## 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.

## UK Companies House Company Profile Scraper

Fetch official UK Companies House company profile records by company number and export clean KYB-ready rows.

This actor is built for UK company lookup, supplier verification, sales enrichment, procurement diligence, and AI-agent workflows that need official Companies House data without maintaining a custom API integration. It returns structured company rows that can feed CRM enrichment, onboarding checks, account research, dashboards, or Apify MCP tools.

### What it extracts

- Company name, number, status, category, and country of origin
- Incorporation date and registered address
- SIC codes and previous company names
- Accounts due dates, last accounts date, and account category
- Confirmation statement dates where available
- Official Companies House source URL and raw source payload

### Use cases

- UK supplier and customer KYB checks
- CRM enrichment from UK company numbers
- Vendor onboarding and procurement diligence
- Company status monitoring
- UK company-data pipelines for agents, enrichment tools, and dashboards
- Build UK business datasets for sales, credit, compliance, and market mapping
- Join Companies House profile rows into sanctions, FCA, VAT, and procurement due-diligence workflows

### Agent And Automation Use

The actor accepts simple company-number inputs and returns predictable structured rows with company status, address, SIC codes, accounts dates, confirmation statement dates, and source metadata. Use it as a scheduled company monitor or as an AI-agent tool for UK KYB, supplier checks, and account enrichment.
