What it does

The actor searches the Irish Companies Registration Office (CRO) open register by company name, or looks up one company by its exact registration number, and writes one normalized record per company to the run's dataset. Dates are normalized to YYYY-MM-DD, the four address lines are joined into a single address plus kept as separate fields, the NACE activity code is decoded into a readable principalActivity, and derived fields (isActive, companyAgeYears) are computed on top of the raw register fields. No account or key is required.

Optional add-ons (paid Apify plans) can attach a public business contact email and name, a plain-English company summary, KYB risk flags, and an industry classification.

Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns up to 10 Irish companies whose name matches Ryanair.

{
  "companyName": "Ryanair",
  "maxCompanies": 10
}

To look up one exact company, set companyNumber instead (it takes priority over companyName).

Run via API and CLI

Start a run and wait for it to finish, then read the dataset. Replace <TOKEN> with your Apify API token.

Run synchronously and get dataset items in one call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~ireland-cro-companies-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"companyName":"Ryanair","maxCompanies":25}'

Start a run asynchronously:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~ireland-cro-companies-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"companyNumber":"249885"}'

Apify CLI:

apify call scrapers_lat/ireland-cro-companies-scraper \
  --input '{"companyName":"Kerry","maxCompanies":10}'

Fetch results

Every run writes to a dataset. Fetch items as JSON, CSV, or Excel by changing format:

# JSON
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=json"

# CSV
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=csv"

# Paginate large datasets
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&offset=1000&limit=1000"

<DATASET_ID> is returned as defaultDatasetId in the run object. clean=true drops empty and internal fields.

Billing and limits

• Pay per result. You are charged per company record returned (result event). See the pricing tab for the current per-result price.
• Add-ons billed separately. Contact enrichment and the AI add-ons (ai_company_summary, ai_risk_flags, ai_industry) are optional paid events charged only when they produce usable output, and require a paid Apify plan.
• No charge on failure. If a run finds nothing or the source is down, it writes a single item with a populated error field and does not charge for it.
• Free Apify plans are capped at 10 companies per run (and 3 contact enrichment attempts). Upgrade for higher maxCompanies.
• Spend cap respected. Set maxTotalChargeUsd on the run; once reached, the actor stops emitting and charging further billable results.

FAQ and troubleshooting

A name search returned nothing. Why? No company on the CRO register matched that name text. Try a shorter or differently spelled name. Zero-result runs are not charged.

How do I look up one exact company? Set companyNumber to the CRO registration number. It takes priority over companyName and returns a single record.

What does isActive mean? true when the company status is Normal and it has no dissolved date. Dissolved, struck-off, or otherwise abnormal companies are false.

Why is eircode or naceCode null? The register does not carry that value for the company. Missing source values are returned as null, never invented.

Do the add-ons work on a free plan? The AI add-ons require a paid Apify plan. Contact enrichment runs on free plans but is capped at 3 attempts per run.

Is this an official CRO tool? No. This actor is independent and has no affiliation with the Irish Companies Registration Office. It reads only data published through the CRO open data register.
