## 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.

## EUIPO Registered Community Designs Scraper: Owner, Locarno & Status
> Search the EU Registered Community Designs (RCD) register at scale and get clean, structured records: design and application numbers, indication of product, Locarno classes, status, the owner company name and full address, the designer, the legal representative, filing, registration, publication and expiry dates, priority and the design representation images. Filter by product, owner name, design number, Locarno class, status and filing or registration date range. Built for design monitoring, competitor tracking, IP due diligence and product-design intelligence.

Owner + designer company, address & designer
Numbers, Locarno & status plus product & dates
JSON / CSV / Excel output formats
### What you get
One flat record per Registered Community Design, ready for CSV or Excel:
- **Identity:** design number, application number, registration number, indication of product and EUIPO status.
- **Owner (holder):** company / organization name, legal entity, nationality and full postal address (street, city, postcode, country). This is the corporate lead behind the product design.
- **Designer & representative:** the designer name (when cited) and the legal representative name, address, city and country.
- **Classification:** all Locarno classes the design covers, plus the indication of product across languages.
- **Timeline:** filing date, registration date, publication date, expiry / renewal date and priority (number, country, date).
- **Images:** full-size representation image URLs and a thumbnail for every view of the design.
- **Coverage:** EU protection territories, a direct link to the EUIPO eSearch detail page and the DesignView detail page.
No result, no charge: empty and failed runs are never billed. Records are flushed as they are collected, so a long run never loses data.
### Who is it for
| Use case | Who benefits |
|---|---|
| Design monitoring | IP teams and law firms watching new design filings in a product class |
| Competitor tracking | Companies mapping rivals' industrial-design portfolios |
| IP due diligence & M\&A | Analysts verifying design ownership, status and priority before a deal |
| Product & brand protection | Teams spotting look-alike designs and freedom-to-operate risks |
### How to use it
1. Enter one or more **search queries** (a product like `chair`, an owner name, or any keyword), or specific **design numbers**.
2. Optionally filter by **Locarno class**, **status**, **indication of product**, **owner name** and **filing / registration date range**.
3. Keep **enrichment** on to get the owner's full address, the indication-of-product text, the designer and all images.
4. Set **Max Designs** and run. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull it through the Apify API.
### Frequently Asked Questions
**What is a Registered Community Design?**
An RCD is an EU-wide industrial-design right covering the appearance of a product (shape, pattern, ornamentation). One registration protects the design across all EU member states.
**What is a Locarno class?**
The Locarno classification groups designs by product type (for example class 06 is furnishing, class 02 is clothing). Filter by a class prefix like `06` or a full subclass like `06.04`.
**Do I get the owner's address?**
Yes. With enrichment on, each record includes the owner company name and full postal address, plus the designer and legal representative where published.
**Can I look up a specific design?**
Yes. Put its design or application number (e.g. `000808936-0006`) in the design numbers field.
**How fresh is the data?**
The register is read live at run time, so each record reflects the design at the moment of the run (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).
