Australia ASIC Scraper
Scrape Australian company and business name data from ASIC and ABR, up to a million records per run. Every result comes with its registration details, status, and identifiers. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
ASIC's official registers are spread across multiple search pages and rate-limited. This reads the public company and business name search directly, filtered by name or number, and returns each match in one fixed schema.

| Compliance teams | Verify a supplier or partner's registration status before signing |

Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
The query may be too specific or misspelled. Try a shorter name or a known ACN/ABN. Also check that maxItems is at least 1.
The run is slow.
Large maxItems values mean many requests. Reduce the maximum or run on a higher-memory Apify plan.
Some fields are empty in the output.
Not every company has every field populated on the public register. Empty fields mean the data was not available for that entity.
I get an error about the input.
Make sure query is a string and maxItems is an integer between 1 and 1,000,000. The input editor will flag invalid values.
FAQ
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What data does this Actor return? | It returns the fields shown in the sample record, typically including the company name, ACN or ABN, registration status, type, and dates. The exact fields are listed in the dataset preview. |
| Can I search by ABN or ACN? | Yes. Put the number in the query field and the Actor will search the register for that identifier. |
| Is there a rate limit? | The Actor reads the public search pages and manages request pacing. If you need very large volumes, run it on the Apify platform where it scales automatically. |
| Do I need an ASIC account? | No. The Actor uses the public search interface, so no login or API key is required. |
| What is the difference between ASIC and ABR? | ASIC is the corporate regulator and holds company and business name registers. ABR is the Australian Business Register, which includes ABN details. This Actor searches both through the same query. |
| Can I export the results? | Yes. The dataset can be downloaded as CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML from the Apify run page. |
| How many records can I get in one run? | You set the maximum with the maxItems input, up to 1,000,000 records per run. |
| Does it return historical data? | It returns the current register entry as shown on the public search. Historical changes are not included. |
| Can I schedule this Actor? | Yes. On Apify you can set a schedule to run it daily, weekly, or at any interval, and get fresh data automatically. |
| What if my query returns no results? | Check the spelling or try a broader term. The Actor returns an empty dataset if nothing matches, and you can adjust the query and rerun. |
