## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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

### Belgium KBO Company Scraper — Directors, VAT & NACE Codes

Scrape any **Belgian company** from the official **KBO/BCE** register (Crossroads Bank for
Enterprises / Kruispuntbank van Ondernemingen / Banque-Carrefour des Entreprises) by
enterprise number — enterprise name, KBO number, legal form, status, registered address,
start date, functions (directors / founders), characteristics (VAT, employer, registration
status), VAT and NSSO NACE-BEL activity codes, and official external links. Powered by the
Neuralverge API. **No API key, login or registration required**, and **you only pay for
companies we actually find**. Structured JSON — export to CSV, JSON or Excel.

Ideal for **KYB / company verification, due diligence, KYC/AML, merchant and vendor
onboarding, Belgian lead generation** and feeding official registry data to AI agents.

### ✨ Why this Actor

- 💸 **Pay only for the companies you get** — unresolved numbers are skipped and never
  billed. Misses are free.
- 🔓 **No API key, no registration** — the Belgian KBO register, structured for you.
- 🏛️ **Official source, full profile in one row** — identity, functions, characteristics,
  VAT/NSSO NACE codes and external links, flattened into spreadsheet-ready columns and kept
  in full as structured JSON.
- ⚡ **Real-time & AI-structured** — fresh data each run and one predictable schema.

### 🔧 How it works

1. **Provide a Belgian enterprise number** (ondernemingsnummer), e.g. `725609983` (with or
   without dots).
2. **Run the Actor.** Fetching and AI-structuring the profile happen on the Neuralverge
   backend.
3. **Get one dataset row per company.** Export to CSV, JSON or Excel, or pull it over the
   Apify API.

If the company can't be resolved, it's logged and **skipped without charge**.

### Input

One company per run.

| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `companyNumber` | string | The enterprise number, e.g. `725609983` (dots are stripped). |
| `companyUrl` | string | Optional. A full KBO public-search URL, used instead of the number. |
| `countryCode` | string | Geo-routing code (advanced, default `us`). |

```json
{
  "companyNumber": "725609983"
}
````

### What you'll receive

Each row includes, when available on the profile:

- **Identity** — `enterprise_name`, `kbo_number`, `legal_form`, `status`, `address`,
  `start_date`
- **People** — `functions` (name, role, start date) with `functionsCount`
- **Classification** — `characteristics` (+ flat `characteristicsText`), `vat_activities`
  and `nsso_activities` (NACE-BEL codes, + flat `vatActivitiesText`),
  `entrepreneurial_skills`, `authorisations`
- **More** — `financial_information`, `entity_links`, `external_links`
- **Meta** — `query`, `companyNumber`, `scrapedAt`, the markdown summary under `human`, and
  the complete response under `raw`

#### Example output (real run)

Real, unabridged response from a live run of **AVO BMW (0725.609.983)** (5 points, ~21s):

> The Actor flattens the identity fields (`enterprise_name`, `kbo_number`, `legal_form`,
> `status`, `address`, `start_date`) to the top level, adds `functionsCount`,
> `characteristicsText` and `vatActivitiesText`, and keeps every section plus the full
> `human` and `raw` response.

### Pricing

Pay per result — **$0.005 per company** ($5 per 1,000) returned to the dataset. **You pay
only for companies returned — misses are free.**

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

Enterprise numbers that can't be resolved 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 to give an AI agent live Belgian company-registry data
for KYB and verification.

### FAQ

**Do I need a KBO account or API key?** No. Fetching and structuring run on the Neuralverge
backend — you never provide credentials or keys.

**Am I charged if a company isn't found?** No. You're billed only for rows returned to the
dataset.

**What identifier do I use?** The Belgian enterprise number (ondernemingsnummer), e.g.
`725609983` — dots are optional.

**Is the data official?** Yes — it comes from the KBO/BCE public register maintained by the
Belgian FPS Economy.

**How fresh is the data?** Each run fetches the profile at run time.
