## 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.
- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README
## Brazil CNPJ Company Registry Scraper - Partners & Contacts
> Look up any Brazilian company by its CNPJ and get a clean, structured record: legal name, trade name, registration status, main and secondary activities, legal nature, share capital, size, full address, phone, fax, email, tax classification (Simples Nacional and MEI status, income-tax regime history) and the full list of partners and shareholders. Perfect for KYB, lead generation, due diligence and enrichment.
### Who is it for
| Use case | Who benefits |
|---|---|
| KYB and compliance | Teams verifying Brazilian companies and their owners |
| Lead generation | Sales teams enriching accounts with phone, email and activity |
| Due diligence | Analysts checking status, capital and shareholder structure |
| Data enrichment | Anyone appending clean company fields to a CNPJ list |
### How to use it
1. Paste one or more **CNPJ numbers** into the list (digits only or formatted, both work).
2. Optionally use the single **CNPJ** field as a shortcut for one company.
3. Set **Max Items** and run. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull it through the Apify API.
### Frequently Asked Questions
**What is a CNPJ?**
The CNPJ is the 14-digit national registration number of a Brazilian company, similar to a company registration or tax ID. Each CNPJ identifies one establishment (head office or branch).
**Do I get the partners and shareholders?**
Yes. Each record includes the QSA, the list of partners and administrators, with each person's name, role, entry date and age range where available.
**Are phone and email included?**
When the company has registered contact details, the record includes the phone number(s), fax and email address on file.
**Do I get the tax classification?**
Yes. Each record flags whether the company is a Simples Nacional opter and whether it is an MEI (micro-entrepreneur), with the opt-in dates when available, plus the income-tax regime history (for example Lucro Real or Lucro Presumido) by year. This is ideal for segmenting leads and for compliance checks.
**Can I look up many companies at once?**
Yes. Add as many CNPJ numbers as you like to the list and the actor returns one record per company.
### Export, API and AI agents (x402 + MCP)
Export the scraped data to **JSON, CSV or Excel**, pull it as a **dataset** through the Apify **API**, or wire it into your app with **no code**. This web scraper and data extractor also works for bulk data extraction and scheduled runs.
For AI agents: this Actor is available on **x402**, Apify's agentic payment standard built with Coinbase. An AI agent can discover, pay for and run it on its own with a funded wallet and a single HTTP request: no account, no subscription, no API key and no human in the loop. It also runs as an **MCP** tool inside Claude, Cursor and other AI clients out of the box. Learn more about [x402 agentic payments on Apify](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/x402).
