## 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.

Updated 2026-06-27
### What you get
Each record is one registered Colorado business entity, with its identity, registration status, formation date, both postal addresses and the registered agent contact, so you can build B2B lead lists, enrich CRM data, run due diligence, or track newly formed companies.
- **entityId**: the Colorado Secretary of State entity ID number
- **entityName**: the registered legal name of the entity
- **entityStatus**: registration status (Good Standing, Delinquent, Voluntarily Dissolved, Revoked, and so on)
- **entityType**: the source entity-type code (DLLC, DPC, DNC, and so on)
- **entityTypeLabel**: the human-readable entity type (for example "Domestic Limited Liability Company")
- **formationDate**: the date the entity was formed (YYYY-MM-DD)
- **entityStatusDate**: the effective date of the current status when Colorado records it in the name suffix (for example the delinquency date); null when not present
- **jurisdiction**: the jurisdiction of formation (usually CO, or the home state/country for foreign entities)
- **principalAddress**: the principal office address (street, city, state, zip, country)
- **mailingAddress**: the principal mailing address when different from the office
- **registeredAgentName**: the registered agent, a person or an organization (high-value contact)
- **registeredAgentAddress**: the registered agent's principal address (street, city, state, zip, country)
- **registeredAgentMailingAddress**: the registered agent's mailing address when provided
- **observedAt**: when this record was last seen by the scraper

### Frequently Asked Questions
**Which entities does this cover?**
It covers the full Colorado Secretary of State business entity registry, over 3 million domestic and foreign LLCs, corporations, partnerships, cooperatives and associations. Each record includes the registered agent contact when the state has one on file.
**How many records can I pull in one run?**
You set the limit with the Max items input. Small lookups return in a single request, and large runs page through the dataset automatically. The source is the official Colorado open data registry, so multi-thousand-record runs are practical; supply your own free Socrata app token in the input to lift the public rate limit on very large jobs.
**How do I filter results?**
Use the Search text field for a free-text match across the name, agent and addresses (for example "consulting" or "brewing"), then narrow with the entity status, entity type, and "formed on or after / before" date filters. You can also sort by newest or oldest formation date to track recent registrations.
**Why is entityStatusDate sometimes empty?**
Colorado does not expose a dedicated status-date column. When the state appends the effective date to the entity name (for example "ACME LLC, Delinquent May 1, 2016") the scraper parses it into entityStatusDate; entities in Good Standing have no such suffix, so the field is null.
**What happens when a field is missing for an entity?**
Fields that the registry does not hold for a given entity, such as a separate mailing address or an organization-type agent, are returned as null rather than guessed. If a request fails the record carries an error message and the run continues.
