## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

# README

## New US Business Registrations Scraper

Find businesses in the first weeks of their life. This actor pulls newly registered LLCs, corporations and partnerships straight from official US state business registries — with mailing addresses, registered agents, and (in Connecticut) contact emails.

A brand-new company is the strongest buying signal in B2B: it needs a bank account, insurance, bookkeeping, a website, a logo, payroll and software — and it has not chosen a vendor yet.

### What you get

Every record is one registered business:

- **Identity** — legal business name, state-issued entity ID, entity type (LLC, corporation, nonprofit, partnership), and current status
- **Registration date** — the date the business was actually filed with the state
- **Address** — street, city, state, ZIP, and county where the registry publishes it
- **Registered agent** — agent name and address, which is often the founder or their attorney
- **Email** — business email address, published for every new Connecticut registration
- **Industry** — NAICS code where the registry collects one
- **Diversity flags** — woman-, veteran- and minority-owned indicators (Connecticut)

### Coverage

| State | Source | Date field means | Extras |
|---|---|---|---|
| Colorado | Secretary of State | Entity formation date | Registered agent name + address |
| New York | Department of State daily filings | Formation document filing date | Filer address, county, agent for process |
| Connecticut | Secretary of the State | Business registration date | **Email address**, NAICS code, diversity flags |
| Oregon | Secretary of State | Registry date | Registered agent, link to the state record |
| Texas | Comptroller | Franchise tax responsibility begin date | Address, county code |

Together these registries publish roughly **140,000 new business registrations a month**, and most are updated within two days.

Every record carries a `dateFieldMeaning` field spelling out exactly what its registration date represents in that state, so you never have to guess when comparing across states.

### Use cases

- **B2B lead generation** — reach founders before they have picked a bank, insurer, accountant or payroll provider
- **Agency and freelancer prospecting** — new companies need a website, branding and marketing from someone
- **Financial services outreach** — business banking, lending, and insurance targeting at the moment of formation
- **Market and territory research** — track business formation rates by city, industry or entity type over time
- **CRM enrichment** — verify a company is really registered, and pull its official legal name and registered address

### How to use

1. Select one or more **States**
2. Set **Registered after** (defaults to 30 days ago) and optionally **Registered before**
3. Narrow with **City**, **Business name contains**, or **Entity type contains** (e.g. `LLC`)
4. Leave **Active businesses only** on to skip companies already dissolved or revoked
5. Set **Max businesses** (default 500; set `0` for unlimited)
6. Run the actor — results appear in the **Dataset** tab

#### Running it daily

Set **Registered after** to yesterday's date and schedule the actor daily to get a continuous feed of brand-new companies.

#### Fetching more than one run's worth

The actor paginates automatically. To continue past **Max businesses**, open the **Key-value store** tab → copy `NEXT_PAGE_ID` → paste it into **Page ID** on the next run. If `NEXT_PAGE_ID` is `null`, every selected state has been fully fetched.

### Output format

Each dataset record:

```json
{
  "state": "CT",
  "businessName": "LUXURY HABITUAL CO.",
  "entityId": "2857197",
  "entityType": "Stock",
  "status": "Active",
  "registrationDate": "2026-08-01",
  "streetAddress": "132 Main Street",
  "city": "Hartford",
  "addressState": "CT",
  "zipCode": "06103",
  "registeredAgentName": null,
  "email": "vic_6343@yahoo.com",
  "naicsCode": "Clothing and Clothing Accessories Retailers (458110)",
  "jurisdiction": "Connecticut",
  "womanOwned": false,
  "veteranOwned": false,
  "minorityOwned": false,
  "dateFieldMeaning": "Business registration date with the Connecticut Secretary of the State"
}
```

Export to JSON, CSV, Excel or Google Sheets directly from the Apify console.

### Notes

- Field coverage differs by state because each registry publishes a different set of columns. Fields a state does not publish come back as `null` rather than being omitted, so exports stay column-consistent.
- New York's feed contains every filing type, mostly routine biennial statements from long-established companies. By default only first-time registration filings are returned — turn on **Include all New York filing types** if you want the rest.
- Texas publishes a franchise tax responsibility begin date rather than a formation date, so a small number of Texas records carry a date slightly ahead of or behind the actual formation.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
