Peru SUNAT RUC Scraper

Peru SUNAT RUC Scraper

Look up Peruvian taxpayer records by RUC number, up to a million per run. Each record returns the legal name, tax status, address, and economic activities. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

SUNAT's public RUC lookup portal is slow for batch work and blocks automated queries. This actor reads the official taxpayer registry directly, accepts a list of 11-digit RUC numbers, and returns each matching record in a fixed schema. It handles the CAPTCHA and session management so you get clean data at scale.

Accounts payable teams	Validate RUC numbers on invoices to ensure they are active and correct.

Troubleshooting

The actor returns fewer records than the RUC numbers I provided.

Check that all RUC numbers are exactly 11 digits and contain no spaces or dashes. Also verify that your maxItems setting is high enough to cover your entire list.

The run fails with a timeout error.

The SUNAT website can be slow during peak hours. Try increasing the run timeout in your actor settings, or split a very large list into smaller batches.

Some fields are empty in the output.

SUNAT does not always populate every field for every taxpayer. An empty field means the information was not present in the registry for that RUC.

I get a CAPTCHA error even though the actor is supposed to handle it.

SUNAT occasionally changes its CAPTCHA implementation. If the error persists, try reducing the run speed or contact support with a sample RUC that triggered the issue.
