## 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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

# README

### UK Companies House Officers Scraper — Directors & Secretaries (United Kingdom) ✅ No API Key

Get the **officers of any UK (United Kingdom) company** from Companies House by company number — current
and former directors and secretaries, with role, status, appointment/resignation dates,
date of birth, nationality, country of residence and correspondence address. **One clean
row per officer.** Powered by the Neuralverge API. **No API key or account required.**

Ideal for KYC/KYB, due diligence, compliance and mapping company leadership.

### ✨ Why this Actor

- 👥 **One row per officer** — current and former, with role, dates, nationality and
  address, ready for a spreadsheet, CRM or AI pipeline.
- 💸 **Pay only for the officers you get** — an empty result is never billed. Misses are
  free; no empty, billable rows.
- 🔑 **No API key or account** — extraction runs on the Neuralverge backend.
- ⚡ **Real-time & structured** — fresh data each run.

### 🔧 How it works

1. **Provide a UK company number** (e.g. `08804411`) — or an advanced full Companies
   House officers-page URL.
2. **Run the Actor.** Fetching and AI-structuring the officers happens on the Neuralverge
   backend.
3. **Get one dataset row per officer.** Export to CSV, JSON or Excel, or pull it over the
   Apify API.

### Input

One company per run.

| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `companyNumber` | string | The UK Companies House company number, e.g. `08804411`. |
| `companyUrl` | string | Advanced: a full Companies House officers-page URL to use instead of the number. |

```json
{
  "companyNumber": "08804411"
}
````

### What you'll receive

**One dataset row per officer.** Each row is an officer object with `company_number` (the
company it belongs to) plus: `name`, `role`, `status` (`Active` / `Resigned`),
`appointed_on`, `resigned_on` (when applicable), `date_of_birth`, `nationality`,
`country_of_residence`, `occupation` and `correspondence_address` (a nested object).

> **Nulls are normal.** Fields not published for an officer (e.g. `date_of_birth` for a
> corporate secretary, or `resigned_on` for an active officer) come back absent or `null`.

#### Example output (real run)

One officer row from the officers page of company `08804411`, exactly as it appears in the
dataset. A single run of this kind returned 14 officers (current and former) — this is one
of them.

```json
{
  "company_number": "08804411",
  "name": "BRITTON, Caroline Louise",
  "role": "Director",
  "status": "Active",
  "appointed_on": "8 March 2019",
  "date_of_birth": "February 1965",
  "nationality": "British",
  "country_of_residence": "United Kingdom",
  "correspondence_address": {
    "street_address": "30 South Colonnade",
    "locality": "London",
    "country": "United Kingdom",
    "postal_code": "E14 5HX"
  }
}

```

> Genuine output from a live run — one director with role, dates, nationality and
> correspondence address.

### Pricing

Pay per result — **$0.005 per officer** ($5 per 1,000) returned to the dataset. **You pay
only for officers returned — an empty result is free.**

| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| Actor start | Free |
| Officer returned (per dataset row) | **$0.005** |

Companies with no officers found are **not billed**. Pricing is on top of your Apify
platform usage.

### Integrations & API

Results are stored in a standard Apify dataset — export as CSV, JSON, XML or Excel,
or fetch on demand through the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api). The Actor
also plugs into Apify's integrations (Make, Zapier, n8n, webhooks) and can be called
from any [MCP](https://mcp.apify.com/) client.

### FAQ

**Do I need an account or API key?** No. Extraction runs on the Neuralverge backend.

**Does it include former officers?** Yes — current and resigned officers are both
returned, distinguished by the `status` field.

**Am I charged if there are no officers?** No. You're billed only for officers returned
to the dataset.
