profile:

- official Korean and English names, corporate and business numbers, **DART company code**
- KOSPI / KOSDAQ listing and delisting dates, stock code
- founding date, fiscal year end, industry code (KSIC), head office address, phone, website
- **employees, average tenure and average salary** from the latest annual report
- **external auditor and audit opinion** (unqualified / qualified / adverse / disclaimer / no exceptions noted)

**No API key or Korean account needed.** One run reads the newest daily snapshot (~1,100 companies) once and matches all your queries against it, so it is fast even for 200 names.

### Typical uses

- **Fintech KYB and correspondent banking** — confirm the legal identity of a Korean bank, broker or insurer counterparty and get its numbers in one call.
- **Compliance and vendor due diligence** — audit opinion, auditor and whether the company record still looks alive (`possiblyInactive`).
- **Data enrichment** — map an English name to the Korean registered name, corporate number and DART code for further filings lookups.
- **AI agents** — "What is the corporate registration number and auditor of Mirae Asset Securities?"

### Input

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `companies` | One per line: Korean or English name (`신한은행`, `KB Securities`), 13-digit corporate registration number (`110111-0012809`) or 10-digit business number. Up to 200 per run. |
| `matchMode` | `exact` (default): the Korean or English name must equal the query, ignoring 주식회사 / (주) / Co., Ltd., spaces and punctuation. `contains`: every company whose name contains the text (e.g. all Shinhan group companies). Numbers always match exactly. |
| `maxResultsPerQuery` | Default 5, up to 50. Each company returned is one charged result; the most recently updated records come first. |

```json
{ "companies": ["신한은행", "Mirae Asset Securities", "110111-0002959"], "matchMode": "exact" }
```

### Output

One item per matched company:

}
```

(The listing-date fields `kospiListedOn`, `kospiDelistedOn`, `kosdaqListedOn`, `kosdaqDelistedOn` are always present and `null` when empty.)

| `status` | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `found` | One item per matched company. |
| `not_found` | No company with this name or number in the list — free. |
| `invalid_input` | Empty line or a number with a wrong check digit or length — free. |
| `lookup_failed` | The official source did not answer; retry later — free. |

### Limitations — what is not included

- **Not a licence register.** The list is the FSC's financial company file built from DART (FSS electronic disclosure) company records. It does not say which licences a firm holds or whether a licence is currently valid — for that, check the FSS Financial Consumer Information Portal (fine.fss.or.kr).
- **Old and merged firms remain.** Names of merged, renamed or dissolved firms stay in the list (for example a pre-merger card company). Results are sorted newest-record first; `possiblyInactive` is `true` when no staff is reported and the record has not changed for 3+ years. A few non-financial group affiliates also appear.
- **Staff, salary and audit fields are often empty.** About 80% of entries — mostly small asset managers, advisers and savings banks — report no employees or salary (returned as `null`, not 0); audit opinions are present for about 15%.
- **Representative (CEO) names are not returned**, by design.
- **Only ~1,100 companies.** Foreign bank branches and many small firms are listed, but this is not every financial business in Korea (no money lenders, P2P or crypto exchanges registry). For general Korean companies use [Korea Business Check](https://apify.com/kr-data/korea-business-verify).
- Addresses, auditor names and Korean names are returned as filed (Korean); dates are as filed by the source, including occasional obvious typos in old listing dates.

### Pricing

Pay per company returned: **$0.003 per company** (`company-record`). Queries not found, invalid inputs and failed lookups are free.

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).
