The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

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". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README > Look up Czech and Slovak companies by IČO. One structured JSON record per company. No API key. ### What it does For every IČO on input, the Actor returns one JSON record per company with: - Identification — current and historical name, legal form, registration and dissolution dates, tax IDs (DIČ, IČ DPH). - Address — full text plus parsed street, ZIP, city, region, district. - Classification — NACE code with description, additional NACE codes, file number (spisová značka), employee category where reported. - Statutory body — role, name, date of birth, address, date the office began. - Shareholders / members — name, IČO, address, list of stakes (investment, paid percent, fraction, type). - Financials — revenue, profit, assets, equity, currency, registered capital. - Multi-year financial history — up to 5 years of revenue, profit, assets, liabilities and total revenue. - Business activities — trade licence and list of registered activities. - Risk flags — insolvency, debts, temporary protection. - VAT status and registry status across multiple public registries. - Data freshness timestamps so you can audit how recent every record is. ### Coverage by subject type Verified on an 11-subject test of real companies: | Subject | Identification + address + NACE | Statutory body | Shareholders | Latest financials | Multi-year history | Risk flags | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | 🇨🇿 a.s. (joint-stock company) | yes | yes (board) | — | registered capital | — | yes | | 🇨🇿 s.r.o. (limited liability) | yes | yes (executives) | yes, with stakes | registered capital | — | yes | | 🇨🇿 nadace, SVJ, spolek (foundation, HOA, association) | yes | yes (committee, council) | — | — | — | yes | | 🇨🇿 university, ministry, public sector | yes | — | — | — | — | yes | | 🇸🇰 a.s., s.r.o. | yes | — | — | revenue, profit, assets, equity | up to 5 years | yes | | 🇸🇰 nadácia and other entities | yes | — | — | — | — | yes | ### Input ```json { "icos": ["35757442", "04788290", "31322832"], "country": "auto", "maxConcurrency": 5, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } } ```` In auto mode each IČO is queried for both countries, so the run makes roughly twice as many requests. Setting `country` to `"cz"` or `"sk"` halves the request count and avoids cases where the same 8-digit IČO exists in both countries as a different company (for example 45274649 = ČEZ in CZ and ABC servis in SK). ### Output One JSON record per company. The full dataset is downloadable as JSON, JSONL, CSV, XLSX, HTML, or XML. The Output tab in Apify Console shows four prebuilt views: **Overview**, **Finance**, **Directors & shareholders**, **Red flags**. ### FAQ **Why is a record missing for a specific IČO?** Either the IČO does not exist or the lookup did not succeed (returns a `null` name). Open an Issue with the IČO. # Actor input Schema ## `icos` (type: `array`): Business identifiers to look up. Both CZ and SK use 8-digit IČO; missing leading zeros are padded automatically ("151700" → "00151700"). Identifiers that do not exist in any queried registry simply produce no record (no error). ## `country` (type: `string`): CZ and SK both use 8-digit IČO and some numbers exist in both countries as different companies (e.g. 45274649 = ČEZ, a. s. in CZ and ABC - servis, s. r. o. in SK). In auto mode the Actor stores both records and the consumer must filter by country. Setting cz or sk halves the request count and avoids these collisions. ## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`): How many IČOs to process in parallel. Higher values run faster but increase the chance of triggering rate limits at the source. The Actor was tested at concurrency 3 (local) and 5 (Apify cloud with residential proxy) without issues. ## `maxRequestRetries` (type: `integer`): Number of retries on transient errors (network, 5xx, 429). The Actor uses exponential backoff and honours the Retry-After header where the server provides one. ## `requestTimeoutSecs` (type: `integer`): Maximum time for a single HTTP request. CZ requests use an internal 3× multiplier because they include a browser render step. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Default uses the RESIDENTIAL group. IP rotation per request reduces the chance of triggering per-IP rate limits at the queried public registries. For local development without Apify Proxy access, set useApifyProxy: false. ## Actor input object example ```json { "icos": [ "35757442", "04788290", "31322832" ], "country": "auto", "maxConcurrency": 5, "maxRequestRetries": 3, "requestTimeoutSecs": 30, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `dataset` (type: `string`): One row per IČO (or two rows when an auto-mode IČO collision exists in both registries). # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
