Brazil CNPJ Scraper - Receita Federal Company Data

Disclaimer: This Actor is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the Receita Federal do Brasil or any government body. All trademarks mentioned are the property of their respective owners. The CNPJ register is referenced only to describe the public data source this Actor collects from.

Bulk-look up any Brazilian company by CNPJ and get its full Receita Federal registry record as clean rows: legal name, trade name, registration status, CNAE activities, full address, email, phone numbers, capital, company size, Simples / MEI status and the partners (QSA) with roles and entry dates. Built on official open data - no API key, no browser, no proxy. Paste one CNPJ or import a file with 10,000.

What you get per company

Field	Meaning
legalName / tradeName / cnpjFormatted	Razão social, nome fantasia and the formatted CNPJ
status / statusDate / statusReason	Registration status (Ativa, Baixada, Suspensa, Inapta, Nula)
mainActivity / mainActivityCode / secondaryActivities	CNAE activities with descriptions
street / district / city / state / zip	Registered address
email / phones / fax	Contact details straight from the registry
capital / companySize / legalNature	Share capital (R$), size class and legal nature
simplesOptant / meiOptant	Simples Nacional and MEI tax-regime status
partners / partnersCount	QSA - partner names, roles, entry dates and representatives
isHeadquarters / openedDate / source	Matriz vs filial, opening date, which mirror served it

Input

{ "cnpjs": ["00.000.000/0001-91", "47.960.950/0001-21"], "statuses": ["Ativa"] }

• CNPJ numbers - one per line, with or without punctuation. Invalid check digits are skipped free.
• Import from a file - paste a list, or link a public .txt/.csv, a Google Sheet/Drive link, or an Apify key-value-store record.
• Filters - keep only selected states (UF), statuses, size classes, headquarters only, or a CNAE code prefix (e.g. 47 retail, 6201 software). Filtered-out companies are never charged.
• Output fields - trim every record to exactly the columns you need.

Leave everything empty and the run returns a small free sample so you can see the shape first.

Reliability

Reads Receita Federal open data through three independent public mirrors with automatic failover (OpenCNPJ, Minha Receita, BrasilAPI) - no key, no proxy, no anti-bot. A CNPJ that does not exist, an invalid number, a filtered-out company or a run that returns nothing bills $0.

Honest limits

• Partner CPF numbers arrive masked (***688188**) - Receita Federal publishes them that way for privacy; it is the source's redaction, not a scraping gap.
• email/phones reflect what the company filed with Receita Federal - measured on real runs they are present on most active companies, but a company that filed nothing has an honest null.
• simplesOptant / meiOptant are tri-state - true/false when Receita's Simples/MEI table has an explicit record for the CNPJ, null when it has no record there at all (common for large corporations).
• statusReason is filled mainly for closed/suspended companies - active companies usually have none.
• Records reflect the latest monthly Receita Federal open-data release the mirrors carry, not same-day filings.

Pricing

$0.002 per company on the FREE tier (tiered pricing lowers it with volume). Only companies actually saved are billed; empty runs, invalid CNPJs, not-found CNPJs and filtered-out rows cost nothing.

Output views

• Companies - legal name, status, city, state, main activity, email, phones, capital, opened date, CNPJ.

Use with AI assistants (MCP)

Available through the Apify MCP server - an agent can verify a Brazilian supplier's registration status, pull its partners, or enrich a CNPJ list with contacts and CNAE activities in one call.

Agent-ready: autonomous payments (x402 & Skyfire)

This actor is agent-ready - AI agents can discover it, run it, and pay for it autonomously, with no Apify account and no human in the loop. It uses pay-per-event pricing and limited permissions, so it qualifies for Apify's agentic-payment standards:

• x402 - an open, HTTP-native payment protocol. Agents pay per run in USDC on the Base network directly through the Apify MCP server - no account, no API key.
• Skyfire - agent-to-service payments for fully autonomous AI-agent workflows.

Automate & schedule

Run this Actor on autopilot and pull results into your own stack:

• Apify API - start runs, fetch datasets and manage schedules over REST.
• apify-client for JavaScript and apify-client for Python - official SDKs.
• Schedules - run it hourly, daily or weekly and keep your dataset current.
• Webhooks - trigger downstream actions (CRM import, Slack alert, email sequence) the moment a run finishes.

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'MY_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('scrapesage/brazil-cnpj-scraper').call({
    "cnpjs": [
        "00.000.000/0001-91",
        "33.000.167/0001-01",
        "47.960.950/0001-21"
    ]
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Got ${items.length} records`);

• Make - multi-step automation scenarios.
• Zapier - push new records straight into your CRM or spreadsheet.
• Slack - get notified when a scheduled run finds something new.
• Google Drive / Sheets - auto-export every run to a spreadsheet.

Is it legal to scrape the CNPJ register? This Actor collects publicly available data only. You are responsible for using the output in compliance with applicable laws (including data-protection law where personal data is involved) and the source's terms. See Data & lawful use and the Disclaimer below.

Data & lawful use

The source is an official public register, published so that anyone can consult it. Records can name individuals (partners and administrators (sócios)), so the output may contain personal data even though it is public. If you are in the EU or UK you are the data controller for what you do with it: have a lawful basis, honour access and deletion requests, and respect the register's own reuse conditions, which can restrict marketing or commercial use.

Under Apify's Standard Actor Contract, which governs your use of this Actor, you are the controller of any personal data in your input and output and scrapesage acts only as your processor: that data is processed solely to run your job, written only to your own Apify storage, never used for any other purpose and never shared onward. If you need help with a data-subject request that involves this Actor's output, open an issue on the Issues tab.
