## 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`).

## Peru Company Finder: SUNAT RUC 20 registry, ISIC, workers

**By [LatSouth](https://latsouth.com).** Search **916,523 Peruvian legal entities** (RUC 20) from SUNAT's Padrón RUC:
filter by **department, province, CIIU / ISIC Rev.4 activity, number of workers, SUNAT condition and importer / exporter
flag**, and get RUC, legal name, legal form, status, address and English industry labels in one clean schema.

Company data only: natural persons (RUC 10) are not in the data; no e-mail, phone, owners or legal representatives.

| | |
|---|---|
| Rows | 916,523 RUCs · **575,502** active, private, not sole-owner (the default filters) |
| Data as of | 2026-09-30 (Padrón RUC, period 202609); names and addresses from the Padrón Reducido of 2026-10-22 |
| Price | US$0.003 per company returned: **1,000 companies = US$3** |
| Typical run | about 5-6 s on the platform (prefilled example 6.5 s; 100 medium/large manufacturers 4.3 s) |

### 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.
- **KYB / list hygiene**: `status` (active, active_not_located, inactive) is SUNAT's own.

### Coverage (measured on the current release, default filters = 575,502 companies)

| Field | Companies | Share |
|---|---:|---:|
| ISIC division and class (CIIU labels matched to ISIC Rev.4) | 567,792 | 98.7% |

| Address | 575,486 | ~100% |
| Department and province | 575,346 | ~100% |
| Active but **not located** (SUNAT "no habido") | 14,197 | 2.5% |
| Importer (`is_importer`, SUNAT foreign-trade flag) | 98,819 | 17.2% |
| Exporter (`is_exporter`) | 80,918 | 14.1% (75,857 both) |

Software and IT services (ISIC division 62): **9,209** companies. Lima 314,925, Arequipa 29,533, La Libertad 28,099.

### Output

LatSouth unified schema (same names as the [LATAM Company Finder](https://apify.com/latsouth/latam-company-finder)):
`tax_id` (RUC), `tax_id_formatted`, `legal_name`, `legal_form` + `legal_form_normalized`, `is_active`, `status`,
`sector`, `activity_code_local` / `activity_label_local`, `activity_label_en`, `isic_section` / `isic_division` /
`isic_class` with English labels, `size_class`, `employees_bracket` / `employees_min` / `employees_max`, `region`
(department), `region_name`, `region_iso`, `city` (province), `address`, `data_as_of`, `source`, `source_license`.

### Sources, licence and attribution

SUNAT Padrón RUC on datosabiertos.gob.pe, **ODC-BY 1.0** (<https://opendatacommons.org/licenses/by/1-0/>): universe,
status, legal form, activity, workers, location. 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:

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).
