❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Where does the data come from?

From the Receita Federal public registry, fetched in real time via two complementary public APIs: BrasilAPI as the primary and ReceitaWS as a fallback.

Are partners (QSA) included?

Yes. Each company record includes the full QSA list with name, qualification, entry date, and (where available) age range and masked CPF/CNPJ.

What if a CNPJ does not exist?

The actor pushes a record with an error field set to "CNPJ not found" and continues processing the rest of the list.

Can I lookup by company name?

No. The Receita Federal public APIs only support direct CNPJ lookup. To find CNPJs by name, use a separate Brazilian company directory and feed the resulting CNPJs into this Actor.

Are there rate limits?

The actor uses both BrasilAPI and ReceitaWS; combined, you can process several hundred CNPJs per minute without hitting limits. Larger batches naturally take longer.
