Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that your enterprise numbers are 10 digits and correctly formatted. Also confirm the companies exist in the KBO/CBE registry.

Why are some fields empty?

Not every Belgian company has all fields populated in the registry. Empty fields mean the registry has no data for that attribute.

Why is the output language not applied to company names?

Company names are always returned in their registered languages. The language setting only affects status labels and field titles.

Why did the run stop early?

Check the maxItems setting. If it is lower than your list length, the Actor stops after that many companies.
