  "nationality": null,

  "address_country": "United Kingdom",
  "ownership_percentage_range": "75-100%",
  "nature_of_control": [
    "ownership-of-shares-75-to-100-percent",
    "voting-rights-75-to-100-percent",

💰 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).
PSC Record (apify-default-dataset-item)	$0.05	Charged per UK PSC beneficial ownership 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.

🔑 API key

The Companies House REST API requires a free API key. Supply it as companyHouseApiKey, or have COMPANIES_HOUSE_API_KEY configured on the Actor. Without a key the run finishes with 0 rows, a message naming the field, and no charge. Register at https://developer.company-information.service.gov.uk.

▶️ Example input

  "maxResults": 25

Listed PLCs whose voting shares trade on a UK regulated market (e.g. Tesco PLC, 00445790) are PSC-exempt and return no rows.

Point Claude, the OpenAI Agents SDK, an n8n flow or any MCP-aware client at it and pull official records on demand.

Agentic payments (x402): Supports agentic payment via x402 — agents can pay for the actor in USDC (a free Companies House API key is still needed for the data source).
