Look back this many days

lookbackDays

Optional

How many publication days back from today to crawl, when you have not set explicit dates below. 1 = today only. The Actor issues exactly ONE request per publication day (never offset paging, see the README for why that matters), so 30 days = 30 list requests.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:3000

Default:1

Publication date from

dateFrom

Optional

YYYY-MM-DD. Overrides the lookback window. Day-granular and verified server-side. The archive starts 2018-01-01 (2017 returns 0 rows).

Type:string

Default:

Example:

2026-08-01

Publication date to

dateTo

Optional

YYYY-MM-DD. Overrides the lookback window.

Type:string

Default:

Example:

2026-08-31

Include tomorrow's gazette (the head start)

includeFuturePublications

Optional

SHAB loads a publication into the API up to ~2 days BEFORE its official publication date. With this on, the default window reaches 7 days forward, so you see registrations before they are formally gazetted. Measured 2026-09-03: the window 2026-09-04 to 2026-09-10 already returned 244 rows created 2026-09-02. That head start is the buyer's real edge. Turn it off for a strict historical export.

Type:boolean

Default:true

Cantons

cantons

Optional

Server-side filter, verified additive (ZH 73,011 + VD 39,458 = 112,469 together). Counts in brackets are that canton's total HR01 registrations since 2018, measured live 2026-09-04. Leave empty for all of Switzerland.

Type:string[]

Default:

[]

Keyword (full text, server-side)

keyword

Optional

Searched server-side across the entire publication text: company name, business purpose, address and the named officers. This is the lever that turns the gazette into a niche lead list. Measured hit counts across the whole archive: Zahnarzt 72, Softwareentwicklung 1,254, Treuhand 6,698, postcode 8001 gives 2,789, an exact CHE UID gives exactly 1.

Type:string

Default:

Example:

Treuhand

Publication language

publicationLanguage

Optional

The language the cantonal register published in, a good proxy for the language region. Server-side. Measured archive split: German 272,438, French 112,595, Italian 19,629.

Type:string

Default:any

Options:

anydefrit

Company UIDs

uids

Optional

Swiss UIDs in the form CHE-123.456.789. Verified to resolve to exactly one publication on 12 of 12 spot checks across all 404,662 records.

Type:array

Default:

[]

Example:

[
  "CHE-103.703.601"
]

Company names

companyNames

Optional

Exact or partial company names, resolved through the same server-side full-text search.

Type:array

Default:

[]

SHAB publication IDs

publicationIds

Optional

The publication UUID from a shab.ch detail URL. Fetched directly. Anything that is not an HR01 new registration is skipped with a warning rather than silently returned.

Type:array

Default:

[]

SHAB URLs

startUrls

Optional

Paste shab.ch publication links or raw API URLs. The publication UUID is read out of each one. A URL carrying no UUID is skipped with a warning.

Type:array

Default:

[]

Legal forms

legalForms

Optional

Keep only these legal forms. Empty = all. The raw 4-digit register code is always emitted in the legalForm field regardless, and legalFormLabel is null for any code we have not seen in a live publication rather than guessed at (measured 99.5% labelled over 400 consecutive registrations).

Type:string[]

Default:

[]

Exclude branch registrations

excludeBranches

Optional

On by default. A branch (Zweigniederlassung / succursale) is a new office of a company that already exists, so it carries no founders and no share capital and is a weak lead. Measured 3.6% of registrations, and all 5 records in our 250-doc sample where no person could be parsed were branches.

Type:boolean

Default:true

Minimum share capital (CHF)

minShareCapitalChf

Optional

Keep only companies whose registered nominal capital is at least this. Capital is present on 62.8% of registrations. It is absent BY LAW on sole proprietorships, not missing data, so any minimum implicitly drops them.

Type:integer

Minimum:0

Maximum share capital (CHF)

maxShareCapitalChf

Optional

Keep only companies at or below this nominal capital. Useful for targeting the CHF 20,000 GmbH floor rather than large incorporations.

