## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 🇷🇺 RFS Russia Business Registry Scraper

> 🚀 **Export Russia's EGRUL public business registry in seconds. INN, OGRN, official name, CEO, address, activity code, and status straight from the FNS source.**

> 🕒 **Last updated:** 2026-05-29 · **📊 10 fields** per record · Legal entities and sole entrepreneurs · Live FNS data

The RFS Russia Business Registry Scraper queries the [egrul.nalog.ru](https://egrul.nalog.ru/index.html) public EGRUL search and returns one row per matching company. It handles the FNS search token flow and TLS fingerprint validation behind the scenes so you can paste an INN, OGRN, or company name and get clean structured rows back.

Coverage spans every legal entity and sole entrepreneur indexed in EGRUL, Russia's official business registry maintained by the Federal Tax Service (FNS).

| 🎯 Target Audience | 💡 Primary Use Cases |
|---|---|
| 🏛️ Compliance teams | Sanctions and KYC counterparty checks |
| 📰 Investigative journalists | Verify Russian counterparties named in stories |
| 🧑‍⚖️ Lawyers | Confirm legal status and CEO for filings |
| 🤖 Data engineers | Mirror EGRUL into a compliance warehouse |
| 💼 Due diligence | Onboarding new Russian suppliers |
| 🎓 Researchers | Build corporate ownership datasets |

### 📋 What the RFS Russia Business Registry Scraper does

- POSTs a search to the EGRUL public form, retrieves the token, and polls for results.
- Uses a real Chrome TLS fingerprint via impit to pass FNS bot mitigation.
- Returns clean rows with INN, OGRN, name, address, CEO, activity code, registration date, and status.
- Surfaces blockers (captcha, geo-block, timeout) as a clean diagnostic record.

> 💡 **Why it matters:** EGRUL is the only authoritative Russian business registry. Its public site is a Java-applet-era form with TLS fingerprinting that breaks naive HTTP clients. This actor handles the token flow and fingerprint cleanly.

### ⚙️ Input

<table>
<tr><th>Field</th><th>Type</th><th>Required</th><th>Description</th></tr>
<tr><td><code>query</code></td><td>string</td><td>No</td><td>INN, OGRN, or company name.</td></tr>
<tr><td><code>entityType</code></td><td>enum</td><td>No</td><td>ul (legal entity), ip (sole entrepreneur), ulip (both).</td></tr>
<tr><td><code>maxItems</code></td><td>integer</td><td>No</td><td>Free 10, paid up to 1,000,000.</td></tr>
</table>

**Example 1 - Sberbank lookup by INN:**
```json
{ "query": "7707083893", "entityType": "ul", "maxItems": 5 }
````

**Example 2 - Company name search:**

```json
{ "query": "ГАЗПРОМ", "entityType": "ul", "maxItems": 20 }
```

> ⚠️ **Good to Know:** EGRUL can present a captcha under heavy load. When that happens this actor pushes a single diagnostic record instead of failing silently.
