🇸🇬 Singapore ACRA Company Lookup

Look up Singapore entity records by company name or UEN from ACRA's official registry, published as open data on data.gov.sg. Built for analysts, researchers, fintech builders and AI agents.

💵 Pricing

Event	Price
ACRA record returned (primary — one delivered row)	$0.25 — about 4 records per $1
Actor start	$0.01 per run, per GB of memory (minimum 1)

You are charged only for ACRA records actually delivered to the dataset. A search term that matches nothing costs nothing. A run that cannot reach data.gov.sg fails and charges nothing beyond the start fee. Diagnostics never appear as dataset rows.

One search term can match several entities (e.g. "SINGTEL" matches dozens of related companies), and each matched record is one charged row. Use limit to cap how many records a single search term may return.

📊 What you get

One dataset row per matched ACRA entity, with exactly these fields:

Field	Meaning
query	The search term that produced this row
uen	Unique Entity Number
entity_name	Registered entity name
entity_type	e.g. "Local Company", "Business"
status	Registration status, e.g. "Registered", "Deregistered"
registration_date	UEN issue date (ISO)
issuance_agency	Issuing agency, e.g. "ACRA"
reg_street_name, reg_postal_code, address	Registered address as published
primary_ssic_code, primary_ssic_desc, secondary_ssic_code	Always null — see below
source	data.gov.sg/ACRA
scraped_at	UTC timestamp of the lookup

About the SSIC columns: ACRA's public "Entities Registered with ACRA" open dataset — the source this actor reads — does not publish SSIC industry-activity codes. The three SSIC columns are kept in the output so the column set stays stable for warehouse loads, but they are always null. This actor does not return directors, shareholders, paid-up capital, or financial statements; those are behind BizFile+ paid extracts, not in the open dataset.

⚙️ Input

Field	Type	Notes
queries	array or string	Company names or UENs. A list, a single string, or a comma/newline-separated string.
limit	integer	Max records returned per search term, 1–100. Default 20. Each record is one charge.
proxyConfiguration	object	Optional. Defaults to a direct connection, which is what works best against data.gov.sg.

Aliases accepted for queries (never renamed, only added): searches, companies, names, query, company, name.

An empty input ({}) does no work and charges nothing — the run succeeds with 0 rows and a message naming queries.

🚦 How runs end

• Rows delivered — status message reports how many records were returned and charged, how many terms matched nothing, and how many could not be read.
• Nothing matched — the run succeeds with 0 rows and says so. Nothing is charged.
• data.gov.sg unreachable, throttled, moved (HTTP 404 on the dataset id), or its response shape changed — the run FAILS with the cause named. A blocked source is never reported as "no Singapore company matched".
• Run time limit reached — the run stops cleanly before the platform timeout, keeps the rows already delivered, and lists the unprocessed terms in OUTPUT.queries_skipped. Only delivered rows are charged.

Blocked requests are retried up to 3 more times through the Apify residential proxy (Singapore exit), with a fresh session each attempt, before a term is recorded as unreadable.

🤖 Use with AI agents

Structured JSON built for LLM and agent pipelines — point Claude, the OpenAI Agents SDK, an n8n flow, or any MCP-aware client at it.

Look up "SINGTEL" in the Singapore ACRA registry and return each entity's UEN,
entity type and registration status.

Agentic payments (x402): supports agentic payment via USDC.

⏰ Run on a schedule

Re-run a watchlist to catch status changes (e.g. an entity moving to "Struck Off"):

{"queries": ["SINGTEL", "199705563M"], "limit": 20}

The upstream ACRA dataset refreshes monthly, so daily scheduling adds cost without adding freshness — weekly or monthly is the sensible cadence.
