## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Italy Company Registry Scraper — Registro Imprese, PEC, Bilanci

**Turn any Italian company name, VAT number, or REA code into structured registry data.** This scraper pulls company records from [ufficiocamerale.it](https://www.ufficiocamerale.it), the public gateway to Italy's Camera di Commercio (Registro Imprese). Get VAT, REA, legal form, ATECO code, registered address, revenue, profit, share capital, employees, SDI e-invoicing code, and the PEC certified email — one clean row per company.

Search by name, VAT (Partita IVA), or REA — or paste direct company page URLs. Cloudflare and Italy-geolocated proxies are handled for you. JSON or CSV out.

![How Italy Company Registry Scraper works](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/muhamed-didovic/muhamed-didovic.github.io/main/assets/how-it-works-ufficiocamerale.png)

### Why Use This Scraper?

- **Authoritative source.** Data comes straight from ufficiocamerale.it — the public window onto Italy's official Camera di Commercio registry — not a stale data reseller.
- **Financials included, for free.** Revenue (Fatturato), profit (Utile), and share capital (Capitale sociale) are captured directly from the company page, each with its filing year.
- **PEC certified email, decoded.** The PEC address is pulled straight from the page (and de-obfuscated from Cloudflare's email protection) — no separate INI-PEC round-trip required.
- **SDI e-invoicing code.** The `codice destinatario` (Codice Destinatario / SDI) is captured when the company publishes it — ready for electronic invoicing.
- **Cloudflare handled automatically.** The site sits behind Cloudflare bot management; the scraper routes through Italy-exit residential proxies so you never touch proxy or CAPTCHA settings.
- **Pay per result.** One dataset row per company. No padding rows.

### Overview

The Italy Company Registry Scraper is for anyone who needs authoritative Italian company data at scale: KYC/KYB teams, B2B lead generation, credit and due-diligence analysts, and data-enrichment pipelines keyed on VAT.

Each run returns a flat list of company records. You choose companies three ways:

1. **Search** by company name, VAT number, or REA code.
2. **Province filter** (name mode) to narrow results to a single Camera di Commercio.
3. **Direct URLs** — paste exact company page links to skip discovery entirely.

The dataset shape is one JSON object per company, with 25+ fields spanning identity, address, activity classification, financials, certified contact, and e-invoicing.

### Supported Inputs

The actor accepts either a **search** (mode + query) or a list of **direct company URLs**.

**Search modes:**

- `by_name` — matches the company name against company page slugs (e.g. `BCC Felsinea`).
- `by_vat_number` — matches companies whose VAT (Partita IVA) appears in the page slug (e.g. `00159560366`).
- `by_rea_number` — matches companies whose REA number appears in the slug (e.g. `MO-187940`).

**Direct company URLs** look like:

```
https://www.ufficiocamerale.it/1295/bcc-felsinea-banca-di-credito-cooperativo-dal-1902-sc
```

**Not supported:** login-gated visura/bilancio PDFs, the paid "ACQUISTA VISURA / ACQUISTA BILANCIO" reports, and any data behind purchase (directors list, shareholder breakdown, insolvency detail). Those fields are returned as `null` — see the FAQ.

### Use Cases

| Team | What they build |
|------|----------------|
| **KYC / KYB compliance** | Verify company identity, legal form, VAT, and registration before onboarding |
| **B2B sales & lead gen** | Prospect lists filtered by ATECO industry code, province, and company size |
| **Credit & risk analysts** | Screen revenue, profit, share capital, and filing status before extending credit |
| **Due diligence & legal** | Pull authoritative registry identifiers (VAT, REA, CCIAA) for entity mapping |
| **Accounting & tax** | Bulk-retrieve PEC certified emails and SDI codes for invoicing and correspondence |
| **Data enrichment** | Append Italian company attributes to CRM records using VAT as the join key |

### How It Works

1. **Provide a query or direct URLs.** Enter a company name, VAT, or REA code — or paste exact company page URLs to skip discovery.
2. **Company URLs are discovered.** The scraper resolves your query to company page URLs using a public index of the site, then caps the candidate list to your `maxItems`.
3. **Each page is fetched through an Italy residential proxy.** ufficiocamerale.it is behind Cloudflare; the scraper uses Italy-geolocated residential IPs so requests pass, with no proxy setup on your side.
4. **Fields are parsed.** Registry fields (VAT, REA, ATECO, financials, capital, SDI code) come from the server-rendered page and JSON-LD; the PEC certified email is decoded from the page.
5. **One row per company is pushed** to the dataset, honouring your province filter and item cap.