Type:integer

Minimum:0

Only companies with share capital

requireCapital

Optional

Drops sole proprietorships and other forms that register no capital.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Only fully paid-up capital

requirePaidUpFull

Optional

Keeps only companies whose paid-in capital equals the nominal capital, a solvency signal for finance and leasing buyers.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Postcodes

zipCodes

Optional

Exact Swiss postcodes of the registered office, e.g. 8001. Empty = anywhere.

Type:array

Default:

[]

Town contains

townContains

Optional

Substring match against the registered town and the registered seat, case-insensitive.

Type:string

Default:

Only companies with a street address

requireStreetAddress

Optional

Drops the rare registration filed with no domicile address. Measured 100% street, 100% postcode and 99.2% house number on a 250-record sample, so this removes very little.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Business-purpose keywords

purposeKeywords

Optional

Matched case-insensitively against the statutory business purpose, the full register text and the company name. This is what turns the feed into a vertical: Zahnarzt / cabinet dentaire, Bauunternehmen, Restaurant, Immobilien, Software. Every Swiss company must file a purpose, and the field is present on 97.2% of records.

Type:array

Default:

[]

Example:

[
  "Zahnarzt",
  "cabinet dentaire"
]

Purpose keyword mode

purposeKeywordsMode

Optional

ANY keeps a company matching at least one keyword (a vertical). ALL keeps only companies matching every keyword (a precise niche).

Type:string

Default:any

Options:

anyall

Exclude keywords

excludeKeywords

Optional

Drop any company whose purpose, register text or name contains one of these. Applied after the include filters.

Type:array

Default:

[]

Only companies with a named founder or officer

requireRegisteredPersons

Optional

Keeps only rows where at least one named person was parsed out of the register text. Measured on 250 records: 98.0% overall and 100.0% of non-branch registrations. See the README honest-limits section: the register does not publish persons as structured XML.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Cantonal register office contains

registrationOfficeContains

Optional

Substring match against the filing office name, e.g. Zurich or Geneve. Mostly redundant with the canton filter, but exposed for exact office-level exports.

Type:string

Default:

Fetch the full register record

includeDetail

Optional

ON (default): one extra request per company fetches the register XML, giving UID, address, legal form, share capital, business purpose and the named founders. OFF: list metadata only (headline, date, canton, register office) with NO UID, address, capital or persons. List-only rows are billed at a separate, much cheaper event.

Type:boolean

Default:true

Extract founders and officers

extractRegisteredPersons

Optional

Parse the named persons out of the register text into a structured array. Turn this OFF for a company-only export containing no personal data at all.

Type:boolean

Default:true

One row per person

personsAsSeparateRows

Optional

Emit one dataset row per named founder or officer, each carrying the full company columns, which is the shape a CRM import wants. You are still billed ONCE PER COMPANY, never per person.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Include the full register text

includeFullPublicationText

Optional

The complete published notice in German, French or Italian. Present on 100% of records and the honest fallback wherever person parsing is imperfect.

Type:boolean

Default:true

Include the business purpose

includePurpose

Optional

The full statutory purpose clause, often 1,000 to 2,500 characters.

Type:boolean

Default:true

Truncate the purpose at

purposeMaxChars

Optional

0 keeps the whole clause. Set e.g. 300 if you are exporting to Google Sheets, where multi-thousand-character cells are painful.

Type:integer

Minimum:0

Default:0

Legal-form label language

legalFormLabelLanguage

Optional

Language of the human-readable legalFormLabel. The raw 4-digit code stays in legalForm.

Type:string

Default:en

Options:

endefrit

Include the headline in all four languages

includeTitleTranslations

Optional

SHAB publishes each headline in German, French, Italian and English. English is always emitted; this adds the other three.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Include the shab.ch link

includePublicationUrl

Optional

A direct link to the published notice on shab.ch. A Zefix company link is always included.

