## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Denmark CVR Company Health & KYB Risk Score

Look up any Danish company in the official **CVR** registry (Det Centrale Virksomhedsregister) and get back a single, explainable **0–100 health score** with a letter grade (A–F) and a risk band (LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH).

Most CVR tools hand you raw registry fields and leave the judgement to you. This one does the judgement: it turns the registry data into a defensible KYB/risk signal, and shows you the reason for every point.

### What it's for

- **KYB onboarding** — score a Danish company in one call before you let it onto your platform.
- **AML / compliance screening** — automatically catch ceased, dissolved, and bankrupt entities.
- **B2B sales & supplier due diligence** — rank prospects or vendors by operational substance and standing.
- **Lead enrichment** — append a health grade to a list of Danish companies.

### Input

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `companies` | List of lookups. Each can be an 8-digit CVR number (`24256790`), a VAT number (`DK24256790`), or a company name (`Novo Nordisk`). CVR number matches most reliably. |
| `country` | `dk` (Denmark, default) or `no` (Norway). |
| `contactEmail` | A real email or app name. The registry requires every caller to self-identify; it is sent only in the request header. |
| `includeRawData` | Include the normalized raw registry fields alongside the score (default `true`). |

### Output (one record per company)

```json
{
  "query": "24256790",
  "found": true,
  "country": "dk",
  "name": "Novo Nordisk A/S",
  "vat": "24256790",
  "healthScore": 100,
  "grade": "A",
  "riskBand": "LOW",
  "components": {
    "longevity":             { "score": 30, "max": 30, "reason": "Long-standing entity (~36 yr)." },
    "statusIntegrity":       { "score": 30, "max": 30, "reason": "Active and in normal standing." },
    "operationalFootprint":  { "score": 20, "max": 20, "reason": "3 production units. ~50000+ employees." },
    "transparency":          { "score": 20, "max": 20, "reason": "Public contact details. Industry-classified. Address listed." }
  },
  "raw": { "name": "...", "address": "...", "industrycode": "...", "productionUnitCount": 3, "...": "..." }
}
````

### How the score works

The score is fully transparent and additive (max 100), then **gated**:

- **Longevity** (0–30) — how long the entity has existed.
- **Status integrity** (0–30) — active and solvent vs. distressed.
- **Operational footprint** (0–20) — production units + employee headcount.
- **Transparency** (0–20) — reachable, industry-classified, address not protected.

A **fatal flag** — bankruptcy, cessation, or dissolution — caps the total at 25 (grade F, HIGH risk) no matter how strong the other signals are. A bankrupt 30-year-old company is exactly what a KYB check exists to catch, so it cannot score "investable".

### Data source & privacy

Data comes from the official Danish CVR registry via its free public JSON gateway. **Company-level (legal-entity) data only** — this actor never requests or returns beneficial-ownership or natural-person records, which are access-restricted in Denmark since September 2025. GDPR-safe by construction.

For very high request volumes, the Danish Business Authority also offers an authenticated system-to-system distribution feed; the scoring logic in `src/scoring.py` is source-agnostic and can be pointed at it.

### Notes

- Be specific with name searches — an exact CVR number always beats a fuzzy name.
- The actor paces requests gently to respect the free gateway's rate limits.
- Pricing is pay-per-result.

# Actor input Schema

## `companies` (type: `array`):

One entry per company. Each entry can be an 8-digit Danish CVR number (e.g. 24256790), a Danish VAT number (e.g. DK24256790), or a company name (e.g. 'Novo Nordisk'). CVR number gives the most reliable match.

## `country` (type: `string`):

Which national business registry to query. 'dk' = Denmark (CVR), 'no' = Norway (Brønnøysund). Defaults to Denmark.

## `contactEmail` (type: `string`):

The official CVR API requires every caller to identify themselves with a contact in the request. Put a real email or app name here. It is sent only in the User-Agent header to the registry and is not stored or published anywhere.

## `includeRawData` (type: `boolean`):

If enabled, each result also contains the normalized raw company fields (name, address, industry code, status, production unit count, etc.) alongside the computed score. Disable for a leaner score-only output.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "companies": [
    "24256790",
    "Novo Nordisk",
    "DK28866984"
  ],
  "country": "dk",
  "contactEmail": "apify-actor@example.com",
  "includeRawData": true
}
```
