Taiwan Company Registry Scraper: MOEA UBN Lookup

Search Taiwan's official company register by name or Unified Business Number: status, capital, address, setup date and business scope codes. $1.50 per 1,000 companies.

Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs publishes the company register as open data: every company limited and company limited by shares, with its Unified Business Number (UBN), capital, address and registered business activities. Few tools outside Taiwan cover it.

Quick start

1. Press Start. The form is already filled with this example input, so the first run returns real rows in under a minute:

{
  "companyNames": [
    "半導體"
  ],
  "maxResults": 20
}

2. Swap in your own values, or call the Actor through the Apify API, Make, Zapier, n8n or the Python/JS clients with the same JSON.
3. Download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel from the Output tab, or schedule the run to repeat.

FAQ

Where does the data come from? From the official MOEA Department of Commerce open data API (data.gcis.nat.gov.tw), free and without registration.

Is any personal data included? The responsible person (company representative) is never output. Sole proprietorships and business registrations of individuals are not part of this register. Every row is a company.

How fresh is it? Live. The MOEA updates the register daily.

Can I get only new records each day? Yes. Use the date window input and schedule the Actor; each run returns what is new in that window.

Is it legal?
