Who it's for

• Sales teams entering Peru: "IT companies in Lima with 50+ workers", "manufacturers in Arequipa", "logistics companies in Callao".
• Market sizing: OUTPUT.total_matching counts the segment even if you pull a sample.

Legal name and address come from SUNAT's Padrón Reducido RUC (no declared licence; used as enrichment and flagged in source). Keep this credit (each row's source holds it):

Fuente: SUNAT, Padron RUC (datosabiertos.gob.pe), periodo 202609, publicado 2026-09-30, licencia ODC-BY 1.0. Datos transformados (solo RUC 20, normalizacion, ISIC en ingles); no es un producto oficial de la SUNAT. Razon social y direccion: SUNAT, Padron Reducido RUC del 2026-10-22 (enriquecimiento).

Limitations

• No registration date: SUNAT's open files do not publish when a RUC was created, so there is no date filter or sort.
• is_importer / is_exporter are SUNAT's own Padrón RUC flags (declared foreign-trade activity), not customs volumes.
• Size is known for 42% of active companies (only when SUNAT publishes a workers bracket).
• EIRL (empresa individual de responsabilidad limitada, a third of RUC 20) have masked names and are excluded by default.
• No trade name, e-mail, phone or website is published.

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). Full files and custom segments: https://latsouth.com/data/peru/.
