🧾 JSON sample record

One real record from run rCsVEyToAOsRP7azt (emails/phones masked, long text shortened):

{
  "name": "TAYLOR, Christopher Jon",
  "role": "secretary",
  "date_of_birth_partial": null,
  "nationality": null,
  "occupation": null,
  "country_of_residence": null,
  "appointed_on": "2025-04-14",
  "resigned_on": null,
  "company_name": "TESCO PLC",
  "company_number": "00445790",
  "address": "Tesco House, Shire Park, Kestrel Way, Welwyn Garden City, AL7 1GA, United Kingdom",
  "data_source": "Companies House REST API (api.company-information.service.gov.uk)"
}

💰 Pricing

Event	Price (USD)	When it is charged
Actor Start (apify-actor-start)	$5e-05	Charged when the Actor starts running. Number of events charged depends on Actor memory (one event per GB, minimum one event).
Officer (apify-default-dataset-item)	$0.05	Charged per UK Companies House officer record returned

Pay-per-event: you pay only for what the run delivers. A run that delivers nothing bills no result events (only the actor-start event, when the actor defines one). Example: a run that delivers 100 results costs 100 × $0.05 = $5.00 plus the start fee.

⚡ Works out of the box

No setup required — this actor ships with a built-in Companies House key, so it runs live against the full UK register immediately (soft-capped at 200 officer rows per run). For high-volume or scheduled monitoring, bring your own free key and run uncapped: register at developer.company-information.service.gov.uk (~2 minutes — create an application, generate a REST key in the Live environment) and paste it into companyHouseApiKey. Existing saved runs that already pass a key keep working exactly as before.