Type:boolean

Default:true

Include the source XML link

includeXmlUrl

Optional

The API URL of the underlying register XML, so you can audit any row back to the source bytes.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Include the signed-PDF link

includePdfUrl

Optional

The officially signed PDF of the notice. Not every publication has one.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Include the raw register XML

includeRawXml

Optional

Attaches the complete source XML to every row. An escape hatch for buyers who want fields we do not surface; it makes rows several kilobytes larger.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Keep only these fields

fieldsToInclude

Optional

Whitelist of output field names, e.g. companyName, uid, addressFull, primaryPerson. Empty keeps every field. A whitelist that matches nothing is ignored rather than emptying your rows.

Type:array

Default:

[]

Flatten for CSV or Sheets

flattenOutput

Optional

Flattens nested objects and arrays into dot-notation columns (registeredPersons.0.fullName and so on) so a CSV or Google Sheets export is readable.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Maximum companies

maxItems

Optional

Hard cap on billed companies. Set 0 for no cap, bounded then only by your date window and the run timeout.

Type:integer

Minimum:0

Default:100

Maximum publication days

maxDaysToCrawl

Optional

Stop after this many publication days, whatever the date window says. 0 means no limit. A safety rail for large historical backfills.

Type:integer

Minimum:0

Default:0

Also collapse duplicates by

dedupeBy

Optional

The same publication is NEVER delivered or billed twice; that guard is always on. This chooses whether a second, company-level pass also collapses two publications sharing one CHE UID (rare in HR01, but possible across a wide window).

Type:string

Default:publicationId

Options:

publicationIduidnone

Skip companies seen in earlier runs

dedupeAgainstPreviousRuns

Optional

Remembers every publication ID in a NAMED key-value store that survives between runs, so a daily or weekly schedule only ever returns, and only ever bills, genuinely new registrations.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Start where the last run stopped

onlyNewSinceLastRun

Optional

Begins the date window at the newest publication date any previous run delivered, instead of the lookback window. Uses the same named store.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Name of the memory store

namedStateStoreKey

Optional

Optional. Which named key-value store holds the run-to-run memory. Defaults to shab-new-companies-state. Give separate schedules separate names so they do not share memory.

Type:string

Default:

Publication date order

sortOrder

Optional

Newest publication day first, or oldest first, which is better for a chronological backfill.

Type:string

Default:desc

Options:

descasc

Concurrent requests

requestConcurrency

Optional

Parallel register-XML fetches. Measured success through the Apify datacenter proxy: 5 gave 100% (15/15), 10 gave 100% (30/30), 20 gave 95% (57/60, and all 3 losses were proxy-side socket resets, never a block from shab.ch). 10 is the tested sweet spot.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:20

Default:10

Retries per request

maxRequestRetries

Optional

Across 554 recon requests, 98.0% succeeded first try and 100% succeeded after at most one retry. Every loss was an Apify-proxy socket reset: no CAPTCHA, no 403, no rate limit.

Type:integer

Minimum:0

Maximum:8

Default:3

Request timeout (seconds)

requestTimeoutSecs

Optional

How long a single request may take before it is retried.

Type:integer

Minimum:5

Maximum:300

Default:60

Proxy

proxyConfiguration

Optional

Apify datacenter proxy is the default and is all this Actor needs: measured 200 OK on datacenter, on residential Switzerland and on residential US, all returning identical data. Residential was 5x slower for no benefit. Pin a country only if your own policy requires it.

Type:object

Default:

{
  "useApifyProxy": true
}

Webhook URL

webhookUrl

Optional

Optional. POSTed a JSON summary at the end of the run: company count, the run and dataset IDs, and up to 50 sample companies. Pair it with the memory store for a genuine new-registration alert.

Type:string

Default:

Slack webhook URL

slackWebhookUrl

Optional

Optional. Posts a formatted digest of the newest registrations to a Slack incoming webhook.

Type:string

Default:

Alert only on genuinely new companies

notifyOnlyNew

Optional

Restricts the webhook and Slack alerts to publications not seen by a previous run. Uses the same named memory store.

Type:boolean

Default:false
