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 ## Poland KNF Financial Registry Scraper | Rejestr KNF Verify whether payment institutions, e-money issuers, lending companies, and credit intermediaries are properly licensed by Poland's financial supervisor - across 75,000+ entities in three KNF registries that have no public API. ### Quick Start Click **Try it** and paste this input: ```json { "registry": "all", "name": "PayU" } ```` ### Sample Output ```json { "name": "PayU S.A.", "registryNumber": "IP1/2012", "nip": "5213103635", "entityType": "PSD_PI", "entityTypeLabel": "Domestic payment institution", "status": "Wpisany", "address": "ul.

Ten aktor umozliwia automatyczne przeszukiwanie **rejestrow KNF** - Komisji Nadzoru Finansowego - obejmujacych trzy kluczowe bazy: rejestr instytucji platniczych i pieniadza elektronicznego (e-rup), rejestr posrednikow kredytowych i instytucji pozyczkowych (rpkip) oraz **rejestr lombardow** (rdl). Zaden z tych rejestrow nie udostepnia publicznego API. Ten aktor odpytuje wewnetrzne endpointy JSON portali KNF i zwraca dane w ustrukturyzowanym formacie - umozliwiajac **weryfikacje licencji KNF** bez recznego przeszukiwania trzech osobnych portali. #### Dla kogo? Narzedzie jest przeznaczone przede wszystkim dla **dzialow compliance** w bankach i instytucjach finansowych, ktore musza weryfikowac, czy dany podmiot posiada wymagane zezwolenie KNF. Korzystaja z niego **firmy fintechowe** sprawdzajace status regulacyjny partnerow i konkurentow, specjalisci ds. compliance realizujacy procedury KYC/AML, analitycy ryzyka kredytowego oceniajacy instytucje pozyczkowe, a takze prawnicy i kancelarie prawne weryfikujace legalnosc dzialalnosci finansowej klientow. #### Co mozna sprawdzic? Aktor obsluguje wyszukiwanie po nazwie podmiotu lub NIP w trzech rejestrach jednoczesnie. Mozesz filtrowac wyniki po typie podmiotu - **instytucje platnicze**, instytucje pieniadza elektronicznego, SKOK-i, **posrednicy kredytowi**, **instytucje pozyczkowe**, posrednicy hipoteczni czy operatorzy lombardow. Mozesz tez wyeksportowac caly rejestr do wlasnej bazy danych. Kazdy wynik zawiera nazwe, NIP, numer rejestrowy, adres, status wpisu oraz date rejestracji. #### Jak zaczac? Uruchom aktora na platformie Apify, podajac nazwe firmy, NIP lub wybrany typ podmiotu. Dla **compliance KNF** mozesz zintegrowac go ze swoim systemem przez Apify API i automatycznie weryfikowac licencje podmiotow finansowych. Brak subskrypcji - w odroznieniu od komercyjnych dostawcow danych regulacyjnych, takich jak MGBI czy Transparent Data, placisz wylacznie za faktyczne uzycie, co sprawdza sie szczegolnie przy jednorazowych weryfikacjach i projektach proof-of-concept. ### Limitations - **Insurance intermediaries** (rpu.knf.gov.pl) are not covered - that portal is protected by reCAPTCHA - Results depend on KNF's data freshness - registries are updated by KNF staff - Entity detail pages (services, agents, branches) are not fetched in this version *** ### Rejestry KNF - instytucje platnicze i posrednicy kredytowi Eksport danych z rejestrów Komisji Nadzoru Finansowego (KNF). Instytucje platnicze, wydawcy pieniadza elektronicznego, posrednicy kredytowi, firmy pozyczkowe i lombardy. Wyszukiwanie po nazwie, NIP lub typie podmiotu. Ponad 75 000 podmiotów. Eksport zbiorczy do JSON. Bez wymaganej autoryzacji. # Actor input Schema ## `registry` (type: `string`): Which KNF registry to search. e-rup = payment/e-money institutions (~17k entities), rpkip = credit intermediaries & lending institutions (~58k entities), rdl = pawnbroking activities (~250 entities), all = search all three. ## `name` (type: `string`): Search by entity/company name (partial match, case-insensitive) ## `nip` (type: `string`): Search by Polish Tax Identification Number (NIP) — exact match ## `entityType` (type: `string`): Filter by entity type code. e-rup: PSD\_PI, PSD\_EMI, PSD\_ENL, PSD\_EPI@BP, PSD\_EPI@MIP, PSD\_AISP, PSD\_AG, PSD\_BR. rpkip: RPH, RPK, RHA, RIP.
