🏛️ Massachusetts Business Registry Scraper

🚀 Export Massachusetts business records in seconds. Up to 16 fields per entity, including status, entity type, formation date, registered agent, principal address, officers and last filing, with no account and no API key.

The Massachusetts Corporations Division lists every corporation, LLC and other filing entity registered in the Commonwealth. This Actor searches that registry by entity name or identification number and returns one flat row per entity: who it is, whether it is active, who the registered agent is, where it sits and who the officers are.

✨ Why choose this Actor

• Official source. Every row comes from the Massachusetts registry itself, not a reseller.
• No account or API key. The registry is public, and the Actor handles the bot shield for you.
• Flat and ready to use. Fixed column order, nested addresses and officers kept as objects, ready for CSV, Excel, JSON or XML.
• Honest limits. One search returns at most 100 matches, the first page at the largest page size the registry offers, so use several specific terms to cover more ground. Mailing address, annual reports and tax number are not shown in the pages the Actor reads, so those columns are not in the output. Dissolved or very old entities often have no agent or officers.
• Fair pricing. Pay per business record, and a run that fails to reach the registry finishes as failed with an error row.

💵 What a run costs

Pay per event. One business record is one result-item event, and every row is charged on its own.

Plan	Per record	Per 1,000 records
Free	$0.006	$6.00
Bronze	$0.005	$5.00
Silver	$0.0045	$4.50
Gold	$0.004	$4.00
Platinum	$0.0036	$3.60
Diamond	$0.0032	$3.20

Each run also pays a small start fee of $0.01 per GB of run memory. The Actor runs with 2 GB, so a start costs $0.02. It pays for the browser that has to clear the registry before the first row.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

🔑 Do I need a Massachusetts account or API key?

No. The registry is public. The Actor opens it in a browser, clears the bot check and runs the search for you.

🔎 What can I search by?

Entity name (for example Boston) or the Massachusetts identification number (for example 001930373). Name search mostly returns names that start with your text, plus a few that match another name on file.

📦 How many records can I export?

Up to 100 entities per search term, because the registry returns one page of results. Run several terms to cover more ground.

🧑‍💼 Does it return officers and the registered agent?

The registered agent is returned for about two entities in three and officers for about three in five in the results we checked. The rest have none on file.

📅 How fresh is the data?

It is read live from the registry at the time of the run, so it is as current as the registry itself.

⏱️ How fast is it?

100 entities with full details take around three minutes, including the time to clear the registry bot check.

🌐 Do I need a proxy?

Yes, and the default already is one. The registry blocks most datacenter traffic, so the Actor opens it from a US residential exit. Leave the default.

🛑 What happens when the registry blocks the run?

The Actor retries, and waits out rate limits. If the registry still does not answer, the run ends as failed with an error row and no records are charged.

🧹 Why do I see "Not Disclosed" in some cells?

It means the registry has no value for that field on that entity. Columns the registry never publishes are left out entirely.

💵 How much does a run cost?

A record costs $0.004 on Gold and $0.006 on the Free plan, plus the start fee of $0.02 per run. A run of 100 records on Gold costs about $0.42.

⚖️ Is this legal?

The Actor reads only information the Massachusetts registry shows to any visitor. Use the data in line with the registry terms and the privacy rules that apply to you, especially for personal names of officers and agents.

🔀 Can the same entity appear twice?

Rarely. The registry can list the same identification number twice for one search, so a repeat is possible. Deduplicate on documentNumber if you need it unique.

🔌 Integrate with any app

Every run writes to an Apify dataset you can read over the REST API, stream into a webhook, or export as CSV, Excel, JSON or XML. Apify's integrations cover Make, Zapier, Airbyte, Slack, Google Drive, GitHub, Google Sheets and plain HTTP webhooks, so the rows land wherever your team already works.
