What it does

The actor searches the New Zealand Companies Register by company name keyword, company number or NZBN, paginates through the matches, and writes one normalized record per entity to the run's dataset. Each record carries the base register fields (company number, NZBN, name, status, entity type, incorporation date, registered office) and, within the run's time budget, is enriched from the entity detail endpoints with directors, shareholder and document counts, name history, register-published contact details, trading name, ultimate holding company and insolvency flags. Dates are normalized to YYYY-MM-DD, and missing source values are returned as null.

Data covers New Zealand registered entities only. No account, key or login is required.

Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns up to 10 companies matching air new zealand.

{
  "searchQuery": "air new zealand",
  "maxCompanies": 10
}

searchQuery accepts a name keyword (construction), a company number, or a 13-digit NZBN. Turn on enrichContacts to attempt a public business email and contact name for each result without a register email (paid add-on).

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~newzealand-companies-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchQuery":"construction","maxCompanies":25}'

Start a run asynchronously:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~newzealand-companies-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchQuery":"9429032058956","maxCompanies":1}'

Apify CLI:

apify call scrapers_lat/newzealand-companies-scraper \
  --input '{"searchQuery":"air new zealand","maxCompanies":50}'

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. Use offset and limit to page through large result sets. clean=true drops empty and internal fields.

Billing and limits

• Pay per result. You are charged per record returned (result event). See the pricing tab for the current per-result price.
• Contact enrichment add-on. When enrichContacts is on, the add-on is billed per attempt, plus an extra charge only when a public email is found. It runs only on results that lack a register email.
• No charge on failure. If a run errors, the actor writes a single item with a populated error field and does not charge for it. Empty runs cost nothing.
• Spend cap respected. Set maxTotalChargeUsd on the run; once reached, the actor stops emitting and charging further billable results.
• Free Apify plans are capped at 10 records per run, and the contact-enrichment add-on is capped at 3 attempts per run. Upgrade for higher limits.

FAQ and troubleshooting

A run returned 0 records. Why? The search matched no entity. Try a broader name keyword, or confirm the company number or NZBN. Zero-result runs are not charged.

Can I look up one company by number or NZBN? Yes. Pass the company number or the 13-digit NZBN as searchQuery and set maxCompanies to 1.

Does it include directors and name history? Yes, when the run has time budget to open the detail endpoints. Each record includes directors (name, appointment date, address), previous names, counts and insolvency flags. Missing values are returned as null.

What does the contact-enrichment add-on do? For results without a register email, it attempts to find a public business email and a contact person's name using a web-connected model. New fields are namespaced enriched*. It never invents an email; when none is found it sets enrichedEmailStatus to not_found.

Is this an official New Zealand register tool? No. This actor is independent and has no affiliation with the New Zealand Companies Office. It reads only data that is publicly available through the register. Use the results in accordance with the source's terms.
