## What's an Apify Actor?
Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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/docs.md):
```bash
npm install apify-client
```
In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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).

Name or CUIT search either way
Legal form & tax status per entity
JSON / CSV / Excel output formats
### Who is it for
| Use case | Who benefits |
|---|---|
| KYB and onboarding | Fintechs and marketplaces verifying an Argentine counterparty's CUIT and tax status |
| Lead enrichment | Sales teams appending legal name, CUIT and entity type to Argentine prospects |
| Due diligence | Analysts confirming legal form and tax registrations before a deal |
| Compliance | Risk teams building an audit trail of taxpayer identity |
### How to use it
1. Add one or more **Company Names** (for example `Mercado Libre`, `YPF`).
2. Or add exact **CUIT / CDI Numbers** to look up specific entities (formatted or digits only).
3. Set **Max Companies To Scrape** and run. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull it through the Apify API.
### Frequently Asked Questions
**Can I search by name and by CUIT in the same run?**
Yes. Add any mix of company names and CUIT/CDI numbers; every entry is searched in a single run and each record is tagged with the query that produced it.
**What is the difference between CUIT, CDI and CUIL?**
They are all Argentine tax identifiers. Companies normally carry a CUIT; a CDI or CUIL may appear for some entities. The **taxIdType** field tells you which one each record uses.
**Does it work for both companies and individuals?**
Yes. The **personType** field distinguishes a juridical person (a company) from a natural person, and **legalForm** is filled in for companies.
**How fresh is the data?**
Every record is read live at run time, so it reflects the registry at the moment of the run (see observedAt).

# Actor input Schema
## `companyNames` (type: `array`):
Company or taxpayer names to search in the Argentine registry. One run searches every name in the list. Example: 'Mercado Libre', 'YPF'.
## `cuitNumbers` (type: `array`):
Exact CUIT or CDI tax id numbers to look up. Accepts formatted (30-70308853-4) or digits only (30703088534).
## `maxCompanies` (type: `integer`):
Maximum number of company records to collect across the whole run.
## `includeRegistrationDetails` (type: `boolean`):
Off by default. When on, also reads each entity's profile to add the incorporation date, registration date, entity age, fiscal locality and the list of active taxes with their start dates. Slower, so best with a smaller Max Companies value.
## `enrichContacts` (type: `boolean`):
Optional paid add-on, off by default. For each result without an email, attempt to find a public business contact email and a contact person's name. Billed per attempt, plus an extra charge only when an email is found.
## `enrichContactsMax` (type: `integer`):
Cap how many results the add-on tries to enrich, to control add-on cost. Leave empty to attempt all. Free Apify accounts are capped at 3.
## Actor input object example
```json
{
"companyNames": [
"Mercado Libre"
],
"cuitNumbers": [],
"maxCompanies": 30,
"includeRegistrationDetails": false,
"enrichContacts": false,
