Slovakia RPVS Beneficial Owners (UBO) Scraper

Search Slovakia's public beneficial-ownership register - the RPVS (Register partnerov verejného sektora) - by IČO or company name and get clean, structured JSON: the company identity plus its beneficial owners (konečný užívateľ výhod), each flagged with a public-official (PEP) indicator, and the authorised person who filed and verifies the entry. No API key.

Slovakia's RPVS is one of only two genuinely public beneficial-ownership registers in the EU (the other is Poland's CRBR). Every company that takes public money - contracts, subsidies, licences - must disclose its ultimate beneficial owners here. That makes it a high-value, low-noise source for KYC / KYB, UBO discovery, PEP screening and counterparty due diligence.

Why this actor

The register publishes an official open-data API, but the raw OData feed splits each partner across several entities (identity, owners, authorised person) and buries beneficial owners behind a navigation expansion. This actor does the joining for you: send an IČO or a name, get one tidy record per partner with its full beneficial-owner list, PEP flags, and validity dates already resolved.

No key, no setup

Reads the official public open-data API directly. No API key, no CAPTCHA, no proxy. Just send an IČO or a company name.

Pairs with our UBO & debtor actors (the source→screen flow)

This actor sources the ultimate beneficial owners. Chain it with a debtor / insolvency screen on those same people and companies:

• Poland CRBR Beneficial Owners - the same public-UBO register for Poland (RPVS is its Slovak twin).
• Poland KRZ Debtor Registry / Germany Insolvency Register - screen the owners you surface here for bankruptcy and insolvency.

Source the beneficial owners, then check them. That is the KYC/AML pattern the whole suite is built around.

Quick Start

Look up a company's beneficial owners by IČO:

{
  "searchMode": "byIco",
  "icoNumbers": ["35763469"]
}

Search by company name (contains-match):

{
  "searchMode": "byName",
  "searchQuery": "Telekom"
}

Screen several companies at once, keeping only currently-valid entries:

{
  "searchMode": "byIco",
  "icoNumbers": ["35763469", "31322832", "31333532"],
  "currentOnly": true
}

Input

Field	Type	Description
searchMode	string	byIco (default) or byName.
icoNumbers	array	One or more Slovak IČO registration numbers (used in byIco mode).
searchQuery	string	Company name, contains-match (used in byName mode).
exactMatch	boolean	byName: match the name exactly instead of contains. Default false.
currentOnly	boolean	Keep only currently-valid owners/identities (drop historical). Default false.
maxResults	integer	Max partner records to export across all queries. Default 50.

beneficialOwners is an array (a company usually has several). isPublicOfficial per owner and hasPublicOfficial at the partner level are the register's own public-official flag - a first-pass PEP signal. Date of birth is redacted (null) in the public open-data feed.

Common use cases

• KYC / KYB & UBO discovery - resolve the ultimate beneficial owners behind a Slovak counterparty.
• PEP screening - the isPublicOfficial flag surfaces owners the register itself marks as public officials.
• AML source→screen - feed the owners you find here into an insolvency / debtor / sanctions check.
• Procurement & public-money due diligence - see who ultimately benefits from a public-sector partner.

Data source & compliance

• Source: the official RPVS open-data API (rpvs.gov.sk), maintained by the Ministry of Justice of the Slovak Republic. Every record is stamped with its source URL and retrieval timestamp.
• Public records. The RPVS is a public register open to anyone; this actor reads the official open-data feed and logs in to nothing.
• Query-driven - it looks up the IČOs / names you ask for, not a bulk copy of the register.
• Date of birth and other protected personal data are already redacted by the register in the public feed. Use the data lawfully (KYC/AML, due diligence, B2B) and gently.

Notes

• A partner's beneficial owners and identity can change over time; historical entries are included by default (set currentOnly: true to keep only valid ones), each with validFrom / validTo.
