## 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".

**What is a CVR number?**
It is the unique eight-digit identifier every Danish company receives. You can enter a CVR number directly or a company name and get the best matching record.
**Do I get contact details?**
Yes. Each record includes the published phone, email and address when the company has registered them, which makes it useful for lead lists.
**Does it include the company's activity?**
Yes. Each record includes the primary industry with its official code, plus reported employee numbers.
**How fresh is the data?**
Every record is read live at run time, so it reflects the current registry entry at the moment of the run (see observedAt).