### Input Configuration

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `mode` | string | No | `by_name` | Search mode: `by_name`, `by_vat_number`, or `by_rea_number` |
| `query` | string | \* | — | Company name, VAT number, or REA code, matching `mode` |
| `province` | string | No | — | Two-letter CCIAA province code to filter name-search results (e.g. `MI`, `RM`, `BO`) |
| `directUrls` | array | \* | — | Exact ufficiocamerale.it company page URLs. Overrides `mode`/`query` |
| `maxItems` | integer | No | 10 | Maximum companies to return (1–10,000) |
| `maxConcurrency` | integer | No | 8 | Company pages fetched in parallel |

\* Provide either `query` or `directUrls`.

**Search by name, filtered by province:**

```json
{
  "mode": "by_name",
  "query": "BCC Felsinea",
  "province": "BO",
  "maxItems": 10
}
```

**Direct URL — when you already have the company link:**

```json
{
  "directUrls": [
    "https://www.ufficiocamerale.it/1295/bcc-felsinea-banca-di-credito-cooperativo-dal-1902-sc"
  ],
  "maxItems": 1
}
```

**Lookup by VAT number:**

```json
{
  "mode": "by_vat_number",
  "query": "00602670556",
  "maxItems": 1
}
```

### Output Overview

Each company is one flat JSON object. Fields group into: **identity** (VAT, tax code, REA, legal name/form, status), **address** (registered address plus structured locality/province/postal code), **classification** (ATECO code and description), **financials** (revenue, profit, share capital, employees — each with its year), and **contact & e-invoicing** (PEC certified email, SDI codice destinatario). Fields not published on the free page (or behind the paid visura) are returned as `null`.

### FAQ

**How do I search Italian companies by name?**
Set `mode` to `by_name` and put the company name in `query`. Add a `province` code to narrow results to one Camera di Commercio. Short or common names may match several companies — use `province` or switch to `directUrls`.

**Can I look up a company by VAT number (Partita IVA)?**
Yes, via `by_vat_number` mode — with a caveat: most companies use their name (not their VAT) in the page URL, so VAT lookup only finds companies whose VAT appears in the slug. For guaranteed hits, use `by_name` or supply `directUrls`.

**What is PEC email and why does it matter?**
PEC (Posta Elettronica Certificata) is Italy's certified email system — legally equivalent to registered post for official communications and invoicing. The scraper reads it directly from the company page (decoding Cloudflare's email obfuscation), so you get it without a separate lookup.

**Which fields does the scraper NOT return?**
The full directors list (`amministratori`), shareholder breakdown (`soci`), insolvency detail (`has_insolvency`), and the XBRL bilancio file (`bilancio_xbrl_url`) sit behind ufficiocamerale.it's paid "ACQUISTA VISURA / ACQUISTA BILANCIO" wall and are returned as `null`. Everything on the free public page is captured.

**Do I need to configure proxies?**
No. ufficiocamerale.it is behind Cloudflare, so the scraper uses Italy-geolocated residential proxies automatically. There is nothing to set up.

**How many companies can I scrape per run?**
Up to 10,000 via `maxItems`. Discovery caps the candidate list to what you need.

### 🤖 For AI Agents & LLM Apps

This actor is MCP-friendly. Quick reference for agents calling it via the Apify MCP server or API:

- **Purpose:** Fetch Italian company registry data (VAT, REA, ATECO, financials, PEC) from ufficiocamerale.it.
- **Minimal input that runs:**

```json
{ "mode": "by_name", "query": "BCC Felsinea", "maxItems": 5 }
```

- **Or, if you already have the page URL:**

```json
{ "directUrls": ["https://www.ufficiocamerale.it/1295/bcc-felsinea-banca-di-credito-cooperativo-dal-1902-sc"], "maxItems": 1 }
```

- **Output:** flat JSON rows. Key fields: `vat_number`, `tax_code`, `rea_number`, `cciaa_chamber`, `legal_name`, `legal_form`, `status`, `registered_address`, `ateco_code`, `ateco_description`, `employees_count`, `revenue_eur`, `profit_eur`, `share_capital_eur`, `pec_email`, `codice_destinatario`, `source_url`.
- **Billing:** pay per result (one row per company). Proxies included.
- **Behaviors to know:** `by_vat_number` / `by_rea_number` only match when the identifier is in the page slug — prefer `by_name` or `directUrls` for reliability. Paywalled fields (`amministratori`, `soci`, `has_insolvency`, `bilancio_xbrl_url`) are always `null`.
