## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

> **Unofficial.** This Actor is not affiliated with, authorised by, endorsed by, or in any
> way officially connected to Casa dos Dados or Receita Federal do Brasil. "CNPJ" is the registered
> national corporate registry identifier of Brazil. This tool queries public corporate registry data
> made available under Brazilian open government transparency policies.

CNPJ Brasil Scraper extracts verified Brazilian corporate registrations, official Receita Federal status, primary CNAE economic activity classifications, share capital (Capital Social), establishment dates, and official headquarters locations.

### What data can you extract?

- **Corporate Identification:** 14-digit numeric CNPJ and canonical formatted CNPJ (`97.554.306/0001-21`), corporate registered entity name (Razão Social), and commercial brand name (Nome Fantasia).
- **Cadastral & Legal Status:** Official registration status with Receita Federal (`ATIVA`, `BAIXADA`, `INAPTA`, `SUSPENSA`).
- **Economic Classification (CNAE):** Primary 7-digit economic activity code (`cnaeCode`) and official activity title (`cnaeDescription`).
- **Corporate Governance & Structure:** Registered share capital in BRL (`shareCapital`), legal nature classification (e.g. `Sociedade Empresária Limitada`), company size tier (`MEI`, `MICRO EMPRESA`, `EMPRESA DE PEQUENO PORTE`), and headquarters indicator (`isMatriz`).
- **Tax Regimes:** Indicators for Simples Nacional (`isSimplesNacional`) and MEI (`isMei`).
- **Official Commercial Address:** Federation Unit / State (`state`), Municipality (`city`), District (`neighborhood`), Street line (`street`), and Brazilian Postal Code (`zipCode` / CEP).

### Why scrape Brazilian CNPJ Data?

- **B2B Lead Generation & Sales Prospecting:** Filter prospective corporate buyers by exact CNAE vertical, minimum share capital, and Brazilian state (e.g. active technology firms in São Paulo with capital > R$ 50,000).
- **Corporate Due Diligence & KYC:** Verify vendor and supplier legal status, registered headquarters, corporate age, and tax status before onboarding.
- **Zero Personal PII by Design:** Fully compliant with Brazilian LGPD (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados). Strips individual CPF numbers, personal phone numbers, and private emails, returning only public corporate entity records.
- **Predictable Pay-Per-Event (PPE) Pricing:** Pay only for results returned at **$2.00 per 1,000 company records** ($0.002 per item), with platform usage fully absorbed by us.

### How to use

1. Enter target company keywords or trade names in `searchQueries` (e.g. `["tecnologia", "consultoria", "logistica"]`).
2. Select target state in `state` (e.g. `SP`, `RJ`, `MG`, or `ALL` for nationwide lookup).
3. Filter by cadastral status in `status` (`ATIVA`, `BAIXADA`, or `ALL`).
4. Optionally filter by `minCapital`, `maxCapital`, `cnaeCode`, or enable `onlyMatriz`.
5. Configure `maxItems` (default: 50, prefill: 10).
6. Run the Actor and export clean company data to JSON, CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config.
