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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Brazil CNPJ Scraper — Receita Federal Company Records Look up Brazilian companies by CNPJ — full Receita Federal record: legal name, address, status, share capital, CNAE industry codes, partners (QSA), tax regime history, and contact details. Bulk batch. No API key. ### What you get - One row per Brazilian company, fetched live from Brazil's federal tax registry (Receita Federal) - **Legal name** (razão social), **trade name** (nome fantasia), and CNPJ in both raw and formatted (`19.131.243/0001-97`) forms - **Registration status** — Active / Suspended / Inactive / Closed — with the date and reason - **Address** — street, number, complement, neighborhood, city, state, ZIP, IBGE code, country - **Industry classification** — primary CNAE code + description, plus the full list of secondary CNAEs - **Share capital**, company size (ME / EPP / DEMAIS), legal nature, founding date - **Partners (QSA)** — every officer / shareholder with their name, role, join date, age range, and masked tax ID - **Tax regime history** — annual Simples Nacional / MEI / Lucro Real status (optional) - **Contact** — phone (DDD + number), fax, email - Direct export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets ### Use cases - **Lead generation** — enrich a list of CNPJs scraped elsewhere with full company profiles for outbound campaigns - **Due diligence** — verify a Brazilian counterparty's legal status, partners, and tax-regime history in seconds - **B2B sales** — filter prospects by CNAE (industry), state, size, or active/inactive status - **AML / KYC** — pull the QSA (partners list) for ultimate beneficial ownership review - **Financial / lending** — check `situacao_cadastral`, capital social, and founding date for credit decisions - **Research / journalism** — bulk-enrich datasets of government contractors, exporters, or news subjects ### How to use 1. Paste one or more **CNPJs** — with or without punctuation. Both `19.131.243/0001-97` and `19131243000197` work. 2. Choose what to include: **Partners (QSA)**, **Secondary CNAEs**, **Tax regime history** (off by default). 3. Set **Concurrency** (default 5; max 10) to control how fast we hit BrasilAPI. 4. Set **Max items** (0 = no cap) and run. One company per row in the **Dataset** tab. ### Output format ```json { "cnpj": "19131243000197", "cnpjFormatted": "19.131.243/0001-97", "legalName": "OPEN KNOWLEDGE BRASIL", "tradeName": "REDE PELO CONHECIMENTO LIVRE", "status": "ATIVA", "statusCode": 2, "statusDate": "2013-12-13", "statusReason": "SEM MOTIVO", "founded": "2013-12-13", "branchType": "MATRIZ", "size": "DEMAIS", "legalNature": "Associação Privada", "legalNatureCode": 3999, "capitalSocial": 0, "mainCnaeCode": 9430800, "mainCnaeDescription": "Atividades de associações de defesa de direitos sociais", "secondaryCnaes": [ { "code": 6204000, "description": "Consultoria em tecnologia da informação" }, { "code": 8599699, "description": "Outras atividades de ensino não especificadas anteriormente" } ], "street": "PAULISTA 37", "number": "37", "complement": "ANDAR 4", "neighborhood": "BELA VISTA", "city": "SAO PAULO", "state": "SP", "zip": "01311902", "cityCode": 7107, "ibgeCode": 3550308, "country": null, "phone1": "1123851939", "phone2": null, "fax": null, "email": null, "simplesNacional": false, "simplesOptIn": null, "simplesOptOut": null, "mei": null, "meiOptIn": null, "meiOptOut": null, "responsibleEntity": "", "specialStatus": null, "specialStatusDate": null, "partners": [ { "name": "HAYDEE SVAB", "taxId": "***112108**", "role": "Presidente", "joinedAt": "2024-02-27", "ageRange": "Entre 41 a 50 anos", "legalRepName": null, "legalRepTaxId": null, "legalRepRole": null } ], "taxRegimes": [], "fetchedAt": "2026-05-18T01:30:00.000Z" } ```` ### Input options | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | CNPJs | array | One or more CNPJs, with or without punctuation | | Include partners | boolean | Include the QSA (corporate partners / officers). Default true | | Include secondary CNAEs | boolean | Include the full list of registered economic activities. Default true | | Include tax regimes | boolean | Include annual tax-regime history.

Punctuation is optional — '19.131.243/0001-97' and '19131243000197' are both accepted. Invalid entries are skipped with a log warning. ## `includePartners` (type: `boolean`): Include the list of corporate partners / officers (Quadro de Sócios e Administradores). Disable for smaller rows when you only need company-level data. ## `includeSecondaryCnaes` (type: `boolean`): Include the company's full list of registered economic activities (CNAEs). The primary CNAE is always included. ## `includeTaxRegimes` (type: `boolean`): Include the annual tax-regime history (forma de tributação per year). Useful for due diligence; off by default to keep rows compact. ## `concurrency` (type: `integer`): Parallel CNPJ lookups against BrasilAPI. Higher = faster but may trigger 429 rate-limits. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum companies to return. 0 = no cap (process all CNPJs). ## Actor input object example ```json { "cnpjs": [ "19131243000197" ], "includePartners": true, "includeSecondaryCnaes": true, "includeTaxRegimes": false, "concurrency": 5, "maxItems": 0 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): Fields: cnpj, cnpjFormatted, legalName, tradeName, status, statusCode, statusDate, statusReason, founded, branchType, size, legalNature, legalNatureCode, capitalSocial, mainCnaeCode, mainCnaeDescription, secondaryCnaes, full address fields (street/number/complement/neighborhood/city/state/zip/cityCode/ibgeCode/country), phone1, phone2, fax, email, simplesNacional + dates, mei + dates, responsibleEntity, partners (QSA), taxRegimes, fetchedAt. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
