## 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.

| Use case | Who benefits |
|---|---|
| Lead generation | Sales teams building lists of newly incorporated Chilean companies |

| KYB & onboarding | Teams verifying a Chilean company's RUT, name and registry details |
| Data enrichment | Appending registry firmographics to a list of RUTs |
### How to use it
1. Add one or more **company-name keywords**, or exact **RUT numbers**.
2. Optionally narrow by **society type**, **region code** (1-16) or **years**.
3. Set **Max Companies To Scrape** and run. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull the dataset through the Apify API.
### Frequently Asked Questions
**What is the RES?**
The Registro de Empresas y Sociedades is Chile's official simplified company registry ("Tu Empresa en un Día"), where companies are incorporated and their core details recorded.
**Can I search by company name?**
Yes. Add one or more keywords and the actor returns every company whose name matches, across the available years.
**Which years are covered?**
The actor automatically discovers every year the registry publishes and searches them all by default; you can restrict to specific years.
**How fresh is the data?**
Records are read live at run time from the official open-data service (see `observedAt`).
### 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).
