## 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".

## 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).

## EU Company Intelligence (MCP)

### What does EU Company Intelligence do?

Pass an EU company name or registration number and get back a structured company card from the best-available registry: **UK Companies House** (most coverage, requires free PAT), **Belgium KBO** (HTML scrape), or **Wikidata SPARQL** (universal fallback for all EU countries). Returns identity, directors, status, address, NACE/SIC codes, and incorporation date in a single MCP-friendly schema.

> Free baseline (Wikidata, BE KBO scrape). UK PAT is free + instant signup at `developer.company-information.service.gov.uk` and unlocks rich UK data. For French companies use `fr-company-intelligence-mcp` (the dedicated FR actor).

### Why use it from an AI agent?

- **Multi-source routing** - the actor picks the right registry based on input shape (UK CH number, KBO number, or free-text name).
- **Wikidata fallback** - no dedicated connector exists for DE / IT / ES / NL / IE / AT registries (all gated behind paid APIs), so Wikidata serves as universal coverage.
- **One schema** - all registries normalize to the same `EuCompanyCard` shape, so the agent doesn't branch on country.
- **Tight payload** - identity + directors + address in one call, no nested registry-specific JSON.

### Modes & routing

There's no explicit mode field - the actor auto-routes based on input:

| Input shape | Country hint | Path |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 8-digit / SC123456 / NI123456 | `UK` or auto | UK Companies House direct lookup |
| 10-digit (`0859039965`, `0859.039.965`) | `BE` or auto | Belgium KBO direct lookup |
| Free-text name | `UK` | UK Companies House search |
| Free-text name | `BE` | Wikidata (KBO public form name search is unreliable) |
| Free-text name | empty (auto) | UK CH if PAT present, else Wikidata |
| Free-text name | `DE`/`IT`/`ES`/`NL`/`IE`/`AT` | Wikidata SPARQL |

### Examples

```json
{ "query": "06989966" }
````

UK CH direct number lookup.

```json
{ "query": "Revolut", "country": "UK" }
```

UK CH search by name (requires PAT).

```json
{ "query": "0859.039.965", "country": "BE" }
```

Belgium KBO direct lookup.

```json
{ "query": "BMW AG", "country": "DE" }
```

Wikidata fallback for Germany.

### Output schema

```json
{
    "meta": {
        "query": "Revolut",
        "country": "UK",
        "scrapedAt": "2026-05-08T15:00:00Z",
        "source": "uk_companies_house"
    },

        "wikidataUrl": null
    }
}
```

### UK Companies House PAT

Free, immediate signup at `https://developer.company-information.service.gov.uk/`. No special scopes required - any read PAT works for public company data.

Two ways to provide it:

1. Per-call via `ukCompaniesHouseToken` input (encrypted by Apify).
2. Operator-scoped via `UK_COMPANIES_HOUSE_TOKEN` env var.

Without a PAT the actor still works for non-UK queries via Wikidata + KBO.

### Pricing (PPE)

| Mode | Price per call |
| --- | --- |
| All paths | $0.001 actor start + $0.005 EU company card = **$0.006/call** |

### Coverage by country (v0.1)

| Country | Path | Quality |
| --- | --- | --- |
| UK | UK Companies House (free, PAT-gated) | Excellent (full directors, filings, history) |
| BE | KBO HTML scrape | Good (identity + status + NACE) |
| DE | Wikidata | Identity-level (name, founded, HQ, industry) |
| IT | Wikidata | Identity-level |
| ES | Wikidata | Identity-level |
| NL | Wikidata (KvK gated) | Identity-level |
| IE | Wikidata (CRO paid) | Identity-level |
| AT | Wikidata | Identity-level |
| FR | **Use fr-company-intelligence-mcp instead** | n/a |

### Limits

- **Wikidata** only has data for companies notable enough to be on Wikipedia/Wikidata (~30k EU companies). For SMBs and recent startups outside UK/BE, expect `not_found`.
- **Belgium KBO scrape** is HTML-based; if KBO changes their template the parser breaks until updated.
- **UK Companies House PAT** rate-limit: 600 requests per 5 minutes. Reasonable for agent loops.
- **No FR coverage** - delegate to the dedicated `fr-company-intelligence-mcp` actor.

### Pairs naturally with

- `fr-company-intelligence-mcp` for French companies (covers what this actor doesn't)
- `web-company-intelligence-mcp` for web fingerprint / tech stack on the same company's domain
- `domain-intelligence-mcp` for domain registration data

### Sources, freshness, legality

- **UK Companies House** - official UK government registry, public open data API.
- **Wikidata** - Wikimedia's open knowledge base, CC0 licensed.
- **KBO** - Belgian official enterprise registry, public consultation portal.
- All data exposed is publicly available regulatory information. No personal data beyond what's already published in the public registers.

# Actor input Schema

## `query` (type: `string`):

Free-text company name (e.g. 'Stripe Payments UK'), UK Companies House number ('06989966'), or BE KBO/CBE number ('0859.039.965' or '0859039965').

## `country` (type: `string`):

Constrain the lookup to a specific country. Empty = best-effort across all sources.

## `ukCompaniesHouseToken` (type: `string`):

Optional. Free at https://developer.company-information.service.gov.uk/. Lifts rate limit from 600/5min to higher. Without it, UK lookup still works at lower rate.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "query": "Revolut",
  "country": ""
