## Pricing

Pay per event

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

## 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

## Dominican Republic Company Finder: RNC, ISIC activity, MSME size

**By [LatSouth](https://latsouth.com).** Search **80,939 Dominican legal entities with an RNC**: every company registered
as a **state supplier** (DGCP, Registro de Proveedores del Estado) or **certified as an MSME** (MICM). Filter by **ISIC
Rev.4 activity, size (Ley 187-17), legal form, incorporation date and status**, and get RNC, legal name and English
industry labels in the LatSouth schema.

Company data only: natural persons (cédulas), gender and occupation fields are never read; no e-mail, phone, address,
owners or legal representatives. E.I.R.L. (single-owner) names are masked as `***`.

| | |
|---|---|
| Rows | 80,939 RNCs · **36,593** active, private, not sole-owner (the default filters) |
| Data as of | DGCP supplier registry 2026-07-15 · MICM certificates 2026-10-02 |
| Price | US$0.003 per company returned: **1,000 companies = US$3** |

**Coverage is not the whole RNC register**: it is the companies that registered to sell to the State or certified as
micro, small or medium enterprises. The DGII full RNC list is published for non-commercial use only, so it is not used.

### Coverage (default filters = 36,593 companies)

| Field | Companies |
|---|---:|
| ISIC division (from the MICM activity text) | 13,851 |
| Size class (micro / small / medium / large) | 16,856 |
| Incorporation date (declared to the supplier registry) | 18,944 |

Top divisions: wholesale (46) 3,259 · retail (47) 1,312 · food service (56) 1,308 · construction of buildings (41) 1,280 ·
civil engineering (42) 897 · architecture and engineering (71) 749. Status of all rows: active supplier registration
37,824 · outdated registration 34,341 · MSME certificate valid 722 / expired 5,202 · inactive, suspended, cancelled or
disqualified 2,850.

### Input examples

The Console form is prefilled with `{"isic_divisions": ["46"], "max_results": 10}`.

```json
{ "isic_divisions": ["41", "42", "43"], "size_class": ["medium", "large"] }
```

```json
{ "activity_codes": ["4711"], "only_active": false }
```

| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| `isic_sections`, `isic_divisions`, `activity_codes` | ISIC Rev.4 letter / division / class (combined with OR) |
| `keyword` | Substring in the English activity label or the legal name |
| `legal_forms` | `llc_like` (S.R.L.), `corp_like` (S.A., S.A.S., C. por A.), `nonprofit`, `joint_venture`, `coop`, ... |
| `size_class` | `micro`, `small`, `medium`, `large`, `unknown` (Ley 187-17 classification) |
| `registered_after`, `registered_before` | On the incorporation date |
| `only_active` | Default **true**: active supplier registration or valid MSME certificate (rows with no recent status are left out) |
| `exclude_public_sector`, `exclude_sole_owner` | Default **true** |
| `sort_by` | `size_desc` (default), `registration_date_desc`, `registration_date_asc`, `tax_id` |

### Output

`tax_id` (RNC, 9 digits), `tax_id_formatted` (`1-30-14136-3`), `legal_name`, `legal_form`, `legal_form_normalized`,
`is_active`, `status` (`rpe_active`, `rpe_outdated`, `rpe_inactive`, `rpe_suspended`, `rpe_cancelled`,
`rpe_disqualified`, `msme_certificate_valid`, `msme_certificate_expired`), `sector`, `activity_code_local` (the ISIC code
derived from the MICM text), `activity_label_en`, `isic_section` / `isic_division` / `isic_class` with English labels,
`size_bracket`, `size_class`, `registration_date`, `data_as_of`, `source`, `source_license`.

### Sources, licence and attribution

### Limitations

- Coverage = state suppliers + certified MSMEs (about 40% of the ~201k active company RNCs).
- No address or province is published by these sources.
- ISIC comes from MICM's free-text activity (manual table for the most frequent texts, then exact / prefix / token match
  to the ISIC-based CLAE labels with the same head verb); rows registered only as suppliers have no activity.

### Pricing

Pay per event: `company-result`, **US$0.003** per company row returned (1,000 = US$3). Set a maximum cost per run and the
actor stops when it is reached (`OUTPUT.stopped_by_budget`).

  "isic_divisions": [
    "46"
  ],

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {

```

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).
